CURSED IMMORTALITY - Season 4 Episode 22

Jacob patiently observed the Brain Hunter’s actions.

For three or five minutes, the Gnome was blabbering incomprehensible words and broken speech. However, after five minutes, its speech started to become more comprehensible, and after only fifteen minutes, it was peaking like a native speaker.

Jacob was really shocked at its ability to comprehend the speech, and when the Gnome suddenly stopped blabbering and stair dead at his face, Jacob’s eyes narrowed.

The Gnome, or more precisely the Brian Hunter, uttered emotionlessly, “Brain analyzation has been complete. I have all the life memories of this goblin name, Fredial.

“According to this memory set, the feeling I have toward you is known as loyalty and undying trust. Yet my memory set told me I should not have such feelings for anyone except the Demiurge.

“Can you please clear this conflicted feeling of mine? Again, I feel like I should ask you and follow your instructions.”

Jacob’s eyes winded behind his masked in trepidation and astonishment when he heard all that robot-like talking from the Brain Hunter. He almost reverser summoned it when he heard about part of this Demiurge.

“So, you can annex all the life memories of someone? How does that’s work?” Jacob was more concerned about this peculiar revelation than answering the last question, as this ability was simply too terrifying to be true.

“I can feel I can trust you with this secret information in my memory personal set. Affirmative! I have an ability called Brain Analysis which can help me gain all the life memories of anyone’s brain.

“Then this ability is branched into two more effects, Memory Bank, which allows me to stow infinite numbers of Memory Sets.

“And Memory Mimic, which allows me to mimic the memory set according to how the original owner should to the very perfection in anybody I control. Including its profession, abilities in case my controlled body is capable of performing those abilities as well, fighting experience, and such.

“The only drawback is the Brain Analysis will directly kill the host once it was used, and second, the brain has to be a living brain if the body’s owner died even a second ago. This ability is useless.” Brain Hunter explained stoically.

Jacob was now feeling really glad he didn’t nurture this monster into Rare Rank, or he might not even know how he died once this guy got his hand on some extremely powerful body and its memories.

Just this Brain Analysis ability is enough to make Brain Hunter absolutely horrified as it could gain access to any secret and infiltrate anywhere with this ability alone despite its drawback.

Even Jacob might take any risk to have this type of ability.

Still, although Jacob couldn’t have such an ability, the owner of this unique ability was his enteral slave, so it was akin to having this ability himself. Just a thought about what he could do with it made his blood boil, and he felt it was worth every risk he took to make brain hunter fully submit to him.

Hiding his ecstasy, he nodded and questioned again, “What other memories do you have?”

“I have memories from the point when I was awake in your hand a few hours ago and our small interaction.” Brian Hunter replied.

‘So, he didn’t remember anything before he turned into my Eternal Salve, and he also didn’t seem to know his true connection with me?’ Jacob’s eyes shimmered in understanding, and this development was in his favor.

So, he quickly asked something else, “So, what other abilities do you have?”

Brain Hunter again replied like an answering machine, “Including Brain Analysis, I have Puppet Possession Ability which can help me control bodies to perfection as long as they are killed through my Brain Analysis.

“My third bloodline ability is called Brain Devourer, which is a pensive ability I cannot stop or have any control over because Brain Devourer is directly connected with my growth and evolution path. This ability will automatically become active once I use the Brain Analysis and Puppet Possession.

“Once the Brain Devourer is active, it will channel all the magic force, life force, and biological essence present in my possessed Puppet into my body, which will increase my own power and help me grow further.

“However, as a side effect, that body would start to rot like a corpse from the inside out. The more powerful the body I control, the longer time my Brain Devourer would take to digest it fully.

“Except for these three bloodline abilities, I have my Puppet Poison Magic which can not only help me in multiple ways while I infiltrate someone’s body. But it can also turn anyone below Epic Rank into my puppets which I can remotely control within my five-hundred-meter range.

“But to activate the Puppet Poison Magic, the puppet needed to be directly bitten by me, and I have to inject poison in them the same way. I can’t do it remotely, nor my Puppet Poison can be harvested, or it would instantly lose effect within one second.

“The successfully created Magic Puppet can’t leave 500 meters radius perimeter, or it will become free from my puppet poison magic in sixty minutes or once it becomes a full rank more powerful than me. Lastly, in Star Rank, I can only have 3 Magic Puppets of Star Rank.

“This is all the abilities I currently have.” Brain Hunter statically said with a deadpan expression.

Jacob was deep in thought at this moment with clear astonishment in his eyes, ‘All the Brain Hunter’s bloodline abilities are interlinked with Brain Analysis, and they all had strange limitations despite their ridiculous effects. The same goes for its Puppet Poison Magic. It’s as powerful and dangerous as it is easy to break free from. Is this the reason why a Fantastic Insect had never been able to reach the Legendary Rank?’

Although there were limitations which he was expecting anyway after Immortika told him about the Universal Limitations of the Fantastic Insects.

But even with these limitations, it was still too dangerous!
