Eternal Thief

Thousands of miles away from the ten continents, deep under the endless sea, is the Sea King Federation, a nation of sea tribes, also known by the land dwellers as the sea magic beasts, sea demonic beasts, or marine beasts.

However, no one could find this ancient civilization because the endless sea was too big and unfathomable, and the Sea Tribes also made sure never to reveal themselves or interfere with the land dwellers.

But it didn’t mean they weren’t curious about them. In fact, for ages, they’d been monitoring them from shadows, and sometimes, they even assassinated some of the ten continents’ brightest geniuses to ensure their nation would remain peaceful and without any threat. .

But strangely, their confidence in being absolute rulers of both sea and lands was now wavering because their President, who had been missing for hundreds of years, returned, wounded!

This caused the high-ups to become alert because they knew their eccentric President was the strongest among them, and he was always looking for a way to break free from the shackle of the eighth realm so he could enter the ‘Forbidden Boundary’.

Yet, he returned in terrible shape, which caused panic, and those guys didn’t dare to let another find out about it.

However, another commotion arose today in the Sea Kings Federation, when their second leader and the most powerful rune crafter they have ever known, the Rune’s Child Freddy, returned, castrated!

As for how Freddy revealed this embarrassing matter?

It was simple: he was going insane with pain and the strange energy that refused to let his wound heal, and he felt worse than death, and he had lost all of his treasures. Furthermore, because of that strange dark energy, he couldn’t transform into his beast state, as it was even more painful.

So, having no choice, he had to return no matter how it would ruin his image, and he wanted to get rid of that terrible pain.

When he returned, the elders were shocked as they saw the normally lecherous and arrogant Second Leader, extremely exhausted and whimpering in pain. Most importantly, he was naked, and a strange owl symbol with infuriating words was imprinted over his face!

Truth be told, Freddy wasn’t revered but feared, as everyone hid their ladies whenever he was around because he had a hobby of plundering women, and he didn’t care whether they belonged to anyone or their age. He was a scourge, yet no one dared to do anything because of his status and importance to the federation.

This behavior was significantly intensified after he became powerful, and he knew no one could do anything to him, especially with their President missing and their Third Leader always studying the Forbidden Boundary. Freddy has no one to fear.

Even among Elders, many hated them and wished to hack him into a million pieces, yet they didn’t have guts.

Now, seeing Freddy’s current state, many felt alarmed, and they all secretly gloated at his misfortune.

Still, Freddy was a pillar of their federation, so they had no choice but to help him.

However, their complexion became ashen when they discovered that the black energy couldn’t be expelled no matter what they did and what kind of medicine they used.

“It’s like a supreme law that can’t be erased!” The most talented alchemy elder spoke gravely.

“Just who could’ve done this to him, and what kind of law is this?” Another elder questioned with squinted eyes. .𝒎

The alchemy elder shook his head helplessly, “It’s clearly not dark law nor corruption. It’s my first time seeing something like it. If we look at it more carefully, with how terrible this law is, it shouldn’t just cause mere pain and stop this area from recovering. It should spread.

“Yet, it clings to this area as if it were following its owner’s wishes not to harm the Second Leader; instead, inflict pain and make sure he feels every second of it until he lives!”

His words made the elders shudder palely as they felt their legs begin to turn numb just looking at it, and they looked at the owl symbol.

“JUST MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY!” Freddy roared at the top of his lungs as his entire body was filled with cold sweat, and he was terribly pale.

Even with all the exhaustion and all the pain, no matter how he tried, he couldn’t lose consciousness, which was even stranger. This entire thing was driving him so crazy that he couldn’t even think straight anymore.

Forget about revenge. He wouldn’t dare to look for that terrible, mysterious man and woman even if he got a hundred more guts. What happened was still vivid in his mind and haunt him like a living nightmare. That cold voice in that darkness still rang deep in his mind.

The Alchemy Elder’s expression changed as he gravely said, “There is a way to get rid of this energy.”

“DO IT, DAMN IMBECILE!” His aura suddenly went chaotic.

“Calm down, Leader!” The elders tried to calm him down as he was on the verge of going berserk and under Qi deviation!

The Alchemy Elder knew things were going south, so he quickly said, “If we can cut the entire affected area, then it might be possible to separate this energy and even heal him!”

“Ahhhhhh…” Freddy roared with bloodshot eyes as a purple Qi suddenly gushed out from his body, blowing everyone away!

“What the hell is going on? Who dares to be so rampant in my federation?!” An enraged voice suddenly rumbled from deep within the federation headquarters.

While the federation was going through its first real calamity since its founding, a pair of cold, astute eyes were watching the beautiful underwater nation like a snake from afar.

He took out a talisman and activated it before saying, “I’ve found them, Prime One. It’s just as you suspected. There is an entire nation of sea beasts!”

—

Millions of miles away from the eleven continents and the federation, there was nothing but water and cloudy Qi radiation fog covered this unknown and faraway region. Maybe no one has been here for a very, very long time, or even if they were, this place was absolutely a forbidden area for living.

But strangely, a dark silhouette was looming in this mist like a ghost before he reached the central part with the densest Qi radiation, enough to even cause trouble for a law comprehension realm. There was nothing there completely empty.

However, an emotionless voice rang in this silhouette’s mind.
