Eternal Thief
chapter-512-30041322

Ace can't believe someone was daring enough to use a formation to trap a life master in the middle of the Life Demon Auction except himself. That's why he was caught off guard like the real Ville!

Either this person was extremely foolish or extremely confident in his ability to get away unnoticed. And Ace knew it was the latter when a sudden chillness approached his neck from behind.

When he sensed the danger, he instantly used his heavenly sense. Which finally revealed the position of the attacker.

A green shield appeared in his hand, and he put it right between his neck and the sharp dagger to block the incoming strike.

'Clang…'

Piercing voice of metal clinging together rang.

Although Ace managed to block the life-threatening strike, the impact still sent him flying, but he managed to maneuver in midair and stand straight.

This time Ace directly looked at the attack, who was clad in black, as only his dark purple eyes were exposed which were now filled with disbelief. He clearly didn't expect his deadly strike to be blocked by Ville.

Ace coldly said, "You dare to take action in the middle of Life Demon Auction? Who are you!"

Ace pretended to enrage, but he was extremely vigilant because this person had an extremely strong physique. He still can't diverge his cultivation realm even with his heavenly sense, which made him even more shocked.

Because this person wasn't a manifestation realm expert, or Ace won't be standing here right now, nor did a manifestation realm need to set this trapping formation to deal with Ville.

Furthermore, this formation had completely cut off his senses as if he was in another space altogether, which made him quite warier.

"You can see me?" The demon's overlapping voice sounded with a hint of surprise.

'First, he blocked my fatal strike, and now he can even see me despite the dark dimension bead activation? He can't be just a random rune crafter with no experience of fighting. But this time I won't hold back either.' Killing intent flashed past his eyes.

But he still didn't take Ville seriously, as if everything was still under his control.

"I have no enmity with you. Why are you doing this?!" Ville bellowed in rage.

Meanwhile, Ace had secretly taken out a golden formation in the shade of his shield, which go completely unnoticed by the other party's detection.

"There's indeed no enmity between us, but you possess something you shouldn't have, and I happened to require a face of your position. So, now you die in peace!" without wasting more time, he bolted, leaving behind an afterimage.

Even Ace felt this guy's speed was on par with his own, or even faster.

One had to know he had already raised the levels of his Misperception Sky Steps Art in the last year to the limit of this cultivation realm.

=====

-Misperception Sky Steps (Art):

Camouflage Steps: Middle

Lightning Steps: Middle

Misperception Steps: Middle

Sky Steps: NONE

=====

With his cultivation realm boost, he can go toe to toe with an intermediate stage soul realm cultivator, but this guy was probably much stronger than an intermediate stage soul realm cultivator.

Without any time to waste, Ace quickly activated the Demonic Sword Killing Formation!

The moment the formation's rune lit, Ace had a massive sigh of relief when it got activated without any interference or this strange formation, which means it was likely to be at the same level as the Demonic Sword Killing Formation.

"You had a grade-5 killing formation?! Who are you?" This time, the demon's voice was filled with fear when he saw the dark place suddenly lit in golden light.

He never expected a life master to have a grade-5 killing formation at his disposal because only the association president or runic life grandmasters can come in contact with them.

He wasn't prepared for this, and the moment Ace activated the formation and his movement were staggered and before he could use his trump card to escape this restriction, the life master who was supposed to be restricted moved!

The demon's heart palpitated because this wasn't possible at all for a soul embryo realm cultivator to move or even achieve such speed, and this guy clearly wasn't a soul embryo manifestation realm cultivator.

He finally understood this was a huge miscalculation on his part because this might not be the actual Life Master but an imposter!

When this realization struck him, he instantly wanted to take out something from his storage ring to escape.

But to his horror, his storage ring didn't repose, and when he glanced at it, he almost fainted because it wasn't on his finger!

"Looking for something?"

His heart lunged when the icy voice sounded from behind, and the next moment, an extremely powerful palm filled with lightning struck his head!

His brain was jolted by lightning before he felt a strange glumness and lost consciousness.

Ace didn't delay for long and put this guy into prison in his thief's space.

After his body vanished, the surrounding darkness also vanished, and he can finally sense his surroundings again.

'Thud…'

The sound of something falling on the floor drew Ace's attention, and when he looked, he saw a small black bead filled with gray symbols.

'So, this is the medium of that strange formation.' Ace was intrigued as he picked the bead and carefully examined it.

But it didn't look like a formation to him, it was more like a…

'A limit talisman!'

Ace was even more astonished when he saw a familiar symbol on this bead which looks exactly like the limit talisman he won on the second day.

'Just who is this guy?' Ace was now even more alarmed by this attacker's mysterious background.

Without wasting any time, he used a soul probe on the assassin, and shockingly, he felt some kind of barrier preventing his soul probe from entering the knowledge sea.

Suddenly, Ace felt this barrier wasn't internal but external. It was right on this demon's head.

With narrowed eyes, Ace removed the cap and then the dark veil from his face.

'It's the veil?' Ace could feel the strong fluctuations from his dark veil. It could even block his senses.

However, when he saw the face of this demon, his eyes contracted because it was a just purple demon which was one of the bottle feeders tribes of the demon race.

Furthermore, he still couldn't sense his cultivation, which means this face wasn't real, and he suddenly remembered this demon said he wanted Ville's face.

He knew it was probably a disguise mask and, without any hesitation; he tried to remove the mask.

With some force, he managed to remove the disguise, but it wasn't a mask, but faceless skin!

Right at this moment, Ace could finally sense the hidden cultivation of this demon when this skin was removed.

'So, he's a Platinum Soul Embryo Realm of 7th advance stage. No wonder he was so powerful, and his body was probably the result of a body refinement technique. This skin mask is on par with my own or even more power; if it can block my soul probe!'

Ace's eyes shone with ecstasy as he looked at the skin mask and the demon's actual appearance.

It was a handsome demon with emerald skin and black antelope horns.

Without wasting more time, Ace again used the soul probe, and this time, it worked!

Fragments of memories flooded into Ace's head, and when he started processing them, he was astonished at first, before he was utterly shocked at the end after he gained every memory of this demon.

He discarded nothing this time because the identity of this demon was dreadful!

But soon, the shock in Ace's eyes turned into ecstasy, and he nearly laughed out loud with sheer happiness!

'Hahaha… so, that's why this guy was a silver fate point. He simply solved everything by delivering himself to me, and now I don't need to wait at all!' He hadn't experienced this excitement after getting someone's memories in a while now.

Right at this moment, the demon in the cage suddenly groan, he was awake!

When he noticed the dark place and then sense the cape and mask on his face were removed, he was horrified and bellowed, "Lowly thrall you dare to rob me of my treasures? Do you know who I am?! If you released me and returned my belongings, I'll not persuade this matter or your entire association will suffer because of your ignorance!"

Now that he had failed to achieve this motive and got captured instead, he had no choice but to reveal his identity to scare the other party into submission.

He was extremely confident that the other party would not dare to harm him, and release him once he revealed his origin.

However, when he heard Ace's icy words, he was gobsmacked with terror and even forgot to breathe.

"Paul Poison Wood, the First Son of Poison Wood Grand Demon Duke of Poison Wood Demon Duchy of Royal Demon Nation. Am I right or Am I right!"
