Cursed Immortality-Novel

While the Zodiac Night Guardians were in full pursuit behind Jacob, a small ship was heading east at full speed without anyone noticing it.

"Will he be fine?" A beautiful elf asked with worry; she was none other than Sofie.

Zoe was controlling the ship replied solemnly, "Mr. Jack is a capable and unfathomable man, and I don't think he'll put his life in danger like this. Although I don't know what he's planning, since he put his mind to it, all we can do is trust him and take full advantage of this chance he has provided us."

Sofie sighed with a tingle of guilt, "I guess Your Highness is right; we are nothing but a burden to him, so he sent us ahead."

Zoe smiled bitterly, "Indeed. Let's just focus on getting on the unique plains. We'll pave the way for him and welcome him once he is back. I'll also help you elevate your bloodline, and we won't be weaklings the next time we meet."

Sofie's eyes shimmered with determination as she thanked Zoe and thought, 'I won't miss this chance you earned for me…'

In the north direction, Jacob's ship was moving at full speed while he calmly stood on the top of the sail.

'Although this wasn't my initial plan, it can't be helped. I can move faster without the burden. I finally understand why that old weasel told me to go alone. Now, whether you guys survive or not, it'll depend on your capabilities…'

He suddenly smiled as he looked at the vast horizon.

"How far are we?" He sent a mental message to Autarch, who was controlling the ship with its puppet while its actual body was hidden within Jacob's solar plexus.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

Since Autarch can no longer evolve without the unique titian tears, there was no longer any need for it to roam around. It can remotely operate its puppets as long as they are in a 100-mile radius range.

This was the true terrifying aspect of Brain Hunter and Jacob was fully utilizing it.

"According to the map, the Dead Faction's territories are still a year's worth of voyage ahead of us. But we might encounter their patrols sooner." Autarch replied.

"Let's just hope they won't catch up too soon. Continue to sail the ship at full speed. There is no need to worry about the magic gems. As long as they didn't have a legendary rank ship, it wouldn't be easy to catch up to us.

"We can lead them by the nose. I want to see how determined they are for my medallion. If they give up, then there is nothing to lose, but if they don't, I'll let the dark beings take care of them while I'll use the distraction to sneak into their territory." Jacob stated confidently.

Since he already has the map and knows where the den of the dark beings is, he decides to change his plan and go there first to evolve his hex core to a unique rank.

After all, this was beneficial for him in the long run, and he would have more trump cards to rely on. Furthermore, he needed the mystic signature as well, so he sent Sofia and Zoe off under the pretext of drawing the guardians' attention.

After all, they would be a burden and die eventually if they went with him. At least they would feel grateful and indebted to him this way.

As time continued to pass, Jacob would release the flying ship each day for a few minutes before storing it in the infinity pendant. This way, the Zodiac Night Guardians won't get lost.

On this day, Jacob suddenly made the ship stop because, far ahead of him, there was mist.

"We finally arrived at the purlieu of the dead faction territories. This mist should be a protective measure to keep the intruders from entering unescaped. Alright, found a place to hide this ship." Jacob commanded impassively.

This ship was simply too big to store in a space ring, so Jacob had no choice but to hide it in the open and hope no one would find it.

Once that was done, Jacob gathered Autarch's puppets and stored them in his space ring. Since they were essentially dead, they can be stored in space rings.

The next moment, he took out the flying ship of the Zodiac Night Federation and began to operate it as it being to rose in the sky.

He had already learned the method to operate it from Autarch, so it wasn't a mystery to him anymore, and he also let Nyx analyze it so they could research it.

Now that he was already at his destination, he no longer had any qualms about using it, and he headed directly toward the mist far ahead while keeping the ship in stealth.

He knew the guardians had a special method to track it, and truth be told, if he wanted, he could've easily gotten rid of it a few months ago after he fully understood its mechanism, but he didn't since it wasn't the right time yet.

As soon as he entered the mist, Jacob felt a strange deprave sensation creeping into his body and mind.

"Oh, this is some kind of mental invasion." Nyx's curious voice rang.

"They have to be at least this competent for being one of the three absolute factions. We just need to be careful." Jacob commented as despite that strange mist his body and mind were completely fine.

As they moved deeper, the mist before more ticker, and so did its effects, and all of a sudden, Jacob narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.

Thereafter, deep blue flaming eyes appeared within the mist giving off ghastly cold pressure, an eerie voice rang, "Zodiac Night Federation, are you bunch lost? Do you know where you are trespassing?"

Jacob was a little astonished since he thought the dark being would directly spring into action, but it seemed they were also wary of Zodiac Night Federation. But it also made sense since the dead faction was already mortal enemies with the life faction.

But if a neutral faction took the life faction side, the balance would be tipped to the life faction side, and it wouldn't be good news for the dead faction whose whole existence depends on the life faction. So, this dark being didn't directly attack.

Jacob coldly replied while his face was hidden behind a mask, "Lowly freak, it's not your place to question the federation's action. Today, I'm here with my comrades to get rid of the scourge of Zodiac Plains!"

The flames churned violently, clearly startled by his disrespectful words, "What did you?!"

Jacob didn't even bother to reply anymore and uttered with killing intent, "Die!"
