Cursed Immortality-Chapter 744: Lies Within Lies! (2)

The members of the Treaty left with somewhat doubtful looks on their faces since this turn of events was completely unexpected. But now Asher was on everyone's radar, while Diminutive was dying to have a 'chat' with him once he was done with Jacob.

At this moment, Jacob and Asher are alone in the chapel, and Jacob nods to Asher to start explaining, "Now, please elaborate."

Asher, who still hadn't found any opening in Jacob's attitude or aura, was secretly frustrated because he didn't know whether to continue. But he had no choice since he couldn't have an oath contract on his back.

"Mr. Crimson, you might not know this, but I'm the Dark Prince of Dark City, a dark noble rank higher than Dark Duke, and apparently, Faceless Ancient is also a member of our Dark City, a Dark Viscount as a matter of fact." Asher introduced himself.

'He's the Dark Prince of Lesser Galaxy of Taurus? So, this rank does exist here as well...' Jacob was slightly astounded. He had encountered a Dark Prince in the Dark Battle Arena, Flame Calamity, and from him, he had learned many things about the Path of Legend.

That's why he suspected that there should be a Dark Prince in this place as well, and he was spot on. But now he was even more confused about why he was interested in Faceless Ancient and why he would suspect him to be him.

Not sensing any reaction from Jacob, Asher continued, "A few days ago, I received an unexpected call from the upper management of the Dark City directly from the Legendary Plains. They told me that the Faceless Ancient was selected for being a Dark Royal Contender. But they couldn't reach him, so they gave me the task of searching for him and reporting back as soon as possible."

'Lies...' Jacob's eyes went cold, but he still pretended to be oblivious and let Asher continue. "You may not be aware of the 'Dark Royal' ranks of Dark City; these ranks are above the Dark Nobles Rank, and only personal members can vote for them. Like my Dark Prince is actually a Dark Royal Rank, and I'm just a Dark Prince Contender. In fact, any Dark Prince who exists in the Lesser Galaxies will be a Dark Prince Contender.

"But no one is aware of it since it's a secret for Lesser Galaxies, and only people with deep connections directly to the Legendary Plains' Dark Cities are aware of this fact.

"The Dark City members of Dark Royal Ranks have massive influence among the Dark City, and Dark Nobles are like subordinates of Dark Royals. But becoming a Dark Royal is vastly difficult from a Dark Noble.

"First and foremost, they all had the potential to reach the Legendary Rank and acquire the status of 'Dark Prince Contender,' and the Dark City would nurture and support them to the best of its abilities.

"Only after becoming a Fable Legendary Rank can one become a true Dark Prince, a Dark Royalty of the Dark City. In fact, as long as you are a personal member and can become a Legendary Rank expert, you can directly acquire the status of Dark Royalty, the Dark Prince, and will be privy to resources of Legendary Rank."

When Asher revealed the secret of Dark Royals, his voice was filled with possession and

excitement. This secret shouldn't be a possibility for anyone else because only the true Dark Royals, not 'contenders, 'were privy to it. Only when someone becomes a Dark Royal will they be revealed and notified about this secret.

Before that, the 'Dark Prince Contenders' were just given the 'Dark Prince' statues and couldn't interact with any Dark Royals because they existed in completely different dominions of Dark City.

Furthermore, not even the high-ranking members of the three factions who were aware of 'Dark Royalties' dared to reveal this information to the public because even the lowest Dark Royal was a Fable Legendary Rank, and with how untied they were, they had to suffer the wrath of the entire Dark Royal community which was a scary matter.

But Asher was now revealing this secret to an unknown individual, and truthfully, he didn't have another way to confirm Jacob's identity as the Faceless Ancient.

He revealed this secret information because if Jacob were a member of the Dark City, Asher wouldn't receive any sanction from the Dark City because despite this information being a secret for Dark Nobles, as long as they 'found' about it themselves, the Dark City won't punish them. Similarly, if an extremely high-ranking Dark Royal revealed this information on his own accord to an aspiring Dark Noble, there still wouldn't be any penalty.

But if this information were revealed to an outsider, even to an outer member of Dark City, there would be sanctions. If they were just a Dark Noble, they would be directly sentenced to death, while for a Dark Royal, the punishment was different according to their rank.

For Asher, whose actual rank was impossible to imagine, this punishment was nothing but a slap on the wrist.

As for how the Dark City will continue if the other party isn't a personal member, the Life Signature, which can't be hidden no matter what, and Asher has something extremely powerful that can record someone's Life Signature!

In fact, the stronger a person becomes, the more powerful their life signature will become, and similarly, the more powerful the method required to scan and record it.

A Legendary Rank being could also detect their Life Signature being scanned or recorded with their powerful Soul Force, and that's why no one dares to do such a thing if they don't have a death wish.

But Jacob, despite awakening his soul force, was still new to it and didn't know how to utilize it to its full potential, so the moment he decided to hear Asher, he had already fallen into

Asher's trap.

The moment Asher revealed the secret of Dark Royals, something hidden under his sleeve suddenly shimmered for a vague moment, and Jacob overlooked another since he was quite marveled at the information about the Dark Royal.

Furthermore, the status of Asher in his eyes was evaluated even further, and he became extremely wary of this guy who had access to such information that even that arrogant

Wyvern didn't know.

He also sensed that there was something wrong since Asher casually revealed so much in front of a total stranger. After all, as a member of Dark City, he knows damn well just how strict their rules were, and Dark Rose always monitored them when the Dark City was involved.

That was one of the reasons he didn't like to wear his Star Watch when he was around others. So, he instantly sensed something amiss when he noticed that Asher's words were nothing but truth while he was lying a minute ago. But he couldn't put his finger on it, yet he knew his senses weren't wrong.

At this moment, he suddenly heard Nyx's voice, explaining that he had given a 'task' the moment Asher called out his Star ID. When he heard what he had to report, his expression went extremely heavy.

"Umm... please don't be mad. I can't infiltrate his Dreamscape Realm because, for some reason, he didn't have one!"
