Cursed Immortality

Chapter 756: Reel in the Net (6)



The moment Asher activates the Soul Serving Formation with his true prowess, Jacob, who is going to attack again to break open the barrier, suddenly stops.

Jacob suddenly felt a dangerous Soul Force presence trying to infiltrate his body, and behind this terrible Soul Force was a strong suction force.

"Hey! Someone is trying to try to devour your soul!" Nyx's alarmed voice suddenly rang with a hint

of astonishment.

Since Cursed Immortality was in a summoning state, he naturally cut off Nyx's vision despite her strong protest, but now that his soul was being attacked, she was the first one to notice. After all, she was directly connected to his soul and also its defender.

"Can you defend it?" Jacob asked, trying to suppress that uneasy feeling.

Although Immortika had told Jacob that this was not dangerous, it was still his first time being exposed to a foreign soul force and attacked by it. He felt extreme nausea, and his mind seemed to be going out of his control while the most terrible thing was that his soul seemed to resist; the excruciating pain was far worse than the physical one.

If he hadn't endured the inhumane torture of the First Phase, he might've already lost consciousness, and another reason for his enduring was naturally Soul Force and Nightmare Dreamscape Realm.

But the power behind this attack and suction force was becoming stronger with each passing second.

"Of course, I can defend it. If it was before, it would be somewhat troublesome, but now... humph, my Nightmare Flame is no for show!" Nyx disdainfully declared.

"Then what are you waiting for!?" Jacob almost cursed as the pain was getting on his nerves.

"Because I can sense that this strange attack that is trying to devour your soul is actually a medium that leads to a Dreamscape Realm!" Nyx finally revealed the crux of the matter in a somewhat excited tone.

Despite the terrible mental pain, Jacob was shocked, and he didn't doubt Nyx's words since he knew when it came to the territory of Dreams, Nyx was without any doubt at the top.

"So, they are trying to drag my soul into a Dreamscape Realm? Why?" Jacob couldn't help but ask. His bloodshot eyes turned towards the figures behind that barrier. He could clearly see one of them was releasing a massive amount of magic energy that he had never seen before. He was directly connected to this formation, so it was pretty clear that he was the one controlling this formation. He was pretty sure this was someone with Soul Force.

He even tried to use his hex on him, but the hex seemed to have missed its target somehow, which implies that either this person was far out of the scope of his current hex or he had some kind of protective measure. He even suspects that this was because he couldn't 'see' the target clearly.

Whatever the case was, this discovery about this dreamscape realm was quite alarming.

"What do you mean why? Once you're in a powerful dreamscape realm, the owner can do as they wish. Just like you, they can also conjure anything. Unless you have a more powerful soul and defensive measures, you are as good as dead; it doesn't matter if you have a powerful body or not.

"Furthermore, they are trying to grab your entire soul, which means, once you leave your body, it will be completely at their mercy, and you can imagine what will happen if they directly destroy your body or place it in some place that restricts your return. You'll die all the same without your physical body, even if you manage to escape.

"The relationship between soul and body is as complex as the universe; at least, this is all I know from my current inherited memories." Nyx solemnly explained as she suddenly sensed something and coldly snorted, "Hmph, trying to increase power, but not enough!"

Jacob suddenly felt all the pain lessen by half as a cooling sensation started to tackle the soul force. He knew Nyx had finally taken action, and he was feeling far better than before.

Furthermore, he was somewhat fearful after hearing about Nyx's explanation and finally understood what these guys were planning to do. Since they know what kind of danger he poses, they are trying to kill or imprison his soul.

Even if it was only for a moment, if they managed to grab his defenseless body and then store it in something that could restrict his entry back to his body, then... just thinking about it made Jacob shudder as he was exposed to another kind of fatal danger.

"Now I know why I felt familiar with this Dreamscape Realm!" Nyx suddenly exclaimed with clear excitement.

"What do you mean? It's one of your 'farms'?" Jacob asked as he thought about her Nightmare Conqueror seeds. After all, he had her infect every treaty member with it, and he knew there were members of the treaty present in that group.

"No, it's no one of my farms. In fact, you've been there before and even gathered massive benefits; it's the Dark Battle Arena! I can sense it. I know this unique fluctuation that I will never forget! They can't hide it from me!" Nyx confidently explained.

Now, Jacob was really shocked. He knew about the unique situation of the Dark Battle Arena. It seemed to be a part of someone's dreamscape realm and was used as a farm to gather the souls of others. However, currently, this farm has no owner because of the rules of the Zodiac Plains.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Nonetheless, Jacob was already planning to try devouring it if he could, but he had never expected this Dark Battle Arena could be used like this as well. But all this time, he was using it to kill others as well, so it wasn't impossible for others to do the same.

But what baffles him is who could be the person who could control this place. Was the owner of the Dark Battle Arena finally here to claim it, or did someone use some kind of trick to borrow its power?

If it was the former, what kind of grudge he had against Jacob to take such a risk of exposing this galaxies-wild 'farmland,' and if it was the latter, then who could control the Dark Battle Arena without alerting the Dark Rose?

At this moment, Jacob suddenly thought about the visit to the mysterious 'Dark Prince' and his abrupt departure after spilling so many secrets. It all started to make sense to Jacob as his eyes shimmered with killing intent.

"Since you sound excited, I can assume you want to do something?" Jacob asked Nyx as his tone was filled with hidden rage and bloodlust.

"Hahaha, as expected of my Nightmare Contractor. Whoever is doing it, he didn't know he just

exposed the core of that Dark Battle Arena to me, and someone proficient in Dreamscape can easily infiltrate the core of a Dreamscape Realm because of this, especially if the certain someone is the Primordial Nightmare! Hehehehe!" Nyx laughed, filled with maliciousness, and hidden behind it was hunger, just like her master.

Jacob's eyes widened slightly before his lips curled up in a cruel sneer, and he knew what she was implying, "Do you know what you have to do, and I think you are Beast of Primordial Nightmare, not Primordial Nightmare."

"Shut up! You are the beast!" Nyx instantly flared up with gritted teeth as if someone had stepped on her tail, but she still quickly vanished after receiving Jacob's confirmation.

Jacob reacted as if he didn't hear it. The moment Nyx vanished in the suction force, he felt the foreign soul force in his body suddenly ejected, and he was finally free. It was clearly Nyx's

doing.

He knew she was holding it off because she wanted to use this 'channel' to infiltrate from the start, and now that it serves its purpose, there is no longer any need to keep it open.

Once Jacob was fully freed, he looked towards rats with dense killing intent, and his swords started to emit terrible plasma, like green flames!
