Cursed Immortality

Chapter 673 Holy Polaris Region (2)

The secret tunnel was extremely long, not to mention it was only ten-meter-long in diameter, which was quite stiff for Jacob's size, but since it was underwater, he could easily swim through it.

When he reached the end of the tunnel, it opened up in another building within the Holy Polaris Region.

But Jacob exited the tunnel when he heard a static voice, "So long, you damn fishes, I had enough of you all!"

He saw a cloaked figure no far away holding a shimmering runic plate in his hand. The other party also noticed the faint ripples in the water behind him, and he quickly turned around!

Both Jacob and the cloaked figure were astounded and bewildered when they saw each other, especially Jacob, who noticed the oxygen mask probing out from the cloaked figure's head.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

'He's from the surface!' Jacob instantly thought and quickly reacted by activating the slumber hex.

"Who the hell are you, and how did you know about this passage?!" The cloaked figure questioned, hiding the amiss feeling in his heart, and magic waves began to ripple around him.

'A three steps of legend expert!' Jacob mused as his eyes narrowed because his hex failed, which could only mean that this person ranked somewhere in the three steps of legend.

Jacob was even more surprised now because if this man was really from the surface and because of rank, it was extremely strange. After all, he knew how rare the three steps of legend experts were on the surface, and they all belonged to three absolute factions or equally strong organizations.

Furthermore, from the little bit of mumbling he heard, he could tell he was about to do something when Jacob suddenly appeared. Most importantly, he also wanted to know how this man discovered this hidden tunnel.

"Sir, he's wearing armor around his head, so I can't affect him with magic, nor I can't break into his head. We need to create an opening in this armor." Autarch's voice rang in Jacob's head at this moment.

Jacob frowned, as this situation was a first for him, but he didn't show his frustration since he could already 'see' this guy gathering power around his hand. He was also distracting him until he was done gathering enough magic power to cast a spell.

He wouldn't give him a chance, though. After all, he knew all the corporeal magic, like earth, fire, and wind, other than water, was extremely weak in this pressure, and only the eternal magic, like lightning, light, dark, and such, was not affected much.

The casting time was also affected for someone who lived on the land, and that was the main reason the land dwellers never tried to infiltrate the deep ocean. They were too weak against the natives.

Swords appeared in Jacob's hands as he sprang into action. Using the water mana to increase his speed, he directly slashed toward the cloaked figure, who was also about to cast a spell.

He was shocked when Jacob suddenly attacked. His speed was just like the ocean race's, so he was even more sure that Jacob belonged to the ocean race.

But he quickly composed himself and uttered, "Sound Displacement!"

Powerful ripples spread around the water, and when they hit Jacob, he suddenly felt intense pain in his ears and mind.

'Sound magic!'

Jacob's expression fell since it was his first time experiencing sound magic, which was quite rare. This magic has nothing to do with water pressure, for it can directly affect someone's mind!
