Cursed Immortality

Chapter 651 Comprehending the First Blood Glyph!

After Autarchʼs awakening, another four years passed for Jacob in solitude.

At this moment, the skeleton of Orange Sturgeon was in front of Jacob, and above his hand, a glob of crimson blood was swirling. With a thought, he controlled the glob of blood, and the next moment, fine hair-like crimson threads shot out from the glob as they started to wrap and wove around the arm bone of the Sturgeon.

Jacobʼs eyes were fully focused on the woven blood threads around the bone. As time passed, those blood threads started to dig into the arm bone and take the shape of a rune.

When the crimson rune was completely etched on the bone, the white arm bone suddenly turned crimson and glowed while emitting a powerful aura. But the next moment, ʼboomʼ the bone suddenly blasted into pieces.

But Jacobʼs eyes fluttered in ecstasy, ʼSuccess! I finally managed to carve a rune from Longevity Schema on the bone without blasting it in amides! With this, Iʼve fully mastered the first blood glyph and the basics of blood manipulation!ʼ

Jacob was filled with bittersweet emotion as he looked at the mountain of shattering bones in the corner. Ever since he started experimenting with the blood manipulation levels on the others, he didnʼt know just how many skeletons he had wasted.

He had long run out of the skeletons of the foxes and wolves of unique rank, and if not for Autarch, he would have had to hunt for more himself while leaving this place from time to time.

With this study supply of test subjects and his diligence, he finally reached the structural level of blood manipulation where he could shape and sculpt blood on bones!

However, Jacob didnʼt dare to test it on himself yet until he was completely confidence. He had already solved the problem at the energetic level, where he needed to manipulate the bloodʼs life force and magical properties.

The answer to this problem was quite simple, and it took me around five hundred corpses to figure it out. The life force in the blood seemed to be tangled with the magic force, and he found that the life force seemed to have a Unique Signature of its master, which stopped others from plundering it.

Not only that, but the blood of different species has their lineage secrets hidden within, and the magic force is like a lock on those secrets. So, if someone tries to probe the life force or magic force, both properties suddenly react at the same time and self-destruct, especially if the owner is dead.

Jacob was a newbie to blood manipulation, and he didnʼt even know how to plunder life force or peer into the secrets of the bloodline yet, so when he tackled this problem by controlling his blood manipulation to stop it from triggering the magic and life force in it, he succeeded.

However, this required a very keen control over the blood manipulation and over his cursed heart, so he had to comprehend the blood glyph even more diligently. The third structural level became even easier since it was related to using the blood and magic force in blood to manipulate the blood.

If he avoids probing them, he can bypass triggering both the life force and the magic force. He then finally started to experiment with carving runes by creating blood threads through blood manipulation.

It took him almost 12 years to just comprehend the first blood glyph and understand the blood manipulation at a basic level.

”Cursed Immortality!” Jacob summoned Immortika at this moment.

”What do you think? Is my current level enough for Sculpting Longevity Schema on myself?” Jacob asked since he wanted Immortikaʼs input on it. After all, if Immoritka gives him assurance, heʼll be without any worry and start the final stage.

”Hehehe, you have made quite a progress by comprehending only the First Glyph of Cursed Blood Progenitor, and all I can tell you is that, sadly, itʼs not enough!”

Jacob frowned slightly, but he had expected this response since even he felt this level of control was not enough. After all, he still didnʼt know how to truly tackle the life force and magic force within the blood. He had just found a shortcut, and thatʼs why he didnʼt dare take a risk.

”Now that Iʼve mastered one of the blood glyphs, can you at least tell me how many more I need to comprehend before I can start with the final stage?” Jacob asked, hoping to be informed.
