Chapter 759: Reel in the Net (9)
The moment the hourglass appeared above Mr. 65,100's pale forehead, Jacob's heart raced, and he instantly knew that he wasn't wrong about this hourglass. It was the same feeling he had when he found those two hourglasses in the ruin of Siren Hymn Temple after killing the final two survivors, and they were extremely beneficial for him.
Although Jacob didn't know who these people with these mysterious hourglasses belonged to, one thing he was sure of was that he wouldn't be going to miss this chance at all. Without hesitation, Jacob stabbed his sword into Mr. 65,100's head, but to his surprise, it easily bypassed Mr. 65,100's corporeal body, and at this moment, Mr. 65,100 seemed to have activated some kind of magic as a phantom of a half-filled dark framed hourglass appeared behind.
However, to Jacob's surprise, instead of an alarm, this hourglass phantom stirred something within Jacob as the sleeping hunger suddenly awakened. The next moment, his heart rate climbed through the roof as an extremely powerful invisible suction force suddenly enveloped the hourglass phantom and Mr. 65,100 together!
"What are you doing!? No impossible! How could you harm my...hihkkkk...ahhhhhh!" Mr. 65,100 suddenly started to scream in agony as if something was ripping his very heart from his chest.
Even Jacob was bewildered as he saw a dark wisp of smock appear from Mr. 65,100's forehead, followed by golden particles. Within three seconds, an ethereal dark hourglass suddenly pulled out from Mr. 65,100's forehead.
The moment the dark hourglass was pulled out, Mr. 65,100's blood-curdling screams instantly died down as his body started to turn into gray ash, leaving behind a dark gray glowing core while the enteral hourglass directly absorbed into Jacob's chest where his cursed heart had emerged at some point after being vanished ever since that strange incident.
However, the moment the ethereal hourglass was absorbed by his cursed heart, it vanished. But before that, a powerful crimson pulse was released, and Jacob instantly felt a warm current passing through his entire body.
Not only that, but he could feel the Cursed Path Glory Gem heat up for a moment before it went dormant, leaving behind Jacob in a strange euphoric feeling before it faded away.
"Times Shield!" Miss 70,469 roared with extreme difficulty as she already sensed the glare of death locked on her. She didn't care about anything anymore as she directly used her final trump card to save herself.
Jacob's footsteps also came to a halt when he sensed a strange power suddenly enveloping Miss 70,469. The hourglass phantom behind was glowing, and the golden sand was churning and getting exhausted at an alarming rate.
Even Jacob felt threatened by this mysterious power, and he could sense he wouldn't be able to approach it. He frowned as he watched Miss 70,469 slowly stand up, as the formation wasn't working on her anymore.
However, he also noticed that the sand in the hourglass behind her was quickly drooping, and at this rate of exhaustion, she would only last for another three minutes or so.
"I have no enmity with you!" Miss 70,469 suddenly spoke in an exhausted yet dreadful voice, "As long as you promised to let me go, I'll help take down that traitorous bastard!"
She was filled with indignation and hatred for Golden Constant-51,117, as not only did he not pay her, but he even used her as bait to buy time. Although she was on friendly terms with Golden Constant-51,117, that didn't mean she would allow herself to be killed after being backstabbed by him. This was simply unacceptable!
That's why she decided to change sides without hesitation. Although she knows that she wouldn't truly die since she didn't know about Jacob's ability to truly kill them, she knows she would suffer a huge loss, and her rank would also drop.
Unaware of Miss 70,469's thoughts, Jacob had no intention of letting her go, and this was even more true after finding the hourglass's existence.
Nonetheless, since he can't risk entering this strange field around her, he plays along, hoping to get an answer, "Tell me who you are and your affiliation, or no deal!"
