Cursed Immortality

The two ghostly figures standing on top of the discs were still looking at each other while the cubes in their hands were blinking as they showed images of different areas in the beast forest at terrifying speed.

However, it was at this moment they suddenly jolted as they both twisted their head in one peculiar direction.

The discs under their feet suddenly shimmered before they started to move. But right at this moment, something terrifying happened when out of the blue…

"Splash…"

One of the figure's heads suddenly blew like watermelon before the disc under his feet could even pick up speed to evade.

"Boommmm…"

It was at this moment; a sonic boom rang in the silent vicinity of the beast forest, and the reaming white robes' person was completely caught off guard by his companion's uncanny death.

Before he knew it, the disc and the headless corpse were already falling down the sky while his disc was still picking up speed. He was only snapped out of his stupor when he heard the thunderous sonic boom.

The disc under his feet suddenly shimmered in purple light as it started to descend. He clearly wanted to use the trees to disrupt the attacker's vision.

But he was too slow as by the time he managed to process what happened, 'Bang…' his head also blasted apart like a balloon.

"Booommm…"

Another sonic boom rang at this moment in the vicinity, and two bodies started to fall from the sky. This entire scene only took about five seconds before the two ghostly figures were dead without even knowing how.

Jacob stood holding a two-meter black sniper rifle which was filled with gray stripes, and smoke was rising from its muzzle. Furthermore, those gray strips were shimmering in garish light, and the magic gem embedded in its grip was shining brightly.

But the very next moment, the magic gem suddenly cracked before it turned into dust.

Jacob wasn't fazed by it as his eyes at this moment were shining in rainbow color before they slowly returned to being amber again, and the smock rising from his figure also cooled down.

Jacob looked at the black sniper rifle with a content look. As he turned his hand, a magic gem appeared, and he clicked it in the empty chamber where the old gem was embedded a moment ago.

'These enhanced shock absorber magic patterns are really what I needed to control the recoil of my new Iron Titan Sniper. But the magic gem is only enough to sustain two bullets recoils. Sigh… it's too costly. If only I could use magic.

'If I want to recreate the Quantum Sniper and then use it without losing a limb, then I need at least top-tier epic magic patterns and epic-tier magic gems.' Jacob lamented as he didn't care about the fact that he had managed to kill two terrifying existence like it wasn't news to him.

Jacob knew the moment he took out the Iron Titan Sniper, which was the name he had given it after turning it into a magic weapon. Those guys won't stand a chance against him.

Now, he can use Iron Titan Sniper without worrying about suffering a recoil from it. He didn't dare to use it even with his epic physique because he knew his arm would be shattered, just like he ended up in that almost dead state when he used it against the Wight Minister.

Although he won't be left in that dead state, it was a wound he wanted to avoid at all costs. That's why he was so hell-bent on learning the Magic Smithing to find a way to avoid such a situation, and he did.

The Magic Patterns were something only a magic smith could create with unique magic smiting techniques. Different magic smiting techniques result in different magic patterns.

Like the enhanced shock absorber, magic patterns were Jacob's favorite, and he got the technique for them in the manual bought from the champion's space. Even the alchemy guild's shop didn't have them.

In Jacob's understanding, this technique was probably for Elder Grandmaster Rank Magic Smiths since it was the technique written in the Elder Grandmaster Section of the manual.

So, it was only natural that the alchemy guild shop of rare plains didn't have them.

Anyhow, Jacob's new guns were all-powerful, and they were magic with this technique.

Although they were not truly magic guns since they couldn't be used with magic bullets, he didn't need magic bullets when he could create even more powerful bullets than magic bullets as long as he put his mind to it.

One could say that Jacob now can put many of the ideas which seemed impossible in his old life into theories, and he would only grow as long as he continued to acquire more knowledge of this world's technology, especially magic technology.

Jacob then put his new gun back and quickly headed in the direction where the bodies fell. He was also quite interested in those two discs, which seemed to be like some hoverboard.

Furthermore, with those two explosive sounds from his guns, he knew those guys searching for him were all coming in this way, so he had to collect their bodies and belonging first before he started dealing with the others.

With his excellent vision and sense of smell, he quickly found the two bodies and the discs. He didn't have time to check them as he stored them in his pendant and decided to enjoy a feast later after he got rid of all those pests.

What Jacob didn't know was the moment he killed those two guys on the discs, within the hidden library in the dark city.

The Goblette, impassively reading an old cover book, suddenly heard an electric voice.

"Iron Puppet Assassins has been killed by the target!

"Iron Class Kill Order has entered the second stage!

"5 Iron Puppet Assassins have been dispatched!"

The Goblette merely glanced at the reverse black hourglass, which was still working in reverse, before she returned to reading as if nothing had happened!
