CURSED IMMORTALITY - Season 4 Episode 4

After the three got a few feet away, she finally activated it and poured blue magic energy into the disc. It suddenly shimmered in a blue hue, and almost instantly, it started to float in front of Water Wave!

The gray disc now shimmered in a blue hue under Water Wave’s water element magic energy.

Hallberg muttered while looking at the disc with shining eyes, “How fascinating.”

Water Wave then tried to control it, and she was shocked when she found that just as he willed to move it below with her magic, the disc seemed to react to her thought and shimmered faintly before it slowly descended toward her feet and only stopped when it was only an inch away from her touching the ground.

She then couldn’t help but glance at Jacob with a strange glint in her eyes, and when she saw he was as dismissive as before, coldness surfaced in her heart.

“You shouldn’t keep Lord Dark Earl waiting.” It was Stone Hammer who said coldly at this moment. His words contained a strange type of warning in them while he looked at her meaningfully.

‘Don’t do anything stupid…’

This is what he wanted to convey, but it was unknown if Water Wave got it or not.

She inhaled sharply before she stepped on the disc, and she was even more astonished when she found that the disc remained completely stable as it didn’t even flinch under her weight.

Then something fascinating happened, the blue hue on the disc suddenly started to rise and covered Water Wave’s feet, and she instantly felt that her feet seemed to have embedded in the disc as she couldn’t even flinch them.

But it didn’t end there as she felt more magic power suddenly start to enter the disc as if it was out of her control, and that blue hue kept rising over her body until it completely encased her within.

Under everyone’s scrutinous eyes, the moment the blue hue encased her entirely, she suddenly vanished!

Jacob, who was watching this, thought grimly, ‘So, these things also have stealth function, and even I can’t sense her anymore. Moreover, this thing seemed to be extremely precious, and I just gave it away as a gift.

‘But I can’t use it anyway, and it was worth the reconnaissance provided by these guys as well as now Hallberg would think I have a terrifying backing since I can bring out this kind of thing as a mere gift. Things are still in my favor.

‘The only problem is I just got to know the Killer Skull Society has these kinds of terrifying weapons at their disposal, and I just happened to piss them off enough that they are now unleashing them on me!’

The more he thought about how he almost got killed, the more he felt he was still not out of the wood.

At this moment, Hallberg couldn’t contain his curiosity and yelled, “Alright, I’ve seen enough, and it’s clearly safe. Now hand it over. It’s my turn.”

He was really alarmed by the stealth effect of that disc, and as an alchemist himself, he knew that treasure could probably be rivaled by type-2 treasures. When he thought about how Jacob gave away such a precious gift, he felt even more alarmed by Jacob’s unknown means.

‘Just who is he, and how the hell can he have this kind of weapon at his disposal? Is he got this from the rumored champion shop, or he found some ancient ruin? He might have a mysterious background that no one is aware of.

‘Whichever the case is, he’s worth having as a friend than an enemy. If he had another this kind of disc, then I’m afraid he’s invincible in the rare plains, and maybe this is the secret behind the massacre over a week ago…’

The more Hallberg thought this way, the more he felt he was right and felt even more respectful and apprehensive of the man standing beside him.

He was now sure that if Jacob wanted him dead, there was nothing that could stop him from doing not even his city’s best combatants. So it was meaningless to keep testing him since it might just ruin everything if they got on Jacob’s nerves.

“Why aren’t you deactivating the disc?” He frowned when he saw Water Wave still didn’t appear despite his command.

Stone Hammer felt something amiss when Water Wave still didn’t appear, and he looked at Jacob and coldly asked, “Can that thing really be turned off?”

Jacob gave him an impassive answer, “Since it can turn on, it can naturally turn off. It’s all come down to the person who is riding over it.”

However, he wasn’t sure about this either, but he won’t admit it and continued to observe without showing his true intentions.

This answer, however, made both Stone Hammer and Hallberg thought of other possibilities, and their expression started to cloud.

“She dared to bugger off with it?” Hallberg couldn’t help but say it out loud with disbelief.

“No, it’s not possible. We both know her. She’s a rational person, and besides, if she dared to rob you in broad daylight, the Dark City would not let her off. She will lose everything she accumulated in her entire life for a mere treasure. It’s not worth it.” Stone Hammer tried to defend Water Wave as he had known her for decades.

But when he thought about something, he glanced at Jacob and couldn’t help but feel his blood run cold, ‘No, no, she won’t do it…’

Just as he was giving himself a false sense of security, he suddenly felt death looming from his racial battle instinct, but this feeling only lasted for a mere moment before it vanished.

Still, his entire body was frozen on the spot despite knowing that terrifying feeling was gone, and this was also evident that he didn’t feel wrong at all. He just felt death was imminent, but then it disappeared.

But he clearly felt the source of it, and when he shakily turned his head towards it, he was horrified when he saw Jacob was now clenching air with one hand.

Jacob’s deadly cold voice sounded at this moment as he looked in the air, “Are you seeking death?”
