Cursed Immortality-Novel

"Is it completely destroyed?" Mathias asked. He narrowed his eyes in scrutiny as they shimmered in violet light. Despite the radiation mist, he could still see a little bit of the outline of his surroundings because of his power.

Ryan's expression was solemn, "There is nothing but water; if it's really destroyed, then that explosion really exploded quite closer to the territory's heart. But I still think it's impossible to completely destroy the heart since it's connected with the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain.

"That mountain is the Dead Faction's legacy treasure that they had refined using many precious materials and a lot of time, and it's connected with the territory's main island, the heart. Just like the legacy treasures in our factions' possessions as the last line of defense against complete eradication, it's almost impossible to destroy it with just a bomb unless it is far above the legacy treasure's rank.

"Still, wounding it would be very beneficial for us, and it would decrease Necro's absolute dominance in his territory by half. Whoever did this was really malicious." He stated with a hint of apprehension in his voice.

This kind of bomb was unheard of, and if someone could have more than one, and they were all launched in their territories without them realizing it, it would spell disaster for them.

They came here not only just to scout the Dead Faction's current condition but also to find clues about the weapon that had been used. As for suspecting Captain Free Sword behind this attack, although they had their suspicions, they didn't fully believe it.

If Captain Free Sword really had such a weapon, he could've easily threatened them all when he was being chased and could even launch one or two to show them his might.

But he was chased like a dog and even almost died, and he never revealed it, so they didn't believe that he had it.

Furthermore, they never thought that this weapon was made by someone because its power was simply too terrifying, and they all thought that someone had acquired it from some mysterious ruins or a no-return zone.

The star ocean was almost infinitely large, and even these factions who had ruled the unique plains for who knows how long can't say they had completely explored the star ocean. The further one goes, the more dangerous it is, especially the path of the higher-level plains; it is a path of certain death!Follow current s on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

But by any chance it was really Captain Free Sword, then by blasting this bomb, he would've certainly died as well, which would be very bad news for everyone, especially these leaders who wanted to go to higher plains and advance so they could prolong their lives.

It was fine if they didn't have hope, but the thing was, the Path of Legend was far more than just hope, so they were all extremely unwilling to give up on it, and that's why they were doing everything in their power to at least get Captain Free Sword's belongings. All they wanted was the key that could change their fates!

At this moment, in the dead silence of the radiation mist, they suddenly spotted a faint crimson glow like a lighthouse.

"It's the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain direction!" Ryan narrowed his eyes sternly.

"So, that bastard is still not dead. Let's see his miserable state. If he is at his last breath, I'll gladly put him out of his misery." Killing intent burst in Mathias's eyes.

As they moved forward, Ryan was paying attention to his surroundings and his expression changed slightly at this moment, "There is ground below us. It didn't destroy the heart completely!"

"So, what?" Mathias jeered, "The legacy treasures are connected with territories' hearts, which means the damage to the territory's heart would also damage the treasure. I don't believe that bastard managed to get out of it unscratched!"

They silently continued forward and finally reached the light, where they could finally see the silhouettes of the towering mountain.

At this moment, the silent Cayson finally spoke with squinted eyes, "I can sense there is something strange happening at the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain's peak. The mist in the air seemed to be drawing into it. What's going on?"

No one answers him since no one knows the answer to this question themselves. As peak figures of the unique plains, they can also sense the strange fluctuation emitting from the light.

Just as they were a hundred meters away from the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain, a sinister voice reverberated in the air filled with icy ridicule, "Oh, you guys came sooner than I'd anticipated!"

Mathias eyes flashed with hatred as he couldn't forget this voice, "Bastard Necro!" He gritted his teeth, saying his most hated enemy's name. He had lost many trusted generals and his brethren to this voice, and it was etched to his very soul.

"So, you're not dead, huh?" Ryan's expression also fell as he coldly said, "Tell me, did you manage to get the key? If you still remain stubborn, we don't mind finishing you off."

"Hahahaha…" Necro suddenly burst into maniacal laughter as his voice was filled with derision and a hint of chilly killing intent, "Finish me off? Are you worthy?"

At this moment, the crimson light suddenly intensified, and the whole mountain suddenly turned crimson like blood, and a bone-chilling aura filled with air. With it, a mountainous pressure descended.

"T-this aura… this power…" Cayson's peaceful expression broke into an appalled look as he couldn't calm down when he felt that suffocating aura.

Even Ryan and Mathias's expression took a full turn, and they became bewildered and appeared utterly disbelief as if they had just seen a ghost.

"Hahahaha…" Necro continued to laugh wantonly with dark relish as if he could see their expressions.

At this moment, a gigantic black phantom around thirty meters in size loomed over the flying boat; his eyes were burning with gray flames, and the aura it was giving off was hundreds of times stronger than the initial aura.

The dark phantom finally opened its maw, and it was filled with sharp crimson teeth, "I admit that I've underestimated that scoundrel, and he destroyed almost half of my empire. But it appeared the Dead God had given its blessing amid the disaster.

"Who could've thought that this mist could help the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain evolve above the Inception Legend Realm and become a Quasi Legend Treasure?

"As for why I'm telling you this, it's simple: since the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain is a Quasi Legend Treasure, I'll follow suit very soon. You should all wash your necks and wait for the Empire of Dead to start its Conquest of Death!"

Just as his eerie, magical voice trailed off, the phantom suddenly released pitch-black ethereal energy, and like a storm, it brushed past the flying ship.

When it disappeared, the ship and three soul puppets were completely gone, turned into oblivion.

"Captain Free Sword, if I don't torture you for eternity, I won't be the follower of Dead God!"
