Chapter 833 A Crooked Deal!
Jacob looked at the reward list with glowing curiosity, and his eyes stopped on the Scorching Blades of Aries Legacy and Aries' Will Twin Sword Set. He had personally witnessed the twin swords in Aries' hands in the murals. From both general descriptions, he could only imagine how powerful this legacy and treasure were since they were created after Aries and probably complement each other.
Furthermore, he was a dual wielder himself, but his Deceptive Swords Style was rather unique. It was created in ancient times during the era of martial arts in his world and passed down from generation to generation in his wife's clan, the Proulx Clan.
If not for his talent, Mr. V wouldn't have passed it down to him, and only he knew how much hardship he had to go through before that old man was willing to teach it to him.
Moreover, his wife was even more proficient than him in this sword style, but because of his dreams, his priorities weren't martial arts. He only learned martial arts out of his needs and to earn money in his youth when he was poor yet proud and didn't want an easy way to the top.
Because of his obsession, he wanted to create everything himself without any help, but as he grew old, he learned the ways of the world and changed himself. But his obsessions and pride never changed.
This was also Jacob's biggest regret in his final years. He had been blinded by his obsessions and pride and ignored everything until nothing was left, and everything he ever wanted to be seemed meaningless to him. In the end, all he wanted was to live another for 'that' promise.
Jacob's eyes remained on the Scorching Blades of Aries Legacy for some time before he decided to look away. Even if this was a King State Legacy, his Deceptive Swords Style was enough for him, and he also wanted to stick with it and even surpass it, even to the same heights as Aries's sword style.
The next thing that caught his attention was the Map of the Blazing Constellation, and when he read its description, his eyes instantly glowed when he read the 'Yang Fire' on it.
Jacob still remembers when he came in contact with the Yin Ice. Immortika also mentioned Yang Fire and how rare they were. Furthermore, the yin ice was still assimilating his water magic core, changing it.
'If Yang Fire is also the same, then it'll be extremely beneficial for my fire magic core. Not to mention, since this map is in the section of a legendary king state treasures, the Yang Fire has to be even more powerful. I've already had many treasures and with the legendary keys, I'll get more. So, I should pay attention to special items like the Astral Lightseed...'
"I chose the Map of the Blazing Constellation!" Jacob quickly made his choice, as he declared before he glanced at the Vampire Princess, who was not far away; she happened to be looking his way and paying attention to him.
Resentment and envy shone in her eyes furiously when she heard Jacob choosing a treasure that should've been her without his interference. But he quickly suppressed it when she saw Jacob was looking her way and focused on the translucent white parchment in her hand as dark words continued to appear on following her will and soul force. It was a soul contract.
Jacob then sent the soul contract on her way since now it was Gracey's turn to input her soul force before the soul contract took effect. If she tries to change anything on it, it'll be destroyed. This means that the content of the contract was absolute once one party signed it.
Gracey didn't hesitate, either. She directly used her soul force on the contract, and the next moment, the contract shone brilliantly before it burst into white particles. Afterward, two ethereal white streaks bolted in Jacob and Gracey's direction.
No one dodged them, as they both allowed them to land on their glabella before they vanished into their souls. Gracey didn't react much, but Jacob was closely paying attention as he observed the moment the soul contact entered his spiritual nebula. A powerful, mysterious power suddenly started to take effect.
But at this moment, his cursed heart suddenly came alive and started to pulse with crimson light on its own. Suddenly, that strange power seemed to be with a predator, and it instantly erased before the cursed heart went dormant again as if nothing had happened!
Although Jacob had expected this much, he was amazed and delighted when he witnessed his cursed heart in action for the first time.
But he didn't have time to celebrate. He looked at Gracey and saw her calm, which meant she didn't discover it at all.
Jacob then quickly acted, pushing the ascension permit towards Gracey without any hint of worry and saying, "This is yours now."
Gracey was again astounded by Jacob's move. She expected him to demand her Domanial Neckless first, but when she thought about the soul contract establishment, she knew neither she nor Jacob could go back on their words.
Glaring indignantly, she grabbed the ascension permit and felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulder. But it soon turned into unwillingness and resentment as she removed a black necklace with a gray crystal etch on it. It was the Domanial Neckless, a Legendary Noble Rank Treasure!
"Hand it over!" Jacob coldly said when he saw her hesitation and reluctance.
"Fine!" Gracey murderously retorted before she sent it towards.
The moment he grabbed it, Jacob directly sent it to his infinity pendant, so even if she had some connection with it, it would break directly.
The very next moment, Jacob noticed a change in Gracey's eyes, but it was too late for her as he directly uttered, "Slumber Hex!"
