The more Jacob looked at carefree Masha, the more that urge to release Autarch right into her ear grew.
But when he thought about the power gap between their levels, he hesitated and fell into a dilemma, and he knew this was the only chance he had!
"Autarch, as long as he infiltrates a Unique Rank brain, will you be able to control it?" He then transmitted his voice to ask Autarch's opinion since Immortika wasn't helping, but that was the exact reason he wanted to try it.
Whenever Immortika refused its help, it was always when the situations were sothing he could handle on his own, so that's why he thought that this situation was also one of those.
Autarch replied emotionlessly, "I also have a pressing matter related to this exact matter, Sir. I had just unlocked the special prerequisite that I needed to enter the Extraordinary Rank, and it just happened to be 'to devour a Unique Being!'"
Jacob's eyes dilated in surprise, "I thought that process was disrupted when I unsummoned you back there?"
"It was already been completed for a few monts, and Sir was busy reading, so I don't want to disturb you. But then everything happened, and this matter was put on hold." Autarch emotionlessly explained.
"You're too polite, Autarch. You should've told about this important matter. Nevertheless, it seems we both are in luck then. I'm staring at a Unique Rank right in front of , and she's completely off guard.
"But the thing is, if she noticed you, we were both going to die. But if you pull this off, then there will be countless opportunities for both of us. So, I want you to tell what your instincts told you. If you have even a sliver of doubt, I want you to tell right now!" Jacob solemnly transmitted as he noticed Masha was already starting to write on a new paper.
"I can do it. But the process will be very slow as I have to slowly corrode her senses before I start to devour her brain, and once I've started, there will be no stopping , and once she realizes what happened, it will be too late." Autarch replied.
Jacob knew Autarch didn't know how to joke or lie to him, and after reaming with him for over three years, he knew how terrifying Autarch was once he entered soone's brain.
Besides, that special prerequisite was sothing he could only overco by either completing it or by many titan tears.
If it were any other ti, he would've naturally gone with the latter option, but now, this opportunity was sothing that was connected with his own freedom. Despite having a way to overco his status already, having a backup wasn't a bad thing.
"How long will it take?" Jacob asked coldly.
"Around 5 to 10 years. But I won't be able to any of help to Sir in these years!" Autarch stated.
Jacob's expression remained the sa, but inwardly he was extrely content.
"Alright, I'll send you right into her ear in three seconds!" Jacob made up his mind as his eyes fully locked on Masha's exposed ear hole.
The three seconds passed in a flash, and Jacob's eye spasd slightly, and the next mont, a tiny Autarch appeared right into Masha's ear hole, and light a flash of lightning jolted inside!
"Hmm?" Masha almost noticed instantly and darted her head behind and looked for Jacob, but when she saw he was just standing there like a puppet, she frowned.
Thereafter, a blue hue suddenly enveloped her body as she closed her eyes, and Jacob's heart was almost in his mouth despite his every effect to keep it under control. It was simply too nerve-racking, and he almost summoned Autarch back while he still had the chance.I think you should take a look at
However, that light on Masha faintly lost it lustered before vanishing completely, but a faint frown still remained on her face.
"What did you do?" Masha asked with scrutiny and killing intent.
"I'm just standing here as Mistress ordered to," Jacob replied expressionlessly.
"Did he do anything?"
"I didn't see anything."
Masha's frown deepened when she thought that Jacob didn't have the power or ans to resist her at all, so he was the last person in this room who she would suspect.
However, for so strange reason, she was now feeling extrely uneasy and couldn't put her finger on it why.
Then suddenly thought of sothing and glanced at Jacob, "Give your storage ring and any other treasure you have on you."
After knowing Jacob was from the rare plains, no one was interested in anything on him, so they overlooked the storage ring he was wearing.
But now Masha knew she felt sothing, and that strange feeling was also a sign that she didn't want to ignore, so she had to be completely sure now.
Jacob's hands move on their own and start to take off everything he is wearing because he is clad in treasures for obvious reasons.
When Jacob's hand started to move toward his neck, his heart sank because he was going to grab the infinity pendant, which despite his naked self, goes completely unnoticed by everyone.
The reason for it was very simple after he collected the Cursed Path Glory Gem and nded it into the Infinity Pendant, it beca like Cursed Immortality. Now it was only visible to Jacob, who was the inheritor of the Cursed Immortality.
Even he found out about this new trait of the pendant after Immortika revealed it to him, and it was nothing but good. However, now his hand was moving toward his seemingly empty neck to take off the Infinity Pendant because it was a treasure, and he couldn't stop it.
Masha also noticed Jacob's strange movent around his empty neck, as if he had taken off sothing, but she clearly couldn't see anything. At the sa ti, Jacob has already put the infinity pendant on the top of his clothes and presented them to Masha.
"These are everything." Jacob tried to be as ambiguous as possible, as things were not looking good.
"What did you take off at the end?" Masha questioned with squinted eyes.
Jacob replied impassively, "It was an invisible pendant which I always believed to be there like a lucky charm, and it is the most important treasure I have!"
