Cursed Immortality

Jacob was shocked to see the legendary wyvern at its full glory. The last Wyvern he had killed in the Dark Ruins of the Rare Plains Trial was sleeping, and according to Immortika, it was an infant at extraordinary rank!

But this Wyvern seemed to be very close to achieving adulthood. A Wyvern has four growth stages: Infant, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It was born extraordinary, became epic in childhood, reached unique in adolescence, and Fable Legendary in adulthood!

Moreover, it was the true descend of the Mythical Dragon!

Furthermore, Jacob had never expected that an adolescent Wyvern could also take humanoid form. Not only that, but it could learn martial arts and possess terrifying abilities.

Now Jacob finally understood why he thought that this Flame Calamity wasn't a giant and its special features were so different from a traditional giant. It revealed its true form only when he was about to kill Flame Calamity.

This kind of experience couldn't be experienced just anywhere. The Dark Battle Arena has really given Jacob many surprises.

Flame Calamity looked at Jacob with killing intent in its fiery eyes, "Are you a Mortal Giant?"

For the first time, it didn't speak with disdain but as an equal to Jacob. As someone invisible in the lesser galaxies, there weren't many opponents that could force him to the brink of death.

He had fought and killed many giants in his journey, so he was sure that Jacob's bloodline was at least equal to his own. The only giant race that could contend with the Wyvern Race was the Mortal Giant, which had the same life stages as the Wyvern Race.

The Mortal Giant race was blessed with terrifying physical prowess and combat ability, and they were very hard to kill. One of their most terrifying innate traits was the more they fought and pushed to the brink of death, the more powerful they became.

But this race was even rarer than the Wyvern Race because they didn't have high intelligence at birth, and only when they reached adolescence could they awaken their intellect.

That's why Flame Calamity thought that Jacob was a Mortal Giant since, in its eyes, no other race can contend against the Wyvern in physical strength and combat form.

However, it had seen the portrait of a Mortal Giant in an ancient script, so Flame Calamity was thinking that Jacob had altered his features to look like a normal giant.

Jacob was also surprised when he heard this question. Although he wasn't a mortal giant, he consumed its heart and awakened its terrifying physical trait, the Mortal Danger Sense!

This ability allows Jacob to sense life-threatening danger two seconds before its arrival. Although this wasn't much, it was an extremely useful ability in certain circumstances, and this was proof of the might of a mortal giant.

However, he didn't think even a Wyvern would consider a Mortal Giant an equal. This discovery was quite astounding.

Still, Jacob was now quite curious about this Wyvern as well, and now that he had ordered to plunder his dreamscape realm, he knew a massive boon was coming. This Wyvern was destined to die without even knowing why.

"What if I am?" Jacob questioned coldly.

Flame Calamity's eyes narrowed as he huffed, spitting flames from his nostrils, "Good, you are worthy of me fighting you with my full power. I've heard the Mortal Giants also have a Combat Form. So, I advised you to reveal your true form, or it'd be a pity if I killed you before I could experience the true prowess of a Mortal Giant's Combat Form."

Jacob's eyes narrowed slightly as this new information was quite shocking, 'It seemed I'm still nowhere near understanding the races of the Zodiac Plains…'

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Which galaxy do you belong to? Are there many like you?"

Flame Calamity replied, "Hmph since you're a worthy opponent that I've acknowledged, I'll answer you. I'm from the Lesser Grand Absolute Galaxy of Gemini's Unique Plains. The only Dark Prince of Dark City and strongest being, Flame Calamity!"

'So, the other lesser galaxies also seemed to have the same plains-type ranking, huh? Furthermore, this Dark Prince rank seemed to be above the Dark Duke, and according to my knowledge, there isn't any Dark Prince Rank Dark Noble in Lesser Grand Absolute Galaxy of Taurus.

'There only exists a Dark Duke, or there is a Dark Prince, and the Dark City is hiding its existence. If this dark prince rank dark noble is like this Flame Calamity, then I should be careful.' Jacob thought before he asked another question, "Do you know about the Path of Legend?"

This was the most important question he wanted the answer to, and since this was the true reason, he entered the Dark Battle Arena. Since this Flame Calamity was talking, he had to get the answer to this question or at least some clue.

But at this moment, Flame Calamity's eyes suddenly went wide when he heard Jacob's question and agitatedly asked, "The Path of Legend has been revealed in your galaxy?! Where are you from? And when was it discovered!? Did the key is in your hand!?"

Jacob was surprised by this sudden change in emotion and all those questions with many clues. One thing was clear: this Flame Calamity knew about the path of legend and seemed very agitated about it.

Jacob thought for a moment before he replied, "I can't tell where I'm from because of some personal reason. But I can tell you that the Path of Legend was revealed in our side's Unique Plains Trial almost a decade ago by someone else. According to my information, the Path of Legend will be revealed in a century. As for the key, we are still searching for it.

"If you have any information about this path of legend, I can trade with you in ZC if possible." He probed.

Flame Calamity's eyes widened even more, "This… it seemed that I have to enter the Unique Plains Trial as well. You have no idea just how huge this information is, and it's very important to me. If not for you, I'd have missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Since you gave me this precious information, as the member of the Dragon Race who always paid their debts, I'll tell you what I know about the path of legend, also known as the Road to Legendary Rank!"
