Cursed Immortality

"What the hell just happened?" Jacob instantly questioned Immortika after his cursed heart suddenly went out of control.

Although he was feeling more powerful and calm, and the cursed heart movement didn't seem to have any negative effect on him, he could not ignore that strange movement and the peculiar feeling it caused him.

Jacob thought that the Cursed Heart only stopped or failed in whatever it was going to do because the longevity schema was still incomplete, and after this session of sculpting, his progress was at 89%!

"Hahahaha... I'm afraid I can't answer that question. You'll know once you complete the sculpting process. But I can assure you it, it's part of the process." Immortika wrote without giving any clear answer to the actual question.

Jacob frowned, but he knew this would be all the information he would get from Immortika. Even he could tell that whatever was going to happen was part of the process. It's just that his cursed heart's appearance and sudden movement made him somewhat anxious.

After Jacob calmed down and felt his power improve, he was satisfied and even wanted to test his power against someone strong.

'Now that I think about it, it's been quite some time since I've been in the Dark Battle Arena, and now that Nyx has also evolved, will she be able to take over it?' Jacob suddenly thought about the fake virtual battle arena, which had helped him awaken the soul force and helped Nyx evolve.

For Nyx, it was a true treasure ground, and the same could be said for Jacob as well because it can help him increase the soul force, and who knows what kind of benefits would await him if he could completely take over it.

However, it remained to be seen if Nyx could really take over that dreamscape realm, which was connected with all the lesser galaxies. This was a huge endeavor, not to mention a risky

That's why Jacob decided to put it on hold for now and only try once. If it turned out to be still out of Nyx's league, he'd give up without hesitation, or if it were dangerous, the result would be the same. Right now, he was letting Nyx familiarize herself with her new evolution before he brought her into the Dark Battle Arena again.

At this moment, Jacob suddenly remembered a matter he had been forced to put on hold the day the Treaty tried to intimidate him. Now, he still has time until Cursed Immortality's summoning time runs out.

Wasting no time, he waved his hand, and in front of him, a tiny, delicate elf girl with emerald hair bound in a ponytail appeared. Her big eyes were closed, like those of a porcelain doll.

But right under her chick, a web of dark lines spread around her neck, like a strain on flawless painting, and Jacob could 'see' dense dark particles rising around that web of dark lines even more fiercely than the first time he saw them.

This little elf child was Elia, whom he had taken an interest in because of her curse and reasoning with his hex core when he arrived at the Cardinal Spirit Church. He naturally 'took' her from her father.

"Now, I think it's about time you tell me what her deal is," Jacob calmly asked while looking at Elia, who was still in slumber because of his slumber hex. His eyes were affixed on the marking on her neck.

If before he only felt vague reasoning with those dark lines, now that he had progressed further into the longevity schema, he could feel even more intent reasoning with those lines, and for some reason, he felt a warmth in his heart, which was a foreign feeling to him at this point, making Jacob both confused and vigilant.

"Hehehehe... I always admired your devil's luck, and this time, you have acquired something quite interesting, which will make you privy to some information that you would've only been able to get once you entered the middle galaxies and stumbled on it or when you've completed the second phase of the scripture."

Jacob's eyes widened when he heard this unexpected revelation. He wasn't expecting this little girl to trigger something like this.

"First, let me explain to you more about the two main branches of the Curses, as you already know their names: the Sin and Virtue Curses. The Sin Curses can be further strengthened by 'Sin,' while the Virtue Curses are fueled by 'Virtue.' Lastly, they are the Unbreakable Curses because they are 'Unbreakable' or 'Absolute!'

"But what you don't know is that there are Seven Curses of Sin and Seven Curses of Virtue, namely: (Sin Curse): Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth; (Virtue Curses): Humility, Charity, Chastity, Gratitude, Temperance, Patience, and Diligence.

"The last piece of very exclusive and important information about these fourteen cures I can give you now is that each Virtue Curse is a counterpart of a Sin Curse, and the same goes the other way around. They not only counter each other but also complement each other. I know you won't understand what this means, but for my next explanation and for your own good, you should remember it well.

"Like Sin Curse of Pride counter and compliment the Virtue Curse of Humility, Greed counter and compliment Charity, Lust counter and compliment Chastity, Envy/counter and compliment Gratitude, Gluttony counter and compliment Temperance, Wrath counter and compliment Patience, and Sloth counter and compliment Diligence.

"The Witchcraft that you are familiar with is also the result of simplifying the Sin Curse of Envy because some idiot didn't have a brain to comprehend the true curse!

"Remember the last time you asked me about the 'True Curse Magic'? I said its sheer scope was something that no mortal could achieve. So, remember this information well, for this is just the beginning of the path that leads to the True Curse!"

Jacob took a deep breath after he carved this information into his mind, as he considered this a completely unexpected harvest, especially the information about the Sin and Virtue Cures.

Although he only learned their names and their relationship with each other, he could tell how important this information was because of Immortika's constant reminders. Moreover, he really didn't understand how something completely opposite to each other could complement each other.

Furthermore, he was very familiar with the names of the seven sin cures and seven virtue curses, which were known in his old world as the Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Heavenly

Virtues.

In many religious texts, they appear as the harbingers of Good and Evil, the dividing factor between innocent and sinner, the loggerhead between Heaven and Hell, and sometimes used as the line between Gods and Devils.

But Immortika was calling even the virtues 'Curses,' which was extremely baffling and

strange.

This made him somewhat confused about why the names of the two main branches of Curse were so common in his mortal world. He wondered if there was more to his world and if he was missing something. He finally understood why he wasn't privy to this information at this point because he simply didn't comprehend the meaning behind it.

But before he could raise this question, Immoritka moved on to the main topic!
