Cursed Immortality-Chapter 809 Wisp of Leo (1)

At this moment, Samantha felt terror as she watched the Wisp of Leo rain down light blasts around her barrier while the crystal in front of her continued to tremble.

'Why isn't this brute showing any sign of slowing down? What kind of absurd difficulty is this!? Even my Willow Life Amber is showing signs of depletion! Although this Willow Life Amber is made like a consumable treasure, I can use it with my own soul force and draw all the stored soul force.

'But this damn tower is simply too hateful as almost every trial required soul force usage! It was still manageable until I stepped in this last trial. I had more than 50% of the soul force inside Willow Life Amber when I arrived, but now, only 15% is left!

'If this continues, it won't be long before I lose the Willow Life Amber protection, and I don't think I can take this guy down if its power remains the same. What do I do? Should I use 'it' to flee this place?

'No, if I use 'it,' I'll be sent out the Path of Legend directly, and once Mother finds out, it'll be over for me… but if I don't leave, I'll die!'

Samantha's mind was working at lightning speed as she contemplated her situation and her options. Although she was here before her Mother to claim the Ascension Permit for her, she also wanted to prove herself and solidify her position among her other siblings. Furthermore, she had fought and worked hard to earn her mother's attention and this spot, and she knew this was the only chance she had been waiting for. If she could pass this trial, not only would she have full support from her mother, a Legendary King, but she would also have a legacy of a Legendary King! fгeewebnovёl.com

This legacy reward was another reason she was willing to take such a risk and put her life on the line and unwilling to abandon it all when she was just a step away from getting everything. At the start, she was extremely confident, and she even managed to snatch Leo's legendary key. Everything was going fine until she entered the trial; now, she was feeling despair.

Although Samantha's Legendary Treasure allowed her to withstand the onslaught and recover swiftly because of its unique nature, the sheer power and aggression of the Wisp of Leo kept her on the defensive.

The Wisp moved with speed and strength, making it difficult for Samantha to mount an effective counterattack. Every strike from the Wisp seemed to push her further back, forcing her to use every ounce of her magical and physical prowess just to stay alive.

That's why she was thinking of using her trump card, which she had prepared herself to preserve her life. But the thing was, this trump card wasn't given to her by her mother. She had found it in an ancient ruin, and she hid it all this time, even from her Mother, because she knew if her mother discovered it, she would take it for herself!

Yet now, she was in a dilemma because this treasure was a one-time-use item. If she used it, although she would escape with her life, she wouldn't be able to return, and she had to abandon everyone unless she wanted to suffer the wrath of her Mother.

Although she won't die, the punishment will be worse, and once she falls from grace, she will be the target of her siblings.

While Samantha was having a mental breakdown and on the verge of giving up, Jacob, who was using the chaos of the battle to his advantage and employing stealth to remain hidden, also discovered the anomaly with the barrier.

Although he dared not use his Soul Force, afraid of drawing the Wisp of Leo's attention, his eyes were enough to reveal many things.

He observed the exchange intently, noting the ways in which Samantha's Legendary Treasure was employed and how it was ultimately insufficient against the Wisp's overwhelming power.

Now Jacob was sure that the treasure in Samantha's hand wasn't offensive, but it was for support, and she was wasting it away because he could see the fast depletion of the special soul force within the Willow Life Amber.

'What if I show myself? Would the Wisp of Leo be the same as the Wisp of Taurus and acknowledge me? But if that happens, the trial will be marked as a pass, and I'll appear in that strange space again.

'However, I don't know if that elf would also appear there if she were alive at that time and how the tower would judge it. But if I let her continue, I had a feeling that the treasure in her hand would also be destroyed…'

Jacob was having internal conflict about what to do as he tried hexing her, but just as he expected, that damn legendary treasure made him miss. Now, he was sure his hexes were too weak in front of legendary treasures, and soul force was also a factor.

After he awakened the spiritual nebula, Jacob could sense the Hexes, not only using the Hex mana but also a tiny amount of his soul force when he used them in the Quasi Legends.

Jacob never discovered it because his soul force wasn't strong enough, but now, he can really sense it. So, he reckoned that if he wanted his Hexes to work on Legendary Rank Beings or bypass the protection of the legendary treasures, not only he needed the Soul Force but also Legendary Rank Hex mana. The Three Steps of Legend was the limit of his Hex Core!

Although this was a huge discovery, he could do nothing about it since he didn't have any means to hunt down 100,000 Fable Legendary Rank Dark Beings to evolve his Unique Rank Hex Magic Core to Fable Legendary Rank.

Immortika had already told him that his hex magic core will evolve by following the ranks of the Four States of Legendary Ranks; it would not directly evolve into the Legendary King State Magic core.

This means that if he wanted to hex Legendary Rank beings, he needed a legendary magic core. There was no way to bypass it unless he comprehended the True Curse Magic and made his own curses, which he was planning on doing after he got out of the Path of Legend.

At this moment, Jacob's attention was again drawn to the Wisp of Leo because the ethereal humanoid lion suddenly stopped its relentless assault. However, what happened next shocked Jacob. The Wisp of Leo suddenly started to shine in white light, and around him, countless white particles appeared, and the temperature within the chamber instantly rose.

Jacob instantly knew what those particles were because he was very familiar with their nature, 'This is... Radiation! Light contains a broad spectrum, including visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, and other wavelengths that carry various forms of energy.

'But to draw radiation from light, it would need an advanced understanding of this spectrum, particularly the more energetic forms such as ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, which are associated with radiation!

'I never thought a Light magic user could achieve something like that! This magic is even more fascinating than lightning because if someone can gain control over the three energetic forms (Ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays) within the light, they can cause atomic fusion and atomic fission on a wimp, and the larger the area of light they control, the more powerful the explosion. It's like blasting the space and having an unlimited supply of atomic weapons!'

Jacob suddenly felt excited as he used his Eyes of Judge to analyze the Wisp of Leo's magic manipulation. This kind of concept was something he had never seen before, and it was even higher than the aura explosion he had learned.

Jacob knew that if he could achieve what Wisp of Leo was doing and use this concept and integrate it with his weapons, he could create laser-based weapons that shot at the speed of light. At that time, even Legendary Ranks wouldn't be able to dodge his bullets. Not to mention, this concept could work with lightning and increase his own speed tremendously, and he might be able to achieve the Speed of Light!
