Eternal Thief

?α?dαsηθνε| ?

When Ace heard Grim Ancestor’s wails and looked at the cocoon, he didn’t know what to think about Freya’s ruthless innate ability. It looked simply too evil and torturous, and if he ever encountered an opponent like her, he didn’t want to be captured alive!

“How much longer do you need?” Ace tried asking Freya with a very mild tone as if he was afraid of breaking her focus through the house call, which had been activated since the day he contacted her so they could easily talk in secret.

But when he thought about the commotions Grim Ancestor was making, he knew Freya would be fine.

Furthermore, after he told her about Eva’s status, he noticed that Freya appeared to be somewhat aggravated, and he knew things were not going to be smooth sailing anymore.

Although he understands that Noa reacted this way, as he wasn’t a dummy, but Freya was out of his expectations since she always acted cold and aloof and didn’t strike him as someone who was capable of liking someone.

Nevertheless, Ace wasn’t going to reach this conclusion so soon since there might be some other reason since Freya’s mind worked in myriad directions, unlike Noa.

Furthermore, despite having Eva’s blessings, he didn’t want to court more women, especially the women in the Thief House, as it would only make his life even more miserable in many ways.

Still, he could only sigh and decide to see how things play out since he also knew there was no escaping from the Thief House once you entered!

Freya emotionlessly replied, “I’m 94% done, and in about three days, this body will belong to me.”

“Alright, contact me the moment you have his memories,” Ace replied in a content tone.

“Hmph!” Freya coldly harrumphed before no longer bothering with Ace.

Ace tactically didn’t both her anymore and looked into the house, and a gentle smile appeared on his face when he saw Eva was cultivating with all her might and making massive progress.

After making sure she was comfortable before he retracted his sense back, and he was still flying between large walls while he followed the map direction.

Even though Ace was on the right path, this didn’t mean he could take a detour from the dangers residing on this path anymore. There were many red areas on the pathways toward his goal, and he was hoping flying over them would work.

However, he had thoroughly underestimated the Sun Chaser’s Maze because, despite activating his stealth in the red zone, he suddenly felt an immense crisis.

A massive sharp dark claw suddenly appeared out of nowhere a few meters away from Ace, and the intent behind it was extremely terrifying.

Two golden swords instantly appeared in Ace’s hands, and he slashed them toward the claw without holding back, and even Cyrus reacted by shooting out his spirit fire!

“ahhhh!” ．

Ear-piercing shrills suddenly rang the moment Ace’s dark sword slashed, and Cyrus’s spirit fire blasted apart that dark claw. A hideous flying creature fell on the floor, and his body was already starting to turn into ashes because of the blue flames on it. ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom

The golden swords in Ace’s hands suddenly experienced cracks on their blades, but they didn’t break, nor Ace cared anymore since they were just grade-6 swords. He already acquired many powerful swords from the previous trials.

However, right at this moment, Ace’s heart palpitated because, out of nowhere, red fate points appeared on the map, and in the next movement, more than twenty claws were raining down on him.

Ace’s expression went grim as this red area was really going to be troublesome, but he had no choice but to go through with it.

However, the little guy was even quicker than him to react as it chirped in excitement, “I’ll burn them all!”

Under Ace’s astounded eyes, Cyrus’s tiny figure jumped toward those claws, and the next moment, he was suddenly enveloped in blue flames, and its tiny figure started to expand into a flaming bird.

The moment that flaming bird clashed with those claws, eerie shrills rang, and one after another, more corpses of the same creatures started to fall down while turning into ashes!

It was Ace’s first time seeing Cyrus using this kind of skill, and right now, he looked nothing like a harmless little bird at all but a terrifying fiery creature that only knew how to burn everything in its path.

Ace then saw all those incoming red fate points quickly retreat from wherever they came from, and Cyrus, after burning everyone he could see, returned as that flaming form suddenly vanished, and he landed back on Ace’s shoulder.

“Hahaha, those ugly guys deserved to be burned!” He ecstatically laughs, clearly happy about his handy work.

“Where did you learn to do that?” Ace asked the little frivolous bird.

Cyrus looked confusingly at Ace before he replied, “I don’t know. I just feel like doing it, and I did it!”

Ace was speechless and smiled wryly, ‘I guess this is what it means to have a terrifying bloodline lineage. He probably awakened it after eating all those materials. I suppress his growth, but it seems it won’t matter at all.’

Ace brushed the little guy’s small head with his finger, which he enjoyed very much, “Alright, I leave those guys to then. You can burn them all if you want, but if you can’t handle them, just tell me.”

Cyrus was instantly thrilled, “Don’t worry. They are no match for me! No one is! Oh, except for you, Big Bro, Big Sis Eva, and Big Sis Freya…” He started to call out all his big sisters’ names.

Ace gave him a side eye, “How humble of you.”

He then started to fly at full speed again, and this time, no more attacks happened by those strange creatures, and he successfully passed the first red zone.

Just like that, Ace and Cyrus traveled for a day and passed three more such red zones, and each time, Cyrus would scare those creatures so much they won’t dare to block their way anymore.

But to Ace’s surprise, for he was feeling somewhat tired, but the little guy seemed to be at his peak state like usual, and this made him somewhat depressed!
