Cursed Immortality

Chapter 558 Never Trust a Goblin

A day later, Jacob stood at the beach of the island as a cold sea breeze brushed past his body. At this moment, a shipʼs silhouette appeared in his view as his lips curled up.

”He really came.” He muttered.

”Do you need my help?” Nyxʼs voice sounded in his head as she was done with the ogres and others, and she was busy learning different things Jacob had taught her. Still, she was a predator and couldnʼt help but get hungry when she saw fresh prey.

”Letʼs see, if heʼs alone, then let Autarch handle it, and if heʼs bringing others with him, you can have the rest.” Jacob chuckled as he had his own plans.

”I never thought you were an insect person,” Nyx replied with a hint of displeasure.

When she learned about Autarchʼs existence and its talent, she was clearly jealous since she thought Jacob only had her and didnʼt need anyone else.

”Donʼt make a fuss. Autarch has its own uniqueness, and you have yours. It can absorb the memories of others, which is extremely helpful for me. As for you, you are still learning to control your abilities.” Said Jacob impassively.

”Hmph, who do you like more, me or that insect?” Nyx asked as she didnʼt like being put in the same category as an insect. She had her own pride, and her background was probably bigger than fantastic insects.

Jacob shook his head helplessly as he didnʼt expect Nyx to react this way; she was like a brat, while Autarch was very obedient. He clearly likes the latter more.

”Of course, I like you more since you have more potential than Autarch. Still, we have to use every available tool in our arsenal to get what we want. Donʼt forget what I teach you.” Jacob coolly answered.

”Hehe, you shouldʼve said this sooner.” Nyx instantly becomes happy.

Jacob chuckled as Nyx was very easy to trick.

Soon, the ship finally reached the beach, and three cloaked persons landed on the sand.

Jacobʼs eyes turned golden for a moment before returning to normal, and no one noticed it.

ʼHeʼs testing me.ʼ Jacobʼs lips curled up as he didnʼt expect anything less from the Society Killer, who was as infamous as him and even more resourceful.

”I thought you were coming alone?” Jacob coldly said while looking at the three persons in front of him.

They were all tiny in front of him, and their power level was peak epics.

”Now, donʼt get angry. They are my trusted men, and they are very useful. Iʼm not like you, who can overpower the entire epic plains. But I have to say, damn, youʼre massive.” The Society Killerʼs voice rang from the figure in the center as he removed the hood. A smiling barbarianʼs face was revealed with tattoos on his bronze skin.

However, Jacob didnʼt even look at him and coldly stared at the ship, ”Donʼt play tricks with me with a puppet. I might take it as if youʼre thinking of me as a fool. Your true body is hiding in that ship. If you want to cooperate with me sincerely, then come out or scram.” He coldly said.

How could he not be on high alert in front of the Society Killer? He didnʼt even need Immortika to see through this façade as just activating his eyes of judge for a moment could tell him everything.

He Instantly saw all three of these people in front of him were attached through strings of magic, and the source was hidden in that ship. Furthermore, Nyx instantly told me these three didnʼt have any dreamscape realms, which meant they were dead.

Jacob never expected someone other than Autarch to have such abilities to control puppets like this, and without Nyx or the eyes of a judge, he might never be able to tell on his own. The Society Killer was really sly.

”Oh?” The Society Killerʼs startling voice sounded before the barbarianʼs expression turned static, ”I never thought you were so capable. Please forgive me for the offense; I was just joking.” Said the Society Killer.

At this moment, a small cloaked figure appeared on the ship, and he was the true Society Killer.

Once he landed in front of the three puppets, he waved his sleeve, and those three puppets vanished into his storage ring.

Then, he removed his hood, and a gray goblin face was revealed. His ash-colored eyes were filled with astuteness and a hint of shock.

”Nice to meet you. Iʼm the Society Killer; you can call me Ten.” He bowed towards Jacobʼs polity.

It was Jacobʼs first encounter with a peak epic rank goblin, and he was far from normal because he could sense this guy was very close to the unique rank and awakened his spirit glyph. He even saw a vague outline on his skull when he opened his eyes of judge.

”Jack.” Jacob nodded in acknowledgment.

At this moment, the Society Killer, Ten, didnʼt even notice a black streak vanishing into his pointy ear.

Ten smiled, revealing his sharp teeth, ”I hope you wonʼt take any offense. You see, Iʼm just a weak researcher and very afraid of dying, and I wonʼt trust anyone so easily. I hope you understand it better than anyone. Still, I never expected you would see through my puppet art so easily. You are really not easy to mess with.”

His ash-colored eyes shimmered in a deep light as he looked at the towering Jacob.

”Oh, an invisible force is trying to invade your mind. Should I burn him? I promise itʼll hurt very much!” Nyxʼs surprised voice sounded. She was extremely sensitive to mind attacks and Jacobʼs defense against them.

Jacobʼs eyes went cold, ”Heʼs trying to use those puppet arts on me? I guess you canʼt trust a goblin, no matter what. No worries, itʼs not like I have pure intentions either. Just keep blocking it, and donʼt retaliate; it will be over very soon. He might have some other tricks to preserve his life, like the teleportation talisman. Iʼm too lazy to find his corpse.” He ordered Nyx.

”Just like you, Iʼm also someone who is afraid of dying. So, I wonʼt take offense. Letʼs head back and discuss our plan for departure. I want to hear your opinion.”

Jacob nodded before he turned around, and Ten followed behind with his eyes still shimmering brightly!
