Cursed Immortality

When the magic weapon list appeared, Jacob was astonished as he saw all kinds of cold weapons with magic states.

ʼ…

ʼ…

ʼ9-Star Fire Magic Bullet Cost: 10,000 ZC per bulletʼ

Jacob was flabbergasted when he saw a gun among the magic weapons, and when he saw the details, he was even more astonished.

ʼI have no clue that there was this type of gun out there which could condense magic bullets. Furthermore, this advance-type-1 gun had only a specific element that it could channel, unlike those cold weapons, which can channel every rare element.

ʼSo, to speak, magic weapons are also made with specific elements as well as they are all rounded. But for projectile weapons like guns, it seemed all-rounded element magic quality couldnʼt be achieved in type-1 rank.

ʼI need to learn more about these things, especially magic, and get familiar with the technology. This shop is my best shot at achieving this without getting myself affiliated with anyone….ʼ

Jacobʼs eyes shone as he started looking for a suitable weapon for himself. He didnʼt have the magic power to condense magic bullets nor the capital to buy artificial bullets, so he didnʼt go for any projectile weapon.

The cold weapons were his best shot since they could also be used without magic power, and when he had the magic power, he could fully bring out their potential. He had already seen and experienced just how deadly a magic weapon being used with magic power is in his fight with Wight Minister.

There were even magic resistance armors in this shop which also drew his attention, but he was confident in making something like that with the Wyvern hide he kept for himself.

In the end, Jacob stopped at a point as his eyes shimmered while looking at the item on the list.

ʼMagic Weapon: Doom Assassin Short Swords (Pair) (Advance-Type-1)

ʼMagic Qualities: 9-Star Mana Channeling of All Basic and Rare Elements. Mild Stealth Effect if used with Dark Element.

ʼCost: 1,500,000 ZC

ʼSheaths Cost: 20,000 ZCʼ

Jacob looked at the pair of short swords with dark gray blades and black hilts with a crystal skull at their bottoms.

Without hesitation, he said, ”I want to use my free weapon chance on Doom Assassin Short Swords!”

”You have active One Free Type-1 Advance Weapon privilege!” SAAIʼs emotionlessly declared.

Thereafter, a pair of exquisite short swords were delivered.

Jacob took the sword, and he was astonished because they were not light but heavy, probably over 1-ton. The dark gray blades were one meter long, and two inches wide as a strange pattern was engraved on the blades giving the feeling of icy sharpness.

ʼOnce Iʼm done modifying the hilt, theyʼll be perfect for using my Deceptive Swords Style. No wonder that guy could send me flying, and his strikes were so heavy. His sword should also be quite heavy and on the same rank as this pair.ʼ

A hint of regret flashed past Jacobʼs eyes when he understood just how precious that sword wouldʼve been. He couldʼve sold it for a steep price if he had just picked it up!

Nevertheless, this feeling was only fleeting as he stowed away the pair of new swords.

Jacob then closed the weapon list without hesitation since he didnʼt need to spend his money on the magic weapons which he couldnʼt use, and he could make mech weapons. He would like to spend his money on the things he was in grave need of.

The first thing he bought was a Type-1 Universal Magic Manual which had every basic and rare element detail about magic and magic spells, costing him 250,000 ZC!

But Jacob didnʼt feel the pinch since he knew such a manual might not be available outside or even cost more.

Then Jacob also bought a manual related to Magic Weapon Crafting for 100,000 ZC and two encyclopedias called Universal Magical Materials (Type-1) and Universal Beings [Living & Dead] (Type-1), so he wonʼt be ignorant about what he was dealing with, and unknowingly charges right into his death like in the dark ruins!

All these things were virtual, so his pendant space was still empty.

So, after he was done with the knowledge, he started to search for materials for his next big project and new titan sniper. The titan iron in this shop was of the highest quality. One couldnʼt be found in the rare plains, and it was much cheaper than from the outside, not to mention an immense amount.

There were other materials he wasnʼt familiar with, but they were even more expensive than advance-type-1 titan iron, like ice crystal steal, which cost 100 ZC for 1 gram, or bloodstone ore which cost 500 ZC for 1 gram. In comparison, the titan iron was 20 ZC for 1 gram only!

Jacob thought for a moment before he bought 20 KG of titan iron and a small quantity of ice crystal steal.

Lastly, he bought something he knew he wouldnʼt find anywhere, or others might not even sell it to him if they knew what kind of things they were…

In the end, Jacob was only left with 590 ZC, but he had this satisfied look in his eyes as he said, ”Iʼm done!”

SAAIʼs emotionless voice rang, ”Faceless Ancient has decided to leave the champion space on the date XXX and time XXX!”

The next moment a dark hole appeared, which was the size of a door, and Jacob knew it was his cue, so he didnʼt dwindle and entered the passage as he couldnʼt be more familiar with it already.

After he left, the dark hole closed.

SAAIʼs static voice rang again, ”Information of the Type-1 Plain Sole Champion has been released to the Life Faction Mainframe!”

Far away from the Rare Plain,

Two giant black flames suddenly ignited inside a mysterious space filled with crimson mist. They gave feelings of maliciousness and terror, and a dark projection appeared suddenly thereafter.

A ghostly being been kneeling as it said in its spooky voice, ”The Rare Plains trial had been clear, my Liege, and somehow the Life Faction had claimed the victory by clearing the trial in less than a year!”

The black fire flickered brightly as the crimson mist around started to churn.

A corporeal voice with a mixture of male and female sounded, ”Appoint a new overseer and get rid of the old one. Sent 7,000 Extraordinary Zombies, 1,000 Half-Lich, 1,000 Half-Wight, 500 Lich, and 500 Wight!”

The ghostly being was shocked as it hesitantly said, ”My Liege, wonʼt it be meaningless now that those ants can freely enter there in mass? The next trial is about to descend, and we could use those 10,000 soldiers to create an advantage. Therefore, we should just abandon those useless fools!”

As the black fire slowly started to die with the crimson mist, the voice said, ”It would only make those pests stronger if we werenʼt there to keep them in check, and the same goes the other way around. This force will be enough to occupy them, and those pests wonʼt dare to shift their focus because the trial is about to descend.”

The ghostly being remained silent for a moment before respectfully saying, ”I shall do as you bid, My Liege!”

In another palace, inside a large bright room filled with gentle light, an otherworldly beauty was sitting around a table as she looked at the three-small projection in front of her with a peaceful expression.

”I assumed you three had received the news already?” The woman impassively said in her melodious voice.

”Yes, I was just contacted by the overseer, and it is out of everyoneʼs expectation.” A man in blue robes in one of the projections sighed.

”Indeed, who wouldʼve thought those idiots would be able to clear a trial in the span of over seven short months? If I didnʼt know them better, I wouldʼve thought they were playing us for fools.” A burly man in red armor chuckled.

”Heh, it is quite clear whoever was behind it; those four idiots have no idea about it since the champion didnʼt use the life zone protection nor the limit breaker. So, we can assume he had no belonging to the rare plains.” A gentle-looking male sneered coldly.

The woman impassively said, ”From my resources, it appeared that person had killed an Extraordinary-Tier-6 Wight to claim the final shackle. That person might be of some help to our trial here if it could clear the rare plains trial in less than a year.

”Thatʼs why I want to use our three-organization authority to buy its information from the SAAI!”
