Cursed Immortality-Novel

Chapter 547 Last Preparation (1)

?Five days later, Jacob finally emerged from the torture chamber, and he seemed to be bathed in blood. He spent day and night 'taking care' of Captain Free Sword and keeping him alive until Nyx was done with him.

Jacob has really let loose in these past five days; he had broken Captain Free Sword's body and mind until he was just a living corpse, and today, he finished him off. There was no longer the Infamous pirate in this world who shook the unique plains once.

Until the end, Captain Free Sword still wondered how Jacob was able to get to this point in a few years and how he managed to break past the restraints of the Zodiac Oath Contract.

After taking a bath in Captain Free Sword's cabin, which was now his, he summoned the new vice-captain, who was none other than the scarred ogre named Mic. Jacob appointed him because he was the strongest as well, and he seemed very obedient.

"How's the things going?" Jacob questioned while calmly sitting on a comfortable couch.

Although Mic was curious why Jacob had taken so many days in the ship's torture chamber, he didn't dare to tarry and replied, "Replying to the lord, everything is under control, and we are really to set sail anytime."

Jacob nodded, "What are the members' attitudes?"

Even though Jacob was keeping them all alive for their lifespan, he had to admit having them work with him was not a bad thing. So, he decided to let them live as long as they could after Nyx devoured their dreamscape realm.

They were all experienced veterans when it came to Star Ocean, so as long as they behaved, he'd keep them alive. Furthermore, Captain Free Sword found many things about the unique plains, and that place was really not to be looked down upon, even for someone like him at the peak of the unique rank. That's why he had some changes in plans.

"They are all well-behaved and cooperative," Mic replied, and he was telling the truth, especially about the members of other races.

Captain Free Sword always looked down on other races, and they treated the other race's members like sacrificial pawns, and he never let them have real power in the crew. Only Masha was an expectation because of her runic skills.

This was also the reason the people who betrayed him were from different races, not his own. Furthermore, to find the hidden traitor, Captain Free Sword had Masha draw slave runes on all the members, which secretly infuriated them.

But having no choice, they could only be cooperative. However, what made those other race members despise and hate Captain Free Sword was he didn't remove their slave runes, but he was done with them. But he removed them from his own race members.

Now, they were virtually free since they still thought Jacob had killed Masha, so they were very cooperative with Jacob's reign, but it was still too soon to tell where their loyalty lies since this might change once they returned. For now, they were obedient. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

"Good, steer the ship to a barren island. I still have some matters to tend to in Epic Plains. This ship burns too many unique rank magic gems. I'm afraid we'll run out of them before reaching our destination." Jacob commanded.

Now that he was the owner of this place, he naturally knew just how expensive it was to have this ship. It operates on magic gems, and they are an extremely precious resource in the unique plains. Some even use them as currency.

Although Captain Free Sword's space rings have plenty of them, Jacob doesn't want to burn them just because of that, so he has Mic to stop on an island until he is ready.

Speaking of space rings, he made sure to make Captain Free Sword remove his mystic signature before he killed him, and he was very obedient.

"As you wish." Mic nodded since this made sense and quickly left to prepare.

Once he left, Jacob looked at his new star watch, which had actually turned from a simple wristband into a blue rune symbol on his wrist. To remove it, he needed to use his mana, and only if the user was not resisting would it reveal its true form.

This star watch was far more high-tech than epic star watches. It was directly connected with his mind, and surprisingly, now Jacob didn't need to use his mana to control it, but he could control it with his mind.

Furthermore, any voice communication would directly sound in his mind, which was even more shocking. He really wondered just who was the one who designed these things and what level of technology was required to make them.

With a thought, the rune symbol shimmered as a virtual projection appeared, and Jacob couldn't help but smile, "The star network is finally restored, and I'm thankful I can still use it. It seemed only someone who had been connected with the unique plains star network would be restricted, it's not depended on the technology level."

Jacob received a notification the other day about the star network restoration. He didn't know what was the result of the Star Network investigation, but it had nothing to do with Jacob.

Furthermore, the very day, he received multiple calls from the Society Killer, who was probably running out of bombs, and another person called him the Timeless Dark Tree from the dark city.

Lastly, he also received Sofie. She was probably worried about what was the result of Jacob's takeover. But Jacob didn't reply to any one of them since he was busy.

Now that things were on track and with new information, he moved to his next plan to go into the Unique Plains.

The first person he called was none other than the Timeless Dark Tree of Dark City!

Now that he had the same star privilege as the Dark Marquise, he no longer needed to be retrained.

"Mr. Ancient, you finally decided to return my call." A few moments later, the Dark Marquise's bell-like voice rang!
