Cursed Immortality-Novel



The journey from the Magic Beast Forest to the Freedom Plains was quite long, especially if someone didn't have a virtual map of the entire Rare Plains like Jacob.

With Autarch's special trait of never being tired as long as it has a fresh host body and Jacob's own unique endurance, they both didn't need to rest as they could continue to move.

Furthermore, Autarch could continue to replenish its mana with a magic core like a battery and maintain both the speed and altitude of the Bronze Disc. Right now, they were traveling over 1000 miles per hour speed, and despite that air current, none of them seemed bothered by it because Autarch was also using a mana barrier.

Meanwhile, Jacob, who had nothing better to do since he left the navigation part to Autarch, as he handed him the map scanner where the plutonium site's coordinates were recorded. He decided to go through all those books he found in A-0's ring as well as all the knowledge he got from all the storage rings he ever acquired in the Rare Plains.

Most of the books in A-0 space ring were about Nine-Star Magic Spells, or as a matter of fact, almost every book he acquired was about magic spells or some recipe that he wasn't interested in.

First, those magic spells were of random elements, and those recipes or knowledge were too ordinary in his eyes. However, he does remember anything related to the water element since he knew he would most likely awake it.

Because after his small section of the Water Meditation in the river, Jacob again performed the Element Aptitude Scale Test to see if his conjecture about the Art of Nature's hidden effect was right or wrong.

In the end, his Water Affinity surprisingly increased from 3% to 4.1% after only spending seven hours of water meditation. This burned away all of Jacob's doubt, and he knew he was on the right path.

But this only made him more frustrated since he couldn't see to find a calm and safe place to practice.

Nevertheless, Jacob didn't dwell on it since he knew now that the method was in his hand; he would not be going to walk in circles.

While browsing through those books, Jacob's discovered something surprising. He found two Magic Evolution Scriptures!

To his surprise, one of them was written in the language of the Dark Being, and it belonged to none other than the Wight Minister he killed in the Dark Ruins. His Space Ring was the first-ever space ring he acquired in the rare plains.

Furthermore, there were tons of knowledge in his space ring as well as life crystals which Jacob had no idea how he should use since they were true treasures for the Dark Being but not for the living, so he kept them to the side for now.

Anyhow, the magic scripture called Bloodlust Scripture of the Wight Minister was for the Dark Beings who have awakened the Dark Blood Magic Core.

Furthermore, to start practicing the Bloodlust Scripture, a Dark Being needed the fresh blood of the living beings. The blood quantity and quality will continue to increase as one reaches the higher level of the Dark Blood Magic Core until it reaches 9-Star.

Jacob then stowed this scripture away as he expects nothing less from the Dark Beings, and this method was virtually useless to him or for any living being, as a matter of fact, because these types of magic cores could only be awakened by the Dark Being, not the Livings.

This was a strange rule as the Dark Being also can't seem to awaken the element of light or healing and other special elements to the living as well. At least that's what the type-1 Universal Beings [Living & Dead] Book he bought from the champion space described it to be.

As for the Magic Evolution Scripture, he got from A-0. It was fascinating because it was Magic Evolution Scripture for a peculiar element, Illusion, and this was certainly an extremely rare element. Its limit was all the way up to the 1-Star Epic Magic Core!

This means with this Magic Evolution Scripture helps, anyone with an Illusion magic core would be able to evolve its magic core into epic rank, becoming a real epic being.

'It's a pity I can't take advantage of this rare Magic Evolution Scripture. Well, at least it will fetch quite a high price in the epic plains. I'm pretty sure those guys won't be as ignorant as the Rare Plains…' Jacob thought with curled lips before he stowed it away after remembering it as well.

Just like that, time passed, and one day later at night, Autarch and Jacob were flying in the starry sky under the dim crescent moon, and only the faint light from the stars were barely illuminating the surroundings.

"Sir might want to see this."

Autarch suddenly spoke at this moment, and he spoke for the first time since they started their travels.

Jacob, who was reading a very interesting 3-star water spell and continuing to expand his magical knowledge, suddenly looked up toward Autarch, drawn by his voice.

Then he finally looked down. First, everything appeared the same on dark night. The forest down below seemed like a dark trench.

However, with what Jacob was wearing, he could see quite clearly, even with his own natural sight was like a night vision.

What he saw made his eyes widen; the entire forest seemed to have come alive as it was crawling forward.

However, upon closer inspection, it was not the forest that was moving but thousands of skeletons and zombies!

This was the incoming Dark Being Army which was marching toward the Dark City while they were sweeping anything alive in their way, leaving nothing but wastelands.

Just watching them march through those lively trees and almost instantly making them dry and rotten in their way made Jacob's skin crawl.

Jacob's eyes then fall over the rider at the very front, who was riding a massive undead horse that has blue ghastly fire for its eyes. The rider was wearing pitch-black armor from head to toe and giving of appalled aura of death itself. It was the Lich King!

Right at this moment, the Lich King, who was riding at the very front of the Dark Being Army, suddenly moved its armored head upward!
