Cursed Immortality

Chapter 730: Exposed without Knowing!

It was the third day since the invading locust army and Locust Annihilation Army started clashing, and the result was an eerie suffocation of death that covered the entire conflict plains.

The locust army seemed endless, and no matter how many the ingenious were up against it or how many they killed, they didnʼt show any signs of stopping or diminishing in the least bit.

The higher-ups of the conflict plain quickly demanded a safe retreat from their superiors because they knew it was a suicide mission, and they didnʼt want to die. However, to their horror, they were given absolute order to continue fighting the locust army, and if they deserted, theyʼd be put on trial and punished by death.

How could those from the territory listen to their demands? After all, the treaty had given them a clear warning that if they didnʼt want to personally be on the front line with their families and clans, they had to make sure the others wouldnʼt leave.

After experiencing the power of the locust army and observing the extremely powerful locusts patrolling around the fog island, they knew that even if they gathered together, they wouldnʼt be able to take down the enemy headquarters. So, they wanted to do everything in their power to avoid being dragged into this mess.

Furthermore, the treaty had already promised them a spot in the Path of Legend, and they seemed to have discovered the key as well, which greatly motivated the factionsʼ leaders and gave them reason to look the other way.

The treaty played their cards well, and despite the raging criticism all over the star network, the three factions didnʼt respond at all, as if they were blind and deaf.

At this moment, Jacob was looking at hundreds of runic containers, and each container, despite being only a meter in diameter, contained 5,000 litters of blood!

One could only imagine just what kind of bloodshed was taking place in the conflict plains, even at this moment when Diminutive was delivering the blood containers to Jacob.

Jacob looked at Diminutive and Veronica standing beside him. Both were wearing cloaks, and Jacob was also hiding his face.

”For both of our sakes, I hope you didnʼt play any tricks.” Jacob nonchalantly chuckled as if he was making a joke, but his eyes started to glow as he looked at Diminutive closely.

Diminutive quickly replied in a candid tone, ”Your excellency sure like to jest. Itʼs a mutual partnership between us, and we are both benefiting from it, so I wonʼt dare to mess this up. If you like, you can check them.”

Jacobʼs eyes returned to normal, and his lips curled up in an icy smile behind his mask. He had already gotten the answer.

”Then Iʼm glad. Now, if you excuse me, Iʼll be in seclusion for some time. Oh, and I have something to discuss with Miss Veronica. Give us a moment,” Jacob casually stated.

Diminutiveʼs eyes narrowed slightly, but he didnʼt show it in his reaction and chuckled, ”Of course, take your time, Iʼll be right outside if you need anything please donʼt hesitate to call for me.”

After sending Veronica a secret message, Diminutive quickly left them alone.

Once Veronica was alone with Jacob, she looked towards Jacob with expectancy as her impassive expression was no longer there. She knew Jacob was about to respond to the secret deal she proposed.

Jacob could sense Veronicaʼs high expectations as he directly addressed them, ”Miss Veronica, I have thought about your plight, and Iʼm willing to go with your plan. However, Iʼll be the one to decide when to execute that plan. If youʼre good with it, then you may leave. Iʼve already known how to contact you.”

Veronicaʼs eyes shimmered with elation when she heard Jacob agree to her proposal, and she quickly nodded in agreement with Jacobʼs arrangements. She had no problem with Jacob taking the initiative. After all, she had waited for a very long time at this moment, and a little bit more waiting wasnʼt a big deal for her.

”Thank you. Iʼll wait for your reply.” Veronica calmly stated before she quickly left. She didnʼt want to draw Diminutiveʼs suspension by staying too long with Jacob.

Although she would have to tell him what they talked about, the contents of their talk were extremely ambiguous, and just like last time, even if Diminutive used his authority over her, The wouldnʼt be able to find anything.

Once Veronica left, Jacob finally shifted his attention to those blood containers and coldly sneered, ʼHe had done something to the blood. Even if heʼs a professional liar, before my eyes, heʼs nothing. But he didnʼt know that poison, curse, or any kind of toxin wouldnʼt work on me unless he used some legendary rank poison. Thatʼs why I had to be extremely careful...ʼ

The next moment, Jacob issued a command to Nyx,” Analyze those continuers and emulate them in dreamscape nightmare realm. Stimulate Diminutiveʼs original body as well. Weʼre going to conduct _some experiments.”

After Nyx evolved, the dreamscape nightmare realmʼs capabilities greatly strengthened. Nyx can now easily emulate a Quasi Legend Rank treasure or a person perfectly.

However, she can still not emulate anything related to cursed immortality or some treasures in his possession, like the Gluttony Mask and the book he found with the Curse Path Glory

Gem.

Nonetheless, Jacob wasnʼt flustered since the most important thing to him was the ability to have endless resources to conduct experiments, and this also gave him the ability to measure the strength and abilities of his enemies.

Although Diminutive was extremely secretive and hadnʼt shown anything, the moment Nyx infiltrated his dreamscape realm, his entire being exposed to Jacob, and now Jacob knew almost everything about him. He had to admit that the goblin was extremely cumbersome to deal with, especially with his ability to manipulate the space element.

Truthfully, Jacob wasnʼt confident in killing Diminutive with direct exchange because he could easily run away unless he could restrict the space abilities of a Quasi Legend, and he didnʼt have any way to do it except using his hexes.

But what shocked Jacob the most was Veronica. The moment he battled her, she killed him with a single exchange without his original abilities, even surprising Nyx. This happened ten times because Jacob figured out what was going on and how to counter her.

Thatʼs why Jacob was willing to help her since she was a perfect pawn with her uncanny abilities!
