Cursed Immortality

"Fighting Giant Spirit? Is its magic-related ability like the Fluid Acceleration?" Jacob couldn't help but question with shining eyes as this physical aspect clearly sounds like the Fluid Acceleration, which could grow with his innate prowess.

Furthermore, by how exaggerated Immortika was, he was now quite excited about getting this physical aspect, which was clearly a huge help to him, like the fluid acceleration.

"Yeah, you can put it like this. But unlike the gentle fluid acceleration, in comparison, the Fighting Giant Spirit is a tyrant!

"Not only will your body continue to increase in size with every substantial power boost, but it will turn into a weapon of mass destruction once you really start to tap into the Fighting Giant Spirit when you reach the Unique Rank Physically.

"All I can tell you is this ability is purely related to combat, and the more you fight, the more you'll be able to tap into Fighting Giant Spirit. It's like an unexplored treasure trove you need to explore if you want treasures.

"Right now, you're physically epic-tier-6, and you can increase your fluid acceleration up to 30X now! Your entire power anatomy has been changed. Now, when you reach 35%, you'll be as strong as an Epic-tier-9 combatant physically.

"This is just how powerful your new body is, and it will continue to become more powerful! You can even think of this body as a perfect match for your fluid acceleration!

"I have to admit, that little giant really had a powerful ancestor that he had traces of Fighting Giant Spirit in his bloodline, and you ended up awakening it. I wonder if those guys will come after you even more strongly if they learn it. Hahaha!"

Jacob's eyes grew larger from this unexpected surprise. Although Immortika's explanation was still ambiguous, it still revealed enough for Jacob to understand what kind of aspect he had just awakened.

Even if he would turn into a giant, it was worth it as long as he could become powerful. As for the last part, he merely snorted since he killed Frugal, knowing what sort of background he had.

But Immortika wasn't done,

"Hehehehe, but when there are benefits, there are also disadvantages, and for you, the only disadvantage is adaptability, like you need to consume more from now on, and the more you grow, the hunger will grow with it.

"Oh, other than that, I think you should know that if another giant who had awakened the Fighting Giant Spirit appeared into a certain range of you, he would go for your life with everything he had! Hahahaha!"

Jacob's expression fell the moment he read at this point, and that sadist laughter gave him the chills as it was clear it wasn't joking.

"Why?"

"If I told you everything, where's the fun in that? Besides, this is as far as I can tell you. Hihihihi…"

Jacob's expression greatly clouded as he knew the cursed book was playing him again. But he knew nothing could be done anymore, so he could only suppress his seething rage.

Still, he got to know about his new physical aspect, which was far more terrifying than the Wyvern's Endurance. Now, he had to adapt to his new body and increase in strength.

"So be it. At least I didn't learn to control this ability like the fluid acceleration. Just tell me if there is any danger behind that door?" Jacob pursed his lips as he moved towards the door. He was planning on ending it all today and then start getting comfortable with his body.

"Nothing is there, for now at least, hehe," Immortika replied without committing to Jacob's new aspect anymore, as if it had completely forgotten it.

After getting Immortika's confirmation, Jacob crossed the door and appeared in the death maze, which appeared the same as ever, and opened the map to find his current location.

He quickly found where he was and then marked the closest inheritor checkpoint to his position. His lips suddenly curled up as he muttered, "Let's see how fast I can run!"

'Boom!'

A small shockwave was created the moment Jacob moved, and the ground where he stood was cracked. He instantly picked up momentum and felt strong wind pressure on his face. He could already tell he was at least twice faster than yesterday, and he was still not giving it his all.

Furthermore, he thought he would feel uncomfortable and might feel restricted or slow because of his size, but that wasn't the case at all. He was still fast, and his reflexes were even more refined and shaper.

'No wonder giants are considered strongest in any plains. Without my hex magic, I might not be a match of both brother and sister one-on-one, even if I gave it my all. I also need to change my swords now. They are too short for my size and should learn combat-related water magic…' Jacob already started making his plan for his new body as he picked up the pace.

However, when he was halfway towards the inheritor checkpoint, he sensed a strange sensation like never before and stopped around a corner with a frown, 'What is this… I feel excited?'

The next moment, Jacob suddenly took a step back when a dark phantom suddenly emerged out of nowhere, right in front of him. It was three meters tall and wore a tattered cape; while two blazing sights were raging under its dark hood, it was holding two chipped swords in its bonny hands as it remained motionless in front of Jacob.

"Oh, an Epic-tier-8 Shadow Wraith, now that's a rare dark being."

However, Jacob didn't have time to ask for its weakness because he suddenly sensed goosebumps from the back of his neck, and without hesitation, he ducked.

'Swish…'

The next moment, a sharp wind whistled, and there was the blade of a chipped sword right where Jacob's neck was at this moment, and that blade struck him from within the darkness!

Jacob instantly turned toward the Shadow Wraith and saw one of its sword blades was pierced into dark mist.

'Dark Magic!' Jacob's expression turned grim as that attack was extremely accurate and fast, and he didn't even hear any spell chant, which meant this Shadow Wraith had the ability of silent casting at least.

But still, for some reason, Jacob again felt excited as his entire body tingled, wanting him to lunge on that Shadow Wraith and tear it apart.

At this moment, Immortika wrote something on the book page. Still, it quickly disappeared, "Hehehehe… a newly awakened Fighting Giant Spirit bearer can't resist the urge to fight a stronger opponent no matter the strength difference. That's why most of them are dead because they court death themselves like lunatics. If they can't control this urge... how amusing… Hehehe!"
