Eternal Thief

Deep within the Black Sea, the Regal Fiend Tower's fragments were scattered on the seabed, and more were sinking down.

The tower, which had never broken apart despite its broken state, was now starting to crumble piece by piece.

The tower's bottom was penetrated deep within the seabed, and it goes all the way into a spacious underground field. This entire field was filled with complex runes.

The tower covered 95% of the runic field, and it was over 2000 meters in size.

At this moment, the hundred-meter-tall black gate of the Regal Fiend Tower was creek opened after a very long time, revealing Ace and Eva holding each other hands.

Ace looked at outside, and his eyes landed on the runes engraved on the floor outside.

"This formation is hundreds of times larger than the one I used to come here. I wonder why and who made this secret realm and then abandoned it." Ace wondered out loud.

"Or that old bastard simply massacred the natives and took all their resources himself." Eva snorted coldly.

Ace completely agreed with her statement. He knew that the old ghost was completely capable of doing such a thing.

As they walked outside, he saw this space was quite wide, and the tower was pocking a huge hole through the ceiling, and there was some strange engraving on the ceiling, which was now broken.

"This place will definitely flood the moment this tower is removed. Well, it's not a big deal, but the question is do we need to send it away to get into the place where all the Qi is coming from?" He questioned while looking at Eva.

Truth be told since it was still not clear if the place beneath this tower was really where the space core lies so Ace didn't want to send it away since they would be stuck if proven wrong.

Eva said matter-of-factly, "If you want to dig, then you need to break this floor, and I don't think the teleportation formation will work once you destroy this base. Even if you let this tower stay here and break this floor, it will again render the formation useless, and the tower will remain as well. Or…"

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ She looked at the wall and smiled charmingly, "Or, we just destroy that wall and dig through there."

Ace chuckled, "I prefer keeping all the options available until the end. I might as well take my chances with the elves than get stuck here. As for digging, I'm kind of an expert at it now."

"Hehe, how resourceful." Eva giggled in amusement.

Ace gave her a side eye, "At least one of us is getting some kick out of it."

"What? You want me to dig with you?" Eva smilingly asked, but that smile was full of dangerous meaning.

"Who do you think I am?" Ace retorted rigorously.

Eva didn't reply and merely smiled back, which made Ace flinch, and he got to work.

But before that, he takes out Cyrus again, who instantly starts to complain indignantly about his previous abrupt departure against his free will.

Ace perplexedly said while looking at the angry bird on his shoulder, "Alright, I was wrong. Now, pay attention to danger."

He knew just how accurate Cyrus's senses were, and it would be a waste not to use him in this kind of situation.

If they encountered some danger deep underground, Cyrus could warn him instantly since his fate map was not working properly in this secret realm, and it was only showing colors.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Right now, this place was a gray area, but he couldn't be sure about deep underground.

"Where are we going?" Cyrus was instantly interested when he heard his command.

However, before Ace could reply, Eva had already picked up Cyrus from his shoulder. Cyrus was startled at first, and if it wasn't Eva who was picking him, he could have easily burned those hands into ashes.

Eva looked at the small guy, who was extremely soft and warm with shining eyes as she said, "Your Big Bro is about to dig, so you can remain with me, your Big Sis, or you'll get dirty."

It then looked at Ace, who had this stiff expression, but he didn't say anything. Cyrus then looked back at Eva's gentle smile and then seriously nodded, "Alright!"

"Good." Eva was satisfied and placed the little bird over her shoulder and then looked at Ace and snorted, "Why aren't you digging?"

Indigent, he could only stare at the little traitor who was now happily sitting over that soft, supple shoulder.

White swords manifested before they moved like lightning toward the wall.

Eva, who was enjoying teasing Ace, was startled when she saw those light swords and the dangerous feeling they were giving off.

She looked at Ace with shock and blurted, "You comprehend Sword Intent?"

Ace couldn't help but feel good after looking at her shocked expression. He didn't tell her about his fighting capability or skills yet. So, it was only natural she would be shocked.

He smugly said, "It's just mere Sword Intent. Do you need to react this way?"

Eva was speechless and finally knew this guy was teasing her, and she snorted, "What show off."

But inwardly, she was still quite alarmed, 'It seemed I really underestimated him. He might not even need my help at all.'

Ace didn't bicker with her and only smiled victoriously when he saw her grave expression. He knew she was too worried about him and thought of him as the same person fifteen years ago.

He just wants to put her mind at ease when it comes to his safety, he was quite capable of protecting himself, and it was not easy to kill him.

As Ace was making a tunnel with his sword intent, Eva was even more astonished seeing his control over his sword intent, and she was now really starting to feel somewhat agitated.

Because she only wanted to be his shield that he could rely on, and get was very confident after acquiring her new bloodline. But now, it seemed like she was still not qualified enough to fight on equal ground with him if he kept improving this way.

She knew without her Divine Trait and secret skills, she was no match for someone with Sword Intent with her current cultivation. So, she was now extremely serious about focusing on cultivation and increasing her strength.

Cyrus, on the other hand, was merrily chatting with Eva frivolously and told her about his little experience. Especially when Ace was breaking through. It was the deepest memory he had.

Ace didn't stop him from telling Eva since he had already told her before about his special method of breaking through.

Nevertheless, Eva was still shocked when she heard Cyrus describing the heavenly punishment, which Ace clearly omitted, and listened gloomily.

Just like that, an hour passed when Cyrus suddenly stopped talking and looked ahead and exclaimed, "There's something behind that wall!"
