Eternal Thief

Chapter 927 World Lock Map

An hour later, Ace landed on the shore of the royal demon nation and couldn’t help but smile, feeling the nostalgic air, “It’s been years.”

He muttered as he remembered how he was forced to flee the demon continent from Demon Ancestor, and now he was back far stronger than before.

Cyrus curiously asked, “Big bro, where are we? There is no food around.” 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Ace couldn’t help but shake his head, “We are in demon continent, and stop looking for food everywhere. Your palate is not something we can find everywhere.”

Disappointed by this answer, Cyrus asked, still hopeful, “Then we are here to play?”

“It depends on the people whether they want to.” Ace snickered as he moved towards the dense forest and looked for a secluded place.

There were many demonic beasts in this forest; he even sensed a base where a few powerful demons were located, but they were not his match.

He quickly found a cave, and the demonic beast instantly fled when it sensed Cyrus’s presence. The little guy has a naturally oppressive effect on beasts, whether demonic or magic.

After that, Ace finally took out the old map and two keys, one from the demon scepter and one from the blood scepter, after he absorbed the ice orb. Furthermore, he also discovered a technique jade scroll just like the demon scepter. But that no longer interested him, and he planned to give it to Lillian.

Lastly, he takes out the Devil Scepter with the dark orb, and Cyrus’s eyes immediately lit up.

However, something magical happened the moment the four of them came together. The devil scepter hummed and shimmered in dark light before it began to dismantle on its own.

A crimson key, the dark orb, and a jade scroll appeared, and Ace stored away the latter two.

The next moment, the three keys instantly drew towards the old map and spun over it, and the old map started to shimmer in golden light.

Ace watched with scrutiny as the map grew until it reached three feet in size and turned golden.

At this moment, the system’s voice rang.

=====

[Do you want to merge the World Lock Map into the Live Fate Map?]

[Price: 10,000,000 Thief Points]

[Yes/NO]

=====

Ace raised a brow, seeing this option, and decided to go with it since it would be much simpler. The next moment, the golden map vanished from his hand, and the live fate map opened.

A golden compass point named ‘World Lock’ appeared on the map, and it pointed in the southwest towards the endless sea. His live fate map covered a five-hundred-mile radius area equal to his thief sense.

While the three keys lost their luster, which meant their job was done, and Ace stored them away.

‘It’s not in the continent, huh?’ Ace mused as he looked towards the horizon. He didn’t know how far this location was, which might be dangerous. But he wasn’t in a hurry to go there because he wanted to wait for Thief House to upgrade.

In the meanwhile, he was going to raise thief points for the divine talent as he can’t be too prepared for this. Who knows what kind of trap was lying in this world lock?

‘Freya’s Witch Avatar is also here with Thomas; should I find them? Let’s try contacting my old friend, Aliya. I hope she didn’t throw away that communication cube…’ Ace couldn’t help but smile slyly.

—

While the demon continent was about to go under a significant crisis, the All Devil Continent was relatively peaceful. The only problem of every high-ranking devil was the deadly and elusive Skyfall Thief Assassin!

This thief has emerged as a true nightmare of the devil race, and they now fear him even more than the Sky Stealer because, unlike the Sky Stealer, who only stole, the Skyfall Thief Assassin was bloodthirsty and killed its every victim without batting an eye!

Especially if that person happened to be of high ranking with high cultivation.

At this moment, in the Dark Devil Clan’s territory, which is a chain of mountains called the Dark Devil Mountain Range, on the prominent peak of the clan, a dark silhouette enters under the depth of night.

Despite an alarm and defensive formation, this person could still enter without alerting anyone.

Her pitch-black eyes were coated in dark luster under a hood as her graceful figure moved in a strange pattern under the moonless night. She was indeed Noa, known as Skyfall Thief Assassin these days!

‘According to that perv, there should be a trap door behind the mountain palace which leads to the inner area. I just hope they won’t suspect he’s dead yet, or this could be troublesome.’ She thought as she continued to move by stepping on the flaws of the formation.

She was using an eye skill that let her see the flaws in the formations below high grade 7 that she had recently stolen from a Vile Devil.

After Noa finds that she wasn’t the first one to claim the rank of Veteran Thief, she becomes dissatisfied and feels a danger from Freya because she knew only she could pull this off before her.

So, this time, she wanted to do this mission before her and please the goddess and Ace. So, she chose to target the Dark Devil Clan and started to collect the information needed to pull this off.

She already knew that the youngest son of the prominent Dark Devil Clan was a lecher who harassed and poked anything beautiful and took full advantage of it and got all the information she needed.

He was already her next target, so it became more accessible, and now she was here to do her house mission.

As she moved further in, she masterfully avoided the guards and reached the place she was looking for. Although it looked like an ordinary garden, she could see many rune symbols focused on a single place.

After she confirmed her target, her pale pink lips turned up in a cruel smile as she activated her true trump card, ‘Serene Assassin!’
