Cursed Immortality

It was Jacob's 7th hour since he had started the Water Meditation, and he got completely immersed in it like he was drunk.

However, at some point, Jacob felt a strange disturbance around, but it was so vague Jacob didn't break from that state.

But right at this moment, the entire water swirling around him trembled, and he abruptly opened his eyes in befuddlement before clearly returning to what he saw made his heart sink.

The water around him now continued faint color was red. He then saw a mutilated hand holding a sword smacked on the river bed when it entered the 70-G gravity around him, and it was just the tip of the iceberg as more flesh pieces started to sink.

When Jacob's eyes landed on the torn white robes worn by the mutilated body's owner, and a gray disc entered his vision, Jacob's blood ran cold as he instantly knew he was under attack!

Jacob didn't even have the time to think about when the attack started or how those guys reached their current state. Without hesitation, Jacob's heart rate climbed, and the next moment, he directly entered the 20X acceleration state as he was afraid that it might be already too late to run.

The 70-G gravity instantly became non-exist when he entered 20X acceleration and directly jumped out of the water like an arrow cutting through the water.

The moment he left the water, the water meditation broke and the gravity on him as well, and so did the water swirl as the river quickly regained its normal state, but for some reason, it wasn't flowing anymore.

However, Jacob didn't have time to pay attention since all his focus was on the three incoming blades from the front, and this time he could clearly see those guys as the eye sockets of his mask were now made with Electromagnetic Spectrum Glass.

This electromagnetic spectrum glass can help him see high and low electromagnetic waves or light, and this glass could not be created without plutonium.

In his 20X acceleration state, Jacob could only see some electromagnetic waves, mostly high, but with this glass, he could see almost invisible waves except for the gamma rays.

Simply put, now those guys, despite their stealth and all the magic skills, were as good as naked in front of Jacob. Unless they exist in some other dimension, they can't hide.

Furthermore, Jacob noticed that their attack formation seemed disrupted, and this gave him a chance to use the weapon he had drawn while the time he had jumped out of the water.

They were blade handguns with long muzzles, and they were filled with magic patterns.

'I never thought you guys would find me so soon and even dare to sneak up on me… but I come prepared this time.' Jacob's eyes were deadly cold as well as fury shone in them as he almost got assassinated again despite his countermeasure against these guys.

It hadn't even been a day, and he was already under siege, which was completely unexpected as well as frustrating since he was extremely careful this time, but he still missed these guys' tails.

Nevertheless, Jacob was ready for them, and he started to pull the trigger as those guys were only a meter away from him.

The three guys in front were encased in blue barriers, but the moment black bullets from Jacob's gun hit those barriers, they blasted apart, and the follow-up bullets directly landed on their shoulders and the next one on their heads.

In 20X acceleration, Jacob was too fast, and for some strange reason, Jacob felt he had even more control over his senses.

However, the danger was far from being over, as he clearly sensed four more people entering his God's zone. The guns in his hand twisted at an impossible angle before Jacob pulled the triggers in successions.

When the second passed,

'Boom (X42)'

Forty-two consecutive sonic booms rang in the vicinity while the bullet shells were falling into the river, and with those shells, lump bodies of those seven Iron Puppet Assassins with bullet holes in their heads and the discs.

Jacob was still continuing to rise because of his previous jump, but the fight was already over.

However, when Jacob thought exactly that, his heart palpitated as, without hesitation, he raised both guns in his head overhead like shields.

The very next instant, a lighting-fast black streak appeared out of nowhere and landed over his right gun muzzle.

The sheer impact of that black streak was so high, not to mention sharp that the Advance type-1 Titian handgun blasted into pieces, and Jacob was sent flying like a broker kite.

Furthermore, his mask also suffered a crack on its forehead. If he hadn't had those two things between his face, it would've been his skull that was either blasted apart or cracked; in both cases, he would've been dead.

Still, it didn't mean he was out of danger as his eyes quickly started to scan the vicinity where the black streak originated from while he tried to maneuver his body. He wasn't too injured since he didn't suffer direct damage. Only his hand was numb, and his wrist nearly got snapped.

But he knew finding the attacker was more important, and this guy was not like those seven who attacked him from close range. It was a long-range attacker.

However, Jacob was in for another shock when his body was directly smacked into some invisible barrier. He knew these guys had again put up some magic barrier to keep him away from running. This also explained that part of the river was static, not flowing as it should be.

Jacob finally noticed a lighting-like infrared streak, and he knew he had found the attack, but he was too fast and kept moving like a fly.

But it didn't mean he was going to let it have its way. Jacob quickly stabilized his falling body. The reaming gun in hand vanished, and as well he let go of the broken grip of the destroyed handgun.

Another black gun appeared. It was a black shotgun, and holding it in between his hand, Jacob instantly emptied it on the moving, lighting-fast Bronze Puppet Assassin.

Jacob had no intention to hit or kill it, as a matter of fact. Instead, he wanted just to slow it down because the moment he fired shots from the shotgun, it had already vanished the moment the bullets were fired, and the Titan Sniper had already replaced it!
