Cursed Immortality

Chapter 541 Lifespan

?About half an hour later, Jacob stood on top of the ship sail, and his head suddenly shifted in the northeast direction and his eyes narrowed.

Although there wasn't any movement on the sea, he could sense a vague fluctuation in water in the air and ocean.

The next moment, Jacob tried to focus on his eyes when suddenly his amber irises glowed in golden light before they suddenly expanded covering his entire eyes and turning into pure golden, and tiny silver flames were flickering within them.

The world around him instantly changed as countless strange particles appeared before him, and he finally saw an outline of a gigantic ship made with these colorful particles.

Instantly, Jacob closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they had turned back to normal. But his complexion was slightly pale, and sweat was beaded on his forehead.

'I've only opened them for barely two seconds, yet I felt exhausted.' Jacob thought bitterly, as he knew the eyes of judge were not something he could carelessly use.

But still, after barely using them, he knew just how terrifying they were, and the strain they left on his mind afterward was not to be laughed at. Immortika's warning was not unjustifiable.

Although it was his second time using them, he had to admit nothing could hide from them, even an advanced unique rank stealth mode ship!

Gulping down a rejuvenate potion, Jacob's lips curled in a malicious smile as he jumped down and found Sofie, who was waiting anxiously for his order.

"He's coming with the entire ship. The moment I jump on that ship, escape through the sea without hesitation," Jacob ordered as he clearly remembered the first time Captain Free Sword captured him.

That guy has a powerful method to teleport someone into the ship directly, so he doesn't dare to be careless or let Sofie flee first. He was afraid that the guy was monitoring them with some unknown device to make sure there wasn't any ambush.

If he saw Sofie escaping, then he might not come at all, so she had to be here as bait until he succeeded in neutralizing him.

Furthermore, he hadn't forgotten about the teleportation talismans. He had bought a treasure that could block space, Sky Lock Cube, for this exact reason, and Masha just happened to be in possession of an advanced space talisman, not a unique one, and her downfall was also because of it.

This also reveals just how precious a space related treasure was. But he can't underestimate Captain Free Sword, since that guy would not be stingy with himself.

Now, Masha was in his infinity pendant, and upon his thought transmission with Autarch, he found that he needed around six more months to completely devour Masha if she remained in that state, and Jacob wasn't planning to let her escape at all, so it was all in his favor.

In the end, Jacob knew he only had a single chance to capture Captain Free Sword, and he couldn't miss the timing, or he would be really gone once he escaped through a space treasure.

All of these calculations were accounted for, and he also has another helper this time around, "Nyx, I want you to plant a seed the moment you see Captain Free Sword. Focus your entire power on him—no need to care about others. Once I capture him, you can stop and focus on the others. There should be around twenty more enemies on that ship, and we need to kill them all." contemporary romance

"Ehh, what about my food?" Nyx asked, as she clearly was implying for a living prey.

"I'll see what I can do about it. It's not easy to retrain so many Uniques, or do you think I want to give away the free chance of getting so much lifespan?" Jacob retorted, since he no longer thought about killing others first.

From the last time Nyx absorbed those two dwarfs and one ogre's dreamscape realm, he got 1,100 years of lifespan!

Even Jacob was in disbelief when he saw that number adding to his own lifespan, and he knew he had hit a jackpot with Nyx. Now, as long as Nyx was alive, and he let her continue to feed on the living beings, his lifespan would continue to increase!

Furthermore, he knew the more powerful a species is, the more lifespan they would have. Like a goblin, even in epic rank, could only live for 200 to 300 hundred years. At the same time, an epic elf or giant could live up to 1200 to 1500 hundred years. An epic magic beast and orc's life span was around 500 to 1000 years, depending on their bloodline.

Lastly, Nyx could only get half of the remaining natural lifespan of her victim. It would not be deducted from the years the victim has already lived.

For example, if a victim has lived for 1000 years, and he only got around 100 years more to live, Nyx could only get 50 years not 550 years.

Furthermore, those victims can also replenish their lifespan with medicine, but Nyx would not devour this lifespan because it is not a natural lifespan. Emerging from the sanctum of Nøv€lß¡n☆, this essence holds secrets untold.

Lastly, both Combat and Sorcery could affect lifespan differently. A combatant could live more than a Sorcerer because they had stronger bodies.

So, the younger and more talented her victim is, the more lifespan she can gather! A unique species' average lifespan is around 500 years, and a species like a unique ogre and dwarf would have an average lifespan of around 4000 years!

That's why Jacob got over one thousand years despite Nyx getting the other 30% from just three of those victims.

This was the reason Jacob now wanted to prioritize capturing the Uniques then just killing them. After all, lifespan was far more alluring than just temporary meals.

Furthermore, it wasn't like he wouldn't get to eat them once Nyx was done with them, so he wanted to get both lifespan and their meat now. Still, he knew this time deaths were unavoidable, even if it was a waste.

But it wasn't like he didn't have a shot at it, and all of this depends on whether he could subdue Captain Free Sword or not.

At this moment, in few meters away from Jacob's ship, a gigantic ship suddenly appeared out of thin air, and on top of the ship's ugly figurehead, Captain Free Sword stood tall while coldly glaring at Jacob and Sofie!
