Cursed Immortality

Chapter 764: Joining the Stage!



The moment the dark ethereal fog enveloped them, Furcas instantly released white light, encasing both himself and Jacob.

However, the dark fog was simply too strong and seemed to have a decaying effect as the light was quickly churning away, and the dark fog slowly closed in.

As for Asher, that poor fellow was already turned into cosmic ashes and secretly dealt with by the Zodiac Enforcer without having any chance to explain himself. His punishment was already decided the moment his origin was revealed, and nothing could be hidden from a Zodiac Enforcer.

But his reason for doing all that still eludes Zodiac Enforcer. Nonetheless, Zodiac Enforcer knew Asher's background, and he knew a massive investigation would be launched against his master.

"Answer.Me.And.I.Shall.Lead.You.To.Safety.Or.I'll.Claim.Your.Soul!" Furcas's solemn voice rang in Jacob's head again, and this time, there was a hint of haste in it.

However, Jacob didn't seem to hear it as his thoughts were chaotic, and he was hanging by a threat because, for a fragment of a moment, that dark fog had been able to touch Jacob before Furcas's reaction.

But that fragment of a second was enough for Jacob to feel like he was plunged into the depths of hell without any resistance. That power was simply too high for him to handle even a fragment of it, especially the disguise. He didn't even get the chance to reveal his true appearance.

Now, Jacob was completely vulnerable, and with a slight nudge, he'd meet with his end. He could barely able to make anything or even think straight. It was like he had returned to the time when he was towards the end of his life, living on all those machines.

Furthermore, Zodiac Enforcer's own power limit increased with Furcas's reckless actions, which gave him even more authority to deal with this rule breaker. Zodiac Enforcer understood that Furcas knew about this balance rule.

Now, he was really starting to get interested in Jacob's identity and why Furcas was taking such a risk for him.

Furcas finally stopped when only the black heart was left from the lesser demon body, which was on the verge of collapsing, but it was enough for him to achieve his goal, which was to get Jacob's soul.

His ethereal blurry hand was about to move towards Jacob's head when suddenly something out of the Zodiac Enforcer and Furcas's expectation happened.

Jacob's small body suddenly started to grow while escaping Furcas's grip, which shocked the ethereal figure. But what was even more shocking was he couldn't seem to move his body, and not only him but the dark fog came to a standstill as well; it was like time had completely stopped.

"W-who..." Zodiac Enforcer, who was also in a similar situation as Furcas, was equally flabbergasted. He was gawking at the giant with tattered clothes.

Some of his body was revealed, showing parts of his runic gray bones, while his face was now covered in a faceless mask; not even his eyes were visible, and from the tattered part of his hood, strings of bright silver hair flutter like flames despite the absence of any wind. "Jeez..." A jolly yet eerie voice overlapping with Jacob's suddenly rang, "I guess half of the cat is out of the bag now. Not like I'm complaining since it'll be more entertaining this way. Hahahahahaha!"

Following the strange speech was an eerie laughter that could send shivers down anyone's spine; even the Zodiac Enforcer was feeling uneasy, which was completely elusive to him for a very, very long time.

Unbeknownst to Jacob, Immortika had joined the stage!
