"The rank above Rare Rank is known as Extraordinary. Like 12-Common-Tiers and 9-Rare-Tiers, the Extraordinary Rank also has different tiers.
"There are 6-Extraordinary-Tiers of Extraordinary Rank just like the remaining Rank of 4 to 9 Stars. Any being that could form a 4-Star Core was known as an Extraordinary, and these kinds of existence could crush any Rare-Rank like bugs.
"This also ends the explanation on the Element Cores and their ranks."
Jacob's brows were knit together after reading the information about the Extraordinary Rank.
He then asked sternly, "Then can I fight against an Extraordinary Tier-1 species right now?"
"Hehehe, right now your body is as strong as a peak Tier-8 Rare expert, and not every rare tier has powerful bodies. Every species has its perks and weaknesses.
"Some might not even awake an element in their life but still have the prowess of rare tier nine while some reach 3-star element core despite being a rare tier-1 species.
"However, to be called an extraordinary species, not only does one need a body as strong as a peak rare tier-9 but an element core of 4-star rank as well. Without completing these conditions, no one could call an extraordinary.
"As for how strong a Rare-Tier-9 body is, that friction killer bullet made with the Basic Grade titan iron couldn't even cut a Rare-Tire-9's skin despite its speed. It might only leave a scratch.
"Those four fellows you killed didn't even have a rare tier-2 body among them, so you could sly them like chickens. They were all at the very bottom of the rare rank.
"There is a more accurate way to measure physical strength, but you have to look for them yourself. I'm not a strength measuring machine after all, heh."
Jacob cocked an eyebrow, but he still accepted this vague assessment, and he got some useful clues as well.
Like he was physically as strong as a rare-tier-8 species while common-grade titan iron wasn't enough to kill someone with a rare tier-9 physique, but the speed was still fast enough.
Then Jacob asked another important question which was about himself, and deep anticipation shone in Jacob's eyes. "You said any being in rare rank can sense elements and create an element core, then this means I have that too?"
"Of course you do. But I also mention that the rarer the element, the harder it was to sense it and cultivate it into an element core. Sensing the element is also the hardest part. As for your element, you're on your own.
"I'm just a book that could lead you to immortality, not toward the path of magic, so don't expect anything from me." Immortika wrote.
Jacob merely grunted in exasperation at this, "This much is enough. As long as I have the ability, I'll find a way. Then what about this agelessness of heart? What is this?"
"It's exactly what it means by those words. Your heart will no longer age ever, and time has no longer effect on it. But don't even think for a second that the other part of your body will not age, or you'll become immortal with just an unaged heart. It's not everlasting!
"The moment the hundred years of youthful lifespan end, you'll start aging normally again except your heart, and it could have different consequences on your body." Immortika mockingly replied.
"Heh, I'm not that delusional. Since I have got everything I want to know, for now, I'll be going if you had nothing to add." Jacob sneered.
If it was another time, he would've closed the book after getting his answers before this book could annoy him, but today he has given it a chance to say its piece this time.
It was Jacob's way of showing appreciation for the information.
"Hehehehe, you're not ungrateful after all. So, I'll give a piece of information as a gift for completing the second level and keeping me entertained.
"Nurture that thrall of yours into a star-level being!"
Jacob squinted his eyes and inquired sternly, "You mean Alice? But why?"
Although Immortika didn't name the person, he could easily guess who it was directed toward because right now the only thrall he had was Alice since Harrison was dead and he didn't have more, nor he required.
This came as a surprise as well, because he was planning on leaving Alice without any prior notice. He no longer required her help anymore and was useless to him.
But now he was thinking otherwise since Immortika's words couldn't be taken lightly.
"Hahahaha… who knows what I said? I've already forgotten. Did you forget I'm bound by…"
"Fuck off." Jacob instantly closed the book in exasperation before it could repeat the rules bullshit, which clearly wasn't applied to it at all, but it just won't admit.
Nevertheless, Jacob no longer plans on leaving Alice behind anymore.
He then picked up the things in the cave and stored them all in his newly upgraded infinity pendant. Before, the space was quite limited, so he always had to store small and important things but now it was more than enough to store everything.
He could even store a living person inside the pendant. The only things left in the cave were the equipment Jacob no longer needed.
Suddenly, a large scanner appeared in Jacob's hand. He still hadn't forgotten about the marked location in this scanner. One location was in the Aureate Kingdom while the other was somewhere on the border river.
So, Jacob was first planning on raiding this location before going to find Alice and then leaving this place. The second location would be in his way.
Jacob also wore his mask and one of the capes of four skulls, which was made with a special material as well.
He was now 6.5 feet tall, and when he tried running at full speed, he blurred, and then he was shocked because he covered 1 mile per second and nearly destroyed everything in his path!
'This speed!' Jacob was shocked as he barely managed to stop himself.
Furthermore, he noticed that his heart rate was still calm despite his absurd speed.
'It seemed there are more details that Immortika didn't mention a rare-tier-8 physique. Like my hearing is now spread into a mile radius, as well as my vision radius. I need to test and then should learn how to control my strength. It'll be easier to trick someone.' Jacob thought with a devious smile on his lips.

Three days later,
With a blur, Jacob appeared at the foot of a mountain in the Aureate Kingdom.
If not for Jacob learning about his newly advanced body, he would've reached this place within half an hour at his full speed, but he was delayed by three days.
But Jacob has learned many things about his new physique, as well as the huge energy consumption that came with it. Even though it was as bad as the hunger of his second level but it was still not something Jacob could ignore.
Furthermore, Jacob also discovered that he could control up to 2X acceleration at will. He can enter and exit at will without going through any trouble of meditating.
Most of the time Jacob spent was on hunting for meat, and he started to miss titan tears because they were more convenient when it came to energy restoration easily and quickly.
But it was a pity the titan iron vein was emptied by the skulls, and his reserve was used.
Jacob looked at the scanner in his hand as a red dot was blinking a few meters away from his current position.
As he followed the virtual map in the scanner, he finally reached the location, but there was nothing but rocks and a plain rocky surface, nothing else.
At this moment, a beep rang on the scanner. "Open the Door of Base NO.2?"
Jacob cocked an eyebrow and pressed the open on the screen.
The next moment, the rocky surface below Jacob suddenly trembled before a small crack appeared, and it slowly opened inside, revealing an underground passage. A small map also appeared on the scanner at this moment.
Jacob's lips curled upward seeing the change. 'Now, this looks more like a dark organization's secret base. This scanner has more function than I think.'
With this thought, Jacob entered the passage, which was a stairway toward an underground facility, and as he suspected, with the scanner in his hand, the facility started to lit in lights, and he could see everything clearly.
It was a long corridor that led toward a metal door, which was also opened by the scanner, and when Jacob saw what was behind that door, his eyes dilated.
There were glass cells filled with hibernation liquid, and inside those glass cells were hideous humanoid monsters sleeping.
"Mutants!" Jacob instantly recognized them since they weren't much different from the ones he encountered in the lion forest except for their skin color and horns. They look quite similar.
Besides those glass cells, there was a working desk, and many files and books were neatly placed on it as well as a small instrument.
Jacob smiled coldly, 'So, this is the date that the prick was talking about!'
