Cursed Immortality-Novel

Chapter 455 The Final Checkpoint

After getting burnt by Immortika, Jacob, with a dark expression, moved towards the first scroll on the left, Bone Eater Imprecate!

Although these imprecates were horrifying, he knew his hex magic core wasn't normal either. If this were dangerous, Immortika would've left behind an ambiguous clue. It was even so subtle, but he knew the cursed book couldn't help itself.

So, in the end, Jacob, in the light of his recent power-up and discovery about the hex magic core nullification effect on previous imprecate, decided to go for it and opened the Bone Eater Imprecate Magic Scroll!

The very next moment, Jacob suddenly heard faint whispers. Still, only for a moment, and the next thing he knew was his mind going blank before he found himself in a dark place, lying inside a sticky substance, and something or things were trying to penetrate his body!

A terrible, terrible feeling of pain and despair suddenly hit him, but the very next moment, that illusion shattered like glass, and the dark membrane around Jacob's eyes cleared up while the scroll in his hand was still turning into dust.

But the thing was, Jacob was drenched in cold sweat, and breathing was hurried while he knew only a second or two had passed.

'I was drawn into that illusion in an instant! Just how powerful these Imprecate Magic Scrolls are? If not for my hex magic core, I don't think I can survive, whatever that thing was!' Jacob felt a few chills coursing through his spins as the fear lingered in his eyes.

"Oh, 4.3 seconds, no bad. Someone could've easily been killed with this time. Hehehehe!" Immortika wrote in relish.

Jacob's expression grew paler. He didn't retort because he knew Immortika was stating the fact. If he ever encountered an enemy like the Witch Queen Margret, who can use imprecate magic, he knew he would be long dead without even knowing the cause.

Just like how his opponents would meet a certain doom under his hex magic.

'The curse magic is becoming more and more ridiculous…' Jacob thought as he moved toward the next scroll with a hint of fear.

But he wasn't entirely afraid since now that it was confirmed he could break free from these spells and no one was there to attack him, he didn't need to worry and focus on passing this last checkpoint.

After picking Bloody Imprecate Magic Scroll, he opened it while preparing for another strange spell effect.

However, to his surprise, nothing seemed to happen, and soon after, the scroll started to turn into dust particles.

Jacob thought he had missed something, but he was completely fine. Then he looked at Immortika, and his eyes instantly narrowed.

"Oops, did I forget to mention that Blood Imprecate directly affects the heart to stop the bloodstream? But you know what kind of heart you had, so this kind of insignificant spell will not even skim the Cursed Heart, much less control it. Hehe…"

"You biblical bastard!" Jacob said through gritted teeth. He knew Immortika deliberately did it so it could get a kick out of watching him all anxious, and when he saw the maniacal laughter filling the page after he cussed, he knew he was right.

In the end, he controlled his raging fury since there wasn't a point in wasting his breath on a lunatic. He picked up the last scroll and the most dangerous one among the three, the Evil Cannibal Imprecate Magic Scroll.

He was still afraid of this imprecate spell despite knowing his immunity to curses.

'Let's get it over with!' Jacob's eyes shone with conviction, and he opened the magic scroll.The link to the origin of this information rests in (f)ire

The next moment, he heard the mysterious whisper again, and the next thing he felt was hunger! A hunger so terrifying that he could eat everything, and he was very familiar with this sort of feeling.

It was just that it's been a while since he had experienced it because after he got the Wyvern's Endurance, all he felt was sleepy whenever he was hungry.

But this feeling was something he would never forget, and he chuckled in mockery as he showed full control over his body despite the urge to eat his own self, "Heh, and here I was afraid of this spell. In comparison, this is nothing in front of the real curse I got from you!"

Jacob looked at cursed immortality with cold eyes as it began to laugh even more manically, clearly enjoying Jacob's intense gaze.

The next moment, Jacob felt a strong reaction from his hex core, and the next moment, that hunger started to fade away while the scroll turned into dust. But Jacob's eyes were affixed on Immortika.

At this moment, the static voice rang,

"Witch Palace System detects the Bone Eater Imprecate, Bloody Imprecate, and Cannibal Imprecate has been successfully removed!

"Time taken: 13 seconds!

"Participant Viper has gone beyond the Witch Queen's expectation!

"You have been rewarded with 20 Inheritor Points!

"Participant Viper now has a total of 118 Inheritor Points!"

"The prerequisites of the Witch Palace Inheritance Grounds have been completed by Participant Viper!

"Congratulations! As the final reward set by the Witch Queen, you are granted full control over the Witch Palace!

"Inheritor, Faery Human, Viper, your life signature has been recorded successfully, and the Master Authority has been completely surrendered by Witch Palace System to Inheritor Viper!

"The transfer process has been completed!

"The final projection recording of the previous owner has begun to play as the final command of Witch Queen!"

Jacob was surprised because everything went too smoothly. Truth be told, he was expecting some backstab by the Vile Witch or some other excuse. But to his surprise, for the first time since he had come to this world, things actually went smoothly and without any betrayal or hidden tricks.

He even felt somewhat uncomfortable by it and looked at the projection of the Witch Queen with full-on high alert as he thought that it might be it. But what he heard next was completely out of his wildest expectations!
