Eternal Thief

Chapter 801 The Heavenly Arrays (1)

Within the main ship of humans, Glen was looking at the dormant communication cube with empty eyes, and behind him were Freya, Noa, and Ace!

”It seemed we just started a wildfire.” Freya couldnʼt help but chuckle darkly. 

Ace snickered coldly, ”Now, whoever was listening will be dealt with by the Azure Patriarch. But we didnʼt want that, did we? Spread this news in the demon continent using the imperial demon councilʼs connections. We will create such a mess that they donʼt have time to pay attention to Alina, and Winter will be able to move freely!” 

”You are also human, you know. They might get annihilated by the all front.” Freya stated superficially, as she already knew Ace didnʼt care about the race that was currently hunting him down. 

”I am human, and Iʼm proud of it. But what it has to do with others?” Ace dismissively replied, as he knew Freya too well, ”Just get it done, and if the Azure Patriarch contact again, proceed with the same story. Remember, this story will only work if no one believes Dream Shatter. The more information you feed them, the harder it is for Dream Shatter to explain it all. That sly old bastard will regret ever scheming against me!” 

At this moment, Noa suddenly spoke in a soft tone, ”What about your family?”

From start to finish, Ace had never said anything about White Crown. It was like they didnʼt exist at all. Thatʼs what made Noa somewhat worried. Even Freya noticed this thing. 

Ace glanced at Noa before he turned around and walked away. His cold voice rang before he was out of the room, ”Iʼll be in seclusion, consolidating my gains. Reach me if something happened or if you guys need anything!” 

Noa narrowed her eyes, ”Heʼs avoiding the topic!” 

Freya sighed as she replied, ”His background is far more complex than we can imagine. Itʼs not our place to interfere. Donʼt worry; as long as heʼs capable of care, he wonʼt turn into a monster.” 

Noa suddenly looked at Freya and gave her a piercing look, ”When did you two get close? You still didnʼt tell me about that woman that you called your avatar?” 

Freya snickered playfully, ”We have our moments, and I donʼt recall asking you about how in the world you are so damn strong, did I? We all have our little secrets! Letʼs enjoy our voyage while we can. I have a feeling that we will not get any rest once our Leader starts moving!”

Ace walked on the deck of the ship and felt the cold winds of the sea on his face. A complicated glint flashed past his eyes, ʼMy family, huh? Are they qualified to be my family?ʼ Coldness crept in them as he threw those useless feelings at the back of his head. 

He knew he couldnʼt waste time anymore, and he needed to act as fast as he could if Winter failed to rescue Alina before returning to the union and entering the Moon Secret Realm. 

It was a massive risk he was taking, and he knew this detour would cast him three to four years which meant he would have less than a year to complete the last part of the heavenʼs stealer mission. It was in this case that Winter managed to rescue Alina, and he found the Union with a little bit of time left.

Still, he knew his selfishness would put all the house members and even Evaʼs life in jeopardy, yet he was still taking this risk. He just refused to give up on Alina, and he knew if he didnʼt save her, heʼll never be the same. 

ʼWhat if I could increase this shipʼs speed?ʼ Ace thought, looking at the grade-6 ship, and his eyes shimmered with hope. 

Ace had the entire treasury of a secret realm, he was nothing but rich, and if he used all that knowledge wisely, he might be able to turn around the entire situation for good. 

Then he suddenly remembered something and quickly opened the system shop!

Looking at the unclaimed rewards, his eyes looked on the Fundamentals of Array Crafting. He was already a Heavenly Rune Crafter of tier-12, but he didnʼt have the method to study the heavenly rune further. But when he got the method, he didnʼt have the time to tangle with rune crafting. 

However, now, he had time and objective to learn the heavenly runes even further, and he knew if he discovered something, he might be able to turn his whole situation around as the heavenly rune crafting was far more profound and potent than normal rune crafting. 

Besides, with the Heavenly Rune Crafter Panel, he can create a talisman with the systemʼs help, and it might be the same case for the heavenly arrays as well. 

Lastly, it was also time to learn the Soul Stealth Art as the Heartless Stealth Art was no longer enough, and the mysterious Absolute Pick Pocket which was the most expensive of them all and supposed to be the final reward of his chain mission!

Before, he didnʼt have thief points to spare, but now, he had much more to spare!

So, without hesitation, he first bought the fundamentals of array crafting, and massive information flooded his mind. However, what happened next was out of Aceʼs expectations.

Systemʼs voice started to buzz as a panel appeared in front of him.
