Although Jacob's logic was reasonable, it should've worked with the Parasite Gem.
"Do you really believe this method would have such a flaw? Hehehe… so what if you can't hear her words? As long as she has intent, the Slave Rune will fully comprehend it and directly implicate it on you. So, it didn't matter if you were blind, deaf, or mentally disabled; puppets don't need these things in the first place!" Immortika pours cold water on Jacob's hope.
"Can you be at least a little helpful!" Jacob fought his strong urge to unsummoned the Cursed Book in his spleen.
Nevertheless, if not for Immortika's assurance, he knew he might've suffered even more, and in times of crisis, the eccentric book always helped him despite its nasty attitude. So keeping it around was still better than nothing.
Jacob finally noticed where he was when he exited the hall and appeared in a hallway with many rooms, which Masha was leading the way without any intention of speaking.
Masha led him to the fifth room in the hall, and when he entered it, his heart sank because it was a lab with all sort of equipment and glass cells filled with strange creatures.
Of those creatures, some of them were missing their limbs and attached with completely different ones, while some of them were missing their eyes, half of their faces, skins, and such. It was the sight of a horrible nightmare.
Furthermore, there was a large shelf with collections of body parts in glass jars filled with the same transparent liquid.
But what truly made Jacob feel chills was a man crucified on a large stone table, and his entire torso was opened like a book, while his face was handsome, but his eyelids were completely cut off, showcasing his entire bloodshot eyeball with purple irises.
Suddenly, those eyeballs moved in Jacob's direction, 'He's alive?!' Jacob felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Masha with even more apprehension.
He suddenly felt glad that Captain Free Sword needed him and didn't just hand him over to this sadistic witch. But he also felt a sense of urgency to get away from these monsters as soon as he could.
Masha suddenly turned around toward Jacob with a sadistic smile on her alluring face, "This is my home, and if you don't behave, you'll be permanently got to stay here with me just like little Veilly over there! He dared to betray the Captain, so Captain gave him to me so I could make him regret ever being born in this world, which is my specialty, actually.
"It's a pity you're not a Faery Human, or you and I have a very good time and will be good friends. Ah, whatever, you are still someone related to them which makes you a rare specimen nonetheless.
"Once you are done with your mission, you and I will have a very good time, and only then will I grant you your freedom. Tell me, do you agree to spend one year with me before you'll get your freedom? If not, then I'll have to do many things just in one day's time and trust me, Captain won't mind either.
"However, in doing so, you'll lose a limb or two, and even your mind won't function properly if I'm in a rush. So, tell me, do you like it now and be all rough with me or play it safe?"
'This sadistic bitch!' Jacob never felt so disgusted and afraid of a woman in his life, but now Masha was top of that list.
"I'll gladly dance with Mistress once I'm done with Captain's task. But I need my mind attached if I want to complete this mission, so this has to wait." Jacob emotionlessly replied.
"Tsk, tsk, no one likes it rouge nowadays. I guess little Veilly has to do then." Masha clicked her tongue in annoyance, "Alright, you can stay at the corner beside Veilly while I'll draw a list which you have to follow if you don't want to be next to Veilly." Masha dismissively ordered before she headed toward her workbench, with was filled with all sorts of notebooks and devices.
Jacob did as he was told and stood beside the corner of Veilly's table since he had no choice in this matter and had to endure that potent stench in this place. Masha picked up a paper and started to jolt down who know what.
Jacob was quite curious about the identity of this pitiful guy, so he asked Immortika.
"That's a Unique Dark Elf of Tier-7 Rank, and he's completely immobilized. What a fate, I must say. If you could just take his heart, you'll probably enter 12% from 5.2%... what a pity indeed. Hehehe!" Immortika teasingly wrote.
Jacob also felt it was a pity because this boost would be massive to his strength, but the problem was that the witch would not sit still if he tried anything funny, much less killing her plaything and eating his heart.
As long as he didn't want to be that Dark Elf, he didn't dare to mess around with that woman.
Then he suddenly thought of something as he looked at Masha completely guard-less, and his eyes started to shimmer darkly as his eyes were locked on her ears.
"Immortika, can she fight against Autarch if he directly infiltrates into her brain? Can she counter it?" Jacob quickly asked as he knew this was the only chance he would get to use Brian Hunter on Masha while they were alone and she wasn't paying attention to him.
Furthermore, if he could subdue this witch, then he could easily get rid of that slave rune because she controlled it, not to mention all her knowledge would be Autarch's and then his!
"Hahahahaha… who knows? I'm not your personal advisor, and I can't speak out of my boundaries!" Immortika subtly stated before it started to laugh maniacally.
Jacob's heart race at this moment because Immortika doesn't directly reject him as it does before. But it was very risky, and if his gamble didn't pay off, he would lose both Autarch and his life!
