Eternal Thief

Chapter 909 Stealing Elemental Ice Orb

Embarked on his sword, Ace headed toward the final key, the Key of Earth, and Ice orb in the possession of Blood Ancestor Margret. 

Ace never expected that the ice orb would be in the hands of the hunter race all this time, and he had no idea how they pulled this off right under demonsʼ noses, no less. 

Furthermore, Ace also paid attention inside the space ring, where Eva showed off her superior prowess, making those devils utterly helpless. 

She was already at the early stage of Law Awareness Ream, and even without her bloodline suppression, those devils were no match for her, even if they came together.

”I can finally go on holiday!” Cyrus chirped in happiness as he sat on his shoulder. 

Ace almost forgot about the little troublemaker over his shoulder and chuckled, ”What holiday? Did your big sis allow it?” 

Cyrus trembled slightly as he timidly replied, ”N-no… b-but I deserve a holiday after so much study!” 

Ace stopped his urge to laugh as he looked at Cyrusʼs resentful eyes. He knew the little guy was undergoing a hectic schedule after his dishonesty was exposed. Cyrus still wonders to this day how his secret spot was discovered. 

Today, he was reciting everything he learned to Eva when Ace called, and she took him with her. Now, he ended up with Ace, which was nothing but good news for the little guy who was being suppressed all this time. 

Ace smiled faintly, ”Alright, but you must do as I said, or Iʼll send you back.”

Cyrusʼs eyes instantly lit up, and he quickly nodded, ”Okay! So, are we food hunting? I can feel the delicious food in that strange mountain!” He excitedly pointed his little wing at the triangular mountain where Blood Ancestor was located. 

ʼHis senses are sharp as ever…ʼ Ace thought. He knew how sharp Cyrus was regarding treasures like elemental orbs. After all, this little guy subdued and ate all the holy gifts in the two secret realms. 

”No, you are not going to eat that. I need it, so behave. Instead…” Aceʼs eyes went sharp as he said, ”Donʼt you want a maid? How about this: Iʼll help you find one, and if you can make her submit, sheʼs yours. Iʼll even help you.” 

Cyrusʼs tiny eyes widened before they flashed with excitement, ”Really?! Itʼs finally my turn?” 

ʼWhat do you mean your turn?ʼ Ace was a little speechless, still, he nodded, ”Yeah, whatever. But if you fail, you need to burn her. She deserves the agony!”

Cyrus thoughtfully nodded, ”Donʼt worry, Iʼll take care of her, and then Iʼll have her play with me! If she doesnʼt listen, Iʼll undoubtedly burn her!” He excitedly revealed his grand plan. 

Ace couldnʼt help but chuckle as his eyes flashed coldly, ʼI might be able to capture her alive with Lawless Darkness. I need to know what this seal is and who is the person behind them. These three hold too many secrets. 

ʼI need to keep her alive at least until I break through to the next realm and then use my soul probe on her, and this way, Iʼll also get some revenge for Alina. But if she resists, I need to get rid of her. Letʼs see how this all plays out.ʼ 

Ace landed on the peak of Blood Mountain and headed toward the secret passage, which seemed to be the same as the Devil Mountain.

Using his dismantle Qi, Ace gets rid of the protective formation, and at this moment, Cyrus suddenly exclaims when Ace used the dismantle Qi, ”Big bro, what is this? Itʼs so scary!” 

Ace was surprised, ”Do you feel danger from this Qi?” asked Ace. 

It was pretty strange because, according to the system, the dismantle Qi had no attacking power, but since Cyrus called it scary, he couldnʼt ignore it.

Cyrus replied uncertainly, ”I donʼt know. I think I canʼt burn it, so itʼs scary.” 

”Is that so?” Ace impassively said, deep in thought, as he walked down the stairs. 

This place was utterly identical to the devil mountain, even the door blocking his way, and the moment he destroyed it, a frigid blue haze escaped. 

Ace felt icy, and this time, he instantly used his stealth because this Qi wasnʼt affiliated with darkness at all and remained vigilant. 

Conversely, Cyrus was excellent because he was immune to this level of cold and remained still. 

The interior was the same as the Devil Mountain but wasnʼt dark and gloomy. Instead, it was frozen in blue ice, and the Qi pool was crystal blue, and in the middle of it was a platform like the Devil Mountain. 

Margret was sitting cross-legged while her peerless face was exposed as she was surrounded by purple Qi, looking like an ice goddess. In front of her was a beautiful silver specter with a glowing silvery orb imbued on top, giving off powerful frigid Qi. 

Ace didnʼt take risks this time and instantly used pick-pocket to steal the scepter before acting against Margret. Because he wasnʼt sure he could get as close to her as Edward, using his authority so early was not good. 

The moment Ace wrapped the scepter with his soul thread, Margretʼs enthralling eyes snapped open, and she just happened to see the Blood Scepter disappearing. 

She was bewildered momentarily as if she imagined things, but when the platform suddenly stopped supplying her with Qi, she knew she didnʼt imagine things, and the scepter was gone. 

”Who!?” She exclaimed as her pale white face turned appalled because her Qi suddenly became chaotic. She was in a deep cultivation state when she opened her eyes on instinct as her soul was connected with the scepter. 

But now that she regained her sense and experienced a blow on her mind, she suddenly entered Qi deviation! 

Ace quickly took notice of Margretʼs chaotic Qi and moved and closed the distance between them, and the next moment, he was standing in front of Margret, making her widen her eyes in horror. 

The next moment, Ace used Lawless Darkness before she could react, and the bright space turned black. Margret, who was trying to suppress her Qi, stopped and started to tremble in fear, which rose from the depth of her very being, and she even forgot about the chaotic Qi within her. 

Not only her, but Cyrus also started to tremble as he found himself in the center of this darkness, and if it wasnʼt for his connection with Ace and feeling safe, he mightʼve started to flee. 

Aceʼs eerie voice rang at this moment, and he sounded no longer human, ”You have two choices: submit or die…”
