Cursed Immortality

Jacob merely chuckled before knocking down the three victims of Nyx. He had no intention of killing them until Nyx was done with them.

"So, how long would it take for you to devour their dreamscape realms and lifespan?" Jacob asked as he took control of the ship, which was actually a basic, unique rank ship!

"Hmmm… the seeds have already taken root in their dreamscape realm. The two short fellows would take around six or seven days, while the big fellow would only take around two or three days." Nyx replied with some uncertainty.

Jacob was surprised, "It only takes you half a day to devour a dark being's nightmare realm, and the same goes for the living the other day. But two days for this ogre and seven days for those dwarfs? Why is that?"

"I don't know. Those two dwarfs have stronger minds than that ogre thing." She replied hesitantly.

Jacob suddenly thought about something, "It might be because those two dwarfs are sorcerers and had awakened their spirit, while that ogre is an aura user. Don't tell me spirit also affects mind prowess?"

Jacob was startled when he thought about it, since he had been thinking about ways to increase his mental strength to use his eyes of judge. But it was far easier said than done, since even the witch palace didn't have such records.

So, he mused, he might find something in the unique plains. After all, the topic of mind and soul was extremely complex. But now, he suddenly thought about this possibility because the dreamscape realm was directly related to soul and mind.

The spirit users were those who were well versed in magic and research, while the aura users were more inclined towards battles and killing techniques. There was a clear reason for this discrimination between aura and spirit, and that might be related to cognitive prowess.

Although he didn't have proof, he might be able to confirm his theory with Nyx.

"Oh, the two categories of races you explained to me, the combatant and sorcerers, right? I don't know, but you might be right. Because he is clearly stronger than them, yet his mind is not. How about you found me more of such creatures so we can confirm this theory." Nyx excitedly said. She had turned into a hungry academic in two days, and she still liked gunsmithing the most, as it completely fascinated her to no end.

Jacob nodded, "Let's do this experiment with the epic rank races first in these upcoming few days. If this turns out to be true, then I think strengthening my dreamscape realm might also strengthen my mind. What do you think?"

"Of course, it would. Since your dreamscape realm is now merged with me, it would naturally affect your mind as well. The ability to resist negative mind effects is also related to this fact. If I get enough data, I can even begin experiments in the realm." She excitedly stated.

"Alright, once we're done here. I'm going back to the alive plains to finish some unfinished business. In the meanwhile, I'm going to lead their captain by the nose before I claim his life. Only then can we move towards the unique plains. It's going to be a long journey." Jacob stated his plan before he cut off Nyx's vision and began to eat those ogres without leaving anything.

Jacob had never expected that all that meat he bought would not be able to quench his hunger, and despite devouring everything, he was still thirty percent hungry.

Furthermore, the Wyvern's endurance was losing effect as he no longer felt lethargic but hungry again. This was clearly related to his growing power, and now he was going to be on the same rank as the endurance, so it would lose its effect.

Before, he planned to lead these ogres into the epic plains and use them to wreak havoc, but after he found that his second had been completed, and he had reached the final tier of the unique rank, he changed his mind and decided to use them as a very much needed food source.

Even though those ogres were far from the direct bloodline of legendary beings, they were still Uniques nonetheless, and his hunger greatly subdued while he was only an inch away from reaching twenty meters in height.

This was probably the only complaint he had now, his growing height. Right now, he was like a small walking mountain, and he was afraid his size would reach unimaginable heights, and he didn't know what to do or feel about it.

At this moment, he again thinks about the gluttony mask. Since he had mental immunity from Nyx now, he should be fine, but the thing was, he was still lacking the mystic signature.

Another thing worth mentioning is that now, with a hundred cubic meters of space in the infinity pendant, his hexes can be used against four epics and two Uniques, which gave Jacob the confidence to get rid of Captain Free Sword as long as he wished it.

That's why he no longer needed to scheme when he could overwhelm him with power. The only problem was now the Slave Rune, which was still in effect. Although he could resist a little now, it was still a hindrance as long as his magic ability didn't surpass Masha.

After feeding on those five ogres, Jacob dragged the three of the Nyx's victims into the basement and cut off their four limbs before closing their wounds by burning them. Strangely, they didn't react at all, as they were all sleeping peacefully. He knew Nyx was probably having the time of her life.

Once he left them, he dragged Harold and the Sixth Brother, named Anival, into the captain's cabin, which was a luxurious room. He used his hexes on them and put them in slumber for two reasons.

The first one, he wanted some information on Captain Free Sword and what they were doing here. Second, how did Captain Free Sword determine the second traitor's identity back then?

However, he knew once Masha was under Autarch's control, he would get all the information he needed, and Autarch would reach the epic rank as well. But it would still take more years, and Jacob wasn't going to wait, since Captain Free Sword might suspect something.

Thereafter, Jacob directly planted a few parasite gems into their skulls. He didn't have a unique rank one, and they wouldn't be enough to enslave them completely. But they were perfect to restrain them as long as he wouldn't give them a chance to take them out or gather their strength.

To achieve this, he punched right above their magic cores' positions and directly cracked them!

Once all the preparations were done, he sat comfortably on a couch and ended the hex.

The moment Harold and Anival's eyes opened, they went wide, and their faces turned pale as ghosts when deadly pain attacked their minds and bodies like a tsunami.

The next moment, horrifying screams rang in the calm ocean like wails of suffering souls in hell!
