Jacob has been within the Infinite Space for over months now ever since he had encountered the Immortal Nimrod. He didn't dare to leave because his opponent was out of his league. On top of that, his biggest reliance, the Infinity Pendant, was rendered completely useless against this enemy.
Furthermore, Jacob had been immersed in analyzing Immortika's cryptic words all this time, almost to the point of obsession, because this time, he knew his life was in real danger.
The only solace Jacob had was the Gluttony Mask, which could provide him with some safety. But Immortika had clearly told him that if Immortal Nimrod really brought out the Longevity Path Glory Gem, even the Gluttony Mask will be rendered useless.
Jacob didn't feel safe going outside against such an enemy who could find and attack him at any time and whenever they wanted. His biggest fear was Immortal Nimrod might not attack him alone this time.
