Cursed Immortalitychapter 486: hunter’s legacy pieces

Jacob was intrigued when he saw the faint glow in the dark depths of these icy waters, which were the result of a massive meltdown caused by the atomic grenade.

However, he didn't know how much of the ice mountain had melted. If this water body was even made with that mountain, or if he ended up drowning below the ice lands.

One thing he could tell was that this was contaminated with radiation, which didn't bother Jacob at all because of resistance. Furthermore, he couldn't see the surface or light above, which could only mean he had drowned too deep or the surface was blocked.

Whichever the case might end up being, Jacob headed toward the blue glow in the depths. He didn't know where the Fiend Yeti corpse was still intact, but it was a huge loss for him because he just lost a unique rank heart!

Nonetheless, it mattered little as long as he could complete this trial, and this blue glow might be something good.

The deeper he went, the colder the water turned, and Jacob had no choice but to wear all the armor and even activate another defensive barrier around it to keep himself from freezing to death while the water pressure wasn't a problem.

As Jacob grew closer and closer, the blue glow became brighter, and at this moment, Jacob was finally able to see where that glow was coming from, and his eyes widened.

He saw at the bottom that the Fiend Yeti's completely charred and half-destroyed, mingled corpse was lying there. The blue glow was coming from its magic core as it was releasing terrifying frosty spirit magic energy.

Elated, Jacob quickly approached the corpse and didn't even give the magic core a second glance and headed towards its chest, which was still intact, and cut it open.

To his relief, the Fiend Yeti's heart was still intact, and it seemed to be perverse well because of the ice water, and the radiation hadn't spread this deep into the water.

Jacob quickly stowed it away with excitement, and only after that did he take the Ice Magic Orb, which was releasing terrifying spirit mana that almost froze his hand.

But just as he removed the magic core from the Fiend Yeti's stomach, he spotted another unusual thing: a purple scroll covered in a white sparkling bubble!

'What the…' Jacob was flabbergasted since this didn't make any sense and tried to retrieve the scroll. The moment he touched the white bubble, it burst open, and the purple scroll turned into a light streak before darting into his start watch, vanishing!

Jacob was startled by this sudden turn of events, and the purple streak was too fast for him even to retract his hand before it entered his star watch.

At this moment, his star watch vibrates strongly, snapping him out of his stupor, and he quickly activates it. He wanted to see what was that purple streak.

"Congratulations, Faceless Ancient, for acquiring Hunter's Legacy Piece!

"Please acquire all the legacy pieces to convert them into complete Hunter's Legacy.

"Hunter's Legacy Pieces: 1/5

"NOTE: Hunter's Legacy Pieces can be traded through Star Waters. In case a trial participant kills the Legacy Piece owner, the Legacy Piece will be transferred to the killer. In case the Legacy Piece Owner dies naturally or by some monster, after 48 hours, the Legacy Piece will be randomly transferred to a random Beast of Direction!"

Jacob stared at that notification for a little while and read it a few times before he confirmed nothing was wrong with it.

'So, to summarize it, I will get this sort of scroll from every beast of direction that I killed. No, this isn't the case. I have to retrieve the scroll myself. It doesn't matter if I killed it or someone else.

'As long as someone else even touches this thing, it will instantly be transferred to their star watch just like mine. That NOTE also made it clear that anyone can claim this legacy as long as they collect all the pieces, and even if they don't, the pieces will go back to a beast of direction.

'So, if someone with four pieces gets killed randomly by some beast, the person who killed the 5th beast would get all the five pieces. The complete Hunter's Legacy. What a vicious yet interesting game. It's far simpler than the Dark Ruins but more cruel in many ways.

'Furthermore, the Epic Trial Plain is really not so simple, just as Immortika warned me. I never thought that the Beast of Directions would turn out to be a Unique Rank. If that's the case, what about the final beast?' Jacob thought gravely as he sighed at his bad luck.

If not for the medallion, he wouldn't dare to even think about going against these terrifying monsters. But now, he didn't have a choice but to move forward.

Jacob gave the Fiend Yeti's mingle body glance before storing it away as well. Although the corpse was contaminated with radiation, as long as he had immunity, it didn't matter.

Furthermore, this corpse belonged to a unique rank magic beast, and despite experiencing the direct explosion from the two atomic grenades, only a part of it was blown off while the skeleton was completely intact.

Jacob wasn't going to give up on it since he knew once he consumed that heart, he needed everything to make his body compatible with his increased strength.

Like a fish, Jacob swam upward at high speed while controlling the surrounding water, and he quickly reached the surface. He was 8 miles deep in the water before, and when he reached the surface, he found it blocked by a dark layer of ice.

'Just as I suspected. That entire ice land is floating on a water body. I must've drifted away from the mountain when the meltdown happened.' Jacob thought before he took out his sword and slashed open a pathway for him to head upward.

The ice layer was surprisingly over 2,000 feet thick, and Jacob appeared in somewhere in the icy plains. But he noticed a strangeness. The seemingly endless blizzard had stopped!
