Cursed Immortality-Novel

Chapter 483 The Beast in Tower (1)

The ghastly roar reverberated in the entire underground ice city, startling everyone except for the zombies.

The snow monsters who were fighting with the zombie monsters started to howl crazily after they heard that roar. Their eyes went berserk, and their bodies started to bulge all of a sudden.

This sudden reaction startled the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke even more as those snow monsters became instantly strong and started to attack without caring about their own lives.

"Is this the guardian of this shackle, or I'm in the wrong place and reached the wrong conclusion?" He muttered with uncertainty and turned his attention back to Jacob and Charlotte, who seemed to have awakened this unknown monster, "Let those livestock confirm this for me. This is playing all in my favor."

On the other hand, Jacob and Charlotte, who were closer to that roar, were shocked as their hearts palpitated because the aura that was leaking from the opening was too terrifying.

Especially for Charlotte because she could tell that whatever was inside was even stronger than her father.

Jacob was solemn because he had once experienced the might of Captain Free Sword. Even though this monster didn't even come closer to the captain, he had a very bad feeling about this because this monster might not be an epic rank at all.

Charlotte quickly said, "Let's get the hell out of here. That thing is not something we can fight. I'm afraid that even an army might not be enough to take it down. Even if there is a shackle in that tower, you need to be alive to claim it!"

Jacob thought for a moment before he said coldly, "I'm going in. You should escape."

"You stubborn man, then die for your greed. I don't care!" Charlotte yelled in exasperation before running towards the northern wall. She couldn't understand why Jacob was so obsessed with this foolish shackle.

Even though she admired his courage, at this point, it was pure madness in her view, and she didn't want to be a part of it. She wasn't here to commit suicide out of curiosity.

Jacob didn't do anything as he watched the giant flee without a second thought. But this was just what he wanted because after she was gone, he could use his full arsenal without worrying about anyone.

Although the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke was still watching from somewhere, he wasn't worried about him because he couldn't figure out his identity. Because if Charlotte guessed who he was, then he would have to watch his back constantly, and he couldn't afford to divert his attention.

Using a hex on her will put him at an even greater disadvantage because he needs to replenish his hex mana, and the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke will be on guard.

That's why Charlotte leaving was the best outcome, and he also noticed that after that initial roar, the monster inside the tower went dormant again. Or it was simply not capable of breaking free from the tower.

While keeping this in mind, Jacob entered through the hole without making any sounds.

The inside of the tower was pitch black, but he still had his night vision. The tower was over 100 meters wide and fifty meters tall. But his eyes were affixed on the monstrosity sitting in the center.

It was another snow monster, but its size was over 20 meters while sitting and 15 meters wide. Its fur was not white; instead, it was blue, and two white antelope horns were tangled together.

Furthermore, its glowing crimson eyes were locked on Jacob the moment he came inside, and he was murderously looking at the tiny intruder with a hint of naked disdain. It was as if he was ridiculing its prey to walk on its own in his mouth.

The entire space was deadly silent as both of them gawked at each other without making any move.

But right at this moment, Jacob's heart churned when he felt a sudden movement right under his feet, and he instantly jumped to the side. The next moment, a gigantic ice spike emerged from where he stood.

Although he managed to avoid it, the pathway he came from was closed off, and at this moment, the monster's ghastly pale lips rose as it revealed its sharp fangs.

'This bastard was aiming to close my escape route!' Jacob coldly looked back as it became quite clear that this guy was extremely intelligent, and he seemed to be toying with him.

Furthermore, he didn't dare to use his hex magic because that monster wasn't an epic rank. The pressure it was giving despite doing nothing but sitting and frosty mana density wasn't something that an epic rank could emit.

Not to mention, he wasn't planning on taking that thing down with the hex magic since he had a more sufficient way to make sure that monster paid for underestimating him.

"Let me make it abundantly clear who is the actual prey among us," Jacob smirked coldly, and the next moment, a sniper rifle appeared in his hands.

However, unlike traditional rifles, this rifle had two muzzle barrels and two triggers like a double-barrel shotgun, and magic gems and runes were engraved on its black body. Thereafter, he instantly pulled both triggers while aiming at the monster's face!

The monster seemed to be provoked by Jacob's fearless attitude, but before he could react, a sense of crisis overcame him, and the two glowing bullets were right on his face!

But to Jacob's surprise, almost instantly, a neon blue light enshrouded the monster out of nowhere before the bullets could even touch its fur.

"Boooommmmm!"

A huge explosion that shook the entire tower rang before two sonic booms rang from the sniper rifle. The magic runes lit up on the rifle while two of the magic gems turned to dust, absorbing all the recoil.

However, Jacob didn't care because a blurry punch was approaching him, and its speed was something he couldn't dodge. Two of his arm guards instantly lit up, putting up two barriers before the giant punch glowing in an icy blue sheen made contact.

"Bang…!"

Like sheets of glass, the barrier shattered, and Jacob was sent flying and smashed into the tower wall!ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
