After Jacob's command, the new search began, and he was looking forward to the result of this battle. If Nyx can really empower his soul directly, then Jacob would be able to benefit immensely.

A few seconds later, Dark Rose's voice rang,

"Opponent has been discovered!

"Chief Hunter is entering the Arena!

"Match starts in 10 Seconds!"

The next moment, a graceful elf with half of her face covered entered the arena, and her dark eyes were icy as she looked at Jacob. Unlike War Hammer, she didn't say anything and made some distance between Jacob and herself. She was holding dual daggers in her hand.

'She is a dark elf…' Jacob guessed from her dark brown skin and black eyes; only the elf with dark elements had such features.

He also looked at the battle record shimmering above her head, 28/04 Win and Lost with 3 Win Streak written. It was quite clear that she was far more proficient in fighting than War Hammer.

Just as the battle started, Chief Hunter suddenly turned into a blur before she vanished entirely.

'Stealth?' Jacob's eyes narrowed slightly as he was familiar with stealth-type magic abilities. It was too bad that the hunter stealth needs aura or spirit, or he would've also selected it.

Nonetheless, he knew she needed to kill him to exit this place, and she couldn't keep up the stealth forever because of her limited mana, so he was on full-on high alert while holding his sword tightly. It was just too bad that his fluid acceleration or cursed heart wasn't copied, or he could easily find her.

Although Nyx said she could easily lift the restriction on him, she couldn't emulate his cursed heart. Besides, it was simply too risky, so he didn't want to try it since there was no risk to his life.

After ten seconds, Jacob felt an extremely deathly sensation coming from his left side; without hesitation, he slashed his sword in that direction.

'Chee…'

Sparks clashed in the air as his sword met with the black dagger, and because of his physical power, he sent Chief Hunter flying backward.

However, as he was about to follow up, goosebumps suddenly rose in his body as a piercing dagger appeared above his head.

He just happened to see Chief Hunter, whom he sent flying, suddenly vanish in the air, leaving behind a puff of dark smock.

Jacob didn't have time to pay attention to what happened and moved his head before the dagger could pierce right into his skull. But he wasn't able to completely dodge it as the dagger directly pierced through his left shoulder, and he felt a tyrannical energy suddenly enter his body, and the danger didn't just stay still either.

Despite missing its true mark, Chief Hunter's eyes were fully focused and cold as she tried to cut the dagger directly toward Jacob's neck.

Jacob roared as he slashed his sword towards Chief Hunter, who had appeared above him somehow and was going to cut open his neck.

Water magic burns on his blade like raging flames. If this sword connects, Chief Hunter would be cut in half since her hands were still holding the dagger, and she had a clear disadvantage in physical strength.

'He's not an oaf like the others…' Chief Hunter's eyes shimmered with a hint of amusement as she didn't feel frightened at all, 'Shadow Shift!'

The next moment, before Jacob's blade could touch her, she vanished like a phantom with her danger, and Jacob's sword missed while Chief Hunter reappeared ten meters away from within Jacob's shadow!

Jacob's mind reeled as he turned around and just happened to see Chief Hunter vanish again without leaving behind a trace. His eyes burn with shock and a strange mirth as his blood begins to boil.

It was the first time that Jacob was wounded to this extent and nearly lost his life. He had really underestimated other races' fighting capability, especially if he had nothing like his cursed heart, fluid acceleration, or weapons.

It was quite an awakening; his journey had been either too smooth or treacherous, as he had relied too much on his weapons lately. Ever since he had arrived in the Zodiac Plains, Jacob had never fought fairly with anyone, especially those magic users.

Now, Chief Hunter has proved that he still lacks experience against an opponent who is proficient in combat magic. He knew his weapons would lose their edge, and he had to rely on himself to survive and move forward.

Even if he ignored the truth about this Dark Battle Arena, it was very good to sharpen himself up by fighting opponents like Chief Hunter. He had nearly forgotten about how to fight hand in hand and was rusty. Furthermore, only now did he feel the urge to incorporate magic into his fighting style and take this seriously.

Moreover, when he was on the verge of death, he seemed to have sensed something as his reaction speed increased by twofold, and his mana seemed to have circulated on its own.

'Could it be Fighting Giant Spirit? Was it emulated with my body or…? This trait is for those who live to fight, and the stronger the opponent, the more Fighting Giant Spirit would stir. But it affects the mind. Could it be this trait is related to the soul in some way… I never thought of this like this before, but I think there is a possibility that it is true.

'Just now, my reaction speed suddenly increased, and mana seemed to have to move on its own… fighting giant spirit… spirit… what a tricking shit that eccentric book had pulled on me again. If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't be able to find out about it.'

Jacob's eyes shone as his blood began to boil again as he no longer suppressed that urge to fight to death. Suddenly, he felt like he could see and sense everything clearly, as his perception seemed to have undergone some mysterious change.

Despite the bloody hole on his shoulder, Jacob didn't feel any pain at all; in fact, he felt more active and excited as blood gushed out of his wound.

At this moment, Jacob suddenly sensed something, and with an impassive expression, he moved his hand and swung it upward. Chief Hunter's dagger was blocked again.

But this time, Jacob didn't send her flying at all, as water mana gushed out of his sword and, like a wild beast's mouth, wanted to devour her.

However, Chief Hunter seemed indifferent towards this attack.

Suddenly, Jacob's lips curled up in a cruel smile, 'This trick won't work again.'

Jacob then suddenly shot his sword right up ahead, and his second sword slashed on the left side like a hammer while the Chief Hunter above had already vanished.

"Impossible!" A panicked cry filled with disbelief rang.

The next moment, Jacob's first attack blocked Chief Hunter, who was right in front of him, but Chief Hunter also turned into a smock, it was another decoy.

However, Jacob second suddenly landed on something. Blood suddenly bloomed in the air, and the next moment, Chief Hunter's figure finally appeared, but she was cut in half from the waist.

"Who are you?" She questioned as she turned into particles, and her voice was filled with curiosity.

"Congratulations to Dictator on your arena victory!

"1 Dark Credit has been added to your account!

"2 Win Streak has been achieved!

"Do you want to search for another opponent?"
