Eternal Thief



On the bright night of the full moon, donned in silver-lining black robes, the Avatar of Holy Twilight flew over a somewhat chaotic sea at high speed, leaving behind a streak of dark golden light. 

'The Twilight Traverse can not only pass through restrictions in the same realm, but it's a full-blown movement skill. It's even faster than my movement skills. I'm afraid only laws can match it.' Ace thought as he was ecstatic about his soul ability. 

He'd been flying for fifteen straight days without slowing down, and now he was entirely used to this new body and its features. The most note-worthy abilities were the Qi consumption and Qi recovery. 

The avatar's Qi was the Twilight Qi, which was incredibly potent and overbearing. But the most important thing about this unique Qi was its recovery depended on Ace's heavenly soul Qi. 

Simply put, only the main body's soul Qi reserve could replenish the avatar's Qi reserve. If the main body has worldly Qi, ten units of worldly Qi were akin to a single unit of Twilight Qi, so the time to replenish it. 

However, in the case of Ace's heavenly Qi, it was opposite and beyond. A single unit of heavenly Qi was equal to 100 units of worldly Qi and ten units of Twilight Qi. 

This means that as long as Ace's main body won't run out of Qi, his avatar won't either, and if he were hiding while focusing on recovering his own heavenly Qi, then the Twilight Qi would never run out. 

Furthermore, the avatar won't feel fatigued as long as it has Qi, making it even more terrifying. 

Although it couldn't use the system or the compass abilities of his main body, it was already strong in its own right, giving Ace even more confidence. Now, he could do almost anything while being safely hidden and do many more tricks. 

At this moment, Ace's eyes glowed in green shade as he spotted a crimson ship in the middle of chaotic waves, and his lips curled up, "I spotted her!"

On the opposite side of the sea, 

Ace's main body was flying as he smiled in satisfaction and called Noa. 

Noa's mild voice rang, "Yes?" 

"Where are you? I'm about a hundred thousand miles away from the Devil Continent. I'll reach the infamous Dark Devil Holm in a few minutes if nothing goes wrong. It's the only inhabited land between the Demon and Devil continents, right?" Ace stated confidently. 

"So quick? I'm also around the Dark Devil Holm." Noa sounded surprised, knowing it would take around fifty days to reach this place from the demon continent. 

Ace chuckled, "Good, remain there. I'll pick you up soon." 

"Alright. But be careful. I've heard the Dark Devil Holm is under the Blood Devil Clan's command, and the pirates there are deliberately installed to rob the other races. That's why it's still a safe haven for all kinds of criminals." Noa warned sternly. 

Ace merely smiled and replied, "No need to worry. I'm not going inside. Even if those guys are foolish enough to block my path, only misery awaits them…" 

Suddenly, Ace spotted when he heard an unfamiliar husky voice from Noa's side, "Oh, I didn't think I would bump into someone on this chaotic night!" 

Ace was surprised because it was clear that whoever was talking had appeared close to Noa, and it was almost impossible to approach an assassin like her without going unnoticed. 

"Who is it?" Ace questioned with narrowed eyes. 

"I don't know. A man has appeared on the deck without my assassin sense noticing. I think it's an expert," Noa grimly replied, clearly surprised.

Over a thousand miles from Ace's position, Noa was facing a bonny man in gray with a golden Horsetail Whisk in his hand, standing on her dark ship. 

This ship's primary function was low-grade-7 stealth, yet this man saw through it and could even appear on the deck without her noticing it. This is quite uncanny, and that's why Noa was on high alert. 

"Who are you?" She asked coldly as she was on high alert because even now, she couldn't lock on this man as if he was completely invisible.

The bonny man smiled as his snow-white hair danced in the cold wind. He was completely comfortable facing the dark figure of Noa. 

He said in his husky voice, "I'm a lone traveler of endless sea, wandering different places to seek pleasure. Your unique scent draws me here. I think we are fated!"

Killing intent surfaced in Noa's eyes as she suddenly vanished from her spot!

"Oh, you're a feisty one, aren't you?" The bonny man chuckled darkly. 

Suddenly, purple Qi condensed on the back of his, and the next moment, 

'chee…'

A sharp voice of metal colliding together rang. A dark blade tip shimmering in a dark hue was forcing into purple Qi, but to no avail. 

Noa's eyes shimmered in shock as she quickly vanished again. 

This time, another purple spot condensed around the man's throat, and again, the blade stopped just in the nick of time. 

Within the next few moments, Noa tried to slash on different parts, but the strange Qi would always appear, blocking the fatal strike. 

Finally, she appeared on her spot again; shock filled her eyes as her heart beat wildly. It was the first time after entering the thief house that she wasn't able to touch her opponent, much less harming him. It was almost like she was facing Ace!

"Oh? Giving up already? This doesn't seem right. I was having so much fun." The bonny man grinned, showing his nasty yellow teeth, "I'm afraid that even an early-stage Law Comprehension Realm might have difficulty dealing with you. It seemed my nose had picked up a treasure again." 

Noa remained silent as that man gave her the creeps, and the next moment, she vanished again.

"Kikikiki… running away since attacking won't work? How decisive, how fun…" The man cackled, full of excitement. 

The next moment, he suddenly waved his horsetail whisk like a brush, and purple rune symbols suddenly materialized in the air. 

Then, Noa's figure appeared right where she had stood a moment ago, full of appalled shock. She didn't even know how she had gotten back. She just felt her vision blurring, and then she was standing in front of this man again. 

Furthermore, when she tried to circulate her Qi again, she was appalled because nothing happened, and she found she even moved from her spot.

The man suddenly appeared right before her, taking a good, deep sniff that gave her goosebumps. 

His eyes shone with creepy mirth as she smilingly said, "Yes… your cent, how delightful, how unique. It's decided… you'll bear children!" 

Ace, who was hearing from the start, suddenly said coldly, "I've spotted you, don't do anything!"
