Eternal Thief
chapter-1033

Ace felt like he was in the middle of an icy ocean, where neither he could breathe nor move as those countless glowing crimson eyes were locked on him. It was the first time in his life that he felt fully exposed without any way to hide or flee.

The next moment, those eyes suddenly began to glow, illumining the dark abyss, and in the middle, something began to condense.

Ace felt death enveloping him at this moment, and someone was locked his very; it was the same feeling that he felt when Conner used the Orbit Lock mystic ability on him, but it was far more terrifying!

Without hesitation, Ace directly activated his two-thief symbol summoning abilities; this wasn't the end; nine dark coins appeared and arranged into an array before creating a runic barrier filled with countless dark runes; it was the second most powerful heavenly array. Heavenly Earth Protection!

However, Ace still felt the sensation of death, 'Just what kind of messed up thing is this?! Even the devil's horn invisibility can't hide my trace! I'm still fully locked!'

Ace's heart was heavy as a mountain, and the last time he felt this kind of feeling was back in the land of kingdoms when Gordon almost killed him.

'Lawless Darkness!'

Ace was saving this until he found this guy's true body, but now he had no choice but to use it since he couldn't afford to waste the life coin and get teleported out of this place. Not until he had no other choice!

The moment the lawless darkness appeared, the crimson light locked on him suddenly engulfed by inky darkness, and at this moment, Ace finally felt that power locked on him vanish, and he could freely move!

"Y-You have primordial Qi, and you can even use it, and this strange law… what is this!???!" The voice rang again, but this time, it had lost all its previous confidence and mischievousness; a trace of dread was present in its voice.

Ace's heart sank as the secret of his heavenly Qi was also seen through by this being, and he could tell this was not good!

Before, Ace's heavenly Qi was vague and couldn't be detected easily, but the moment he used the lawless darkness, the heavenly Qi became extremely potent, and if someone were familiar with it, they could easily be able to see through it.

Furthermore, this being was not engulfed by the lawless darkness, so it easily saw through the nature of Ace's Qi.

'It seems I have no choice but to use the Great Escape Limit Heavenly Talisman here! This is not something I can overcome with my current ability!' Ace's eyes flashed with decisiveness.

Although the other party had seen through his tricks and his Qi, he had also sensed the lawless darkness's uniqueness. Ace didn't dare to linger here and try his luck any longer since he knew just what kind of calamity awaited him if his lawless darkness's origin was revealed in front of this terrifying being.

This was the same as the system being exposed, which was unacceptable!

So, while the other party was still in shock and he was finally freed, he knew he only had one chance to escape, or if that guy became serious, he might really have to use the life coin, or worse, if he got captured, it was all over!

"Just who are you?! I'll know once I capture you!" The voice rang again with a hint of greed in its voice.

However, at this moment, a black pentagon coin appeared in his hand; it was the grade-9 limit heavenly talisman Great Escape that the system rewarded him, and it could only be used three times.

Ace instantly activated it with a clear place in his mind, and the next moment, the crimson beam suddenly shot toward him, covering the entire abyss. But before it could hit him, with the help of lawless darkness, no law could retrain him, so the heavenly talisman instantly flashed, and Ace vanished without a trace!

The Great Escape talisman can send Ace anywhere he has been before, no matter the distance. That's why these three chances to use it were extremely important.

The next moment, Ace appeared in a dark cave, right in front of a wall filled with writing. This cave was at the 500,000-meter mark for rewarding the Vampyre Centurion!

Ace quickly looked behind and saw crimson light coming inside, and despite being far away from it, he felt his soul-shaking and his body trembling from the ghastly pressure. Even the heavenly punishment couldn't compare with it.

"Eva, I'm about to take you out, and the moment you appear, directly pour your Qi into a wall right in front of you. Don't waste a single second, or we might not be able to escape!" Ace gravely sent a voice transmission to Eva, who was now fully recovering.

The reason Ace chose to come here was because he didn't want to escape empty-handed, and since he couldn't go past that ghastly thing, he decided to take the Vampyre Centurion Trial reward.

Since that thing was guarding this place, then this could only mean that it belonged to the Vampyre Race and was part of this trial. So, as long as someone used this place to escape, it couldn't stop them.

So, Ace directly came here and even wanted to make Eva benefit from this. This way, they would take two times the rewards instead of one.

Eva was first startled as she could feel Ace's dread from his hurried tone; the next moment, she appeared within pitch black darkness, and she suddenly felt a mountain crushed on her very being; her life was no longer in hand.

"T-t-this…" Flaggy was also flabbergasted, and a hint of fear was present in its usual arrogant voice.

They were within Ace's lawless darkness because he didn't dare to stop using it since he was worried that the thing in the abyss might lock on him again, so he had no choice but to summon Eva within as well, just in case she got targeted instead.

The thing in the abyss still didn't seem to have realized that Ace had escaped its attack.

"Don't worry, just pour your Qi in front of you, and everything will be fine." Ace's voice, which was somewhat eerie and overlapping, rang.

Eva snapped out of her dreaded state and quickly did as she was told. She thought this was the great danger he was talking about.

Ace controlled the lawless darkness and opened up a small gap within the heavenly array, allowing Eva's Qi to touch the wall, and the next moment, she vanished!

Ace also didn't delay and poured his Qi into the wall, and the next moment, he vanished as well, leaving the empty cave and lingering darkness behind.

This all happened within a few seconds, and at this moment, the blinding crimson light finally vanished.

The ancient voice rang again, filled with disbelief, "Where did his body go!?"
