Cursed Immortality-Chapter 720: Bested the Best! (2)

The Zodiac Oath Contract was quickly written by Diminutive. After Jacob made sure the goblin didn't leave any tricks in it, he signed it while Diminutive handed it over to Necro so he could bring it to his main body.

After all, only the main bodies of Jacob and Diminutive could sign on it, and this was Jacob's only condition. Jacob wanted to make sure to bind Diminutive with the Zodiac Oath Contract, as for others, as long as they didn't have soul force, he didn't consider them a threat.

In fact, he leaves them alone because he wants someone among them to become reckless and then deliver blood vitality to him. After all, for Jacob, the Treaty of Legends was nothing but a tool to increase the final phase progress. They were useful for him, whether alive or dead!

"How about his excellency tell us what you want in return while Necro delivers the contract to my real body?" Diminutive asked, his face still hidden behind his cloak, just like hooded Jacob's.

"Well, I guess it would save us some time." Jacob coolly nodded before he directly stated, "It's actually not a big deal for people in your ranks to achieve what I want in return for the location of the Legendary Key."

They all knew what Jacob was implying by emphasizing this point. After all, they were all Quasi Legends who belonged to different races and held massive power and influence in the Unique Plains.

With just their individual prowess, they can easily manipulate their races and any organization under their races, especially Sylas, Samara, Necro, and even Vermont. These four have 2/3 of the Life Faction, 1/3 of the Neutral Faction, and the entire Dead Faction at their beck and call.

That's why when Jacob found their racial identities from Immortika, he decided to use them instead of just killing mere soul puppets. He knew those greedy, power-hungry wolves wouldn't reject such a powerful individual of their race overseeing their organizations, making them reap even more benefits.

Jacob knew that if he could use their influence, he wouldn't even need to do anything himself; he could do everything just by issuing orders. He even had a perfect bait to make sure they would listen to him, the Legendary Key!

After grabbing everyone's attention, Jacob finally revealed what he wanted from them, "I want high-quality blood, at least unique rank, and a lot of it! This is what I want in return for revealing the legendary key's location.

"Furthermore, as our contract states, I won't trick or harm any of you once you guys acquire the legendary key or reveal this information to a third party. Moreover, if you want to enter the path of legend, I'll go with you guys and won't harm you if you don't go against me.

"All these conditions are quite steep if you asked me, but I'm still fine with them. The thing is, can you pay the price to keep me neutral? After all, the contract will only be valid if you guys help me achieve my goal until I'm content with the result.

"Even if you guys are unwilling, then I have no problem at all, but don't get in my way or..." Jacob bluntly released his killing intent towards the end, which sent chills down everyone's spines. Even Diminutive was stumped when he sensed that bloodlust.

Although Jacob's demand came as a surprise, some of them still expected his demand to include this kind of condition. After all, the current situation of the Holy Mountain Range was right in front of them to see, and Jacob's presence in the Unique Plains also hinted that he was wounded or his power had been regressed.

This means Jacob wanted blood to get back to full power, and the most frustrating thing was even if they wanted to confront him with their real bodies to fully understand what kind of wounds he had to be able to enter this place.

The only one among them who had another opinion was Diminutive. Despite having similar minded thoughts with the other Quasi Legends, he also thought about another possibility.

'Could it be that he has some kind of treasure that allows him to trick the Zodiac Plains' laws? Although they are just myths, I still found their records in that ruin, so I can't ignore them. However, the possibility of having such a thing in this kind of place and under mortal control is as good as impossible. I need more input on him!'

At this moment, Samara, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke before Diminutive could. With a charming smile, she bowed in front of Jacob while moving her chest slightly, showing her perfect figure to the fullest.

"Great Sire, I'm a Senior Witch, who others call a Witch Queen, and my name is Samara. It is an absolute honor to meet someone like you. Please allow me to confirm something with you."

Although she had a confident smile on her charming face, the streaming sweat from her temple and her trembling third eye was evidence of her fear, as if she could see something the others couldn't.

'A Witch Queen, huh?' Jacob's eyes flashed slightly as he wasn't expecting this witch to be a witch queen.

After all, he had acquired quite a lot from the inheritance of the Vile Witch named Witch Queen Margret, and the ironic part was the Vile Witch Race had a blood feud with the Charm Witch Race, which Samara belonged to,

Nonetheless, Jacob never felt gratitude toward Margret or enmity toward the Charm Witch Race. He got the Witch Queen's inheritance with his own luck and skills, while the Charm Witch Race never wronged him in any way.

So, he was still neutral against them, but this didn't mean he didn't want the witchcraft, related to curse magic, practiced by the witch race. In fact, Samara only made him prioritize the Witch Race even more. As for her attempt to stir Jacob's carnal desires by using her appearance and Charm, it failed miserably.

"Let's hear what you have to say." Jacob impassively gave his permission while Diminutive narrowed his eyes under his cloak.

Although Samara's interference clearly undermined his authority, Diminutive knew this vixen was full of tricks, and her intelligence was not bad either. In fact, after thinking about it more, he was glad that Samara interfered, which meant he could observe more, and he wouldn't be at any risk of revealing some opening in front of Jacob.

Samara secretly sighed in relief when Jacob agreed to talk with her, which meant there was a chance to seduce such a powerful being.

Nonetheless, she didn't dare be reckless. If she offended him instead, she knew the sly goblin over there wouldn't hesitate to discard her to quench Jacob's anger. She had already put Diminutive above the Queen once Jacob revealed his true identity, or he was at least on the same level.

But for some reason, she can't preserve Jacob's silhouette with her spiritual eye at all; even Queen and Diminutive's silhouette was cleared in it. All she could see was an endless fog of crimson, which made her spiritual eye tremble with fear and excitement since this meant Jacob was far more powerful than both Queen and Diminutive.

If she could earn his favor, she knew her path forward would be extremely easy, especially the venture of the Path of Legend.

"Thank you for this chance." Samara pulled with a beautiful smile. She couldn't see Jacob's face or reaction at all, but this didn't make her dejected.

"I think the Great Sire's condition isn't that hard to fill at all. In fact, I think we should thank

the Great Sire for his magnanimity. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Great Sire. You said you only need Unique Rank Blood, but you didn't specifically say what kind of blood or blood from

a specific race, right?"

"Indeed." Jacob nodded while closely observing the enthralling Samara, but the cause of his attention was not her beauty but her sharp mind.

Samara smiled even more widely when Jacob didn't deny it, and she continued, "Then doesn't it mean a huge source of blood is already on its way to this place?"

Sylas's eyes widened as he almost forgot about 'it' because of the shock Jacob brought him, and he quickly blurted, "The Locust Queen and her army!"

"Yes! Great Sire had already provoked the Locust Queen even before meeting with us, so I can presume that Sire might have provoked her for this exact reason. It's just that you're finding it quite a hassle to kill all those bugs alone, so that's why you want our help, right?

"In fact, if I'm not entirely wrong, you didn't actually want our help, but you want the help of the people of three factions. You could easily annihilate the entire army yourself, but you deemed it insufficient to meet your current needs.

"But if the three factions were to go against the Locust Army..." Samara's eyes shimmered with a dark glint as if what she had just said was nothing but trifle matter. "Then there will be a war and an endless stream of blood. We don't even need to dirty our hands!" Diminutive solemnly concluded the rest of Samara's words, but a hint of cruelty was

present in his eyes.

Jacob's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Samara. She had almost guessed his entire plan: 'I guess the goblin isn't the only one in this group whom I need to be wary of...!'
