Cursed Immortality

Chapter 35 You’re A Devil!

On this day,

Outside the hidden cave room, just below the stone ladder leading to the outside forest, Jacob could be seen assembling a metal structure made with different scrap parts.

There was a large container with a lid with a slim long-twisted metal tube attached to it, and another container connected to the other end of this metal tube.

Furthermore, there was a large collection of different dry woods on the other side.

Jacob was naturally prepared to collect his first heart essence with a distillation process described by cursed immortality.

Although his crude self-created equipment for the distillation process canʼt be compared with the modern technology of his world, they were enough to serve their purpose.

As for who was going to become his first target for heart and blood, it will Decker.

Firstly, Jacob had a deep grudge against Decker for what he did. Second, Decker was from a rare race, which makes his heart essence more potent than any uncommon specie.

Third, he didnʼt know just what animals resided in this vast mountain range, and he didnʼt feel secure going out hunting while constantly being afraid of his hunger and the unknown when he had a source beside him.

Fourth, he knows as long as his body can become strong enough to sustain his heart, heʼll get superhuman strength, and by taking this first step, heʼll get stronger.

Lastly, the resources in Deckerʼs hideout were limited, and Decker was no longer useful besides his information value, and he was only burning those precious color liquids, so it was best to get rid of him.

Furthermore, Jacob didnʼt want to torture Decker anymore. He was afraid Decker might lose his nutritional value.

As for his intricacy with killing, Jacob had long prepared himself for this since he couldnʼt live without killing in this world which was just too damn cruel, and if he still didnʼt use his ʼinner talent,ʼ he could just forget about living here and obtain immortality!

After Jacob made crude distillation equipment with the change of a furnace-type reboiler since he needed at least 1000 Celsius.

Deckerʼs secret hideout was a lab, and he found some equipment he could use to make this crude setup easily there, which saved him from a lot of trouble.

After making sure that it was airtight and testing it once, he nodded in satisfaction before making his way back toward where Decker was held.

”My hunger is becoming worse and worse, and I only have two or three days before it reaches its peak. I need to start today.” Jacob mumbled as he opened the door of the secret room.

There wasnʼt any change in the room. Only the table had been modified.

There were two holes on each side of the tableʼs center edges, they were connected with another two metal tubes, and two containers were below them.

Furthermore, deep carvings on the table edges formed a pathway leading to the two holds.

Jacob had carefully crafted this table to collect flowing blood without wasting it. His forging skills and advanced knowledge were coming in handy.

Besides the table, there wasnʼt any change here. Decker had been floating in green liquid for a week now, and Pig Head as well after collecting all those woods.

Jacob stood in front of Deckerʼs glass cell and calmly looked at him for a long time as if he was readying himself for what he was about to do.

ʼSigh…ʼ

Jacob sighed softly before he emptied the glass cell, and dripping Decker appeared.

”Do you know what Iʼm about to do?” Jacob coolly asked as he had unrestrained Deckerʼs mouth.

”Heh, does it matter?” Decker sneered coldly.

Although he didnʼt know what Jacob was about to do with him this time, he was ready for anything.

”Youʼre an annoying bastard, do you know that?” Jacob scoffed. ”Follow me and lay down to your favorite table where you killed lord knows how many.”

Decker coldly chucked as he followed Jacobʼs lead and slowly lay down at the center of the new table with lots of deep cravings.

”What, are you finally going to torture me? Just donʼt disappoint me.” Decker coolly said as he showed his beastly teeth.

Jacob chuckled coldly, ”As much as I want to, it might damage my premium quality rare meat, so youʼre going off easily.”

Deckerʼs expression finally changed as he said with disbelief, ”You want to… eat me?!”

Jacob coolly replied, ”Well, itʼs not like I have any other choice, besides I had read in Rare and Rarer Beast Encyclopedia that rare Goblin Wolf is quite a delicacy on the mainland, and itʼs directly related to your goblin race, so it made me quite curious about what an Imp Goblin taste like?”

Decker felt a chill run down his spine as Jacobʼs voice sounded like the devil, ”You bastard dare to compare me with livestock?! Are you not afraid of retribution after thinking about eating an intelligent life form?! Even I wonʼt stoop to such a level!”

Jacob merely chucked and said, ”I already said I have no choice now. Either I eat you or risk my life out there and even die from hunger. Besides, as long as itʼs not a fellow human. In my eyes, you are an intelligent camel that can be slaughtered in need of water or its meat.”

Decker felt Jacobʼs voice was exempt from any emotions and suddenly felt a cold sensation gripping his wrist as Jacobʼs devil-like voice sounded again,

”Although I never killed any human in my life before, it doesnʼt mean I never slaughter animals to suppress my urge to kill. Donʼt worry. Youʼll die of blood loss without any pain or suffering.”

Jacob slightly rubbed Deckerʼs wrists with a strange, twisted smile on his face.

”I know every signal nerve in the human body, and your body isnʼt much different from a human as well. Itʼs just that I donʼt know if I would become addicted to it… oh well, I donʼt care anymore…”

Just as Jacobʼs icy voice faded, he picked up the scalpel-like knife he had ready beforehand.

”Youʼll die like me… youʼll be eaten alive in these mountains… not even your bones will be left…” Decker started to curse manically, as he couldnʼt resist or move his body.

Although Decker wasnʼt afraid of death, he was afraid of being eaten by his enemy. Just the thought of it gave him endless nauseous and hate. He never thought Jacob would be so cruel.

Jacob said with a hint of mockery, ”This is the exact reason Iʼm doing it, and you can only blame yourself for this. As for being eaten alive by others, I donʼt know about that, but you, on the hand, will be going to turn into a nice stew tonight.”

Jacob carefully made a deep cut on Deckerʼs wrist as red blood gushed out and placed it right above the hole.

As Jacob made the cut, knowing that he was about to kill Decker, he felt a delightful chill over his body, making his fine hair stand and tremble in excitement as he breathed heavily.

”Donʼt move!”

Jacob said as he saw Decker was again trying to struggle, but he didnʼt care since, at any rate, heʼll die today in this way or another.

He moved toward Deckerʼs other wrist and again made another deep cut on his wrist and placed it carefully on the hole. He looked exactly like a serial killer who had done this before many times with an exact, twisted, satisfied smile on his face.

”Bastard, youʼll never escape the retribution. One day, someone else will do even worse to you…”

Decker continued to curse as he felt his body and mind going numb. He knew today was the day heʼll die and become someoneʼs dinner, which made him resentful. But alas, there wasnʼt anything he could do.

Jacob completely ignored Deckerʼs curses and calmly sat on the chair as he looked at Deckerʼs flowing blood in the container with a hint of elation.

Little by little, the containers started to fill with Deckerʼs blood, and Deckerʼs voice was becoming vaguer and vaguer.

After ten minutes, Decker was on the verge of losing consciousness as he kept mumbling.

”Y… Y-youʼre… a… devil…”

A minute passed, and Deckerʼs voice completely faded at this moment as his blood flow was also slowing down a lot.

Jacob finally closed his eyes as he remembered those last words of Decker and felt deep satisfaction after knowing he had killed his most hated enemy with his hand.

Jacobʼs eyes finally opened, and the darkness in them had completely faded away, and he exhaled. ”Just as I thought, I felt nothing but excitement while killing him, and I already want to experience it again. If I continue, I can never stop myself…”

Jacob smiled coldly the very next moment, ”Anything to achieve my goal… now itʼs time to put you out of your misery.”

Jacob stood up again, and this time, he slit Deckerʼs throat without hesitation, and more blood flowed on the table, making its way towards those two openings.

With this, Decker, the first person Jacob saw after reincarnating, was finally dead at Jacobʼs hands!
