Cursed Immortality

Chapter 718: Establishing Might!

When they heard Jacobʼs leisurely conversation as if they were old friends, the Treaty members were somewhat speechless. However, before they could reply, they witnessed something shocking and eerie.

With a wave of his sleeve, the scattered purple blood started to churn and then flow towards Jacobʼs palm, which was covered in a black glove and started to gather in a sphere.

When all the blood gathered above his palm and the Ice Fiend Locustʼs corpse turned into nothing but a dry carcass, the blood suddenly vanished, and Jacob finally turned towards them while nonchalantly clapping his hands behind his back, waiting for their response.

Diminutive was the first to sputter out of his stupor, followed by Sylas and the others, but all of their reactions after witnessing that scene were similar: apprehension!

”Who are you, and did you do the same thing with the people of the Holy Mountain Range?” Sylas questioned, but his tone was no longer as confident as before.

He knew this person was extremely troublesome to deal with without their real bodies, and he had the upper hand as long as he was in the conflict plains, so hearing him out was the only

way.

Jacob looked at Sylas, and he knew he was a Faery Human. instead of replying, he coldly asked, ”Are you the Temple Pope Sebastian Edgar?”

Jacob hadnʼt seen Sebastianʼs appearance, but since this Faery Human was a Quasi Legend, he could only think of Sebastian, who was most likely of this rank. This made him even more confused since he never had thought that Sebastian was connected with the Queen Ice Fiend Locust.

As for holding a grudge against Sebastian for scheming against Adolph, he didnʼt have any since he wasnʼt Adolph, and as long as Sebastian gave him what he wanted, he didnʼt mind letting him live for now.

Sylas was surprised for a moment when Jacob mentioned Sebastianʼs name. He was doubtful about why Jacob was asking about his descendant and thought he might have some grudge against him.

Nonetheless, he still shook his head, denying it, and replied, ”No, Iʼm not Sebastian, but heʼs my descendant. Did he provoke you?”

ʼNow this is unexpected...ʼ Jacob was slightly surprised, but his expression was hidden as he subtly replied, ”Yeah, something like that. But there is nothing that canʼt be resolved by some compensation. However, before that, what do you think about my proposal? If you guys are unwilling, then there is nothing to discuss here.”

Jacob then suddenly looked towards Diminutive, who was standing behind everyone in silence. This made Diminutive flinch slightly, as he didnʼt expect Jacob to take notice of him. Jacob then speaks while looking at him, ”You should be the boss here, right, Lord Goblin?”

ʼHow did he know!?ʼ Diminutive, for the time in decades, was shocked by something to this extent. No one had ever been able to tell his identity because he could conceal his true prowess with soul force; it was even more impossible while he was using a soul puppet.

Yet this guy somehow easily guessed his identity as the Lord Goblin, which he didnʼt even know until he stumbled upon a fortuitous opportunity that changed his entire life.

Now, Jacob seemed even more unfathomable to him, and if he had been confident in going against him before, he wasnʼt anymore. In fact, he was even thinking of running away from this person because he could feel a sense of fear from him, which normally others felt from him.

However, the Treaty members were even more shocked when they heard this and looked collectively towards Diminutive with incredulous expressions. They knew this person shouldnʼt be teasing them by calling the weakest member of the treaty in charge of them. He was either playing with them, or there was something more to Diminutiveʼs identity they didnʼt know.

Furthermore, when Sylas and Samara considered it, they really hadnʼt seen Diminutiveʼs face or known about his race. All they knew was that he was a servant of the Queen and ran errands for her. Now, they started to wonder if this guy was hiding something.

Jacob also noticed the othersʼ strange reactions, and a peculiar glint flashed past his eyes before he nodded in understanding. ”So you were hiding your identity as a Cosmic Goblin from them, and the face about already awakening ʼthat,ʼ huh? A true example of a wolf in sheepʼs clothing. Well, forgive me for exposing you, but something tells me that you are the true manipulator behind these guys.

”So, what will it be? Are you going to make a deal with me or continue to stand against me? Or just run away now that you know Iʼm extremely dangerous? But before you choose, let me tell you what you can get from me if you make this deal in advance...”

Jacobʼs words were like knives that completely cut open Diminutiveʼs deception in front of everything, and the confident goblin was finally terrified when all of his secrets were exposed in a single breath. Just as Jacob stated, he was really planning on running away as he found Jacob extremely dangerous now, but he still stopped when he heard the last part.

The Treaty members were completely skeptical about this, and they felt even more fear of this person whom they had thought of as prey just a few moments ago. They knew they had unknowingly entered a tigerʼs den, and now this tiger was toying with him.

”Iʼm completely convinced and awed by your excellencyʼs foresight. I seek your forgiveness for my and my collegeʼs actions. As an apology, Iʼll sincerely hear your excellencyʼs offer, and as long as it is something we can do, weʼll accept it without any compensation in return.” Diminutive finally spoke in a solemn yet submissive tone.

Although he knew he had hit an iron wall this time, he was still glad his main body wasnʼt here; otherwise, he wouldʼve never been able to rest and mightʼve already started running. The Treaty members were shocked when Diminutive finally took charge, and they finally believed Jacobʼs words.

But they remained silent since this also meant they could leave this to Diminutive, and they didnʼt have to deal with this terrifying being personally.

”Hahaha, you really are a goblin. You should know I have a ʼsoftʼ spot for goblins.” Jacob laughed with an eerie coldness behind it, which sent chills down Diminutiveʼs spine for some

reason.

Jacob finally stopped laughing, and since he had already established his dominance and planted an image of an unfathomable existence in these Quasi Legends minds, he directly revealed his offer, which he knew they wouldnʼt be able to refuse no matter what.

Although it would be somewhat troublesome, he knew if he wanted to save time, he needed to use these guys. Even if they didnʼt agree, they wouldnʼt sit still and react in a way that was nothing but beneficial to him.

”If you agree to my conditions, Iʼll give you the location of the Legendary Key that everyone is searching for!”

Absolute silence descended in the area before sounds of ridged breathing could be heard!
