Cursed Immortality

Chapter 585 Ghost Insects (2)



After leaving the research island, Jacob directly headed to the east on his flying disc.

Although he managed to farm more than four thousand unique rank dark beings they were far from enough, and for some strange reason, he was feeling uneasy.

A few hours later, he found another dead island but unlike any other islands, this place was well guarded. Even at the edges of the island, Wraiths and Liches guarded the perimeter without leaving any gap for an intruder's entry.

'This should be the military dead island under the Aura Dead King's command. But this security is far from the information I've gathered. This could only mean they are now well-guarded against me and completely serious. I wonder if the faction leader had gotten involved or not.

'If the Dead Faction Leader is stronger than the five dead kings, then he might be at the second step of legend, and his means should be unfathomable. If he comes after me, I don't know if my stealth will work against him. There are more than 50% chances that it won't…' Jacob mused as he was getting this strange unease for a while now, which originated from his survival instincts.contemporary romance

Although it might be just because of the environment, Jacob didn't dare to ignore this feeling since the last time he got this sort of feeling from Captain Free Sword when he was captured.

The hex-core is far from evolution, and he knew the Dead Faction wasn't going just to let him continue as he pleased. He had already killed and plundered some of their best facilities, and even Wrath Dead King couldn't find him.

So, after the research island, he was sure that the Dead Faction would be fully prepared, and if he started to kill in this place, the deception he created on the research island would not hold the Dead Faction back.

After mulling over the gravity of this situation, Jacob finally hesitated as he hovered above the island without descending. The path of legend experts finally spooked him, and he was unwilling to test his luck.

'I should've learned the Noble Spirit Flames since it had an extremely poisonous effect on the dark beings. But I chose to create the Aura Glyph of Fire instead of Spirit Glyph…'

Jacob lamented when he thought about the Noble Spirit Flames scripture that he got from the top of the fire pyramid in the epic plains. This scripture has excellent healing properties, and it was the bane of the dark beings.

But he chose the Aura Fire over Spirit Fire because it was extremely potent in combat, and he also had the water mana, which was gentle in nature, and it was its healing properties were far stronger.

So, he decided to give up on the Noble Spirit Flames since they didn't have any practical use, and he was already immune to negative effects. But now he was somewhat regretting it.

However, his choice was correct and gave him long-term benefits since his enemies weren't restricted to just the Dark Beings.

Right at this moment, when he was still going through an internal struggle, a chill went down his spine as he suddenly felt a strange danger from his left side.

"Cursed Immortality!"

Without hesitation, he summoned Immortika, "Who is strongest in this area?" He hastily asked as he was gawking at the mist; he still didn't see anything, but that feeling of danger was getting closer.

So, he didn't dare to stand still and took out the flying boat of the federation. He had already gotten rid of the tracker and dropped it in the middle of the dead faction territory's sea so that those guys would draw here.

Now, it was completely safe, but he wasn't using it since it burned magic gems, and the gray disc was more practical. It was also his trump card when he needed to flee.

So, now sensing the incoming danger, he used it without hesitation and released the ogre puppets to control it.

Only then did he looked at Immortika's reply, "Your fleeing skills are improving, I guess the fighting giant spirit would not go in vain after all. Hahahaha…"

Seeing the familiar disgusting laughter and bullshit written on the page, Jacob's expression went dark, "Just the answer to the freaking question!"

Right at this moment, Jacob suddenly looked back, and his expression changed when he saw a crimson gray cloud approaching him, and the danger he was sensing was coming from it.

"How impatience… alright, since it seemed a good show is about to start, I'll tell you. That cloud you're seeing is actually thousands of insects called the Life Bane Borers, ranked 100th on the list of Fantastic Insects! They are also called Ghost Insects because of a ghost-like image on their shell!

"A ghost insect can only be born within the environment with potent death energy, and they have only one ability or natural trait, Life Bane. Life Bane as the name suggest is bane of all life, the Ghost Insect can devour life force from anything and that's how they grow.

"Their ability to seek food (Life Force) is top-

notch, and they can sense life force from thousands of miles distance. The ghost insect can directly bite off the life force of any living being no matter what kind of defense or armor they have, and they also release a spiritual toxin directly into their victim's spirit or soul.

"But a signal Ghost Insect can't pose a threat to anyone. Even in the same rank, the Ghost Insect can't do anything to its victim once found unless the latter is a retard. However, if you add thousands of them, then it's another story.

"Because their biggest advantage is their ability to reproduce and with enough life force they can multiply in thousands or even millions within few months. That's why whenever a Ghost Insect is spotted in any region rich with life force, they are immediately purged.

"Now, you are being chased by 7,483 Ghost Insects, and they are all at the peak of epic rank, and even for you, they are too many. Their only weakness is Lightning and Fire.

"However, even with a lighting or fire barrier, they can still bite off life force, and to kill them at epic rank, you need the temperature around 10,000 Celsius Degree. Even with your Fire Aura, which should be around 8 to 9 thousand Celsius degrees, you are no match for them, so it's a fool earned to confront them.

"Hahahaha… those dark beings really took you seriously, even dared to unleash those ghost insects. If they managed to break into unique ranks, they would be able to devour their dead flames, dark beasts, and dark flora all the same. They are really daring to rear a tiger despite being rabbits!" Immortika laughed manically.

However, Jacob had no mood to jeer at the Dark Beings' daring, as all this information was enough to spook him.

Seeing the cloud of Ghost Insects getting closer while the ship still needed time to accelerate, his heart palpitated, and he was about to take out something to get out of this mess when a ghostly voice filled with queer rancor rang.

"Captain Free Sword, surrender, and I'll spare your vain life!"
