Cursed Immortality-Novel

After discovering the healing effect of the cursed blood, Jacob used magic gem after magic gem, and his body began to go back to its original state. However, this process was quite long and costly.

To return to his peak, Jacob used over 5000 advanced unique rank magic gems, which were enough to power an advanced unique rank flying ship for about a month at full capacity.

An advanced unique rank magic gem has mana equal to 100 intermediate unique rank magic gems and far more condensed and pure quality. To make an advanced unique rank magic gem, one needed 1000 magic cores of at least tier-7 unique rank, so one can only imagine how precious an advanced rank magic gem was.

Jacob only got around five hundred thousand magic gems from Captain Free Sword's entire crew, and this was the accumulation of hundreds of years of plundering. After his voyage to the unique plains, he had already spent more than a hundred thousand of them.

Jacob also noticed that only after his body fully recovered did the cursed heart stop interfering with the mana recovery of his magic core, and the mana was finally able to go through to his water magic core. It was like his cursed heart had priority over the mana.

He also tried this with the hex core by absorbing the mana from the dark beings' magic cores, but to his surprise, the cursed heart didn't interfere and let the mana go directly into the hex core.

In the end, he reached two conclusions; the first, the cursed heart could only absorb the pure refined mana of magic gem, or the dark being core's magic energy was not suitable to nourish his body.

The second, the cursed path glory gem, was the actual reason for his ability to convert dark being magic core mana into his own, so it might also be the reason for it not working directly on his body.

Whatever the reason, he was content with this new ability to heal and quench his hunger. Now that he was fully revered after spending hours in the deep ocean, Jacob was ready to head back to the surface.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

Although he didn't know what the result of that explosion was and how much damage it had caused to the dead faction territory, he was sure that it wasn't enough to kill the dead kings unless they were very close to that explosion.

Still, it was enough to deal a heavy blow to the Dead Faction. What he needed to be worried about was the misunderstanding about him being Captain Free Sword. He knew he was the most wanted man after his encounter in the unique trial plains, but he didn't expect it would be to such an extent.

Jacob could guess that on the day, he used ogre puppets to snatch the flying ship from the federation and kill those two guardians. They instantly connected them with Captain Free Sword's crew.

The reason for that senseless chase was most likely related to this reason as well. But what he didn't understand is how in the world the Dead Faction got the winds of it. If they wanted Captain Free Sword to themselves, they would be very careful about how they got this information, and he was sure only the upper echelon of the federation would have this kind of information.

Unless a traitor informed the Dead Faction or tried to negotiate with them when they found that it would be impossible to grab Captain Free Sword directly from the Dead Faction territory.

Whatever the case was, it was still good news for him because as long as they thought he was Captain Free Sword, he didn't have to worry about being hunted since they didn't know his actual identity.

But he knew if he used the ogre puppets in the open again, he would be exposed, and everyone would come after him in full force. He wasn't invincible in the unique plains as he thought he would be, and to raise his power, he had to evolve either the hex core, which was now somewhat impossible, or start working on the final stage of the first phase.

Both of those options were quite dangerous right now, but the latter was still less dangerous. After making up his mind, Jacob decisively took out all the ogre puppets and left them in the depths of the ocean for good.

Now, even if someone investigates, they would only think the crew and Captain Free Sword died in that explosion. The only way to connect him with Captain Free Sword was through Sofie and Zoe.

Jacob had warned them never to reveal this to anyone unless they wanted to suffer, so he was sure they wouldn't open their mouth unless they wanted to become his dinner. He was pretty sure they knew what kind of man he was by now.

Afterward, Jacob used the Spirit Water Escape ability, and his entire body suddenly turned into water molecules, and he turned one with water. This was the most powerful escaping ability he had, and unless someone could completely get rid of the water body he was merged with, it was impossible for him to die.

Because of this very ability, he was able to escape death, and that's the reason he dared to use that bomb.

The magic abilities that used spirit or aura were called the Spirit Abilities or Aura Abilities, and Spirit Water Escape was a spirit ability of water type. This ability was extremely rare, and no one knows where Captain Free Sword managed to get his hands on it.

After becoming one with water, the pressure seemed to have vanished, and like a ripple, Jacob shot upward at full speed.

However, Jacob had underestimated the depth of the star ocean. The spirit water escape required a huge amount of spirit to activate, so after only five miles, Jacob ran out of mana, and his body appeared again, and he still couldn't see any trace of light.

Furrowing his brows, he begins to swim against the pressure while holding a magic gem and replenishing his mana.

Although he was strong, swimming under 500-G force was no joke, and he was exhausted after swimming for a few miles, and he was still nowhere near the surface. Jacob's heart sank as his mana was fully replenished, but he hesitated to use his ability again since it wasn't guaranteed he would be able to escape to the surface.

If anything, he might begin to fall down and reach the same point where he started. He only grasps the true severity of his situation; he is trapped!
