Eternal Thief

Chapter 897 The Trinity Alliance Mountains

The city was built without any walls, and all the buildings were ancient and grand, and the natives were all from the devil race! Furthermore, all of them were strong. 

Ace and Winter observed from the sky while Ace was also paying attention to the fate map. According to the fate map, one of his targets was at the peak of this mountain, and right at this moment, three black fate points suddenly flew out of the city and headed toward the same direction in haste. 

”This mountain and city should belong to the devil race, right?” Winter said with shimmering eyes. 

Ace nodded before commenting, ”Itʼs pretty obvious at this point. The other two mountains should be where the demons and hunters are. I think the in charge of this place left to greet the guests, which provided us with a chance to gather information. How about we head to the same building where those three just flew off?” 

Winterʼs lips curled up, ”Alright, I never impersonated a devil before; this should be fun.” 

Without hesitation, both of them activated their stealth skills and headed toward the tallest building in the city and landed in an alleyway a hundred meters away from the gates, which powerful devils of the early stage Qi soul manifestation realm guarded. 

They didnʼt enter the building right off the bat because there might be some formations, and they needed information before they could plan their next move, and those guards were the perfect target for that. 

”I can take their memories; can you manage it?” Ace asked Winter despite knowing her abilities. 

Winter smirked and replied, ”Of course I can. Let me show you how I rescued your little sister, and donʼt be jealous.” 

The next moment, she locked on one of the guards with her faceless thief sense and activated the fifth ability she got when she broke into the Qi soul manifestation realm. 

ʼFaceless Possession!ʼ 

An untraceable aura suddenly released from Winter while her eyes shimmered in faint, murky light, and the next moment, right behind the devil guard, a tiny corporeal black fox with seven tails entered the guardʼs martial space! 

No one even saw or noticed it, and even after the black fox vanished into the guardʼs martial space, he seemed completely oblivious to the fact. 

Ace knew what Winter was doing better than anyone because he could see her status, and this ability was too strong and a must-have for a thief. 

======

5. Faceless Possession

[Description: Infiltrate the targetʼs knowledge sea with Qi Soul through the martial or soul space and take possession of the targetʼs entire mind while putting the target in a dream-like state. The Faceless Thief then can read all the memories and take possession of the targetʼs body completely!]

[Possession Forfeit: Forfeit the possession of the victim will put the victim in a chaotic mind state for 12 hours, and the target shall have no memories of the events that transpired during the possession.] 

[Limitation (1): Target must be in the same or lower cultivation realm than the Faceless Thief.]

[Limitation (2): After the successful Faceless Possession, the Faceless Thief will turn into a mortal until the possession is forfeit or the victim is killed.]

[Limitation (3): While in Faceless Possession, any damage dealt to the victim will also mirror the Faceless Thiefʼs real body. If the victim is killed while the Faceless Thief is still in possession, the same will happen to the Faceless Thief.]

[Cooldown Period: 30 Days]

However, this ability was a double-edged sword if not used carefully. But used correctly, it was simply too terrifying to ignore. Winter was able to easily rescue Alina while using this ability in the Azure Wind Continent and fooled everyone. 

Furthermore, she can use all the abilities of the target or skills that the target learned to their full potential, and that is why she was so confident in herself. 

As for the limitations, as long as she was careful and avoided being killed, she would instantly use possession forfeit, and everyone would return to normal. 

The look in the crimson eyes of the devil guard suddenly changed at this moment as his lips rose in a cruel smile. 

Winter glanced at Ace smugly and proudly said, ”Itʼs done. Now that guard is me.” 

Ace merely glanced at her in annoyance and didnʼt want to give her the satisfaction she wanted and sneered, ”Took you long enough. Iʼve already annexed all the memories of the other guard. You still have a long way to go before you can show off against me.” 

Winterʼs eyes widened in disbelief because even she needed some time to read all the memories of her victim completely, yet Ace was already done in a few seconds. 

”Lair!” She instantly refuted and refused to believe it 

But Ace was telling the truth. The soul probe had become ridiculously strong after he reached the peak of the dark soul manifestation realm that even a Qi soul manifestation realm cultivator was no match for his soul right now. 

He was even confident in probing the memories of a Law Awareness Realm expert up to the intermediate stage. That was the advantage of him having a special cultivation path, and it began to become more apparent and wider as he reached higher realms. 

Even though he was really envious of Winterʼs abilities, he still was on top of the food chain when it came to thievish abilities. 

”Donʼt believe me? Let me tell you, this secret realm is called the Trinity Alliance Mountains Secret Realm, and we are currently in the All Devil City of Devil Mountain, which the Devil Race has controlled for thousands of years.

”Furthermore, as I said before, this is indeed the place where all the top figures of the three races who prove their worth or the top powerful figures come. 

”The former in case they reached the peak of the Law Awareness Realm, and they were relocated here and their families. The latter is when they reached the Law Awareness Realm Intermediate Stage. These are the qualifications to enter these holy lands of the three races. 

”This is also the true hidden trump card in the three races sleeve. But there is a minor problem: no one can leave this place without the help of three ancestors, and the three of them wonʼt live here because they were constantly in search of cultivation techniques of the Law Comprehension Realm. 

”Those guards are actually the direct bloodline members of the number one Blood Devil Clan of the devil race, and they are elites. You can confirm it yourself…” 

Ace grinned playfully while looking at Winterʼs dark and defeated expression!
