Jacob's eyes narrowed when he heard the warning and order without hesitation, "Bypass it!"
The next moment, Jacob felt the last bit of his Soul Force sucked away, and the hologram map in front of him also vanished as Jacob felt his connection with the shuttle's copilot was also gone.
The next moment, the brightly lit cockpit dimmed down, and Jacob felt the shuttle stop moving.
However, he felt nothing threatening, 'Are we inside the city now?' Jacob thought before he stowed away the shuttle back to his soul and appeared outside the next moment.
The first thing Jacob came in contact with was a thick, dark mist filled with death and a curse aura that was far greater than outside. If there was someone else, they wouldn't be able to see anything here, but his Eyes of Judge could see through even laws now that they were at the advanced stage of awakening.
Jacob found that he had landed close to the black wall. Not far away from him were ancient buildings filled with cracks, some of which had become ruins, but there wasn't a single soul present in this. The entire city seemed empty, like a ghost city.
Furthermore, Jacob could clearly feel Autarch's presence coming from deep within the city, but since his soul force was now completely exhausted, he didn't move forward.
After all, he feared that he might alert something here, and thereafter, the army outside would barge in and attack him in full force.
So, the next moment, Jacob sat down, and the infinity symbol on his glabella started to shimmer before it turned black and emitted the same aura as the law of death!
As if this creates strange reasoning, the mist filled with the law of death started to draw into his soul totem and begin to replenish his soul force!
This was actually the correct way to replenish soul force. As long as a legendary rank comprehends a law concept, they can use it to absorb the law in the atmosphere and turn it into their soul force.
Not only that, but the stronger the law is present in the environment and the deeper the comprehension of the law, the quicker the recovery of the soul force. Jacob learned all this information from a legendary king state legacy he acquired from the Tower of Cancer, and it's called the Medicinal King Soul Advent.
This legacy belonged to a legendary king who called himself the Medicinal King. He created it based on water law and used it for healing and defense. Jacob chose it because the treasures in the Tower of Cancer weren't to his liking, and he happened to want a legacy as a reference to learn the ways of the legendary kings.
So, the Medicinal King Soul Advent was the only legacy that caught his eye since this legacy seemed to be focused on healing and defense of the soul force, and he wasn't wrong either.
There were many healing techniques, even formulas of different medicines, that used soul force and laws as the base and other materials to create terrifying 'soul medicines.'
The way to recover with laws was also mentioned in this, but for Jacob, who had twelve laws at his disposal, his option wasn't just limited to the water element. That's what he's doing right now. He was using the death law in this area to recover his soul force, and he didn't expect he would succeed so easily. This technique was just the basic information in the Medicinal King Soul Advent legacy.
Jacob wanted to start going through the entire legacy once he left this damn place, but he never thought Elia would cause this trouble, so he didn't have time, but he had already decided to study this legacy more thoroughly.
Although he wasn't interested in medicinal alchemy, it could still save his life, and he didn't mind having knowledge of a Medicinal Legendary King!
As Jacob interacted with the law of Death glyph within his cursed immortal totem, the law of death in the mist gathered around him even more, and Jacob felt as if warmth was pouring into his body as his exhausted soul force was recovering at astonishing speed.
He didn't know if it was because of the cursed immortal totem or because he was a legendary king, but the recovery speed seemed extremely normal, and he wanted to find a legendary king to interrogate about it.
Nonetheless, Jacob focused on his recovery since, before anything else, he needed to get those two back, and he had a feeling that he might encounter the legendary Cursed Necromancer King's legacy and the trouble attached to it.
After all, he was already sure that Elia was drawn here by that legacy or something in it, but he still couldn't figure out how she managed to come here with that army outside or if there was something he was overlooking.
It took Jacob around six hours to fully recover his soul force with the help of the dense law of death.
However, this time, Jacob didn't take out the shuttle and just used the stealth of the Illusionary Space Symbiont Skin and headed deeper into the Necropolis of shades.
Although this place seemed empty, Jacob knew something was wrong with it, and the army outside seemed to be protecting whatever was hidden in the undead city.
At this moment, Jacob reached a clearing, but he was shocked to discover that the law of death and curse was extremely dense here, almost in liquid form, which was unexpected. With his eyes of judge, Jacob instantly discovered the source.
It was a pitch-black well, also known as the Font of Eternal Night, and even Jacob felt the law of death glyph in his totem suddenly agitate as if it wanted to devour something in that well. Also, at this moment, Jacob heard an emotionless voice, "Sir! You're here!"
Jacob's eyes flickered with a hint of relief as he instantly recognized Autarch's voice. He was finally within range of communicating with Autarch and could even summon him back.
But he wasn't going to do it because this way, he could easily reach Autarch's position, where Elia should be as well. Without Autarch, he couldn't find Elia by relying on the Soul Tether Нех.
After all, Soul Tether Hex was like a contract; he could only feel its general location and the life status of the being on which it was used. It might change once his hex core evolved, but he needed Autarch with Elia for now.
Jacob quickly asked, "Where are you, and where is Elia? I hope she's with you!"
"Sir, Miss Elia had fallen into the trap of this undead around three hundred years ago. I don't know what this undead is up to, but for three hundred years, this undead seemed to be creating something.
"However, over a hundred years ago, someone suddenly barged into this place, and this undead had a huge fight with this intruder. In the end, the assaulter was forced to retreat. However, this undead was also gravely injured and fell into a deep slumber.
"This undead had yet to awaken, but Miss Elia is also trapped in this undead's array. I only managed to escape this undead's detection by hiding within Miss Elia's ear, and this undead seemed not to want to
harm her in any way.
"However, I can't move as well, or this array might be triggered. I knew Sir would come eventually. So, I was waiting patiently for this day. Now, please give your order. If you want, I can devour Miss Elia's mind right for going against your instructions and troubling you!" Autarch's voice was still emotionless, even as he talked about killing Elia politely as if it were a causal thing.
But Jacob wasn't angry at all. In fact, he was glad that Autarch didn't kill Elia for going against his orders and waiting for his instruction. This showed just how loyal Autarch was, and without his instruction, he wouldn't have taken things into his hands.
Jacob thought momentarily before his eyes flickered with killing intent, "Tell me everything about this undead and what kind of structure this place has where you're being held.
"Since he dares to covet my things, and he's injured, there's no need for him to live any longer!"
