Cursed Immortality-Novel



The Southern Wing of the Witch Palace, where the death maze was located.

A group of thirty Shadow Wraiths was sieging a giant figure clad in black armor and wearing a dark windbreaker on top as they moved systemically and with flawless coordinates and tried to take the giant down with every vital attack. 

However, the giant didn't seem to be at any disadvantage as every time, those shadow wraiths were about to pierce into his armor. He would block them with his two dark-blade swords as he spun them around like a pendulum. 

With every move, he would push a shadow wraith a few meters back before focusing on others. It was like he had eyes on every angel, and at this moment, a faint smock screen started steaming from him as if he was on fire. 

At this moment, on the edges of his two dark blades, ethereal blue energy surfaced, and thereafter, he ruthlessly slashed it down the shadow wraith who was about to stab his heart. 

'Swishhhh…' 

A clean blue streak suddenly glowed in the center of Shadow Wraith, and the next moment, it split in half. The other shadow wraiths wailed in their spooky voices before they moved to shadows. 

But the giant figure didn't give them any chance to enter the shadows, as he splashed his blade without caring about what he would cut, and in sword wing, eight shadow wraiths lost their limbs or cut in halves while others managed to enter the shadows. 

Taking this chance, he quickly gets rid of those disabled ones before he focuses on the sneak attacks from those who entered the shadows. As someone who had been fighting dark beings for over three months without resting, he was aware of their tendency never to retreat if prey was a living being. 

"Water manipulation!" He hoarsely uttered as water suddenly started to materialize around him, and he muttered again as his amber eyes glowed blue hue, "Water weaving!" 

The next moment, the surrounding water suddenly started to take the shape of fifty bullets. 

"Fluid Acceleration; external!" 

The next moment, something magical happened. The water bullets suddenly started to spin like crazy, and their speed only increased without any sign of slowing down. Those water bullets spin so fast that the surrounding air vibrates. 

At this moment, the wraiths who entered the shadows crept out with increased speed as they were all aiming for the giant's vital spots. 

"Hmph! Released!" The giant sneered, and the next moment, those fifty bullets were released in the direction of the wraiths, and their speed was so fast they left behind small shockwaves. 

The shadow wraiths were clearly not afraid of water bullets, but those weren't just any water bullets, and the moment they touched those wraiths, they made big holes in them, and even after passing through the wraiths, those bullets blasted apart the stone floor, creating small creators. 

The next second, the shadow wraiths started to crumble down as they were all dead without even realizing it. 

The steam from the giant finally vanished as his breathing appeared somewhat uneven, and he muttered, "Haa, using fluid acceleration externally is even more tiresome than using it internally, especially when I'm using both of them simultaneously. Still, I'm glad that I found the true potential of my first ability from Water Acceleration before it was too late." 

The giant, who was naturally Jacob, sounded very excited about defeating thirty shadow wraiths at once, and he felt that all that solitary magic training was worth it all. 

In these past 20 months, he has learned many things in the witch palace about magic and witchcraft. His biggest discovery was naturally about fluid acceleration, which can not only manipulate his blood but any fluid! 

He was able to discover this secret after learning about the Unique Rank Magic Ability, the Water Acceleration. Although this ability could only accelerate water up to 100kmph speed, its principles were the same as fluid acceleration. 

Jacob was shocked when he discovered the resemblance between the two and instantly confronted Immortika about it. The reply he was given almost made him faint. 

"I never said you can 'only' accelerate your blood. Besides, your ability name is 'fluid' acceleration, not 'blood' acceleration. Hahahahah" 

That was the typical reply of Immortika, but Jacob felt like crap because he ignored such an obvious thing.  New chapters are published on ɴovelFɪre.net

Nevertheless, he didn't wallow, and he instantly started to research fluid acceleration by following the water acceleration principles. 

Although it took some time, and he almost lost control, the results were far more terrifying than he could've imagined. 

First, he was able to manipulate any fluid that he touched and accelerate it. After some more practice, he was able to manipulate fluid a few centimeters away from his body, and now, he was able to manipulate fluid 2 feet away from his body. 

Although the ring wasn't much, it matched his water magic that has been honed with the Universal Scripture Aura of Water and Fire Knight. The Fluid Acceleration turned out to be very terrifying. 

About the universal scripture, Jacob was easily able to learn it like any other magic user. However, Jacob also discovered another fact about his unusual water magic core. It was that he didn't have any problem learning any magic spells or abilities, whether they belonged to combat or sorcery. 

After dealing with the magic, Jacob finally decided to put that all to the test of what he had learned. Also, he wanted to upgrade the hex magic core to the next level. This way, he will be killing two birds with one stone. 

Although there were many more things he wanted to learn and try here since he was only able to absorb about 20% of the knowledge the Witch Queen Margret left about witchcraft. The thing was, he didn't have time, so he put the witchcraft on hold and focused on his combat magic. 

Jacob looked at the cursed book in front of him and asked, "How many more left before I can upgrade my core to epic rank?"

Immortika laughed in amusement, "Hahaha… 1,284. But I'm afraid you have already exhausted the dark being in this place, and in a few hours, the trial plain will descend. Just thinking about it makes me ecstatic to no end. I can finally get the entertainment I deserve! Hahahah!" 

Jacob pursed his lips, seeing the crazy laughter of Immortika, and sighed ruefully as he couldn't do anything about it because what Immortika said was a cold, hard fact. 

'Oh well, I just need to enter the trial plain. Completing it that is another story, and I can continue my study of witchcraft in that place. I think it's for the best since I need some living test subjects for the witchcraft.' Jacob's lips rose in a cruel smile as he ordered coldly, "Guide me to the central wing!"
