Walking in the cloudy mist, Jacob didn't feel anything, as if that mist wasn't there at all, yet his senses seemed to be getting restrictive the deeper he went.
"Are you sure this is not dangerous?" He questioned Immortika with scrutiny. The only thing that stopped him from turning around was the damn slave mark.
As long as he didn't confirm the trial plain was not descending yet, his body wouldn't listen to him, so he could only turn to the cursed book for help. Furthermore, with how things were going, he could tell the trial plain was least affected by that epic star void server's destruction.
"Hehehe… of course is an entrance after all, just like the last time."Immortika wrote.
Jacob's expression stiffened, and he questioned, "So, this is the entrance to the trial plain. Can you tell me the purpose behind the trial plains, and I mean the realm purpose? Is it really to give some space to the dead and living to grow? Why not let them duke it out once and for all? Why keep them together if they can't coexist? Moreover, how the trial plains are even made?"
"Hahahaha… do you know what you're asking is one of the biggest mysteries of the Zodiac Plains, and you want me to answer you, heh... fat chance."
"Could it be even you don't know?" Jacob pressed wasn't bothered by Immortika's remark.
"Who knows? If anything, this is all but a means of entertainment for me. Think about it: watching others struggling, scheming, exploring, and killing each other constantly. What's bigger entertainment than violence?" Immortika revealed its sadistic beliefs.
Jacob sighed with a hint of nostalgia, "Although you're a psychopath, I can't refute you. Violence is indeed the biggest source of entertainment, especially when it's about life and death, and maybe it is because it draws the true nature of others, the devil within."
"Oh, so you're agreeing with me? That's a first." Immortika wrote.
"I'm not unreasonable like a certain someone." Jacob sneered before he changed the subject since there was no point in debating about it, "Alright, enough with the violence. If you have time to write nonsense, tell me about this trial. Would it be like the Dark Ruins, where I need to solve riddles?"
"Hehehe, you'll know soon, don't you? So why spoil the surprise? But I can tell you that there are not just riddles in a trial plain. You can think of it as a specific trial mode. The Dark Ruins were a puzzle-mode trial plain, and you should be very grateful that you got free labor from both dead and living.
"To put it simply, in all those years, they had already dealt with almost all the dangers and traps and looted what they could. So, it becomes easier for you to snoop around and take everything from right under their noses.
"Furthermore, as that trial was a puzzle mode, it wasn't focused on strength but wits, so it was even easier. But if that trial, for example, happens to be a Kingdom Mode Trial, then you'll have to deal with the entire force of a Kingdom that was entirely made to stop you, and their wits are not any lower than yours.
"So, if you're arrogant just because you'd managed to complete the rare trial plain quite easily, you should put it aside. Because an epic trial plain, even if it's a puzzle mode trial, it would blow off your mind.
"Oh, and let me tell you a fun fact that even your 'master' didn't know about. The medallion you're after. It can only be obtained by being the sole champion of the epic trial plain. This means if someone was able to claim even one position beside you… hahahahaahh!" Immortika's maniacal laughter filled the page like crazy.
On the other hand, Jacob's expression turned stern and somewhat pale because he wasn't expecting the last revelation, and if it was true, then he was in huge trouble!
Because first, he wasn't confident in becoming the sole champion of the epic plains. There were too many variables and hidden forces in play in the epic plains, and they were almost united under the banner of the three hegemonies and the dark beings.
The second was even if he strived to become the sole champion, the others wouldn't sit still and let him be, especially if they also knew about the medallion.
The third was Jacob wanted that medallion for himself because he wanted to go to the unique plains. He didn't have the luxury of waiting for a thousand years to try his luck again. His life span wasn't even close to being 1000 years yet.
Even the elves and giants who were supposed to have the longest lifespan could only for around 1200~1300 years at epic rank with some precious herbs.
So, Jacob would be devastated if he wasn't able to go to the unique plains because it would halt his growth rate. Because he was pretty sure after the Cursed Blood Condensing was completed, he might need to hunt the unique rank species.
Now, Immortika has dropped this massive bombshell on him right at this moment when he needed to be focused.
"You fucking wanker! Despite knowing the significance of this information, you only decided to reveal it now!? Are you out of your goddamn mind?" No matter how much tolerance Jacob had accumulated in these past few years, he still couldn't able to control the fury and anxiety he was feeling right now.
In its defense, Immortika only laughs even more, "What can I do? I can only tell you specific things at a specific time or location. It's not my fault that ogre didn't know. Hihihihi…"
"Just tell me whether the things I heard about that medallion are true or not?"
"Oh, they are absolutely. Hehehe…"
"Bastard, all of you!" Jacob gritted his teeth as his blood boiled, and his eyes shone with dark conviction, 'This is no longer about winning a spot or about that pirate pig. I need that medallion if I want to live on. I need to change my strategy from passive to active!'
Right at this moment, Jacob suddenly sensed something changed in the mist as it suddenly started to turn colder.
Immortika suddenly wrote, "Time to go, have fun and let him have it too… hahhahahaha…."
The next moment, the conditions started to be revealed on the page,
