Eternal Thief



"She clearly has a field advantage, and it was an unfair fight from the start." Freya snickered with pursed lips. 

She wasn't the one who liked to lose or admit it unless she was thoroughly defeated, just like Ace had completely crushed her pride when she found out that he was a mythical Martial and Soul Cultivator!

Noa gave her a cold glance but didn't bother to reply to the sore loser and looked at Ace, "Will you be joining us?" 

Ace nodded without hesitation, "Of course, is there even a need to ask such a question? Since all the upper echelon is now under Freya's control and has become her puppet, leaving this guy will only cause us inconvenience. Furthermore, if we have him under our control, my plan would go even more smoothly, and we'll be on our merry way."

"What? There is something more to this?" Freya's eyes narrowed as she looked at Ace, while Noa was also surprised. 

They both think that Ace would be content after he gains control over the entire human entourage, but it seems his plan involves far more than just controlling the humans. 

"You'll know since I'm going to start right after, we deal with this guy. Although it pains me to use this precious talisman, we need to invest in order to get more benefits." Ace sighed ruefully before he took out a white talisman which appeared quite ancient and was filled with runes that were almost dissipated from the talisman. 

Freya's eyes shimmered when she saw the talisman, "A limit talisman!" 

Ace nodded as he described, "Your eyes are as sharp as ever. Indeed, this is a limit talisman, but unfortunately, it can only be used one more time. I acquired it from the eighth layer of the sun realm. 

"This is called the Prison of Soul. A powerful Grade-7 limit soul talisman. It can instantly make a Law Awareness Soul Realm Cultivator lose control over his body for full five seconds. So I'm guessing that it would affect a Quasi Law Awareness Realm Cultivator even more." 

Then he looked at Noa and solemnly said, "I'm leaving this talisman to you, Assassin, since you can easily get close to him without alerting him. I want you to use it on him and then quickly disable all the security measures placed in that camp. But you have to be quiet, extremely quick, as a matter of fact, for I will try to reach him and take him into my thief's space. 

"This is the only method we can subdue that guy without raising any red flags and alerting the other races. But all this should be done in under 10 seconds or even sooner than this.

"Because I'm not clear on how longer this talisman would last on him, so if it felt even a little bit amiss, kill him right there and then without mercy!" Ace sternly ordered.

Ace knew this was a massive risk they were undertaking, but just for the sake of making things more advantageous to himself, he was willing to take it.

Ace was already deriving the plan for Alina's rescue from the moment he appeared back in the ten continent side, and controlling Glen could give him a massive advantage or at least talk his place. 

But he still prefers the latter option since controlling Glen from shadows and playing him are two different things. Even if he didn't mind, this time around, he wanted everything to be flawless without even a shred of mistake. 

When Noa and Freya heard Ace's almost suicidal plan, they were lost for words, but that talisman was really magical, and they might be able to pull this off. 

"You are really determined to save her, huh?" Freya couldn't help but comment with a peculiar tone. 

If she hadn't met with Eva, she thought Ace was blinded by love. But now, she could tell it was far more than just that, and she really wanted to know just what that terrifying devil resided in Ace's thief space had to say about Alina. 

But she knew better than to antagonize that woman and didn't want to appear to be on her bad side. 

Furthermore, she could tell Ace hadn't told Noa about Eva at all, but she didn't reveal either since she didn't want to get on Ace's bad side either, even more than Eva's.

However, she forgot something else, Ace hadn't told Noa about Alina either, and the moment she said those words, Noa was on full-on alert. 

"Save who?" She instantly shot a question with an icy tone.

Ace coolly answered, "Ah, you are the only one out of the loop. I'll explain it to you after we are with this fellow." 

Noa squinted her eyes as he didn't find any hint of panic in Ace's voice at all but now wanted to know even more. 

On the other hand, Ace was really glad that he was always prepared for occasions after Cyrus almost screwed him over.

After this small matter was over without any headache for Ace, they all got to work. 

Noa took the Prison of Soul Limit Talisman from Ace and then used the Serene Assassin and cautiously entered the massive camp from the rear and appeared in an empty room that had a massive communication cube. 

She slowly crept toward the inner area of the camp, which was more like a massive house. She felt a powerful undulation in the center area, and she knew she had found her target. 

But unlike the others, this guy was wide awake, and he seemed to be moving forth and back in a room, and his aura was slightly turbulent. Yet this is more like an advantage than a hindrance since it indicates that the other party's mental state was not stable!

She carefully crept toward Glen and didn't dare to be careless even more a second. When she appeared in front of a dimly lit chamber, she saw the silhouette of the man walking back and forward. 

Without hesitation, she moved toward the final layer between her Glen!
