"What a bumr! It seed the blood was not enough! How about you two help poor out here?"
Absolute silence prevailed. Neither Zodiac Enforcer nor Furcas said anything, as both of them were trying to get free from whatever was restraining them. Still, alas, no matter what they did, they seed to have been completely confined.
They couldn't use their powers or connections. This entire space was under the mysterious madman's authority, and they knew things were completely out of their hands.
Both of them were utterly unfamiliar with the sense of helplessness because they were simply too powerful and had lived for so long that they had forgotten what it ant to be afraid. But now, it was all coming back.
"What, no volunteer?" Immortika pretended to be hurt as it looked upward towards the eye, and his toothy smile grew, "Even you, a Valkyrien from Angelic Races? Isn't your purpose to fight injustice and bring salvation to the damn or whatnot? Why are you playing this boring role-play? So, will you help a poor fellow like , or has the decorum of Angelic Races changed, and you guys no longer care about it anymore?"
"You, sacrilegious mortal, to dare utter such blasphemous words for the Holy Race!" Zodiac Enforcer was finally triggered when Immortika directly taunted its race as if he couldn't help it at all, "I don't know how you knew and how you did it or what you're after, but if you know who I am, then you better release this instant, and I can pray for rcy for your vile soul!"
"Sigh…" Immoritka shook its head ruefully before it burst into laughter, startling Zodiac Enforcer and Furcas again. They couldn't keep up with this madman's mood swings and couldn't read him at all.
"…hah… everything changed with ti; Even gods, once pure as the morning light, Can falter, yield to shadows of the night. Angels, with wings of grace and holy fire, May lose their way and, thus, their sacred desire. Yet here I am, still the sa, for ti is nothing but my keeper." Immortika suddenly uttered a cryptic quote before starting to laugh again, "Hahahahaha, man, I have really outdone myself with this one, don't you two think so?" However, the Zodiac Enforcer didn't take those words as re sarcasm because the aning behind them was profound, and only soone like the Zodiac Enforcer could understand it. The Zodiac Enforcer didn't believe that this guy had just uttered sothing like that in a silly quote.
"Who in the world are you!?" Zodiac Enforcer asked again as it was back to the sa question. "A Poor Bore Book, who else?" Immortika innocently replied, "Oh, well, since you didn't want to grace with your benevolence, I shall shalessly take it myself, for you are an embodint of sacrifice for the needy. Now, fulfill your duty and sacrifice yourself, and don't worry, you shall forever be forgotten… I an, rembered for it!
"Cursed Blood Sacrifice!"
Immortika words seem to create invisible commands that can't be ignored or rejected by anything. "What are you…WHAT! What are you doing…ahhhhhhhh!" Zodiac Enforcer's confused voice suddenly turned horrifying, and he started to scream.
Even Furcas, indifferent to Zodiac Enforcer, was shocked because he could feel real pain from his voice. He knew it was impossible for Zodiac Enforcer to feel pain or get wounded, for it was a well-known fact, yet here he was witnessing sothing unimaginable again.
Immortika seed in a daze as Jacob's body trembled in delight under the Zodiac Enforcer's screams, "Now, this is what you call sacrificial music, my favorite, by the way!"
Just as Immortika's voice trailed off, glowing golden droplets started to fall from the dark sky within the darkness, creating a breathtaking scene. However, Furcas wasn't in the mood to admire it; he was completely spooked at this mont because he knew what those golden droplets were and where they were coming from.
"Holy blood! You really wound a Zodiac Enforcer!?!? What kind of Sacred Scripture do you have?!" Furcas asked with disbelief.
At this mont, he was feeling every emotion he had forgotten a long ti ago, and the highest emotion he was feeling was 'True Fear!'
"Correction, 'Sacrifice,' my hellish friend. Sacrifice. It's just serving its purpose. Don't you hear the screams of joy? The Valkyrien has achieved true peace, I'm telling you. Oh, and we can't let Valkyrien's sacrifice go to waste since he was so kind to . "Blood!" Immortika playfully uttered, and the next mont, the golden rain of blood suddenly flew towards Jacob's body.
However, when the golden blood fell on Jacob's body, whatever he was wearing, it instantly incinerated, revealing his entire skeleton body filled with runic lines. But what happened next sent chills down Furcas spine as the golden blood, which could annihilate anyone and was the deadliest poison to his kind, started to absorb into those marks!
The dimd runic marks instantly started to glow as they greedily absorbed the golden blood, while the blood's owner still scread until his voice started to fade.
But Furcas didn't pay it any heed; as he watched, the skeleton was now surrounded by a crimson ethereal mist like a cocoon.
"Well, I guess my ti for fun is over." Immortika sighed with fake ruefulness, "But don't worry, my hellish friend. I fully appreciate your soul sacrifice, and I can assure you that this is not for this guy but the little nightmare since his soul defenses are simply too weak to handle beings like you who like to ddle in mortal businesses. It's all your thrall's fault for dragging you guys into this, so no hard feelings. But don't worry, he'll be able to handle you all soon."
When Furcas heard Immortika's words, he instantly had a bad feeling about this before he could react. "Soul Blood Sacrifice!"
Furcas couldn't even scream before his consciousness was wiped out. His ethereal body turned into a milky white mist, pulling towards the ethereal crimson cocoon and vanishing, leaving only the eerie cocoon behind.
The next mont, the darkness suddenly started to fade away, revealing Yin Sky Island again while the crimson cocoon remained suspended in the air.
"Tsk, those boring guys, I should've known they were incompetent…" Immortika's voice rang filled with derision, "After the first phase, the restriction on will be increased by many folds, maybe it's the last ti I'll ever help you. But who knows, if you continue to provide with entertainnt, I may change my mind…again. Hehehehe…" Immortika's eerie, wild laughter rang before it started to fade away.
At this mont, in the center of Yin Sky Island, the symbol on the Yin Ice suddenly broke, and a purple streak shot out before directly bolting in Jacob's direction and vanishing into the crimson mist.
But the very next mont, the Legendary Key suddenly appeared, creating a powerful ripple before it vanished with Jacob's cocoon and the key, leaving behind the empty Yin Sky Island, which had now started to crumble!

Far away, in an unknown do riddled with endless void and darkness, hidden here was a palace created with stars, completely different from its surroundings.
Within this palace was a temple at its highest peak, and within this temple was hovering a dark Infinity symbol which any movent. But for a few monts, crimson pules suddenly appeared in this dark infinity symbol before it went dormant.
However, a blurry projection appeared just before the last pulse vanished from the infinity symbol, and it trembled slightly before…
"Hihihihihihihihi…" Wanton laughter filled with mirth and disbelief, yet most of it was ecstasy. Once the laughter faded away, a voice filled with excitent reverberated throughout the void and darkness. "The Cursed One has returned; let the Infinity Cursed Quest comnce...again!"
