"I can't use my power! What did you do? Who are you!?" Zodiac Enforcer's voice echoed again, filled with disbelief and trepidation.
If the Zodiac Enforcer was arrogant and confident, this sudden turn of events completely robbed the Zodiac Enforcer of it. This was simply imaginable, and now Zodiac Enforcer was really starting to wonder just who this giant was and why he pretended to be this weak if he had such a power. More importantly, how could he exist in this place? It was impossible, and unlike Furcas, there didn't seem to be any trick in play here.
The biggest thing that made Zodiac Enforcer afraid was that he couldn't use his power at all. It was like it was completely sealed, and it couldn't move anymore, as if the time had been stopped for Zodiac Enforcer.
Immortika's eerie laughter suddenly stopped, but the massive grin on Jacob's face, which almost seemed ghastly, was still there. Immortika completely disregarded Zodiac Enforcer and looked towards Furcas, who was in the same situation, and his dismissive expression was now filled with confusion and never-seen terror.
"Furcas, the most powerful of the Hell Knights, calling you a King of Hell Knights won't be wrong." Immortika seemed to be praising Furcas, but the latter's expression became even more shocked when his identity was suddenly exposed. Immortika was clearly far from done.
"But why are you such a scaredy-cat, huh? Why do you only bring 10% of your true soul here? Don't think that you can hide it from me; that lesser demon body was enough for you to bring at least 30% of your true soul here, so what gives?
"Tsk, tsk, if that's all you've resolved to claim a Sacred Scripture or Sacred Artifact, then let me tell you, it's NOT Enough. Not cool, man, not cool, you are sullying the integrity of all the Hell Knights and Dark Beings!"
Furcas was even more shocked and felt like his entire existence was exposed in front of this giant at this moment. Furthermore, at this moment, he finally noticed something, and he was absolutely horrified.
"Y-YOOU!"
"Hhahahahahaha…" Immoritka suddenly burst into laughter again, likely the Hell Knight's expression very much, "I know, I know, your connection to your main body is now gone. But you don't need to worry my man; I'll take good care of you. Just a pity that it's only 10%. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.
"But consider the plus point here; all the memories in this part of your soul can't be transformed back to your main soul anymore, and if you perish, your main soul won't even know why such a huge chunk of your soul suddenly gone missing. Hehehehe, isn't that funny?"
Although Immortika's words sounded like a harmless prankster, in Furcas ears, they were simply like the Devil's whispers, and he finally spooked out. He started to wonder if it was all but an elaborate scheme of this guy to get his soul here. The implication behind it was simply too huge and horrifying; it was like he had fallen into his own trap!
Even the Zodiac Enforcer was thinking the same thing and was trying to do everything to find a solution. This was simply too huge!
"W-what do you want?!" Furcas dropped his haughty bravado at this moment and was trying his best to find a way to get out of this eerie situation. But alas, he can't even use his magic anymore much less move, if soul could sweat, he would've been sweating buckets right now.
Immortika playfully snickered, "Why so afraid? Don't worry, we are all friends here. But before anything else, let me take care of something very important; I can't have my source of entertainment die on me now, can I?"
Before Furcas could say anything, suddenly, around four hundred corpses appeared behind Jacob, including the Ice Fiend Locust Queen and her twelve royals.
"Blood!" Immortika nonchalantly uttered a single word, which was more like a command, and the next moment, all those corpses suddenly turned into globs of blood.
The next moment, something even more shocking happened as all that blood started to float toward Jacob before it started to seep into his tattered robes. All that blood instantly vanished.
But Furcas and Zodiac Enforcer could feel a strange power suddenly starting to surge in the giant, and under his tatter robes, where his bones were visible, the runic lines started to glow.
However, another ghastly yet shocking scene played out, the mask on Jacob face vanished at this moment, revealing a widely grinning, eerie face and suddenly the skin around neck started to sink into his neck before the gray bones emerged filled with runic lines.
But it was just the start. Little by little, his skin continued to sink, and his skull started to get exposed, started by his chiseled chin. Soon, his lips vanished, exposing his bare teeth.
Soon, half of his face had turned into a hollow gray skull filled with longevity schema before it reached his eye sockets. When the skin around his eye sockets was gone, his bright golden eyes also started to decay and absorbed into his hallow sockets.
However, it didn't last long as golden white sparks suddenly appeared within his empty sockets, and the next moment, those sparks seemed to ignite something as two white ethereal flames flickering with golden edges seemed to dance in a harmonious discord, their intensity growing with each flicker. But this was far from over as soon his forehead was revealed before his bright silver hair was gone, and now what was left was just a gray skull, and within this skull was a spherical nebula of ethereal neon mists; his brain seemed to have transformed into this after the entire longevity schema sculpted to his entire body! Jacob wouldn't have imagined that he could complete the longevity schema in this fashion, he wasn't even aware of it as he was in a coma while seemed to having a time of its life while watching the horrifying expression of Furcas and maybe even the Zodiac Enforcer.
However, the transformation was still not done, as under Jacob's clothes, the cursed heart appeared again and started to move towards the center of the chest. However, this time, the process was far smoother.
The moment the cursed heart took its position, the entire longevity schema on Jacob's body came alive, and the cursed heart started to pulse powerfully. A powerful pressure was released from his body.
Furthermore, at this moment, glyphs appeared on the surface of the black cursed heart, and the next moment, the cursed heart started to shrink until it was only the size of a tiny bean, yet it was still pulsing even stronger than before.
At this moment, the longevity schema stopped glowing, and it became bleak again, evident of its emptiness, and the cursed heart suddenly moved again. It directly made its way to his skull before it vanished into the neon nebula.
The white golden flame flickered fiercely at this moment as Immortika pulled a toothy smile, which was nothing but ghastly, sending chills to Furcas and Zodiac Enforcer's spins.
Immortika uttered in a hollow voice, "What a bummer! It seemed the blood was not enough! How about you two help poor me out here?"
