Chapter 168 Nightmare Knight Legion (3)

Jacob's eyes narrowed when he saw everyone'd startled expression, including Jayceon, and he twisted around toward the magic detection crystal. What he saw made even him shocked!

Surprisingly, the white crystal was begun to crack, and they were spreading on the crystal-like spider web.

Thereby, the crystal suddenly burst like glass thrown to the wall, falling on the floor in pieces.

Jayceon eyes were narrowed into slides because he had no idea what happened himself since the magic detection crystal was never broken in the history of the potential test.

The spectators were also bewildered because the crystal didn't glow but broke and they were as confused as anyone watching right now.

Jayceon finally looked at Jacob and sternly said, "What is your kind? Lose that mask right now!"

Jacob felt a bad feeling from Jayceon at this moment, completely different from his jolly -self earlier.

But he also wanted to know what this phenomenon meant, so he summoned Cursed Immortally instantly.

As well as he replied to Jayceon since he didn't want any misunderstanding in the middle of the legion's headquarters!

"I'm only here to take the test because I was told. I'm new in these lands and have no idea what all this means." Jacob stated while he took off his mask, revealing his still scared face, which looked hideous.

While he asked Immortika in his mind coldly, "What just happened?"

Although Jacob wanted to find Magic within, he wasn't optimistic about it since this crystal might not work on him, like so many other species.

However, this situation where this anomaly appeared was the last thing he wanted when he was right in the middle of the wolf's den!

Now he could only cooperate as much as he could and hope that whatever it was not put him into some dangerous situation.

Jayceon eyes narrowed when he heard Jacob's explanation, and on his face, he could clearly tell Jacob wasn't lying and even cooperating without raising any fuss.

Immortika also replied to Jacob's question, which was actually wasn't much of a reply and more of a sarcasm.

"Hahahah… it's not my fault that flawed glass shattered, right?"

Jacob cursed inwardly when he saw this note, and he knew this was really going to be a pain in the rear.

"How many strong species than me or on my level are around me?" He changed the question.

"Enough to keep you company unless you died of exhaustion, hahahaha…."

Jacob grimaced when he read that, so he gave up on the plan of escaping if things went awry.

At this moment, the same cold voice rang from the speaker again, "Participant Number 97, please head toward the meeting area!"

Jayceon's lips curled when he heard this, and he handed Jacob his participant ticket and pointed toward the metal door on the left side.

"Go. I think you might get the opportunity of life." He told meaningfully.

However, Jacob would never believe it. Yet, he still moved since he didn't have a choice, but in his heart, he had already decided to vanish at the first chance he got.

Even if this incident doesn't raise any red flags, it was enough reason for Jacob not to be able to relax completely.

Under everyone's eyes, he entered the bright passage behind the door.

He also wore his mask and kept Immortika open.

Soon, he reached a cross pathway.

At this moment, he heard light steps from one of the pathways, and soon he saw a tall, slim figure approaching. She was another barbarian, wearing sink-tight white body armor, raveling her curves and big chest. She was like a wild beauty with sharp blue eyes filled with a fiery glint.

She coldly looked at Jacob and said, "Follow me." She then turned around and walked away without caring about Jacob.

Jacob also wasn't in the mood for a chat and followed silently.

To Jacob's surprise, they cross another corridor before they exit the arena from a door, and in front of them is a bridge connected with the main building.

"Where are we going?" He finally asked as they walked on the bright, which was connected with the second floor.

"To meet the Nightmare Knight Commander!" She coldly replied without hiding it.

'This is really not a simple matter.' Jacob was gloomy because he knew the Knight Commander was actually like the Guild Master or Branch Manager of the Nightmare Knight Legion.

However, Nightmare Knight Commanders were only appointed in branches like Easter City, which had a Nightmare Warrior Arena with it, and other branches were controlled by Nightmare Knight Vice-Commanders.

It was because any Nightmare Knight Commander had at least a 2-Star Strength!

So being called by the Nightmare Knight Commander of the Easter City was really a big deal, and Jacob didn't even know how this meeting would bode for him.

Soon, they entered the main building, and Jacob was greeted by the sight of a closed door and a birdcage elevator.

She moved toward the elevator without any hesitation and looked at Jacob before saying in disdain, "This is an Elevator, don't freak out. Just stand your ground, and it'll be fine."

Jacob cocked an eyebrow when he heard it, 'She's thinking I don't know what an elevator is? This piece of old junk is not something that could make me shocked.'

He sneered inwardly but didn't reveal his thoughts and obediently stood beside her.

Jacob could guess even these elevators were luxury in rare plains, so anyone who had seen them first would be shocked and marvel at them.

The barbarian woman locked the gate and then put a metal key into the keyhole in the button panel, and after twisting it around, she pressed the bronze button with the number 100 on it, and it brightened up as the lift started to rose.

However, when he looked at Jacob to see his marvelous expression, she was disappointed as he remained static without showing any hint of surprise.

'Hmph, pretending to be cool.' She thought disdainfully before stopping paying attention.

"It seemed things were moving quite 'smoothly,' huh? Hahaha…"

Jacob read that line in the book with exasperation. He knew this damn book was just enjoying his misery while knowing precisely what was happening.

"You're sure you don't want to give me any hint, or I might die today, or even worse, they might turn me into a test subject. At that time, you might not be able to enjoy yourself anymore." Jacob tried to trick the book for some hint about this situation.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

"Whatever, I couldn't help you no matter what, even without any restriction. I'm just a book, not a weapon. Violence is not my forte. So you're on your own."

"Don't make me laugh by saying, 'Violence is not your forte.' You're probably made for violence!" Jacob coldly refuted in his mind.

"OH? You found out, but how? Hahahaha…"

Jacob ignored the hateful book. If not for because he needed it to detect strong species around, he would've already made it disappear.

The elevator was relatively slow, and it took over five minutes to reach the 100th floor.

When they both stepped outside, there was a spacious, long hall with ten doors on each side, while only a single pair of doors was currently opened at the end of this hall.

There were also two more birdcage elevators in the center of this hall.

The barbarian woman led Jacob toward those open doors, and he followed.

When they entered the room, Jacob's eyes narrowed because he saw two familiar faces sitting on chairs around a rectangular table. They were Douglas and Nathanael!

Finally, a muscular person was sitting in front of these two, his skin was filled with small diamond shape blue scales, and there were two small purple mounds below his snake-like cold eyes.

Immortika revealed the detail about this person at this moment, "He is an Extraordinary-Tier-1 Purple Poison Snake Man, one of the demi-humans. Quite a rare breed between a Snake Men Race. He also had Intermediate level 4-Star Poison Element Core! Tsk, tsk, useless to you, I guess, still deadly, though!"

Jacob's heart turned cold as he didn't dare to mess around with such a person, so he remained quiet and decided to see why he was summoned here.

The barbarian woman respectfully speaks to the Snake Man at this moment, "This is the person you requested for Commander!"

This Snake Man was none other than the Nightmare Knight Commander, Nixon!

Nixon coldly looked at Jacob with his snake eyes, and suddenly his pale lips curled upward, "Thank you, Ally, please give us the room. Mr. Jack, please have a seat."

Ally didn't question and left before closing the doors.

Jacob suddenly noticed Douglas and Nathanael's expressions at this moment, and they were somewhat cold and… ugly!

Nixon spoke in a friendly tone, "Let me officially introduce myself, my name is Nixon, and I'm the current Knight Commander of Easter City's branch. Mr. Jack, I already know about you from Secretary Douglas.

"As for why you were called here after that strange incident in the arena, I'll explain everything but first…." He looked at Jacob meaningfully and questioned smilingly, "Do you want to join Nightmare Knight Legion… permanently!"
