Eternal Thief

847 A Dangerous Game (3)



Within a powerful blizzard, there was a silhouette of a massive structure, and not far from this blizzard were numerous snow-colored eagles flying as if they were patrolling their territory. 

But the strange thing was there weren't just eagles, but wolves, bears, and even some crawling insects were there, creating an army of powerful beasts, and they weren't attacking each other like they normally do. 

At this moment, the flying eagles suddenly started causing a commotion, alerting every beast in the vicinity as they all looked maliciously in the same direction. 

"Tsk, tsk, here I was, wondering why I was being attacked by a few of your toys. So, you have already prepared a grand welcome for me." A jeering yet perplexed voice rang at this moment as a tall hooded figure surfaced from the ice storm. There was also a small chick resting over his shoulder. 

"O' sacrilegious mortal! There is still time for you to repent and seek the mercy of the Sun and Moon!" 

Ace smiled disdainfully, "First, you wanted to kill me since that didn't work out well. Now you want to convert me? Have some backbone, at least. How about this? If you stop getting in my way and just hand over everything, I'll plead to my little brother here and let you be his toy. What do you think?" 

"YOU vile tongue scourge!" The God Envoy's voice was filled with boundless fury. 

"Heh, thanks. Now, if you don't mind, I'll be passing through." Ace sneered before he directly activated a space-step talisman! 

"Hateful! Just how many of these talismans he had…aagghhghhhh!!!" The God Envoy's voice was filled with appalling indignation.

At this moment, Ace reappeared on a crystal floor, and in front of him was a magnificent purple ice cathedral that was surrounded by a blizzard but wasn't affected by it in any way. 

"Yay! New food, we are coming!" Cyrus chirped in happiness as he looked at the cathedral with hungry eyes like it was a restaurant. 

Ace smiled wryly, "Little brat, you still not full even after eating four holy gifts already? Don't you feel cold? How can you eat such a pure ice element despite being a fire element connoisseur? How about you leave your big bro some?" 

It's been 15 days since Ace started his venture. He had cleared four layers and naturally got all the treasures after Cyrus destroyed and ate the holy gifts. But contrary to the Sun Secret Realm, the holy gifts in the Moon secret realm were of extreme ice or yin element. 

Ace first thought Cyrus wouldn't like them, but it was thoroughly wrong, for the little guy was reacting the same as he did in the sun secret realm, and the moment he saw a holy gift, he would consume them whole while destroying the trial in process. 

Although he wanted to have at least one of those holy gifts for himself, but he wasn't shameless enough to snatch food from a child's mouth. Furthermore, without Cyrus, he won't be able to progress unrivaled with that pest of God Envoy obstructing his way. 

Ace also confirmed one thing in these past 15 days. It was the God Envoy who couldn't stop him or interfere with the special trial that automatically activated after his special token was detected. 

This gave Ace ample confidence to conquer this place, and the mission seemed to be going very smoothly with Cyrus by his side. Furthermore, his space step talisman helped him avoid any situation he just experienced outside the fifth layer's guardian zone. 

He had made around 1500 space step talismans after he got a huge amount of space crystals from the Sun Secret Realm, so he won't hesitate to use them. Furthermore, all his losses would be recovered once he gets his hands on the wealth of Moon Secret Realm! 

"What cold? It's quite refreshing taste." Cyrus retorted while vigilantly looking at Ace, "You promised that as long as I won't take any treasure and the spirit fire you promised me before, I can have all the food I want to eat! So, no deal, no deal!" 

Ace's eye spasmed slightly, "I didn't go back on my promise. I agreed to give you that spirit fire on the condition that you spear that feather. But it wasn't turned out like that, was it? So, stop holding a grudge!" 

"NO! A promise is a promise!" Cyrus protested. 

"Alright, you win. Eat all you want." Ace replied in exasperation as he moved towards the purple swirling gate of the cathedral. 

The next moment, he appeared in a familiar silver space before a static voice rang. 

"Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker Token detected! 

"Welcome Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker in the Middle Layer, Fifth Level Trial!

"Pass the Unique Trial solely made for the Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker to earn an entry in the Middle Layer, Sixth Level!

"Unique Trial: The Yin Moon of Summer will now commence!"

"Food, here I come!" Cyrus excitedly chirped before he jumped off Ace's shoulder and opened his beak, spiting a blue flame that instantly made the atmosphere churn the moment it appeared. 

Even the icy cold environment turned blazing hot, but there was also a strange ghostly aura to it that Ace still couldn't grasp. 

Just as Cyrus's new flame appeared, and the trial hadn't even before, the blue flame suddenly took the form of an ethereal bird spreading its flaming wings majestically. 

The silver space instantly blasted apart like a glass, revealing a glowing gray pearl about the size of Cyrus himself, and freezing ice energy were gushing out of it like flames. 

The majestic flame bird moved at this moment and thereafter, completely wrapped around the gray pearl. Once the pearl was fully submerged in blue flames, a powerful suction force appeared, and the blue flame instantly retracted back into Cyrus's small beak, including the gray pearl!

'No matter how many times I see it, that damn flame is too powerful!' Ace click his tongue with a tingle of jealousy, seeing Cyrus effortlessly taking the holy gift like usual. 

At this moment, the static voice rang again. 

"The First Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker, White, has taken the Moon God's Holy Gift! 

"The Unique Trial for Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker of the fifth layer will no longer exist! 

"According to the dogma of the Moon God, if a Sun and Moon Inheritor has the ability to take the Holy Gift, all the rewards placed for the Unique Trial shall be handed down to that inheritor! 

"Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker White will also be rewarded with 500 extra days in the Moon Secret Realm!" 

The next moment a purple storage ring levitates toward Ace, and the purple swirl that lead toward the sixth layer materializes!
