Chapter 446 The Vile Witch Layer (4)

Just as the static voice trailed off, the hall fell into deadly silence. It became quiet now that to go forward, they needed to shed blood.

Even though the voice didn't say what the difference was between the three doors, even a fool could tell that the higher the sacrifice, the more points they would earn from that door.

Still, their top target was Jacob because of the ridiculous amount of Inheritor Points he had, not to mention that Witch Queen's Key should be quite an important piece as well.

Furthermore, Jacob clearly knew far more than them, and it also became extremely apparent that the thing he told about Bryan was a lie since they were clearly the first ones ever to reach this place, and to go forward, they needed to sacrifice others.

Everyone drew their weapons as they slowly circled Jacob, cutting off his retreat.

"Do you really want to do this?" Jacob coldly spoke as he knew things had gone out of his hands.

Even he wasn't prepared for this, and now everyone became as clear as a mirror for everyone. He also understood the purpose of that map. It had all the checkpoint locations marked, and with it, he could easily fulfill the requirements.

Moreover, the static voice still didn't reveal the third and last type of checkpoint, the Five Inheritor Checkpoints, which were deeply hidden in this place.

'Could it be those inheritor checkpoints can earn me Inheritor Points directly?' Jacob thought as he made a lot of sense now, 'It also didn't make any sense since the sacrifice checkpoint demands living sacrifices, so without living people here, it should be nigh impossible to clear this place. What a twisted game that Vile Witch had created... but first, I need to get out of this mess.'

"Is there any need to consider anymore?" Oply coldly spoke, "It's quite clear that Leader Bryan never made it this far, so you've killed him. We can't trust you anymore, and you are too much of a threat. So, we like you to surrender your life! Everyone, please work together until we get rid of him, if we fought...boom!"

A sonic boom suddenly rang, and the thing everyone noticed was Oply's brain matter scattered in the air as her headless body fell to the floor. It happened so fast that everyone noticed too late.

But when they did, they found Jacob holding a foot-long, heavy black handgun as smoke was rising from its muzzle while the runes engraved on its body shimmered faintly.

Jacob didn't miss this chance, as another gun with the same features appeared in his hand, and he quickly shot toward the most powerful members of the One Fist Team.

He was so fast that the other didn't even react before the three-inch bullets, which seemed to be glowing faintly in green hue, were before their eyes.

"Boom...boom...booom..."

Deafening sonic booms rang in the vicinity, and with each sound, a headless body would fall, and the Guns in Jacob's head turned crimson before cracks began to appear on them.

Jacob quickly stopped when he felt the gun holder turn into an inferno, and he knew those guns would blast apart if he shot more of those special bullets. Nonetheless, he had already taken out 12 members of the One Fist team. Only five weakest were left! n/-O))v--E)(l-)b-/1-)n

"Run!" The survivors were finally able to speak out as they didn't have any will to fight since all of their top members were taken care of by Jacob so quickly and easily.

"Hmph, too late!" Jacob scoffed as he had no intention of spearing anyone, and his short swords appeared in his hands as his heart rate climbed like a rocket.

"You bastar...hikkk." The two-meter-tall orc sensed death coming and quickly tried to cast a spell, but he was simply too slow, for he was a sorcerer, and the next thing he remembered, a dark gray streak flashed past his neck.

Jacob was observing the One Fist team members' specialties for days now, and he knew the only threat was the combatants, so he got rid of them first.

The sorcerers were too slow since they needed to cast spells and required combatants' protection. Without any of it, they could do nothing but fight him within their strongest suit, magic.

Although Jacob still didn't have control over his magic, his weapons and physique made up for that flaw. Even in the epic ranks, only those on the top were a threat to him.

Still, he knew he was too far away to threaten a Unique, as they were completely in a different league than the epics.

Nonetheless, the One Fist Team was nothing without their top combatants and leader, so Jacob easily killed those remaining five with some effort. Blood was running on the floor like water as decapitated bodies were lying there, creating a gruesome scene.

"Why wasting time in chitchat?" Jacob chuckled darkly before he gloomily looked toward the doors and asked, "Now that I killed them. Do I get their inheritor points?"

The static voice rang emotionlessly.

"Congratulations, Faery Human, for earning 17 Inheritor Points. You have now 78 Inheritor Points!"

Jacob asked with narrow eyes, "How do you know I'm a Faery Human?"

But no further answer was made, which made him purse his lips. Still, he couldn't do anything but move forward since he now knew what he needed to do. Once he became the owner of this place, he would naturally get his answer.

So, without wasting more time, he started to skin the corpses with his masterful skills. It wasn't the first time he had done it.

Anything eatable was stowed away, including their hearts, while the rest of them were thrown away. Jacob decided not to consume those hearts since there might be some more ghastly conditions like this. He even filled a container with blood just in case.

Thereupon, he stood in front of the wolf door and put a heart in its mouth. He had no intention of entering the bear door since he had the map, and he was planning to find those inheritor checkpoints and quickly complete his inheritor point tally.

The moment he placed that heart in the wolf's mouth, a clicking sound rang before the door opened, revealing a dark, misty pathway.

Jacob sensed nothing, but he walked right in since he couldn't put his life in danger, so he called a helper before walking inside, "Cursed Immortality!"
