Cursed Immortality
Chapter 819: Wisp of Capricorn!

Looking at the black page thoughtfully, Jacob asked Immortika, "So, my infinity blood is worth 1,500 years?"

"Hehehe, for now, yes. But as you become more powerful, the worth of your blood increases even more. Didn't I tell you have 98,999,901 drops of Cursed Blood and 1,000,099 drops of Cursed Bone Marrow? At a certain point, each of your blood drops will be worth a year and even surpassing it!

"Moreover, the amount of lifespan here is purely from your cursed blood, not the marrow, because your bone marrow isn't in your bones but in your cursed heart now. You can even call it 'Heart Blood' if you want.

"Anyhow, the important thing is, you can't use your Cursed Bone Marrow because it is the foundation of your bloodline of infinity and also the medium to use the infinity blood sacrifice. Suppose you lose even a sliver of it. In that case, you won't be able to use this ability until you recover it, and I'm not exaggerating when I say a single drop of your cursed blood marrow is akin to all the cursed blood in your longevity schema!"

Jacob's eyes contracted in tiny beams of flames as he was shocked when he heard this information. He hadn't forgotten about this fact because he was very angry that time when he found out about this.

But now, it seemed he still couldn't grasp the Cursed Bone Marrow's true importance. Furthermore, he also suspects that the new position of his cursed heart was also because of this particular reason. After all, even a sliver of bone marrow loss can render his ability useless. So, it needed to be safe all the time, and what better place to keep it safe than his own soul?

'I was collecting all the blood I could use it in emergencies like this. But I don't think it's enough to regenerate all the cursed blood I'll lose if I used the first option. Still, it'll save me 1500 years, but the downside is I'll be weaker, and in this place, I can't afford to be weak…' Jacob mused.

"How should I choose the second option?" Jacob asked.

"Just think about it and then say the magic words."

Jacob nodded before he coldly stated, "Carry through!" The moment Jacob uttered the command, the black page in front of him suddenly lit up, and he felt something deep within suddenly stirred before it vanished, making him feel momentarily lightheaded.

The next moment, Jacob suddenly sensed the surrounding space wrapped abruptly, and he was sucked into darkness without any resistance. Once the space stabilized and Jacob was freed from that unknown force, he found himself surrounded by oppressive darkness, masking any sense of direction or presence.

It was an unsettling quiet that made even the softest breath feel like a thunderclap in his ears. The cold, black void stretched endlessly around him, making the atmosphere thick with anticipation.

But Jacob didn't pay any attention to it as he quickly glanced at the cursed book in front of him that were still opened. The black page on the cursed immortality has vanished after serving its purpose. But what Jacob wanted to see was his lifespan.

_____

-Lifespan: 895,350 Years (All Youthful)

_____ Jacob sighed at the lifespan deduction, but before he could dwell on it, suddenly, without warning, the chamber burst to life. Arcs of blue-white lightning crackled through the air, illuminating the towering walls around him. They revealed massive murals, each one depicting scenes of storms, lightning strikes, and powerful entities wielding the fury of thunder.

Jacob knew he was in the Tower of Capricorn's final trial space when he saw the murals and the thunder's presence in this place because Capricorn represents the element of thunder/lightning! He looked at the first mural which was a celestial event filled with endless storm of astral thunder and shaped like a cocoon and in the next moment, the cocoon was shown blasted apart like a lightning bomb and a silhouette of a creature was in admits of it.

The second mural shows an image of a goat entirely made with neon thunder, giving the sense of destruction and boundless might.

The murals pulsed with energy, as if the storms they depicted were alive, preparing to tear through the room. Jacob could feel the immense power in the air, the hum of lightning filling the space with an electrifying tension.

But Jacob's eyes narrowed when he saw the next mural which showed the dark humanoid silhouette seemed to be in battle with the embodiment of thunder, Capricorn.

'Just who is this? This person is in every Zodiac's mural, and it's always fighting them? And why are the remaining images being blurry again? What kind of existence is this that could fight toe to toe with Taboo Entities that probably represent the very essence of the universe?

'Furthermore, with how those Zodiacs reacted to me and how that damn book is encouraging me to complete the Legendary Master Key, I suspect that this dark silhouette is Immortika.

'But it's too big of a speculation since these Zodiacs might react the same towards any holder of the Universal Godly Scripture…' Jacob thought as he coldly looked at the dark silhouette.

Although Jacob might have shown no reaction, he had his own thoughts and doubts about all the events that had taken place in the Path of Legend. First, all the Zodiacs acted as if they knew him or something within him, and the only thing he had was Cursed Immortality.

The second thing that ticked Jacob off was that every Zodiac sign said something except Virgo, and he knew those messages weren't for him since he couldn't understand them at all.

Lastly, Immortika confirmed that it has something to do with the Zodiacs. But the thing was, Immortika was the Universal Godly Scripture and the highest existence in it, so it makes sense if these Zodiacs knew about it and were respectful of it.

But Jacob was still not satisfied, and he knew that once he left this place, it was time to search for more information about the Universal Godly Scriptures.

At this moment, Jacob looked in the center of these murals, where a haunting image of Capricorn—a beastly figure, half humanoid, half goat, with jagged horns that resembled the strikes of lightning itself. Its eyes glowed with the same energy, casting a fierce, ethereal light.

As the murals flickered with life, a figure began to materialize before him. First came the horns—thunder antelope horns, sharp and jagged, crackling with electric arcs.

Then, the rest of the Wisp of Capricorn took shape: a humanoid phantom, its head the visage of a goat with glowing, storm-filled eyes. Its translucent body seemed made of condensed thunderclouds, and sparks of electricity danced across its form, snapping and crackling with raw power.

The Wisp stood tall and imposing, the embodiment of thunder itself. The surrounding air vibrated with each step, and the chamber's very foundation seemed to tremble under its presence.

But unlike previous Wisps, the Wisp of Capricorn suddenly released its mighty pressure on Jacob, filled with destructive intent, startled Jacob. Jacob instinctively steadied himself as he knew something was wrong. His guess turned out to be spot on when the Wisp of Capricorn suddenly threw a lightning-fast punch!
