When the Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array started to glow over Jacob's torso, Jacob felt like someone had started a bonfire over his chest.
But he had gone through far worse pain than this during the Cursed Heart Emergence stage, so he could endure this fiery pain.
Jacob's eye was on Immortika instead of his own body because he had no way of knowing if everything was going as it was supposed to since there wasn't any more description about what would happen after the Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array would get active.
However, Jacob knew Immortika would be able to tell because it knew his body condition better than him and had almost omniscient-level knowledge.
"What a fascinating array, whoever created it has to be… hahahaha. In the end, it's going to be used by my inheritor. What a fate…"
Jacob could only frown after reading those ambiguous lines and was preoccupied at this moment to even inquire about them.
Right at this moment, something astonishing happened. The symbols on Jacob's torso drawn in a square suddenly came alive as they started to crawl toward the center of his chest where the Brain Hunter was lying motionlessly.
As those symbols moved over Brain Hunter like ants, they would vanish into his pitch-black body. Jacob could clearly feel when those symbols were absorbed in the center of his torso; the fiery pain was also shrinking toward the center.
The entire array drawn over Jacob's torso took 100 seconds to be fully consumed by Brain Hunter's tiny body, and right at the end, Brian Hunter's body was glowing. At the same time, Jacob felt something like molten iron laying over his chest, and it wanted to tear apart his skin and enter his body.
At this moment thereafter, Brain Hunter's body suddenly started to sink into the center of Jacob's chest magically. While there was no trace of cuts or blood gushing out before it fully sunk into the chest, it vanished without a trace.
On the other hand, Jacob was completely alarmed by this because all that feeling suddenly vanished. He looked at his masculine torso, which was now without any trace of the Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array.
But before he could inquire about it from Immortika, his eye winded when he felt something digging out right at the place where Brain Hunter had sunk into his chest.
Not only that but the gem band he was wearing on his wrist, which was the slave controller of the Brain Hunter, the gem on it suddenly cracked before it shattered, which alarmed Jacob even more.
If the Brain Hunter broke free from the enslavement while it was right inside his body, then he was as good as gone if the Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array had failed.
But attention was drawn to his chest again when he spotted a black marking suddenly starting to emerge at the center of his chest.
Soon, he discovered that the black marking was not just a random marking, but it looked exactly like Brain Hunter, like a vivid tattoo of brain hunter right in the middle of his chest, and Brain Hunter's body was twisted like a spiral.
The moment the tattoo was complete, a foreign memory suddenly appeared in Jacob's mind out of nowhere.
After processing the memory, Jacob's eyes shimmered in astonishment and disbelief. Still, his panicked expression soon vanished, and calmness with a hint of ecstasy returned to his face as he stood up on his feet.
"You get it, right?" Immortika wrote.
Jacob sneered, "You knew this would've happened, so I don't think I need to tell you about it."
"Hehehe… now, now, I only discovered when the Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array was activated entirely. Who could've thought that not only this Enslavement Array can fully enslave a fantastic insect, but it could even make it reside in your solar plexus?
"This kind of method that can make any being reside in your solar plexus is legendary. This method has many benefits. Like now, you can summon the Brain Hunter at will as well as retract it back into your solar plexus as long as it is in a certain range and even sense its general direction no matter how far it is from you.
"In a sense, even if Brain Hunter ran away from you, it would never be able to escape your grasp anymore since it had entered your solar plexus. It now held your Mystic Signature. I'm pretty sure this is all the information you already got after the succession of the ritual array, right?"
Jacob didn't deny it as he nodded, "Except for the part about this Mystic Signature thing, the rest is as you said. I can feel Brain Hunter's presence somewhere in my chest, but it's not within my body like an organ or blood, but something ethereal."
Jacob then flipped his hand as his eyes shimmered mysteriously, and the next moment, the tattoo over his chest suddenly shimmered darkly, and Brain Hunter appeared in his hand, looking the same as before.
But not for Jacob becasue he could now feel its thoughts, and he had this strange feeling that he could end its tiny life with a single thought and order it as long as he thought in his mind.
'Go forth…' Jacob thought, and the next moment Brain Hunter instantly reacted and started to crawl toward Jacob's forearm before Jacob told it to stop, and it did instantly.
"Hehe, you'll know what Mystic Signature is eventually, so consider it as a heads-up. But this time, you have really profited big time, and if this Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array now can make this Brain Hunter into your eternal slave as well, then the future possibilities are limitless." Immortika wrote.
Jacob fully agreed with Immortika, as only after successfully performing the Blood Insect Enslavement Ritual Array did he understand just how powerful this ritual array was and the benefits of having a fantastic insect in his solar plexus.
But the final step still remains, which was to let the Brain Hunter use its first poison on him!
