Cursed Immortality

Chapter 896: Nightmare Sepsis

Jacob’s eyes regained focus, and the next moment, the soul star watch on his wrist vanished into his infinity pendant.

The first thing he did after he exited the Virtual Star World was converse with Nyx as he questioned, "So, how was it?"

Although the Virtual Star World was fascinating, Jacob wanted information about the legendary plains and its current situation, in addition to how this world works, which he finally had after spending a few hours.

Not only that, but Jacob also found that those merchants in the Legendary Spectrum Sky City weren’t selling anything to those independent Legendary Rank experts because of the decree of the top powers, which was the result of the current emergence of Zodiac Beasts.

If he wanted to buy something, he needed to be a member of those powers or be a legendary king, which Jacob didn’t want to reveal at that moment. After all, Jacob had the Myriad Galaxy King’s wealth, and since he was a King Alchemist, he should also have cutting-edge equipment that he could use for now.

That’s why, after gathering information, he decided to call it a day and exited the Virtual Star World since he didn’t want to waste time, especially with the ambiguous situation with the Zodiac Beasts.

Nyx spoke at this moment in a mischievous tone, "Well, it seemed you were right this time. This place isn’t like that soul farm. Although some element of soul is involved, it’s completely different from that place. Furthermore, its structure is almost flawless, and even with my current power, I can’t mess with it, or we’ll be discovered!"

Jacob nodded in acknowledgment since he had been expecting this much from the Star Network, but he still felt somewhat pity.

"On another note..." Nyx suddenly said with a hint of anticipation, "Can you give me this Soul Star Watch? I think I can also use it to enter that world and try spreading my seeds from there. After all, not only will it grant you lifespan if I succeed, but I can be your eyes and ears in that place?"

Jacob was astounded by this unexpected request as he asked with a hint of suspicion, "I was under the impression that you can’t have your physical body. How are you planning on binding the star soul watch?"

"Hehehe, who said anything about needing a body to use that toy? From my analysis, that thing will work if it has a different soul signature. So, all I need is for you to wear it. Let me try using my soul force. If it works, I’ll consider a new user and can also enter there!" Nyx stated with evident excitement.

Jacob was amazed since Nyx’s words made sense, and the more he mulled over them, the more doable it seemed.

"NO!" Nyx shouted, "I also won’t give you the Nightmare Sepsis Fruit! Just give me a chance! It isn’t clear if I can pull this off, yet you’re so stubborn!"

A flash of anger appeared in Jacob’s eyes. He could easily cut off Nyx’s connection and confine her into the nightmare realm, but she was very important, especially that Nightmare Sepsis Fruit from Blackwell because Nightmare Sepsis was Nyx’s new ability she awakened after she evolved into legendary rank.

Nightmare Sepsis not only torments its victim, but like a neoplasm, it eats their entire soul and produces Nightmare Sepsis Fruit, which has two uses.

The first one was that it could heal soul injuries, like soul medicine, and strengthen the soul. The second and most important one is that it also contains 40% random life memories of its victim.

Although it can’t extract 100% memories like Autarch, it was still enough for Jacob to hold this ability in high regard.

Moreover, Nightmare Sepsis can be countered as long as the soul of the Nightmare contractor, which means Jacob’s soul was weaker than Nyx’s victim because it inflicts extreme pain, especially when it’s reached its completion. At the same time, Nyx can use her abilities on Nightmare Sepsis victims, no matter where they hide.

However, Jacob wasn’t too worried since he knew Nyx wouldn’t dare to go against him and only throw a tantrum. However, this could also lead to some consequences that Jacob didn’t want.

After all, as Nyx evolved, Jacob started to understand just how powerful and uncanny her abilities were, and she could use them without even him realizing it. Although there was the nightmare contract in play, and she couldn’t betray him, he was never able to confirm its exact contents and only had Immortika’s assurance.

Nonetheless, Nyx was loyal despite her annoying personality, and just as she said, she cherished her life as much as Jacob himself. Find exclusive content at novelhall.Côm

In the end, Jacob decided to give in since it wasn’t clear if she could even do this in the first place, but he wouldn’t show any weakness, or she would think she could get whatever she wanted by simply throwing a tantrum.

"I’ll think about it once I have the result of your Nightmare Sepsis Fruit. But this will be the last time you try to threaten me, is that understood?" Jacob asked in an icy tone.

Nyx pursed her lips since she knew Jacob’s personality, so she knew pushing this further would only cause herself trouble. She replied, "Hmph, fine!"
