Jacob was surprised when he heard Immortika explain the Infinity Blood Sacrifice. He wanted to punch himself after he heard that the initial price of entering the tower, which should've been only 600 years, was now almost ten tis that.
Still, Jacob didn't make the decision right away and looked at the lifespan section of the cursed book.
_____
-Lifespan: 900,350 Years (All Youthful)
_____ 'I still have over 900 thousand years in my lifespan, so spending so won't be a problem. After all, now that the Cosmic Vestige of Capricorn has been claid, I can't hesitate any longer. Not only do I need to get the vestige back, but I should also complete the Legendary Master Key.
'Once Nyx is done evolving, she should be able to devour dreamscape realms of Legendary Rank Beings. Nine hundred thousand years is already a lot; there is enough ti to get even more. But I won't get more chances of completing the second phase.' Jacob thought as he beca resolute.
"Tell , how much lifespan did a legendary rank being had?" Jacob asked.
"Oh, it's distinct from race to race, while the rank of Legendary Vestiges also influences lifespan. But the general lifespan of a Fable Legendary Rank is around 10,000 years; a Legendary Noble can live for 25,000 years, a Legendary Lord has 50,000 Years of lifespan, while a Legendary King, a demigod, can live for 100,000 years.
"But as I said, races, bloodlines, natural treasures, and legendary vestiges could significantly affect lifespan. However, the maximum lifespan a Legendary King could acquire, with all the top factors involved, is 500,000 years.
"Furthermore, just as these factors can increase lifespan, there are also factors such spells, abilities, law attacks, and other dangerous attacks, curses included, that can greatly reduce lifespan!"
Jacob nodded in understanding as he looked at his own lifespan again and couldn't help but feel sowhat better since he had almost two tis the lifespan of a legendary king.
Still, when he thought about the 150 million years that Immortika sacrificed to help him, his heart ached, and he quickly stopped thinking about it since he knew it would only ruin his mood more.
"Alright, I've decided." Jacob said, "How should I use the Infinity Blood Sacrifice?" "Hahahaha… now that's the spirit. Rember, tools are ant to be used, not to tuck away in so display. If you don't use them, how would you master them? I just want you to understand that if you have the ability or tools to take things that can benefit you, never hesitate to use them, even if it ans damaging or breaking the tool. You can always acquire new tools, but benefits seldom co, and so might not co again.
"I'm not saying you should risk your life since it would an abandoning your goal and going against your convictions, but there are tis when sacrifices are necessary.
"Hehe, now, if you want to use the Infinity Blood Sacrifice, just call the ability na in your mind or openly, and as long as you use it, it'll activate on its own and what to do next. You'll understand soon; it's a surprise, hehehe!"
Jacob's eyes flickered with uncertainty when he heard Immortika's encouraging yet cryptic words, but he didn't dwell on them and rembered them in his heart before he focused on the latter part.
'A surprise, huh?' Jacob sneered before he decided to try it as he thought, "Infinity Blood Sacrifice!"
The mont Jacob showed the intent to use the Infinity Blood Sacrifice, an ethereal neon symbol of infinity appeared on his glabella, and Jacob sensed a mystical yet omnipotent power suddenly connecting with him. Jacob didn't know why, but he felt as if he could do anything at this mont.
But it wasn't all as sudden; the Cursed Immortality hovering in front of him suddenly emitted mystical light, and under Jacob's astonished eyes, the page of the cursed book started to turn and only stopped when a blank pitch-black page appeared.
Jacob instantly knew that this might be the surprise Immortika was talking about. But before Jacob could ask Immortika, the latter beat him to it, "Now, you need to state your wish by saying 'I Wish' at the start, and it'll directly appear on this page. Once the wish is written, the price will also appear, and only after you say, 'Carry Through' will the wish be fulfilled!
"Lastly, if you're in a hurry, you directly use the command 'Cursed Blood Sacrifice' after the activity of the Infinity Blood Sacrifice. This will allow you to bypass both commands and fulfill your wish directly.
"But let warn, until you comprehend the first immortal chapter, if you use this command, your every word will be your wish, and you don't know how much lifespan you'll be paying for the wish, so be very careful when you use it!" Immortika's tone beca solemn towards the end. Realization dawned on Jacob at this mont as he looked at the pitch-black page and heard the steps to make a wish. Although this seed quite simple, Jacob could guess these two commands, 'I wish' and 'Carry Through' should be a safety protocol to make sure not his every word turn into a wish or if he couldn't pay the price for a wish, he would still have the option to back down.
So, he instantly decided never to use the 'Cursed Blood Sacrifice' command until he comprehended the immortal chapter. He was now even more curious as to why the immortal chapter affected this reality-bending ability.
Nonetheless, Jacob threw these thoughts back of his mind as he looked at the pitch-black page and finally uttered, "I Wish to enter the Tower of Capricorn's final trial and confront the Wisp of Capricorn to get its acknowledgnt!"
The next mont, Jacob's exact words started to appear on the pitch-black page in crimson writing, and the language used to write his wish was exactly the sa language that Cursed Immortality was written in!
Once his wish appeared on the page, a mont later, new words appeared right below it, and when Jacob read them, his expression instantly changed to disbelief.
