Cursed Immortality



When Jacob achieved the unachievable by making Brain Hunter use its first poison on him and making it forever loyal…

Within an endless ocean of infinite stars, a vortex suddenly formed, and its size was immeasurable as the entire ocean of infinite stars stirred.

The very next moment, something in blazing white color shot out from the vortex eye like a white meteorite, but it was so tiny in front of all those stars that it looked like a speck of dust.

If looked closely, it was a humanoid shape white object surrounded by blazing white flames.

An emotionless voice suddenly rang from the ocean of stars, and this voice contained absolute authority in it as if no one would be able to resist it.

"A Heretic has been born within the Lesser Plains. Your task is to track it down and bring it back, Alive. I have already installed a compass in your conciseness which will allow you to sense its general position.

"But be warned as something is protecting it, and you won't be able to pinpoint its exact location because of that thing's interference. But it can only do this much like me.

"Anything comes in the way. Get rid of it!"

As the majestic voice trailed off, the white meteorite wrapped around space and vanished from the ocean of stars. The next moment the vortex also slowly fades away as everything returns to normal like nothing ever happened.

The same voice rang from the ocean of stars at this moment, but this time it contained a hint of impishness.

"Who was it… I haven't been this enthusiastic for an insurmountable time…"

Jacob, at this moment, was looking at the tiny Brain Hunter in his palm with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Although the Brain Hunter hadn't changed much, but for Jacob, it was completely different from before as now he felt very close to it like kin but also close like a King to his loyal subject or royal guard.

Furthermore, he was still quite shocked that his maimed eye was able to recover just like that, and he was sure it had something to do with this tiny guy in his palm.

The Brain Hunter's crimson antennas were twiddling at this moment as if it was conveying something which Jacob, despite not hearing it, clearly understood.

"You want to eat? What do you want to eat, a brain?" Jacob asked with his thoughts as he talked with Immortika.

The Brain Hunter was asking Jacob to feed it so Jacob could only think about one thing that it could eat or might like to eat.

Just as he said the name 'brain,' Brian Hunter's antennas swayed left and right vigorously.

"Heh, figures. Since that book said your true strength lies in Brain Hunting, then we'll focus on that from now on. I also want to know more about what kind of abilities and those memories you'll get from your bloodline would be.

"So, I was planning to find you a host anyway since it's also related to my plan. It would also be better if you could speak clearly. You've thought process is still like a little kid who was learning to speak." Jacob told Brain Hunter like he was talking with a puppy.

The closeness he felt toward Brain Hunter made him less vigilance toward it, unlike when he enslaved it using Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual. This was quite a unique feeling which wasn't bad since he had yet to trust someone in this place fully.

Now he could feel like he could trust Brain Hunter with his life. Even Immortika had yet to give him such a feeling.

The Brain Hunter antennas swayed again as it was the only body part that seemed to express its emotions.

"Alright, I'll give you a tasty brain…" Jacob's lips curled up before his eyes went cold as clothes started to appear on his body again.

The next moment, Brain Hunter also vanished from his hand and appeared within his solar plexus, which was a strange black space that seemed like an abyss that existed within Jacob himself.

After completely subduing the Brain Hunter, Jacob seemed to gain the ability to peer into this strange space as he could in the Infinity Pendant.

Brain Hunter could live here indefinitely without needing to eat anything since here. It would be kept alive as long as Jacob lived.

But this place wasn't like the Infinity Pendant as well since he could only seem to let Brain Hunter in or out. Nothing else nor the time seemed to stop here as Brain Hunter could still move its body or convey its thoughts to Jacob.

Not only that, but this place might have a far more mysterious effect than just this much, which Jacob was clearly oblivious to.

Nevertheless, since he can now gain access to this place, he would naturally research it and find a way to fully understand what solar plexus actually is and its true effects.

He also needed to figure out just how far can he summon Brain Hunter or reverse summon it and when he lost such ability. All in all, Jacob was planning to understand this ability before he left the rare plains fully.

But first, Jacob spent another eight hours in his workshop before he collected everything from the workshop, which he needed since he was not coming back and left the room.

Jacob was done with the entire process of enslaving the Brain Hunter in less than an hour, which was quite fast than he initially thought it would take. In contrast, the other eight hours were spent on his other preparations.

Nevertheless, the faster he was done with the Brain Hunter matter, the better, and he will have more time to finish his things. This matter was one of the top priorities he had, and now it was complete, which was like a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulder.

So, he summoned Clayton and Audrey to the meeting room post hastily.

Those two didn't dare to delay the moment they received Jacob's message, they were also quite fearful when they came in since it hadn't been even ten hours since Jacob had dismissed them, but now he summoned them on moment's notice.

So, they were naturally feeling trepidation and thought they had done something wrong. But what Jacob said next made them bewildered.

"I'm surrendering my Guild Leader position and leaving the Dark City for good. But before that, I need you to select three crook Grandmaster Alchemists for me. Tell them they will be my assistants in my journey, and it will be very rewarding for them!"
