Eternal Thief

Chapter 739 Help Me See…

Ace enviously closed Noaʼs status, the Assassin Call ability was really something heaven-defying, and it was clearly a space-type ability. That ability was made for assassinating a target within an instant when it was still in a stupor about being teleported out of nowhere. 

Nevertheless, Ace was happy for Noa to get such an ability, and she would be a force of nature with it. Even that powerful turtle seemed to be helpless against her. 

Furthermore, Ace knew if he wanted to take down the Grim Winged Serpent, this was a perfect opportunity, or that guy might really be scared away this time by the flame turtleʼs uncanny demise. 

The sword under his feet instantly maneuvered in the air, and Ace started to fly in the opposite direction where the Grim Winged Serpent was still dazedly looking at the flame turtleʼs crash site, covered in smoke. 

However, it quickly regained its senses when suddenly the Unknown Thief started to fly toward him like a cannonball. They were only fifty meters away from each other, and the distance was quickly decreasing. 

ʼIs this some kind of ambush?!ʼ The Grim Winged Serpentʼs mind raced as it already thought of the worst possible scenario and was about to use another trump card to flee the scene post hastily. 

However, he was stopped when he heard the desperate cry from the thief, ”L-lord Serpent, please have mercy! You can have your treasure back, but please donʼt do the same thing to me, you do to that turtle, Oʼ mighty serpent!” 

The Grim Winged Serpent was gobsmacked when it heard this mysterious thief speaking in the magic beast language. But it was even more astonished by his words. 

ʼHe thinks Iʼm the one behind what happened to that turtle, so now heʼs afraid I might do something like that to him? So, it wasnʼt him behind that sudden incident?ʼ The Grim Winged Serpent quickly assumed. 

The Grim Winged Serpent thought it made sense since how could a running thief have such an ability, or why in the world was he running in the first place if he was capable of such a feat?

But it still was quite vigilant as it might be some sort of trick to keep him here. 

However, when it saw the Antique Black Lamp appearing, which was now lit in ruby light, appear in the cloaked thiefʼs hands, it finally hesitated as greed flashed past its snake eyes.

ʼWhat if itʼs true this guy has nothing to do with this attack at all? Iʼll just another treasure deal with him quickly and then take the lamp and leave immediately!ʼ The Grim Winged Serpent finally decided to take the risk and was ready to attack. 

When Ace saw the Grim Winged Serpent wasnʼt seemed to be interested in running away anymore, his lips under his mask rose in a devious smile. This was exactly the result he wanted to achieve by playing a frightening sheep. 

Right at this moment, when he was only ten meters away from the Grim Winged Serpent, and he could clearly feel the viciousness in the vicious beastʼs eyes, and he knew it was going to try to finish all this within a single move, but so was he!

”Alright, little brat, it is your turn. Just do as I said, and donʼt try to show yourself. If you messed it up, Iʼd have your Big Sis punish you until you cry for mercy!” Ace transmitted his threatening voice into a troublemakerʼs mind. 

The next moment, under his cloak, a tiny, cute black chick appeared over his shoulder. Who could it be but Cyrus?

”Hmph, hmph, Big Bro just wants to bully me!” Cyrus ranted in his cute childish voice. 

But he didnʼt waste even a second as Ace had already told him about what he needed to do if Ace summoned him. 

Cyrus was actually Aceʼs plan B if plan A with Noa failed. 

As the owner of a superior bloodline that far surpasses anything in the Mortal Sky Heaven, and the ability to suppress those with inferior bloodline, Cyrus was one of its kind. 

But Ace didnʼt want to show Cyrus in front of anyone until necessary. However, now that he had let Noa out and nothing happened, he was sure Cyrus would be fine as well. 

Now he was almost sure that the Union had no control over this secret realm, so he didnʼt need to be overly cautious. 

The moment Cyrus appeared, an invincible aura suddenly spread like wind, and the Grim Winged Serpent, who was preparing to kill Ace, suddenly trembled like a dry leaf in the wind. 

The colors on its face started to change like crazy and turned paler than a ghost, and all that majestic aura plummeted and shattered like fine glass, and it now appeared like a worm. 

Ace knew it was his chance as the Grim Winged Serpent was finally intimated and affected by Cyrusʼs aura, and he leaped from his sword as lighting flashed under his feet. 

The Grim Winged Serpent was almost losing its mind, and right at this moment, it let loose a shriek in horror, ”Hissss, you fool, you want us to get killed?!”

But this also seemed to have helped him regain its sense, and without hesitation, he tried to take out a powerful escaping treasure. 

However, he finally noticed something landed over his massive head, and that strange, terrifying aura was now weighing down upon its entire body, and he felt like he would be crushed at any moment. 

Standing on top of the Grim Winged Serpentʼs head, Ace wasted no time and took out another ʼlightning talismanʼ and smashed it over the Grim Winged Serpentʼs giant snake head. 

A dark lightning bolt suddenly struck the Grim Winged Serpentʼs head, and for a moment, he lost all his feelings and vision. 

Although it was only momentarily, when its vision returned, the entire crimson surrounding had been changed as it now found itself in a dark place lit with light stones. 

”Where am I?” It muttered hoarsely in uncertainly. 

Then it finally noticed that all his Qi seemed to be completely suppressed. Then its eyes darted toward the beautiful house a few meters away from its position, and a very small chick was jumping around the door and clamoring in its ecstatic voice. 

”Big Sis! Come out! Look, look, Cyrus caught a big pretty snake! Help me see if it is sufficient to be my Maid!” Cyrus chirped in excitement and anticipation as he completely ignored the dumbfounded Grim Winged Serpent and kept jumping around the closed house door. 

”Ah? It seemed we have a guest.” A devilish voice sounded from the house as footsteps rang, and they were coming closer to the door. 

The Grim Winged Serpent was completely appalled by this strange turn of events… if it only had known, it was just the start of a very, very long nightmare!
