Eternal Thief

Chapter 605 Helpless Demon Ancestor

Ace couldnʼt help but feel guilty as he looked at cheerful Cyrus because ever since he was born, Ace hasnʼt let him out, and the time he did was when he was in trouble and nearly put him in immense danger.

Now that he had time to think about it, after Alinaʼs incident that how his ambition had grown, he also noticed that he had become somewhat cold and even a little bit ruthless.

Ace had never thought becoming a thief and constantly pretending to be someone would affect his own personality and feelings. He didnʼt want to turn up like someone who didnʼt have their own emotions and always hid behind fake emotions and lies.

So, he decided to change his ways a little bit so at least he couldnʼt lose the real him. The incident with Alina was a great wakeup-call for him to notice his own change.

Will he still be the Old Ace if he loses his own personality? Will he continue to be fake around Eva and Alina?

He didnʼt want that!

Ace looked at Cyrus as his mask vanished, revealing his handsome face, and smiled gently, ”From now on, you can remain with me and learn how to be a little thief!”

Cyrusʼs tiny eyes glow with uncertainty. He could feel Aceʼs loneliness deeply hidden behind his smile.

”Is the master being bullied by someone? Let me burn them!” He quickly said grimly as he suddenly released his soul sense, giving Ace a startle since he could feel the oppression like never before!

Ace chuckled while touching Cyrusʼs little head, ”Do you think I can be bullied?”

Cyrusʼs eyes shone in realization, ”Oh, so youʼre sad because you bully Big Sister Freya?”

”Maybe.” With a wry smile, he put him over his shoulder and looked outside, and mumbled, ”Sadness is sometimes a good thing to remember who you truly are….”

Cyrus was more confused, like a little child, as he didnʼt discover anyone around and became somewhat curious, ”Where are we? Itʼs so suffocating to breathe!”

Ace knew Cyrus was talking about the absence of Qi and answered, ”I donʼt know either, but we need to get out of here as soon as possible so that I can rescue my sister.”

”Oh, is Big Sister Freya or Big Sister Noa in danger? Iʼll burn everyone who dares to bully them. Of course, not you, master. Only you can bully them.” Cyrus seriously stated.

”No, they are fine. I was talking about another big sister.” Ace chuckled.

He felt much better as he talked with Cyrus, who was native and curious as they journeyed toward the unknown east direction.

At this moment,

Demon Ancestorʼs figure was hovering in the sky as he looked toward the vast sea, which was filled with turbulence, water waves, and whirls.

After Ace mysteriously ʼvanishedʼ from the cave, he thought that he had again used his space ability again. However, to his dismay, the formation didnʼt pick any space undulation this time.

He nearly went berserk and destroyed the entire hidden cavern, as well as turned those three beasts into a bloody mist.

After he again started an aimless search, and now he was at the edge of the continent, and if Ace had really escaped through here, then he was gone for good!

He suddenly flipped his giant hand, and a large black communication cube appeared, and he activated it.

Soon, a husky voice rang, filled with vexation, ”Just tell me you found the key?”

Demon Ancestorʼs hoarsely replied, ”I was so close, but he somehow escaped again!”

”Even the grade-8 formation was useless?” The husky voice sounded with a tingle of astonishment and disbelief.

Demon Ancestor grimly answered, ”No, it led me right to him, but then he vanished out of thin air. It might be one of his trump cards.”

”I donʼt know just how could such a person even appear among the human race again!” The husky voice sighed.

Demon Ancestor sneered, ”Do you believe heʼs really from the human race? I even used that so-called sister Dream Shatter caught, but he still escaped without even flinching. I donʼt think heʼs the person theyʼre claiming him to be, and heʼs from the witch race!”

”No, I had confirmed that it was indeed the person they are claiming him to be, and after some deeper investigation, things are turning out to be even more absurd.” The husky voice sounded grim.

”Even absurd then he managed to get his hands on the key?!” Demon Ancestor yelled angrily.

The husky voice replied deeply, ”Remembered the White Crown?”

Demon Ancestor was started when he heard this name which he hadnʼt heard for a long time. He replied, ”Are you talking about the hidden force that Humane Sage Clavus established in his heydays?”

”Heh, yes, the same one. According to our spies, it came as a surprise that the thief probably belongs to one of the experts hidden in White Crown, and he carries a secret cultivation technique that is even stronger than Clavusʼs soul cultivation technique!” The husky voice was filled with longing.

”What? No wonder that brat is so bizarre and could use space techniques. It is probably related to the technique he carries. No wonder the humans wake that Prime One fellow… itʼs all making sense now.” Demon Ancestor, as a wily old fox, quickly connected the dots.

”But it still wonʼt solve the lost key problem!” He sneered.

The husky voice replied, ”No, I think that thief will go to the human continent to save that girl. There is an eighty percent chance of it happening.

”So that you know, I was invited by Dream Shatter. He wanted to share that technique with us since we were unable to acquire Clavusʼs techniqueʼs last part when he dealt with that Empty Dream!”

”Are you asking me to go there as well?” Demon Ancestor darkly retorted, ”I canʼt just leave everything to chance since my life force is quickly depleting without the Key, so I canʼt just stroll around like you!”

The husky voice deeply replied, ”Heh, you still donʼt get it, do you? According to Dream Shatter, the White Crownʼs hidden base had been discovered, and if he could get our hands on that boyʼs love one, and I mean true lone ones, then heʼll have to come.

”But they are quite mysterious, so I need you to be there. Itʼs far better than searching for a needle in a haystack!”
