However, the dark fog was simply too strong and seemed to ha was quickly churning away, and the dark fog slowly closed in.

GOT IT

But his reason for doing all that still eludes Zodiac Enforcer. Nonetheless, Zodiac Enforcer knew Asher's background, and he knew a massive investigation would be launched against his master.

"Answer.Me.And.L.Shall.Lead.You.To.Safety.Or.I'll.Claim.Your.Soul!" Furcas's solemn voice rang in Jacob's head again, and this time, there was a hint of haste in it.

However, Jacob didn't seem to hear it as his thoughts were chaotic, and he was hanging by a threat because, for a fragment of a moment, that dark fog had been able to touch Jacob before Furcas's reaction.

But that fragment of a second was enough for Jacob to feel like he was plunged into the depths of hell without any resistance. That power was simply too high for him to handle even a fragment of it, especially the disguise. He didn't even get the chance to reveal his true appearance.

Now, Jacob was completely vulnerable, and with a slight nudge, he'd meet with his end. He could barely able to make anything or even think straight. It was like he had returned to the time when he was towards the end of his life, living on all those machines.

Furcas also seemed to realize it, and his demonic face winced. Although he said that he would claim his soul, he was fully capable of that without any doubt. But the thing was, the current him wasn't, and so he needed Jacob's corporation to claim his soul. If he tried to forcibly take it, he would lose the white light before he could extract his soul, and they would both turn into dust.

Although the Zodiac Enforcer wasn't using its full power, it couldn't because of the rules. It was still using its full authority to get rid of him, which was more than enough to current him.

Still, Golden Constant-51,117's memories had truly piqued his interest, and just Golden Constant-51,117 he didn't want to miss this opportunity to get his hands on one of those godly boons; even just a sliver of possibility was enough for him to take this massive risk.

As for why not simply kill Jacob and take it, he knew it was impossible because those things would vanish the moment their chosen one died until finding a new one and reemerging again.

Only if those 'Chosen Ones' handed them over and transferred their rights willingly can others touch them. Only people in Furcas's position knew about them, but even their knowledge was extremely limited.

That's why he wanted Jacob's soul since he knew those things were soul bonds, and calming his soul meant getting whatever was inside. In a sense, Golden Constant-51,117's approach was wrong from the start as he wanted to serve Jacob's soul and search for his body, which wouldn't been for naught.

Left with no other options and little time, Furcas made his decision, and instantly the lesser demon body of Golden Constant-51,117 started to disintegrate, and his facial expression started to change and turn ethereal, matching his hair and the mark on his forehead.

"YOU!" The Zodiac Enforcer's shocked voice rang at this point as he was watching everything clearly, "You're really transferring more of your soul here!? All for this mortal!? Who is he?!" Even Zodiac Enforcer was gob-smacked by Furcas's bombastic act.

This was simply out of his wildest expectations, as Furcas would go to this extent despite knowing what kind of harm he'd suffer once the dark fog reached him. But what further surprised him was that Furcas still completely ignored him as well as the dark because he didn't seem to be using his power to protect himself but channeling it for some other matter.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Furthermore, Zodiac Enforcer's own power limit increased with Furcas's reckless actions, which gave him even more authority to deal with this rule breaker. Zodiac Enforcer understood that Furcas knew about this balance rule.

Now, he was really starting to get interested in Jacob's identity and why Furcas was taking such a risk for him.

Furcas finally stopped when only the black heart was left from the lesser demon body, which was on the verge of collapsing, but it was enough for him to achieve his goal, which was to get Jacob's soul.

His ethereal blurry hand was about to move towards Jacob's head when suddenly something out of the Zodiac Enforcer and Furcas's expectation happened.

Jacob's small body suddenly started to grow while escaping Furcas's grip, which shocked the ethereal figure. But what was even more shocking was he couldn't seem to move his body, and not only him but the dark fog came to a standstill as well; it was like time had completely stopped.

"W-who..." Zodiac Enforcer, who was also in a similar situation as Furcas, was equally flabbergasted. He was gawking at the giant with tattered clothes.

Some of his body was revealed, showing parts of his runic gray bones, while his face was now covered in a faceless mask; not even his eyes were visible, and from the tattered part of his hood, strings of bright silver hair flutter like flames despite the absence of any wind. "Jeez..." A jolly yet eerie voice overlapping with Jacob's suddenly rang, "I guess half of the cat is out of the bag now. Not like I'm complaining since it'll be more entertaining this way. Hahahahahaha!"

Following the strange speech was an eerie laughter that could send shivers down anyone's spine; even the Zodiac Enforcer was feeling uneasy, which was completely elusive to him for a very, very long time.

Unbeknownst to Jacob, Immortika had joined the stage!
