Eternal Thief

Chapter 1252: Overcoming Final Hurdle!



Looking at the final door in front of him, Ace glanced at the fate map. After confirming that there was no strange movement from the fate points, he was relieved.

However, his eyes suddenly constricted because he saw a powerful red fate behind a few meters away from this door on the other side.

Ace's expression warped because if he opened this door, that fate point would instantly notice it. With all the powerful space restrictions in this place, he couldn't use any space-related talisman or treasure since he didn't have any above the restrictions grade.

Furthermore, Lawless Darkness can only help him move unrestrained under any laws and restrictions; it can't make him pass through objects like the Twilight Traverse.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ace's mind raced as he couldn't turn around after coming so close to achieving his goal. He glared at the fate point behind this door. A few possibilities surfaced in his mind, but all of them were riddled with risks of being found out.

Although Ace can still escape even if this entire place were to go into lockdown, he needs to succeed with the mission objective first, and he doesn't have much time left since the more he delays, the more danger he's in.

'Well, I just need to fast!' Ace instantly made up his mind as he entirely focused on his spirit

sense.

Although the formations in this place were made to restrain any law sense, his law thief sense was different, and unless there was a primordial grade formation here, nothing could restrict

it.

After focusing for a while, Ace finally sensed the lifeform on the other side of the door, and he had to admit that whoever that person was, he was terrifying, probably a peak Ascension Guardian.

However, his spirit sense was invisible, so that person didn't notice it. If he had used his primordial law sense, he would have been noticed since the power difference was simply too big.

The more he was locked on that person, Ace tried using the 'Thief's Mark' on him. Although the thief's mark was limited to people with weaker souls than his, he was now a law state cultivator, an Ascension Warrior. Even he didn't know how strong his soul was at this moment.

Nonetheless, the thief's mark was completely harmless, and if it didn't work, there wouldn't be any backlash from both sides. But if it somehow worked, things would be much simpler. But if it didn't work, he had to take another dangerous route.

The moment he used the thief's mark, Ace was holding his breath as his primordial Qi stirred, and he felt almost half of it vanish the next instant. But Ace's eyes shone brightly because the thief's mark successfully branded this person!

'Half a Qi to brand an ascension guardian with a thief's mark? Worth it!' Ace was delighted, and he didn't mind this consumption at all since this meant this plan would work.

Furthermore, because this target was marked with his thief's mark, he could sense his presence far more clearly. The next moment, Ace's sense locked on another thing on the target, and Ace's hand moved at a terrifying speed, wrapping the space around his hand.

'Absolute Pickpocket!'

The Absolute Pickpocket had yet to fail him, and he didn't feel any space restriction using this ability. Even the storage rings' inner space was helpless against this ability of his and now wasn't any different because a system prompt rang in his head at this moment.

[Absolute Pickpocket (Sleight of Hand) has been successfully activated!] {Host Steals}

[Reward(s): 154,322,000 Thief Points]

[Thievery Rank(s): High-Level Thievery(s): 15/500]

[High Level Thievery 10,000,000 Thief Points]

[Thief Point(s): 298,010,800]

=====

Ace was shocked when he saw the TP rewarded with just this one absolute pickpocket. They almost matched the TP he got after stealing from 13 top first-grade sect shops, and they were also high-level thieveries!

'Worthy of someone from the Prime Heavenly Bank who is tasked with protecting this place!' Ace took a deep breath to calm his ecstasy, as this one theft was enough to give him endless joy.

But now he was even more determined to rob the bank vault. Since only the guardian had this much wealth, he didn't dare imagine what kind of wealth the vault would have!

"Hmmm?" A bewildered voice suddenly rang in Ace's ears, and he knew that the other party had sensed something.

Without hesitation, Ace quickly chose the position of the thief symbol and a thief farewell note. This time, he didn't hold back since he wanted others to know who did this and wanted to milk out every bit of fame he could!

"What!?" That voice rang again, and this time, it had a hint of shock and rage. Smirking mischievously, Ace instantly reacted and activated the next ability, 'Thieving Switch!" Again, a huge amount of Qi vanished from Ace's inner world. The next moment, Ace found his vision intently wrapped. The next moment, he was standing in the middle of a luxurious hall. He knew he had entered the hall where the entrance to the treasury vault, the fourth level, was located!

But Ace was somewhat pale as his entire Qi reserve was used at that moment, so he quickly spent a million TP without hesitation and bought the Heavenly Spirit Recovery Elixir from the

system shop!

Ace's hand held a translucent vial containing pitch-black liquid etched with countless tiny white dots, like stars in the night.

Ace was astounded by the appearance of the Heavenly Spirit Recovery Elixir, which can instantly recover his Qi in any realm of the law state. A limited amount was being sold in the

system shop.

Nonetheless, Ace didn't have time to study it as he instantly opened the lid and swallowed the starry liquid in a single gulp!

At this moment, a raging voice rang like a thunderclap in the entire bank, "WHICH VILE ANIMAL DARE TO MOVE AGAINST MY PRIME HEAVENLY BANK!?!"
