Cursed Immortality

Chapter 640 When thieves fall out...

Jacob quickly appeared a few hundred meters below the peak of the snow mountain and stopped his advance, as he was now extremely close to the sources of the powerful energy blasts.

Despite the fog, Jacob clearly saw the battle taking place. Well, calling it a battle was an understatement because it was more like a war!

A huge snow-white wolf with purple horns over its head was clashing against a white fox with two tails with a shade of ash gray. Besides these powerful magic beasts were their underlings, slightly smaller than them, ripping each other apart.

It was a full-blown bloody war between the two mighty magic beasts, and both sides were heavily injured.

The wolf with the aura of beyond unique rank has a chuck missing around its neck, and the ghastly wound is frozen with a layer of ice. On the other hand, the fox had a claw mark on its forehead, and it was patched with a gray icy layer.

Both magic beasts were ice element type, and they seemed to be filled with hatred for each other.

Jacob had no intention of interfering. He was observing from a safe distance, with a thievish glint in his eyes, as he watched both magic beasts launch physical and magical attacks on each other while the underlings were doing their best to mascara each other.

But suddenly, Jacob's eyes caught a glimpse of something unusual not too far away from the battlefield. There seemed to be an entrance to a cave, and he could see dense purple particles emitting from the entrance.

'That's the same color I saw around that thing in the sky!' Jacob's mind raced as he couldn't help but reassert the situation.

After observing for a while, he found that those magic beasts were avoiding that cave, and from time to time, they would glance at it, especially the white fox, whose eyes were filled with greed and mad desire.

This confirmed his conjecture that those two were not fighting out of grudge but because of that cave, which piqued his interest!

Still, he wasn't in a hurry to investigate and watched the battle unfold as now those two overlords were filled with injuries and bloody wounds.

"Awooo!"

The white wolf let loose a bloodthirsty howl, and a huge amount of white ice mana began to gather in front of his maw!

"Roar!"

The fox's eyes were filled with killing intent as it suddenly arced its two tails in the direction of the wolf, and ice mana began to gather on the tails' tips.

The next moment, almost simultaneously, both of them shot white beams at each other; those powerful magic spells clashed, and powerful ripples spread through the battlefield.

They didn't seem to care about those underlings as those who were gravely wounded directly blasted apart before turning ice statues, and even Jacob, who was a few hundred meters away, took a step back and felt freezing energy drilling into his body.

'They are definitely in three steps of legend ranks. Strangely, the particles emitting from them are still dark blue or a slightly darker shade. Maybe they are Beyond Unique Rank…' Jacob mused as he circulated the fire mana within his body to get rid of the cold.

The fox seemed to have the upper hand in this power clash as after wrestling with the wolf's ice beam for a second, the fox's ice beam started to push the wolf's spell back.

The wolf's eyes were filled with unwillingness and fear, as it had lost too much blood and mana. At this moment, the wolf couldn't take it anymore, and its spell broke before it caught a huge amount of blood. Yet it wasn't its concert for the moment, for the fox's ice beam directly landed on its face!

"Roar!"

The fox roared with madness, and with bloodshot eyes, it put everything in this spell, clearly wanting to finish this contender once and for all!

The life in the white wolf's eyes finally faded as it turned into an ice statue, dying of unwillingness and hatred.The underlings all met with the same fate, and those who had any chance of survival were now turned into ice statues.

The fox's aura visibly plummeted when it stopped the spell and vomited blood while panting heavily. Its body was riddled with wounds, yet the mirth in its eyes was visible as if everything it sacrificed was worth it.

But right at this moment, the fox's listless eyes winded in horror as the fur on its back stood in alarm. It was at its peak state; it might've reacted sooner, but now it was almost on the verge of death.

That's why, when a sword pierced through its skull, it wasn't able to react in time and died without even looking at the killer.

Jacob's figure appeared out of thin air. He had a cruel smile on his face and muttered, "When thieves fall out, honest men come by their own…"

Without wasting time, he directly stowed away the fox's corpse in his ring and then moved towards the frozen wolf and stowed it away as well. Furthermore, he wasn't planning on wasting peak unique rank frozen meat around him either, so he gathered what he could, and from those who were in pieces, he collected their magic cores.

This was a huge profit, especially with those two Beyond Unique Rank corpses. At this level of existence, these were all highly respected figures of the three factions, so Jacob was very pleased to get their meat by almost doing nothing.

But Jacob knew this wasn't the only gain. As he finally headed towards the cave, he compelled these powerful magic beasts to fight each other to death.

The entrance of this cave was only six meters in size, making Jacob frown since he couldn't fit in, and he hated his height for this exact reason. Still, this didn't stop him from crawling in like a caterpillar.

Just by standing in front of this cave entrance, he felt his mind and energy cry with joy. He also didn't feel any sense of danger from inside, so he entered without hesitation.

The cave wasn't too deep, only around thirty meters, and Jacob already spotted the 'thing' within the edge of the cave.

It was actually an exotic plant, glowing in a beautiful violet color, and dense purple particles were emitting from it. Just by getting close to it, Jacob felt something stir within the depth of his soul and instantly wanted to devour it!

Jacob didn't touch it and used his soul force to envelop it gently, but the moment his soul force came in contact with the exotic violet plant, his mind trembled as powerful icy energy directly attacked his mind, almost making him groan in pain.

However, before he could retract it, something even more astonishing happened: the plant suddenly turned into violet haze and was directly absorbed into his soul force!

Jacob felt as if someone had poured liquid nitrogen directly into his brain. His skin turned purple, and frost began to appear all over his body. Soon, he was turned into a violet ice sculpture!
