Chapter 752: Reel in the Net (2)


    ?


    The fall of Yin Sky Ind caused a huge ssh in the star ocean, creating massive waves. After all, it was a 10,000-meter projectile dropping from around twenty-thousand-meter-high altitude.


    However, what happened next was truly shocking. The water around the ind started to solidify into purple ice, creating a cier, and it only stopped when the ice spread around fifty thousand meters.


    This sudden turn of events shocked almost everyone who was observing. At this moment, amidst the chaos caused by the fleeing army of Ice Fiend Locusts and the fall of Yin Sky Ind, a dark figure stepped into the center of the volcanic ice, where lies the frozen headless figures of the Queen Ice Fiend Locusts and her most powerful royal guards.


    Jacob coldly looked towards the headless corpse of Queen Ice Fiend Locust, now covered in frosty purple ice; he snickered with derisive before waving his sleeve and stowing away the frozen corpses with their blood.


    At this moment, when the Queen Ice Fiend Locust''s corpse vanished, Jacob''s attention was instantly drawn by a shimmering purple rune within the volcanic, liquid ice, which gave a terrifying frosty air that could even affect minds.


    "So, is this the benefits you are talking about?" Jacob questioned the cursed book hovering in front of him ever since he started his ''assassination.''


    After all, he knew some people were eyeing him in the dark, so he had to keep his ''rm clock'' with him all the time, especially now that the threat of Queen Ice Fiend Locust was gone, and he was going to receive the ''reward''.


    "Hehehehehe, now that was somewhat boring. Well, I guess I should expect nothing less from you." Immortikamented whileughing, which implied a contradicted statement from itsment.


    "Nheless, you guess correctly. I was talking about the Yin Ice, which is used to create the core of this damaged Fable Legendary Rank Treasure!"


    "Wait, did you just say this ind is a Fable Legendary Rank Treasure?" Jacob instantly questioned with a hint of disbelief.


    He hadn''t expected that the Queen Ice Fiend Locust had a Fable Legendary Rank Treasure all this time, yet she died so...easily.


    "Hahahaha, I said ''damaged,'' or do you think you could''ve assassinated her so easily? Although I admit the space bullet concept is genius, you aren''t the only one who ever considered it. It''s just that you have yet toe in contact with ''simr-minded'' assassins.


    "If this treasure was not 95% damaged and operating at only 5% of its full capabilities, you wouldn''t have been able to infiltrate the space in its territory unless you have equal rank treasure or higher. The horrors this treasure could''ve unleashed upon the lesser gxies under the Queen Ice Fiend Locust, hahahahaha, just thinking about it makes me excited!"


    Jacob felt a sudden chill running down his spine when he heard the ghastly revtion, and he felt he had just dodged a bullet and was d that the ''bug bitch'' didn''t have such luck.


    As for the cursed book, who wants to watch everything being destroyed just for its own entertainment, Jacob is even more vignt and curses himself for being careless. After all, just when the ''benefits'' promised by Immortika have ever been easy to take?


    Furthermore, Immortika also hinted that the same technology was present in this ce, and he wasn''t the first to have invented it. This realization made Jacob both gloomy and slightly excited since this meant if he could get his hands on it...


    Taking a deep breath to calm down, he sternly asked, "Thank you for the info. But you still didn''t tell me what use I have for this Yin Ice?"


    "Hahaha, don''t you want this treasure? Despite its damaged state, you can still repair it. But if you go for the Yin Ice, it''ll be destroyed. Although I admit whoever used the Yin Ice for this treasure was an absolute fool and didn''t know the true value of Yin Ice. Still, this treasure is quite unique."


    "Don''t try to tempt me. If I want to repair a Fable Legendary Rank treasure, I need to first go to the middle gxies. Not to mention, the time required is still not clear, and the rarity of the materials is another fact. So, getting imminent benefits is the only choice in this scenario.


    "Lastly, its size is too big, and I can''t store it in any space treasure I have. It would be akin to putting a target on my back if I try taking this treasure, not to mention, if I take it to the middle gxies, there is over 90% chance that someone will recognize its value. Unless there is a deeper use of this treasure that I don''t know of, the risk is not worth it." Jacob coldly retorted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "Hehehehe..." Immortikaughed again, clearly pleased with Jacob''s reasoning.


    "Alright, I won''t tease you anymore since you don''t have time. The Yin Ice is one of the fundamental materials from which an ''Elemental World'' is created. It embodies the passive, feminine, and formless aspects of creation. It is the counterpoint of a ''Yang me'' that represents the active, masculine, and shaping aspects. Together, they create the foundation for all magical elements. Don''t ask for more or anything else. This is the only thing I can divulge right now.


    "As for Yin Ice properties, it''s not just icy. Yin Ice can possess a chilling presence that seeps into the bones, slowing movement and thought processes down.


    "Yin Ice could dampen or even nullify other forms of magic, creating areas where spells fizzle out or have reduced effectiveness. It can also slow the natural decay of objects or even living beings, leading to true suspended animation.


    "Lastly, Yin Ice exists in a constantly shifting state, appearing as swirling mists, imprable ciers, or even a formless, clinging frost. Whoever found this block of Yin Ice without the Yin Ice scattering first was extremely lucky, too lucky, in fact.


    "As for why I said you could benefit from it, the Yin Ice is also a source of pure potential, raw magical energy that can be shaped and molded into other elements and help them evolve rted to the Yin element. Simply put, Yin Ice can evolve Magic Cores and, in special cases, turn them into growth-type magic cores and, in extremely rare cases, turn growth-type magic cores into Constetion Magic Cores!"


    Jacob''s eyes trembled slightly as he wasn''t ignorant of growth type or constetion magic cores, especially thetter, which was at the pinnacle of magic.


    "So, you''re saying I can use this Yin Ice to evolve my Water element core?" Jacob instantly grasped the crux of the matter since he already had a vague idea about the ''Yin'' element after Immortika exined, which excites him.


    "Hehehe, what do you think? It''s just that you need..." Immortika suddenly stopped before it burst into maniacalughter, startling Jacob.


    "Well, I guess our talk has to wait, and you will not be able to collect the Yin Ice if you can''t handle this. So, let''s save the rest until you retrieve it. Because it''s time for entertainment!"


    Jacob instantly felt something amiss because, from Immortika''s ambiguous hints, he knew the ''Hyenas'' were here!
