Jacob looked at the ck ink in the cauldron with tion, ''The hardest part is done. Now came the moment of truth…''


    Jacob knew the ink creation was the difficult part because of the materials, and there was a chance of failure. However, the next part was difficult on its right because it was finally the time to perform the Blood Insect Envement Ritual with the Fantastic Insect.


    But before that, Jacob thought coldly, "Cursed Immortality!"


    Cursed Immortality appeared, and pages turned before the familiar writing started to appear, "Hehehe… don''t tell me, you are getting cold feet at final moments?"


    Jacob sneered, "It''s called cautions not getting cold feet. I want you to alert me the instant anything goes wrong so I can kill the Brain Hunter!"


    "Hehehe, what makes you think I''ll do that?" Immortika asked.


    "Because it''ll ruin your so-called entertainment, and you might''ve already guessed if I go down, I''ll make sure you''ll rot for hundreds of years, and right now, I''m fully capable of doing just that. By the way, I''m still pissed about you hiding the truth about Art of Nature." Jacob replied matter-of-factly.


    "Tsk, tsk, you''re as petty and paranoid as ever. But this is what makes you more interesting. However, I''m not your danger rm clock, so no promises. And I have no idea what you''re talking about; my memories are all jumbled up… hehe."


    "We''ll see about that." Jacob scoffed before he ignored the entric book. He couldn''t be bothered by it as he knew it wouldn''t answer about the Art of Nature even if he begged as long as it didn''t want to, so it was meaningless to say more.


    Then a band appeared in his wrist with a gem before he flipped his hand, and a palm size pitch ck centipede appeared, which was none other than the Eclipse Alipes Imhoff, aka Brain Hunter!


    The Brain Hunter was just the same as Jacob had stowed it a few years ago and almost forgotten about it if he hadn''t acquired the information about the Fantastic Insects.


    Furthermore, the Brain Hunter could be said to be Jacob''spanion from the moment he reincarnated in this mysterious world. They were both Decker''s ves, but Jacob ended up turning the tables on him, and Brian Hunter, in Pig Head''s body at that time, became his ve instead.


    ''How ironic, both of Decker''s ves had mysterious backgrounds which that dick has no idea about. He even managed to steal Cursed Immortality from under the Giant race''s nose. He was truly lucky, but in the end, all those things be mine…''


    Jacob couldn''t help but snicker in mockery when he thought about that shit of a goblin who he hated as well as slightly admired.


    "It is stillmon tier-5, or was it 6?" Jacob asked while he looked at the cold centipede in his hand, which seemed dead, but he knew it was very much alive.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    This was the ranked 18th Fantastic Insect, and he was holding it alive right in his palm, and probably soon, it would be turned into his eternal ve. It was a strange feeling of aplishment Jacob was having right now.


    "Does it matter? It''s still just amon rank, mindless insect that has no idea about its true background. Only after reaching the Rare Rank will it start to awaken its intelligence, and once it awakes its Growth Type Magic Core, trust me, it''ll be as intelligent as you when you were 12 years old, Hehehe…"


    "I guess you''re right." Jacob agreed before he ced the Brain Hunter on the table, and then a paintbrush appeared with a magic gem attached to it.


    The very next moment, every cloth on Jacob''s torso vanished as he appeared bare chest. "I''m still somewhat unsettled about painting this ritual array design over my torso with magic nheless."


    "Ritual arrays have different meanings behind them, and they all have their own unique method to perform them like different cultures have different rituals for their Gods, this is the same things, that''s why it called ''Ritual Array.'' But not all of them are gentle like mine, hahahaha…"


    "Gentle my ass…" Jacob refuted it as he remembered when he performed the ritual after collecting all the magic cores, and it was nothing but gentle. He was feeling unsettled because of his previous experience in the first ce.


    Still, he knew there was no point in backing down now aftering this far, so he dipped the brush into the ck ink and then carefully started to draw over his torso ording to the ritual array design scroll.


    As he drew the ritual array, the magic gem on the brush shimmered, and Jacob felt a cold, eerie feeling as the ritual array was slowly materializing over his torso. By the time it wasplete, Jacob was filled with cold noxious feeling as if he wanted to vomit out his entire stomach.


    But he didn''t dare to mess up as Immortika had not written anything, which could mean nothing was wrong or it simply didn''t care about anything. Whichever the case was, Jacob was now too far away from the turning point.


    When the finally small pentagram in the middle of his chest was drawn, Jacob''s entire torso was now filled with strange symbols, and the very next moment, the cold noxious feeling started to vanish as it was now reced by a feeling of warm rising from that array on his body.


    ''ording to the instruction, I need to put the fantastic insect in the pentagram as quickly as the array isplete…'' Jacob quicklyid down while picking the Brian Hunter as his torso was now really starting to heat up. All that wet ink had now turned into tattoo-like markings.


    Without hesitation, he ced the Brian Hunter in the middle of his chest where the pentagram was and ordered it to stay there.


    The very moment Brain Hunter was ced over inside the pentagram, something astonishing happened. The ck ink on Jacob''s torso suddenly started to shimmer in the ck glow!
