"Who are you?" The woman didn't answer Jacob's question; she sneered, "Soone you don't want to ss with. Now, leave while I'm being reasonable and tell whoever sent you if they dare to continue coming after , I'll start a massacre in the entire Path of Legend. I don't care if you're from the middle or even upper galaxies. As long as we are in the Path of Legend, no one will co to save you!"
Jacob was montarily speechless, as he could tell this woman was too full of herself. But after their brief exchange, he knew she had the power to back her claims. Nonetheless, the more she spoke, the more Jacob beca confused about her background, and now he wondered if she was even from the middle galaxies.
Nonetheless, Jacob needed the Cosmic Vestige of Capricorn, and after witnessing her prowess, he also started to believe that she might've cleared the Star King Difficulty trial. This ans she might also have a Legendary King State treasure or legacy and an ascension permit.
Although Jacob didn't care about the ascension permit anymore since he already had two, the legacy or treasure of a Legendary King State Rank was another story, and he knew she couldn't use both. The forr was because she didn't have ti to study it, and the latter was because it required a vast amount of resources and soul force. She was in a similar situation to him.
In the end, Jacob has no reason to leave as his flaming eyes contracted as he uses, 'Slumber Hex!'
Jacob had already realized her dark magic was quite strange and troubleso, so he decided to use the hex to see if it worked on her since he didn't see or sense any presence of legendary treasure on her at that mont.
The woman standing on the branch of the tree suddenly sensed sothing amiss the mont Jacob cast his slumber hex on her, and she felt lethargic before her eyes began to close.
Jacob instantly knew it had worked and quickly vanished from his spot. He was about to grab her by the neck when his instincts suddenly rang in alarm. Without hesitation, a huge lightning aura blast occurred under his feet as he made his distance between them. But as he was blasted away, his hand suddenly touched her hood, which was lifted!
The next mont, the woman's figure suddenly exploded with eerie dark flas, and the tree she was standing on was instantly obliterated.
Jacob was shocked when he sensed that those dark flas weren't so variation of fire magic but so kind of ability, and they seed as powerful as his own magic—even more power, maybe!
But the main point was that she had broken his Slumber Hex instantly, and he knew the Hex was successfully cast because his Hex mana was used. This also proved another point: this woman wasn't a Fable Legendary Rank Being.
However, this only makes her even more terrifying in Jacob's view because no one has ever managed to break his hex before, not to ntion in an instant.
Nonetheless, while Jacob was reevaluating the woman's prowess, she was also doing the sa, and she was even more terrified because of the Slumber Hex that worked on it. Because she was immune to all Soul Attacks, even Fable Legendary Rank's soul attacks wouldn't work on her.
Yet Jacob's 'soul attack' not only worked on her, but she also had to use the foundation of her entire existence that triggered her automatically to break free from it. She had never experienced anything like this before, and if she had only thought of Jacob as another powerful idiot who was after her treasures, now she completely acknowledged him as an equal opponent who could really harm her!
The pitch-black flas surrounding her entire body instantly retracted, but her face was no longer hidden, as her hood had been lifted off.
Her face was the embodint of ethereal beauty, yet touched with an aura of darkness that set her apart from anything mortal. Her skin was pale, almost luminous, as though it absorbed the surrounding light, making her seem like a figure carved from the moon itself.
Her delicate features were flawless, and her perfect symtry transcended beauty, yet there was sothing otherworldly and intimidating about her presence.
Her eyes were the most striking—twin orbs of pitch-black, bottomless and endless like the void of the cosmos. There was no reflection, no glimr of light in those eyes; they seed to absorb everything, pulling in anyone who dared et her gaze into an abyss of eternal night.
Her gaze was intense and unsettling, as though she could peer into the deepest corners of one's soul, where the darkest secrets lay hidden.
Her hair cascaded down her back like strands of pure night, blacker than shadows, gleaming faintly with a subtle, ethereal sheen. It flowed as though alive as if the strands themselves were woven from darkness, constantly shifting like a slow, flowing river of midnight.
When the light touched her hair, it shimred with hints of starlight as though the cosmos had lent its brilliance to her.
Her lips were a deep, dusky hue, accentuating the quiet power of her beauty. She radiated an aura of dark allure—regal, untouchable, yet drawing all eyes irresistibly toward her.
Her presence was magnetic, but her beauty contained a warning, a promise that stepping too close to this dark goddess would an surrendering to the very shadows she embodied.
In every line of her face, in the depths of her dark, hypnotic eyes, she was darkness personified—beautiful, enchanting, and dangerous.
At this mont, when Jacob landed on another tree, his eyes never left her. When he saw her face, he was montarily stunned by her charm, but he quickly beca Stoic again.
Although her beauty was unmatched, Nyx's appearance wasn't lost on her in any way, and he was already immune to this kind of thing because of Nyx. Furthermore, ever since he had seen Nyx's appearance, he knew higher level beings had strange charm and those with weak ntality would instantly surrender themselves. Even his appearance was like this.
As he looked at her with the sa icy yet vigilant gaze, she also didn't avert her eyes, afraid he would use another 'soul attack.'
However, when she noticed that her face was revealed and Jacob didn't seem to be bothered by it at all, she was astounded because whoever saw her face would always have two reactions, either terror or reverence, and she could sense those feelings.
But Jacob has neither as if she was just a fra of bones!
She realized this person was nothing like anyone she had encountered throughout her journey, and without hesitation, she used a command with her thought, "Old Chaos! What is the deal with this guy?!"
The next mont, on her pale glabella, a symbol like a black hole with an ethereal white glyph appeared, and it seed to swirl in the center of this black hole.
The mont the symbol appeared, an ethereal voice rang in her mind, "If you want my advice, then get away from him. I can't see through him!"
"What?!" The woman was shocked, as this was the first ti she had heard this kind of response from this voice.
However, the woman and the voice failed to notice that the black hole symbol, which should be invisible under everyone's gaze, was completely visible in Jacob's eyes, and the white glyph was also readable.
With Jacob's excellent vision, he thought it was so attack when he noticed that black hole symbol with a white glyph erging on the woman's glabella. But when he saw the tiny white glyph, his body trembled because it read…
'Chaotic Darkness!?'
