Chapter 869: The Cursed Necromancer King! (1)
Jacob fell silent when he heard what was in front of him. Although he confirmed that this dark pool in front of him was a curse and how beneficial it was for him, he can't be reckless since he'll lift the curse if he dares to absorb it.
Even though Jacob didn't know who could've cast such a terrifying curse, he had a pretty good idea about the 'idiot' who, while trying to lift it, had made it even worse.
'So, if I assumed that this curse was meant for the Cursed Necromancer King and then to lift it, that guy used a sacrifice ritual but ended up making it even worse, which should be the reason for this entire nation's fall.
'I never imagined the Whammy Poison could turn into something like this. It seemed I still underestimated the power of an Evil Poison Lord, not to mention this Evil Poison Lord even knew about this Voodoo branch of Curse of Temperance that even I was unaware of a few moments ago. 'If I summarized all of this, then the reason that Cursed Necromancer King captured Elia should be related to this curse as well. Could it be he still wanted to lift this curse, and Elia is the key?'
The more Jacob thought about it, the more sure he became that this was the only explanation that fit this scenario, especially after he got the entire story from Autarch.
'I have to take back Elia and probably get rid of that Cursed Necromancer King before I absorb this curse. Even if the Cursed Necromancer King is unkillable, I'll lift the curse and be on my way. What he does afterward is not my headache...' Jacob quickly made up his mind.
After glancing at the dark pool one last time, Jacob walked towards the door on the other side, which was invisible to the naked eye, but the Eyes of Judge quickly saw through it.
However, Jacob's footsteps halted because this ancient door seemed to be covered in countless runes, and they were extremely high-level, and with his current runic knowledge, he couldn't decipher them.
Jacob was also shocked, as he had already gotten the information about those materials required in the third phase. He needed to collect the law essence of twelve elements, excluding infinity, and the death element was one of them.
But he wasn't expecting to encounter law essence in the legendary plains and so soon at that. It was even hidden so close to him. But he quickly became somber when he heard Immortika's subtle warning about the 'thing' hidden in this pool.
At this moment, realization dawned on him as he started channeling soul force in his Eyes of Judge, and the law essence that was obstructing his vision finally couldn't obstruct it anymore.
At this moment, Jacob finally saw a silhouette covered with crimson and black smoke at the bottom of this pool. There was no sign of life, but I knew it was definitely alive because of the faint white wisp of soul force hidden in this silhouette.
Furthermore, Jacob also saw a runic diagram etched at the bottom, which seemed to be powered by the law essence and channeling unknown black energy into it. Not only that, but Jacob noticed that dark crimson energy seemed to try eating away this runic diagram. This black energy was constantly fighting it, and they seemed to be in some stalemate.
'Let's secure those two first before I stir this hornet nest. This Cursed Necromancer King is simply hoarding too many good things alone...' Jacob's eyes flickered with a hint of greed before he averted his eyes.
From the dormant soul fluctuations, he knew that the Cursed Necromancer King was in deep slumber and that it was best not to awaken him before he got Elia and Autarch back.
Jacob then sensed Autarch's presence again, which was now extremely close. Soon, his eyes landed on the wall on the other side, where two stone statues stood, and a dark shrine was in the middle. But under Jacob's eyes, it was nothing but an illusion.
A toothy, eerie smile appeared on his skull face, 'Found them!'
