Eternal Thief

Chapter 606 The Mysterious Tower

The North-East Coastline of the Royal Demon Nation, the Forbidden Forest, was still surrounded by a thick layer of mist and as abandoned as ever.

Only the sounds of waves and sea breeze could be heard in this barren part of the Royal Demon Nation.

However, in the darkness of night, right outside the mist, a black-clad figure appeared. His blue eyes, filled with ancient wisdom, shimmered in elation as he looked at the mist.

An old voice suddenly rang in his head, ”We finally found the third part of our soul!”

”Hmph, if only you didnʼt hand over our soul wisp, then it would be a more joyous occasion!” The figure hoarsely transmitted with a hint of anger.

”Iʼm as aggravated as you about the sudden disappearance of the soul contract, but donʼt forget, as long as we combine at least two pieces of our soul wisp, weʼll be able to sense the soul wispsʼ direction directly.

”So, even if that boy died and someone took the soul wisp, or he had hidden it somewhere, weʼll be able to get it back. Itʼs not like anyone could destroy our soul wisp or hide it in some treasure!” The old voice coldly retorted.

”Why do you think Iʼm still calm if I hadnʼt known about this?” The figure sneered, ”But we better leave after collecting the third soul part. This place is enshrouded in a bloodline detection formation, and we canʼt go undetected for long!”

”What do you expect from the Demons? Those bastards are cohort with Devils, and from Ancestorʼs personal directives, he left a strange warning, ʼThey are like two sides of the same coin!ʼʼ The old voice sternly declared.

”I didnʼt have that memory. I just hope this one had the memories of the complete Psyche Invasion. This way, it will be easier to recover the reaming two parts, and Iʼm sure one of the soul parts is in the hand of that traitor, Dream Shatter!” Killing intent flashed into his eyes, and his voice was filled with deep hatred.

”Then letʼs recover this part and leave!” The old voice was also laced with killing intent.

The next moment purple Qi surrounded the figure before he vanished into the mist…

In the dark environment of the mysterious independent space, a sailboat was swiftly moving in a seemingly endless dark sea.

A muscular figure sat on the rooftop of this sailboatʼs cabin with a small chick on his shoulder. They were naturally Ace and Cyrus.

It had been their 25th day since they started heading north, and Ace didnʼt know just how much distance they had covered, but with the sailboatʼs speed, it was probably hundreds of miles, if not thousands.

However, he didnʼt lose his calm and patiently waited as he traveled in this silence and dark space. On the other hand, Cyrus was quite happy because he got the chance to travel with Ace, and he chatted endlessly like a curious child.

Ace was also happy to have Cyrus as his company, and he got the chance to teach him about common sense and the way of thieves. He even managed to coax him into stop calling him master and Bro instead.

At this moment, Cyrusʼs tiny eyes suddenly lit him as he chirped before exclaiming in his childish voice, ”Bro, look, thereʼs light!”

”Yeah, I see it.” Aceʼs eyes were also glowing in elation as he looked at the horizon.

There was a bright light that was like a beacon in this dark place and hard to miss, just like a lighthouse. He didnʼt know the distance, but he knew it was probably quite far.

Nevertheless, since there was light, there was the possibility of life.

Ace looked at the fate map and the indicator, and it was pointing him in the lightʼs direction.

”We should reach there in three or four days. Letʼs hope the people are there friendly.” He chuckled while his eyes were filled with sharp intent.

He was determined to get out of this place, and anyone who stood in his way will be courting death.

Cyrus was also excited since he was tired of seeing this dark space, ”Iʼll burn them if they donʼt listen to bro!”

”Just remember not to talk in front of anyone and use mind transmission.” Ace smiled and told the little guy.

”Iʼll listen to bro!” Cyrus quickly agreed.

However, Aceʼs expression changed when he was only a day away from the light because he could now vaguely see just where the light was coming from.

It was a massive round tower in white color, probably as large as the Demon Temple, and the top of this tower was lit in bright white light.

ʼWhat kind of place is this?ʼ Ace thought gravely while looking at the high tower.

Time quickly passed, and Ace was now only a mile away from the tower.

Now that he looked closely, he felt that this tower was even wider, probably 10 miles wide and higher than the demon temple.

Furthermore, this tower was not standing on top of some land, but its base was under the Black Sea, which means it probably rose from the bottom and was taller than it looked.

He also saw cracks on the towerʼs walls as if it would crumble at any time, but Ace could feel the oppression feeling as he got closer to it, and he knew it wasnʼt as simple as it looked.

Lastly, the indicator was also pointed at this exact tower, which made his heart churn since he could feel his fortune sense was also compelling him to approach this mysterious tower.

Furthermore, this tower was dyed in a Bright Golden color, neutral White color, and lastly, Black!

”This thing is strange. I can feel like itʼs… alive!” Cyrus prattled as he revealed with a curious look in his eyes.

Aceʼs eyes winded when he heard this unexpected remark of Cyrus and acutely questioned, ”Alive, how?”

”Hmm… I donʼt know. I just feel being stair at by that thing, so itʼs probably alive.” Cyrus frivolously described, which only made Ace frown and vigilant.

He knew Cyrusʼs senses were far higher than anyone in this heaven, and he was probably more prone to such a hidden existence.

”Do you think weʼll be in danger if we go toward it?” Ace questioned with uncertainty.

He knew this tower was probably his way out of this place, so he had to approach it no matter what. But this didnʼt mean he would just jump right into it.

Cyrus replied, ”No, I donʼt think so. It poses no danger to us.”

Ace had a sigh of relief since Cyrus didnʼt feel any danger then; it meant he was not afraid. However, it was a tantamount thing that this tower was alive, but now that he thinks about the cracks on the tower, it means that it was not in good shape.

Then someone came into his mind as his eyes winded, ʼDonʼt tell me itʼs a treasure with a Spirit like Moira!ʼ

Ace clearly remembered that System revealed the existence of the treasure spirit when he found the Eternal Thief Fate Compass.

His breath quickened as he looked at the high tower with a hint of disbelief, ʼIt wonʼt be another Eternal Provenance Treasure, right? No, it would be too good to be true that two Eternal Provenance Treasures are falling into mortal sky heaven. But what if….ʼ

Ace couldnʼt help but look at the tower with a burning gaze as he quickly asked the System, ”System is that tower an Eternal Provenance Treasure?”

However, instead of System, it was Moira who replied, ”No, it is not an Eternal Provenance Treasure, or I will be able to sense it!”

Ace sighed in relief because if that tower was really an Eternal Provenance Treasure, then it was way scarier than Moira. But then there was an evident disappointment in his eyes.

Then Ace asked another question as he was visibly calm down, ”Then is that treasure had spirit?”

”Yes, but this spirit is an extremely low level, not intelligent like me.” There was a hint of disdain in her voice, ”Furthermore, this thing is broken badly. The spirit is only alive because it is absorbing all the Qi in the atmosphere to keep from dissipating after suffering such damage.”

Aceʼs eyes shone in realization, ʼSo thatʼs where all the Qi go! But even Cyrus wasnʼt able to tell this fact. It seems only treasures could measure each other more accurately, or it is because Moira is far more precious than normal treasures with spirits!ʼ

Ace smiled wryly and changed his question, ”Do you know the rank of this treasure?”

”I-I canʼt!” Moira radically declined.

Ace didnʼt force the matter since he knew the darn Systemʼs restriction had appeared again.

So, he asked another crucial thing, ”Then what kind of treasure is it? Or will I be in danger if I try to subdue or destroy it?”

Aceʼs eyes went cold as he said the last two words!
