Eternal Thief-Novel



The moment Ace ordered the system to take the independent realm space core and the yang orb, as well as the feather, was completely burned off, far, far, away, a terrifying existence was alerted. 

An enteral voice almost as grand as heavenly punishment and might as unfathomed endless ocean boomed lethargically, "Hmm? Hath one of the hair strands I left within the Mortal Union been obliterated?

"Did one of those ambitious fellows at last discover its location? How utterly atrocious! Did they truly believe they can overturn the heavens?! 

"Let us behold who dares to court the embrace of death. ?????" 

The voice scoffed and then suddenly started to chant strange words, and as those words were resounding in the air, the space around was starting to change colors. 

But almost instantly, "???... hikkk? Blimey?!" 

The chanting came to an abrupt halt, the entire space trembled, and the lethargic voice no longer sounded as grand or confident. 

"Verily, this doth bode ill!!!!"

On the side of the allied races, the people of the five races were now camping around the ethereal gate of the Sun Secret Realm and keeping a close eye on anyone to come out. 

It was only right for them not to leave this place alone since there was a chance that someone might come out with spirit fire. Everyone was ready to fight at a moment's notice, but at the same time, it was also very unlikely since only a few days had passed since the realm opened. 

At this moment, a faint ripple appeared within the realm gate. It was so small that no one noticed it. But after a few seconds, the entire gate suddenly churned before it started to wrap, and it instantly alerted the people who were paying attention to the gate. 

One after another, the upper echelon of the five races started to appear closer to the gate with grim expressions. 

"What is happening?" The devil questioned with a hint of trepidation. 

"Your guess is as good as mine. This never happened before…" The demon minister was replying when his voice stuck in his throat. 

Because right at this moment, the secret realm gate suddenly shattered into golden particles, and the next moment, the shrine appeared again, but the sun symbol slate was now completely crumbed!

Everyone was tongue tide and in utter disbelief at this completely unexpected scene, and they were thinking as if they were now dreaming. This was the only passage that was connected with the sun secret realm, and its destruction signifies two things.  I think you should take a look at

First, there will be no secret realm available for them to enter again, period. Second, the people inside were lost for good, and their fate was unknown!

The moment this realization dawned upon them, they all paled in horror!

While the allied races were now in complete disarray, someone, high above in the sky, was flying at a terrifying speed and heading toward the island shore. 

It was a tall figure, wearing a pitch-black attire with an imposing owl symbol on his back and hooded face. Who could it be but Ace?

Right now, Ace had a wide smile on his face, which was filled with ecstasy, and a hint of disbelief was also present in them. Not only he managed to get almost every treasure in the entire Sun Secret Realm, but he also completed his objective and all of it without taking so much risk as well!

The only hiccup on the way was either the Grim Ancestor or the Golden Feather, and both were dealt with swiftly and before they could do actual harm to him. 

Now, Ace has not only completed one of the two conditions to complete the Heaven Stealer's Mission, but he also got his hand on another elemental orb, and most importantly, he was able to appear outside the Union again, which was his main objective. 

Thinking about the yang orb in his thief's space, Ace felt giddy but also hesitant because he knew the heavenly punishment would be very terrifying this time, and he had to be absolutely prepared before he called it. 

Anyway, the main objective right now was to leave this place and make his way toward the Azure Wind Continent as fast as he could, and this time, he was planning to rely on the fate map pointer. Because despite clearing the sun secret realm, that thing was still pointing in the union's direction, and he knew it most likely couldn't bring him to Alina. 

As for how he was going to achieve it and not end up in some place like the Union or even worse than it, all he had to do was make sure he knew the endless sea routes and also had ample experience. 

The only place where he could get all that was natural among the sailors present in the Allied race. 

While the allied races were still in disarray, Ace quickly descended to a remote area and chose his target, and the first thing he did was take his memories to familiarize himself with the current situation. 

When Ace got the memories about the changes of this time in the allied race gathering, he couldn't help but sneer at the demons' bad luck, and he was also quite happy. 

'So, the humans are also participating this time, huh? Doesn't this mean all I have to do is grab one of them, and I'll know how to go back? But what if I infiltrate their ranks and go back with them instead of going alone? This will save me tremendous time, and I might even learn more about the royal lands…' Ace mused as he found this plan even more appealing and practical.

However, the problem with this plan was, these guys didn't seem to be going to start their journey back home anytime soon, at least not without fully investigating the abrupt destruction of the realm gate and the fate of their juniors. 

Then another scheme started to devise in his thievish mind!
