Cursed Immortality



Jacob entered his second inheritor checkpoint, and this place was exactly the same as the last one, which made him frown with a foreboding feeling in his chest.

At this moment, a projection appeared, and it was also the projection of the same person, Witch Queen Margret!

She appeared while concealing her appearance like before and started speaking, "If you're watching this, then this could only mean you have reached the final stage of the insentience grounds.

"I must congratulate you because, truth be told, I never expected anything ever to meet my high standards in epic plains—especially the qualification of possessing a magic core related to curse.

"But if you're able to reach the end of this trial, then this means you have it, or you're simply too powerful for my trials to hold you back. Whichever the case is, if you manage to pass this last trial, the Witch Palace is yours and everything in it!

"After this projection ends, three magic scrolls containing my strongest three Imprecates will appear before you. They are the symbol of my years of research and attainment in curse magic, and if you want to be my successor, you need to have the talent and willpower to surpass me.

"All you need to do is to endure each for 10 minutes of each curse. Don't worry if you can't endure them; I've modified those three curse magic scrolls in a way they will instantly break the spell once 10 minutes pass. Or you can break them yourselves if you have the skills."

"It is a farewell, O' mysterious one. After this point, you'll either be my successor or just join the ranks of my victims. For once, I'm pretty agitated and excited, aren't you? Hihi…"

Margret darkly giggled before her projection was gone, and the next moment, three stone columns started to rise from the ground, and three crimson scrolls were resting above them.

Jacob's expression was solemn as he looked at Immortika and asked, "I've been meaning to ask this; is Imprecate another form of Curse like the Whammy?"

"Why, of course, Imprecate and Whammy are both two sides of a single coin called the Sin Curses, one of the main branches of Curse. They both use evil as their base to invoke malicious cures upon their targets. If Whammy is invoked by poison, then an Imprecate is invoked by evil canticle sounds.

"It's a very intriguing discipline and complex since just one mistake, and you'll be the one getting corroded by the same Imprecate you were trying to corrode something else. That little witch seemed to have some achievement in Sin Cures. Even her methods are to my liking, Hehehe!"

Jacob ignored the last part and asked with a frown, "Sin Curses? Can you tell me what is the difference between hex and this sin curse? Or, as a matter of fact, what is this curse? Aren't curses supposed to be just curses? Just when did they become as complex as a universe?"

Jacob has been wondering for a while now about this exact same question. Only after coming here did he get to know just how complex curses were, and the more he knew, the more complex they became.

At the root of this complexity was 'Curse.' Jacob even thought that the Cursed work in Cursed Immortality might be related to cures after all since even his magic was curse-related.

However, what he failed to understand why his magic core was Hex Core instead of Curse Core, and he knew there was something different, especially after coming all this way.

"Hehehe… aren't you a curious one. But my answer will be the same; you need to explore on your own, and I can't answer anything unless you find it first. The topic you stir is out of your league right now. But don't worry, just as you found the traces of Sin Cures, I know you'll make your way all the way towards Curses. Hehehe!"

Jacob pursed his lips as he was expecting this sort of answer to begin with, but it still made him perplexed. It was just that he didn't know if it was because of his new aspect or if Immortika had a knack for ruffling his feathers.

"Then tell me what kind of Imprecate are stored in those magic scrolls?" This was the main reason he wanted Immortika present here anyway.

He guessed that since he was just 2 points away from achieving his objective, the trial might be the hardest one because there wasn't any information given on the levels of checkpoints or any sequence from easy to hard.

So, it wasn't hard to guess they were all based on the participant's progress in the inheritance grounds.

"Oh, that I can do in the least. The left one is a Bone Eater Imprecate, an Advanced Epic Rank Imprecate Spell that will release a peculiar sin curse that while will give you the illusion of your bone being eaten away by thousands of insects. While in reality, your bones will be corroding with the Imprecate until there's nothing left of them.

"The center one is a Bloody Imprecate, the same rank as the left one. It will affect blood by making it stop circulating, and you can imagine what could happen once blood stops circulating in a body.

"The last one, the right one, is quite interacting because it is the imitation of a Legendary Imprecate, Evil Cannibal Imprecate. Although it is nowhere near its original, it still has 1 percent of the original's effect.

"Being effective by Imprecate means you will die by feeding on your own flesh and blood. Imagine the absolute urge to eat your own flesh and drink your own blood, and everything else has turned into poison. Nothing tastes as sweet as your own meat, and drink as intoxicating as your own blood.

"Hehehe… and this is just me telling you moderately. The Evil Cannibal Imprecate will only become stronger and stronger until the target is choking on its own guts. Isn't it just a marvelous thing to take revenge on your enemy? Hahahah…"

Jacob felt cold sweat at this moment and felt insects crawling under his skin just reading about the Evil Cannibal Imprecate. It was simply malicious even for your enemies, and now he had to get affected by such a spell willingly? It just made him even more fearful, and he wondered just how in the world the Vile Witch copied such an Imprecate.

"I-I won't be affected by them, right?" Jacob had to confirm this as he completely hesitates now.

However, Immortika's reply left him seething, "Hehehe, won't we find out once you open those scrolls?"
