"What are you doing!? There are only ten seconds left before the optimal time passes! He's still completely fine!" The Leader or the Golden Constant-51,117, also the Timeless City Lord of the mysterious Timeless City, finally loses his calm as he roars toward Asher after seeing Jacob standing there, and he starts to feel amiss because he can feel Jacob's icy gaze as if he could see them.

"I'm trying my best here!" Asher's frustrated voice, filled with indignation and disbelief, rang. "That bastard is resisting the Soul Severing somehow, and I'm using my full capacity of this body at this point!"

"Impossible!" Golden Constant-51,117 blurted as he knew what kind of existence Asher was, and even though he might not be able to escape Asher's true might unscratched, Jacob was resisting it.

'Boom!'

But before he could say anything, a powerful explosive sound followed by a powerful tremor appeared.

Diminutive's grave voice rang with a hint of panic, "He's finally using his aura and the barrier... there's a faint crack on it!"

His words instantly drew everyone's attention. They looked towards the place where Jacob had just attacked and saw two sword blades shimmering in green plasma-like flames. There were two faint cracks where the blades had just hit.

"Could it be I've underestimated his true capabilities?" Golden Constant-51,117 muttered with a solemn look on his face as he saw Jacob pulling back his swords, and he seemed ready for another attack.

Although this barrier stops Jacob from interfering with the formation, they also can't attack Jacob, and it also has a self-healing function. This entire barrier was created by one of the four most powerful legacy treasures in the Golden Constant-51,117's possession.

But now, Jacob was showing signs of breaking it, and Golden Constant-51,117 knew that if he wanted to maintain this treasure, even its self-healing ability, he needed to pay a huge price. Just maintaining it like this was already akin to pulling his flesh, and he was willing to pay the price as long as the formation succeeded. Yet now, Jacob was not only resisting the powerful soul-serving formation but was even showing signs of breaking this barrier, which was clearly not good.

Golden Constant-51,117 was unwilling to give up after coming so close, so he made a decisive decision. A cruel glint flashed past his eyes, and a dark golden cube filled with dark runic lines appeared above his palm.

"Everyone, please buy us some time." His words sent shivers to everyone because they knew something was wrong. Before they could react, six of them vanished from the barrier's protection and appeared right behind Jacob. Now, only the Golden Constant-51,117 and Asher were left inside the barrier.

Golden Constant-51,117 didn't react much as he used the cube to shrink the barrier again. The more people under its protection, the more energy it used, so he made the decision to get rid of the 'extras.'

He wanted them to distract Jacob so he could launch another of his trump cards. After all, they were his pawns to being with, and the 'oath contracts' they signed all have the clause about helping him to the best of their abilities until the 'target' was completely neutralized, and only then will he give them the rest of their promised rewards.

By sending them out, he wasn't breaking any clause of the contract because he wasn't directly harming them. They were 'free' to leave as long as they had the capability. Besides, he wasn't the one who personally signed those oath contracts at all!

He knew that even if they had space talismans or similar treasures, they couldn't breach past this barrier that originated from this cube since it completely sealed off this space from the rest of the world unless they had a true Fable Legendary Rank Treasure!

Even Diminutive, who has talent in space, can't go past this barrier despite awakening his soul force. That's why Golden Constant-51,117 was secretly freaking out when he saw Jacob left cracks on this barrier which could only mean that his power has infinity close to the Fable Legendary Rank, and decided to show his true colors by sending those cannon folders out to do their job.

Jacob was also startled when six of the eight figures inside the barrier suddenly vanished and appeared a few meters behind him. He immediately gave up on breaking the barrier since he needed to get rid of these six first. He also saw his enemy's plan to distract him, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Those six cloaked figures wanted to curse their 'Leader' and even wanted to attack him, but they knew they needed to keep their lives first to seek revenge.

"Everyone, don't panic; as long as we attack him together we..." Before Miss 70,469 could complete her gallant speech, she felt alarmed because Jacob's blades were already reaching towards the midget, Diminutive's head, and she thought, "Too fast!'

In this entire group, Jacob knew he needed to get rid of the goblin Diminutive first because of his troublesome space abilities, and he already knew how to deal with him. Furthermore, Jacob knew that Diminutive wasn't at his peak state because Nyx had not only devoured his dreamscape realm, but before doing it, she had tormented the goblin in his dreams so much that he didn't dare to sleep, and he even suspected that he was eyed by a powerful enemy.

Yet no matter what the goblin did or who he sought help from, no one seemed to understand his plight. They even snickered at him for being a coward, and all he could do was grit his teeth. If not for the vile contract he had signed before, he would've never participated in this mission because he suspected and was 90% sure that his strange 'Illness' was all because of Jacob.

Now, that person finally showed his true color, and he also became Jacob's first target before he could even escape. All he wanted to do was kill that guy who dragged him into this while also cursing himself for being too greedy.

Without hesitation, in fact, of the crisis of life and death, Diminutive chooses to use his full power to flee!

But right at this moment, just when he was about to use his 'Space Shift' ability, he suddenly felt a strange tiredness wash over him and become languor, which made the goblin extremely alarmed because two swords were about to pierce through his head and heart, why the hell wanted to sleep all of a sudden.

But alas, he had no idea that after Jacob's hex magic core upgraded, he could use it on Legendary Ranks powerhouses as long as he had the Hex Mana for it. At his current level, although he didn't have that much mana, he could still use it on one Quasi Legend, and Diminutive happened to be the 'lucky one' that Jacob selected!

As the goblin lost his final sliver of consciousness, he felt something sharp stabbing into his head and chest before he fell into eternal slumber.

This is how the cunning goblin, who has been alive for almost 10,000 years and has been scheming and planning for his debut in the Legendary Plains, died, all because of his greed

and jealousy!
