Cursed Immortality



Jacob replied impassively, "It was an invisible pendant which I always believed to be there like a lucky charm, and it is the most important treasure I have!"

Jacob's reply was extremely strange to Masha, "What do you mean invisible good luck charm, like a ritual or something?" She asked coldly as she took the treasure from his hand.

However, she didn't feel any sort of pendant on the pile at all because the pendant instantly vanished from the pile when it left Jacob's hands and reappeared back on Jacob's neck, which was not even expected by Jacob himself.

"Hahahahaha… why so surprised? From day one, I told you this pendant can't leave you even if you want to leave it, not to mention after the Cursed Path Glory Gem was returned, it will never be going to leave your side even for a split second!"

Immortika's words made Jacob astonished as well as elated because this meant he didn't have to worry about anything at all!

"Yes, something like that," Jacob replied Masha with complete ease and no longer worried about her finding anything.

That storage ring was already changed with superficial rare treasures, and all the important stuff was in his pendant. Furthermore, this storage ring was specially prepared for this sort of situation by him.

"I'm inside her!" Autarch's voice rang in his mind at this moment while Masha disdainfully sneered at Jacob's childish mentality and started inspecting those treasures.

"Very good! Take your time. I want you to impersonate this woman even if I wasn't here, and then…" Jacob started to give keen instructions to Autarch while Masha was still skimming through his things.

Now that Autarch was in play, he no longer worried about anything else, and he could already see his freedom. Furthermore, this was a chance that will be going to cost Captain Free Sword dearly, and Jacob would have his revenge if everything went as planned!

Masha knit her brows tightly as she didn't find anything but trash inside Jacob's storage ring, and she looked at butt-naked Jacob standing there expressionlessly. But that uneasiness only intensified.

Nevertheless, Jacob was now completely clear, and his status as an 'ant' gave him massive leeway, so she threw those things back at him and coldly stared at Veilly, who's been looking at her this whole time.

"Get dressed and then remember these conditions. They should be enough for someone like you. They are laws that can't break no matter what, and the moment you break them, you have to alert us with no expectations!

"Now, get out of my way. It seemed little Veilly still had some tricks up his sleeve!" Masha coldly uttered with killing intent in her eyes and stood up from her chair, making her way toward Veilly.

She didn't even spare a second glance at Jacob because she was now fully convinced that Veilly was trying to do something to her so he could escape, and she won't allow it unless she wanted to end up like him herself!

Jacob felt a massive boulder lifted from his shoulders when Masha finally shifted her attention, and he was snickering in his heart maliciously as he picked up his things.

'Never underestimate even an ant, as it can be extremely deadly if it manages to find some tiny cracked in a massive building!' Jacob thought with killing intent.

Then he picked up that list which was filled with all sorts of rules, such as he had to report every week to them about his progress, or he couldn't even think of asking for someone's help or telling anyone that he was a slave.

This was like an air-sealed contract without any loophole, which also showed Masha's experience in doing this sort of thing.

Although Jacob was mentally immune to these so-called laws, his bodies weren't, and he had to be careful what he did, or even he won't know when his body betrayed him.

The most cumbersome condition was the moment he stepped on the Epic Plains, he had to continue to work toward getting his hands on that Unique Star Ocean Medallion, and his every move and action should be related to it.

This was going to be the biggest obstacle in free movements, but it wasn't that hard to overcome either because as long as he believed he was working on getting that Unique Star Ocean Medallion, it would be fine.

"HHHHAA!"

He suddenly heard a blood-curdling scream from behind, and he knew from the sadistic snickering that Masha was having a go on the Dark Elf because she should be feeling quite uneasy after an incident with Autarch.

This was proof of how superior a Unique Rank expert's reflexes were, and if Autarch was a tad bit slower, both of them would've been in that dark elf place.

Jacob pretended to be unbothered by whatever was happening and continued to read those conditions.

Fourteen hours passed, and Jacob was now really marveling at Masha's sadistic nature as she continued to torture that dark elf without any break, and she was even more excited than ever!

The strangest thing was that dark elf's stamina, as he didn't give in and fell unconscious after suffering so much torture. Or should it be one of Masha's tricks to keep him sane so he could feel pain and couldn't die!

At this moment, a knock was heard on the locked door of the lab before Harold's voice rang, "It's time!"

Masha finally snapped out of her mirth as that strange and uneasy feeling had now vanished, and she finally felt at ease again.

But the poor elf was now looking like a vegetable while his organs were filled with cuts, and blood was oozing, yet he was still alive!

Masha then quickly straightened her disheveled appearance and yelled, "Coming!"

"If you remember every word, let's go!" She coolly uttered as she moved toward the closed door, and Jacob's body moved again.

Jacob now only had one thought after spending those dark hours with Misha, 'I can't screw up a single thing until this woman is not out of the picture!'
