Eternal Thief
chapter-969

Ace covered the entire hall with his dismantle Qi, and the next moment, the spirit fire's connection with the formation was also cut off, and its aura ignited as it begins to burn violently.

However, Cyrus was waiting for this exact moment, and after receiving Ace's signal, he opened his beak and spit his own blue spirit fire toward the silver flames. The silver flames instantly churned as Cyrus's flame closed in and tried to run. It was clearly afraid of Cyrus's nether fire!

But it was already too late, and there was no way for it to run as the blue flame instantly enveloped it before it dragged back into the little guy's tiny stomach. The temperature also plummeted when the spirit fire vanished.

"Tasty…" Cyrus cried blissfully.

Ignoring Cyrus, Eva focused completely on Ace and the pitch-black Qi covering the hall. She was quite surprised as she didn't sense any danger from that Qi, but for some reason, she found it quite dangerous.

Furthermore, she was startled when the spirit fire connection to the entire formation was cut off the moment it appeared. She finally began to understand Ace's methods, and they were each more terrifying than the other.

Once Cyrus was done taking the spirit fire, Ace didn't hesitate as he combined his hands and dismantle Qi in the entire hall, being gathered into a glob in front of him like a water bubble.

But the most surprising thing was the formation had completely vanished from the hall, turning it into an ordinary room. A few moments later, something magical happened.

One after another, materials and herbs were to pop out of the globe, and each one of them was high-grade-7, and even some low-grade-8 materials were present as more and more of those materials and the pitch-black glob began to shrink until it was completely gone.

In front of Ace was now a small pile of shining objects, and without hesitation, he stored them and turned around.

Seeing Eva's gobsmacked expression, he grinned and said, "Don't be surprised. It is one of the techniques that only I can use. Aren't I great?"

Eva nodded in daze before snapping out of it, and her lips curled up, "Show off."

"I'm only showing off in front of you. Let's go to the other places." Ace shrugged his shoulders as it was the first time he used this in front of anymore.

Afterward, Eva and Cyrus follow him back, and they enter another secret room. This time, it was a small library with stone bookshelves, and there were even jade scrolls under the protection of a formation.

"Well, it seems we can learn this spiritual cooking on our own." Ace smiled in satisfaction before using the dismantle Qi and taking all the knowledge.

Then, they entered the final hidden section, and this time, it was a huge treasury divided into two sections with a formation. One section was filled with Qi herbs, fruits, and mountains of Qi stones and Soul crystals, and the other section was filled with skinned demonic beasts, and their lingering auras were extremely powerful.

This time, Ace didn't take anything on his own and looked at Eva as her eyes shimmered with ecstasy and said, "If I take them, I'll leave behind my thief symbol, which I don't want at this moment. So, I'll leave it to you. Of course, you can ask me for help."

"Hmph, no need. Just watch." Eva snickered before dark, ethereal Qi gushed out of her hands. It was filled with shadow intent, and it slowly covered the ground, turning it into complete black.

"Shadow Abyss!" Her eyes flickered with darkness as the next moment, a powerful suction force descended on the entire treasury, and all the treasures began to drown in that abyssal darkness before nothing remained. The formation was still completely fine, but no alarm rang.

Ace was surprised seeing this skill, it was probably an innate ability of Eva.

"My shadow abyss can devour any inanimate objects and store them in the shadow abyss space which exists within my shadow. It's my innate bloodline ability. Now, do you admit defeat?" Eva raised her nose proudly.

"Mistress Eva, you win." Ace quickly admits his defeat. Her abilities really started him, and they will only grow stronger with time. Her bloodline was extremely terrifying.

Eva bloomed with happiness, "As long as you know."

"Here, try learning these two skills, personally made by me for thievery. They are called the soul threads and Thief's Charity (Inverse and Reverse). All the house members have them." Ace handed her another star slip.

"You can create your own skills?" Eva was surprised as she took the star slip.

"Just imitation of my unique skills, nothing much." Ace humbly stated.

"Where mine?" Cyrus again cried at this injustice as he didn't get those shining stars again.

"Alright, you can have one as well. Learning it won't hurt." Ace chuckled as he condensed another star slip with the knowledge of two skills and gave it to a jubilant Cyrus.

Eva curiously asked, "What about these stars?" She could tell they were also made by some complex ability and finally asked.

"It's my innate ability." Ace mysteriously smiled and didn't say much about the B.E.L.L.

Eva nodded and didn't ask further before learning the skills, and she was quite surprised after she learned about the Thief's Charity (Inverse and Reverse).

"It's a space-related skill!" She was astounded.

"I don't know it's natural. But it should be." Ace nodded as he had already come in contact with absolute pick-pocket, and he knew it was space skill, so the original pick-pocket had to be the same.

Cyrus also does the same and is too pounder about something without making a fuss.

"Let's go. I'll give you a chance to practice them." Ace smiled thievishly, "Let's rob some imperials!"

Eva's eyes shone as she was very excited to try them, and they quickly left towards the outer area, but Ace sneakily left behind a note even though Eva was unaware of it. After all, he needed to cause some trouble!
