CURSED IMMORTALITY - Season 4 Episode 41

Four days later, after awakening from his slumber in the mysterious mine, Jacob stepped out from the tunnel hidden within the poison mist.

As for why it took him four more days to exit the place, it was, of course, because he was extracting the plutonium from the other side of the mine. He naturally won’t leave without that plutonium since he was here for it in the first place.

Although the amount of plutonium wasn’t as much as he was expecting it to be, but it wasn’t small either. He got around over 3 tons of it, and Jacob knew it was enough to last him for a long time, and he would be able to create many of his deadly inventions.

The biggest gain in this entire trip was naturally the Cursed Path Glory Gem as well as the Mysterious Book, and plutonium seemed nothing but dust in front of those two things.

Furthermore, Jacob discovered another thing after he checked his Star Watch, he had seemed unconscious for 20 days straight, and after all the time he took to get here and extract the plutonium, he only got around 25 more days before he had to meet with Hallberg.

Now that he acquired the ability to use magic, he wasn’t in a hurry to analyze the Art of Nature, but this didn’t mean he had given up on practicing that mysterious exercise.

Because after acquiring the Hex Magic Core, he checked his element affinity with the element aptitude scale application and found that an unknown element with an unknown percentage had been added to that report, but his water affinity was still there.

So, he has no reason to give up on the Art of Nature, and he will continue with it. But right at this moment, he wasn’t that desperate and wanted to get familiar with his Hex Magic Core and how it would operate. Most importantly, he wanted to raise its rank.

The Common Rank was nothing but an ant in his eyes, and he might not get another chance like this to increase its rank quickly like the Rare Plains.

Jacob’s eyes shimmered with ecstasy at this moment as a gray disc appeared in his hand, ‘Now that I have mana, I should be able to ride this thing. But I have to be careful of this mental attack. Let me see if the mental attack of this disc is bearable, I might be able to ride it. It would make it very easy to do what I’m about to do. If it really affects my mind, then I can only give up. But I have to try this once!’

Jacob then tries to pour Hex Mana into the gray disc despite only having about 19% available. He wanted to try this no matter what.

The moment his man came in contact with the disc, it reacted instantly, and Jacob felt a strange connection forming with this disc as his mana was getting sucked into it.

It was a strange feeling as he could control it with his mind, and just as he thought, the disc floated from his hand and then slowly floated down toward his feet. His eyes shimmered in excitement as he was controlling that disc with his thought while his mana was continuing to be used.

Furthermore, Jacob noticed that no mental attack or any kind of pain affected his mind at all, and he was completely sane, at least for now.

Uncertain but elated, he stepped over the disc as he had watched Autarch fly on it for a while and wanted to try it himself. His feet instantly locked on the disc-smooth surface with his mana.

With gleaming eyes, Jacob commanded the disc to float upward, and it followed his lead and started to rise up in the sky.

“So, this is how it feels to use magic! How wonderful!” Jacob muttered as he was really enjoying it and seemed to become instantly addicted to this feeling.

But he had little Mana right now, but he knew how to replenish it, so without wasting more time, Jacob moved at full speed ahead while he vanished without a trace.

He now moved toward the Magic Beast Forest, and his target was none other than the marching undead army!

Three days later, the massive Dark Being Army, probably in millions, suddenly met with a very strange problem at their rare.

Normally the Common and Rare Rank Dark Beings marched in orderly factions behind their Extraordinarily Dark Being superiors in units of 25,000 (15,000 Common-Rank and 10,000 Rare-Rank in one Unit) per Extraordinary Dark Being Commander.

Then those Extraordinary Commanders followed the 1,000 Dark Knights, who were at the peak of Extraordinary Rank and were very close to evolving into either Lich or Weight. Each Dark Knight commands 1,000 Extraordinary Commanders.

Those Dark Knights were the most deadly trump cards of the Dark Being Army and only followed or listened to the Lich King’s orders.

Beside the Lich King were his most trusted advisors, 9 Weigh Minsters, and 9 Lich Ministers. The number of the ministers used to be 20, but after Jacob killed the Weight Minster and Lich King killed the other Lich Minister himself in his fury, only 18 remained.

This was the entire force of the Wild Nation which means the Lich King left no one behind to guard his nation at all, which was truly strange.

As for the problem at the rare, someone was killing the Rare Rank Dark Beings in mass, and that person, or whatever it was, it couldn’t be seen or detectable!

In these three days, over 30,000 Rare Rank Dark Beings were killed, and most of the time, the killer only took their magic cores.

The Dark Beings might’ve taken it as an enemy attack on a full scale, but the problem was the killer was only killing the Dark Being of Rare Ranks, not even touching the Common Rank or the Extraordinary Rank Dark Beings.

This entire situation created chaos, and the march had to be stopped until they sorted out this strange situation. All the commanders of the Dark Beings were on high alert and started searching for the assailant even the Lich King was vigilant!

However, even on the fifth day, the assailant was still in the wind, but the attacks have become more frequent, not to mention terrifying!
