Eternal Thief

Chapter 659 Sailing Close To The Wind

The sky was clear, lit with countless bright stars, while the full moon was exceptionally bright today.

Under the beautiful moonlight, chaotic waves of water were raging, and there was nothing but rageful sounds of lonely waves, creating a strange melancholic melody.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon takes place when a phantom dark image suddenly manifests and starts to overlap with the chaotic waves.

The clear blue water suddenly overlapped with murky black water as this phantom dark image was filled with dark water.

All of a sudden, the entire space around the waves distorted before the phantom image started to materialize, and the water level suddenly rose, creating tilde waves, and the water was also turning black.

This strange phenomenon in space lasted for over ten hours as the night was already at its end, and the dark sky was now starting to turn golden.

The chaotic waves also started to calm down while the black water covered a very large area. If someone looked from high in the sky at this area, it would appear like a black stain in the clear blue sea.

Three more hours passed as the sun was already on the horizon. At this moment, the calm murky black water surface suddenly experienced ripples.

Thereby, a hooded head surfaced, and his dark blue eyes under the hood were filled with vigilance while he looked around.

But when he saw endless water as far as he could see, he was bewildered and mumbled in dismay, ”Donʼt tell me, this realm merged somewhere in the endless sea?”

This person was naturally Ace, who had appeared on the surface after swimming his way through the flooded hole left behind by the Regal Fiend Tower. If not for that hole, he might have to dig his way out again.

Still, it took him a few hours to reach the surface, and he almost thought that he was still in the dark realm. But when he noticed the surface getting brighter, he knew he had returned to the world outside since that place was exempt from any sunlight.

However, after seeing his surrounding, he wasnʼt so optimistic anymore.

Because if he really ended up in the endless sea, then it was even more troublesome since he had no idea how to navigate his way from this unknown location.

At this moment systemʼs voice rang before a panel pooped up.

”About time.” Ace scoffed before he closed the interface while keeping those ten million EXP and SP for a rainy day.

He no longer needed to waste those precious herbs to increase EXP or SP count anymore, not until he reached the eighth realm. As long as he had sufficient Qi stones and Soul crystals, heʼll use them.

After closing the notification panel, he took out the small blue sailboat with the symbol of the Imperial Demon Family on the black sail!

It was the same sailboat he used in the Black Sea in the secret realm.

After jumping out of the water, he finally sighed in relief since he had finally escaped the secret realm and was back.

But he knew it was far from over since he had to find his way out toward the Azure Wind Continent from this unknown place.

Since he had no map, he could only rely on the second-best option, which was the live fate mapʼs direction.

Furthermore, his fortune sense was also compelling him to head in the southeast direction, but it was too vague.

When he opened the fate map, he found nothing but gray with no terrain at all, so he could only look at the compass pointer, which was also pointed in the same direction as his fortune sense.

Ace frowned because he didnʼt want to follow in this direction, blinding this time because if he was in the endless sea, then who knows how far this direction was and where it would lead him.

If it was a treasure like Regal Fiend Tower, then he was not in the mood for treasure hunting at all, and he was 90% sure that it was another treasure because his fortune sense was also pointing in the same direction.

But heading in another direction could also lead him into an unknown location, and who knows if he will find any land or not and keep wandering aimlessly.

The endless sea was named ʼEndlessʼ for a reason, and without any proper sea channel, one could simply travel round and round without even knowing.

Furthermore, the endless sea was filled with unknown dangers like sea demonic beasts that even Soul Manifestation Realm Experts dread.

So, he canʼt be careless.

When he reached this conclusion, he gritted his teeth in exasperation because he knew he had no other choice at all.

”Some direction is better than no direction, I guess. Once I reach land, Iʼll instantly soul-probe some native to know where I am and then head in the right direction. I canʼt be too far from the elven continent.” Ace mumbled grimly before he activated the boat and headed in the compass direction at maximum speed.

Since he was free now, he looked in the thiefʼs space to check on Eva and was instantly baffled because he saw Eva had this annoyed expression as she was looking at this Elven beauty who had the same level of beauty as Freya and slightly inferior to Eva, she was naturally Livia the elven crown princess!

Livia was wearing tunic green robes; she was 5ʼ11 feet tall with a perfect hourglass figure. Her glistering bright silver hair made her look extremely holy, while her heart shape snow-white face, small nose, and pink lips perfectly matched her enthralling charm.

She has silver watery eyes like jewels, but the way she was looking was completely out of place with her current situation.

First, she didnʼt seem angry, panicked, or even nervous. On the contrary, she had this strange smile that spelled nothing but happiness.

Second, she was tightly holding her right hand, and if looked closely, she kept rubbing an owl symbol very gently, which was quite creepy in Aceʼs eyes.

Third, she was looking at Eva with admiration and longing, which was even more questionable. No matter from which angle Ace looked, Livia didnʼt seem furious at all by her abduction. Instead, she was ecstatic.

Finally, seeing Evaʼs pissed expression, Ace knew something was amiss!
