Cursed Immortality-Novel

Chapter 487 Resentful Charlotte

'Could it be the blizzard also stopped once I killed the Fiend Yeti?' Jacob concluded as he was ninety percent sure it was the case.

Only then did he shift his focus, and he was staggered when he looked in the north direction. He saw the once tallest ice mountain of these ice plains was completely gone, and what was left of it was an over-half-melted mountain of ice!

Jacob sighed with a hint of relief and muttered, "I'm glad I was able to escape alive. I wonder what happened to Charlotte and the Dead Duke."

A cruel smile surfaced on Jacob's face. He really hoped Charlotte wasn't dead since she was a source of high-level nutrition. Nonetheless, Jacob wasn't too hopeful since the chances of her escaping alive were very low.

What he should be focusing on was where to proceed now. There was no way of knowing which direction he should choose, and the Beast of North was dead, so he had to search for the remaining beast of directions.

In the end, Jacob decided to head in the opposite direction to the melted ice mountain and hoped to find some clues about his next target before anyone else could.

Furthermore, he was planning on consuming the Fiend Yeti's heart once he found some more secluded place and made some preparations. Like this, Jacob's journey towards the south started.

However, Jacob had no idea that at this moment, in the west direction from his, a giant and a zombie were locked in a deadly battle. They were none other than Charlotte and Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke!

Both of them managed to survive the explosion and escaped the hellish site because they were far away from the ice tower. But to escape the radiation and being buried under the ice and drowning, they both had to use their trump cards.

However, they had never expected that they would bump into each other today.

The Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke was no match for Charlotte without his army of zombies, so he tried to escape. But Charlotte also knew about this fact and didn't let go of this chance to get rid of this troublesome enemy while she had the chance.

Furthermore, Charlotte was filled with rage and humiliation after she heard the announcement about Jacob clearing the first condition and discovered that this giant was none other than the enemy of the three hegemonies, Faceless Ancient!

This was something she hadn't even dreamt of, and all that information about Jacob being an elf turned out to be nothing but bullshit because he was clearly a giant. The most humiliating part was that the guy played her like a fiddle, and she wondered if he was laughing at her in secret because of her identity.

Now, she wanted to find that rascal and have a good 'chat' with him. However, despite not wanting to admit it, she knew she was no match for the cunning fellow, especially after witnessing the destruction he had caused by using his infamous weaponry.

Furthermore, if he was able to escape alive despite being so close to that ghastly explosion, it was even more impossible for her to fight him. This made her even angrier, and now she wanted to reveal this information to her father so he wouldn't fool Jacob like her.

She was about to use her vermin transponder when she discovered the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke and started to fight him with all her might. If she could get rid of a Dead Duke, she might be able to wash her shame.

Charlotte was encased in crimson flames as she was dodging lances made with purple liquid filled with poison. The Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke was desperately retreating while trying to slow the infuriated giant.

He was even more frustrated than Charlotte because once the Dead King heard that someone from the life faction had already broken a shackle, many heads would roll. Even his own head was in danger.

But encountering Charlotte put him in great danger right off the bat because he was a sorcerer while Charlotte was a combatant. Furthermore, he only had poison magic except for his zombies, and the ironic part was Charlotte could burn the poison. He was a terrible match-up to fight her, so the danger was massive.

"Vile livestock! If you insist on killing this duke, I will take you down with me!" He roared furiously when he saw Charlotte was only a few meters away from him, and her terrifying heat was no joke.

"Hmph, just become the real dead, Dead Duke!" Charlotte sneered with killing intent as a massive amount of fire started to concentrate on her fists. She was determined to kill him.

Right at this moment, the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke took out a black magic scroll and activated it. Powerful dark magic was released.

However, Charlotte seemed to be ready as a white talisman appeared in her hand, and she activated it. Thereafter, she threw it toward the dark miasma that was covering her.

A blinding white light clashed with the dark miasma, and the next moment, the dark miasma started to burn before nothing was left!

The Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke was horrified as the flames in his eye sockets trembled, and he tried to use another magic scroll.

But it was already too late, for Charlotte's flame fist was upon his face!

"Boom!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovel(F)ɪre

A huge flame explosion with the sound of bones shattering rang in the vicinity.

The Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke's entire skull was blown off as his headless body was falling.

Charlotte coldly stood there as the surrounding flames started to retract into her body. But her complexion was pale, and she seemed out of breath. She had used almost all of her mana to land a single hit on the dead duke.

If he had just two of his zombie puppets, she might've been the one on the ground at this moment, not the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke.

Still, her eyes shimmered with elation when she looked at the headless Dead Duke, who could even make her father wary, but now she had slain him.

But when she thought that it was all possible because Jacob got rid of the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke's monster army and probably forced him to use his strongest life-saving treasures like herself, she ground her teeth in resentment.

"Jack, Faceless Ancient, don't you dare to think that you can get rid of me so easily. Once I report what happened in this place, the entire forces of the three hegemonies will enter this place, including my dad. They will never allow an outsider to walk all over them.

"The trial is just beginning, and you are way over your head if you think it's already over just because you figure out the trial type…"

A malicious smile appeared on her face as she took out the vermin transponder and activated it!
