Eternal Thief-Novel



"Thank you, Senior; I couldn't be more honored! May I know who you are?" Ace acted as respectfully as possible. 

However, Cyrus suddenly transmitted something unexpected with massive anticipation, "Big Bro, can I eat that shining golden feather, please, please?!" 

Ace was startled, "What shining golden feather?" 

Ace couldn't help but glance at the golden statue with a hint of trepidation as he suddenly thought of something. 

"The talking feather, of course! Right in front of you!" Cyrus stated with a hint of a hurry as he couldn't wait to swallow this feather. 

'I knew it!' Ace couldn't help but cuss when he thought about how the little guy could see through things while he could not because of Cyrus's superior bloodline. It was really depressing!

At this moment, the golden statue spoke in its imposing voice again, "I am nothing but a servant of Sun God chosen to have remained here until the Chosen One emerges! 

"Now, after watching your performance, I presumed it won't long before my duty here be over, and I will be finally able to return to the embrace of the Sun and Moon God without any shame!

"Sun and Moon Seeker White, take out your identity token and receive the status of Sun Chaser, and I hope you will soon receive the Moon Chaser status from the Moon Secret Realm as well!" 

Ace was still mulling over what just Cyrus told him, and his glutinous voice was still ringing in his head as if he couldn't wait to rush over, and he was far more persistent than he had ever been. 

However, Ace still wasn't comfortable giving him permission since he wasn't sure if the other party would retaliate or not. This also hasn't seemed like the other trials with Holy Gifts. 

But when Ace thought about how each trial had a holy gift that had been eaten by Cyrus and the voice had no objection, he thought about this feather that appeared as a statue in front of him. 

Then he looked at the fate map and saw his current position, his eyes contracted ever so slightly, and he looked at the giant statue and said, "Senior, what about my rewards?" 

The voice replied in the same tone, "Your reward will be given to you after the ceremony of Sun Chaser is completed!" 

'Don't tell me this is some sort of trial as well? A final test to check the wits of the Sun and Moon Seeker?' Ace's mind raced as the more he thought about it, the more he found this might be true. 

Because at the start of the trial, he was told that there were no do-overs in this trial and that with a single mishap, he'll lose his life. 

Furthermore, Cyrus has never been wrong about a holy gift or had difficulty in devouring them. Instead, his spirit fire seems to have grown even stronger, and he was also going through some sort of change. 

That's why Ace was more inclined to believe in Cyrus's capabilities than a talking feather's integrity. 

With a cold look in his eyes, he transmitted his voice, "Alright, you can eat it!"  I think you should take a look at

Almost instantly, Cyrus reacts with an ecstatic chirp and directly shoots toward the golden statue like a small arrowhead. 

"What are you doing?!" The solemn voice questioned with uncertainty. 

Ace didn't reply as he was paying close attention to Cyrus and the statue. 

Cyrus opened his beak and spat blue flames at the middle of the golden statues. 

"YOU!" The voice suddenly rang in panic as all the solemnity had vanished in smoke this time, and before it could say anything else, the blue flame directly pierced into the golden statue. 

"Stop, you fool! This is blasphemy to the Sun and Moon God!" The voice shrilled in horror. 

Under Ace's astonishing eyes, the golden figure suddenly vanished like a mirage, and a meter-long shining golden feather appeared, which was covered in golden flames, and right now, those golden flames were trying to contain the raging blue flames, stopping them from touching the golden feather!

"Blasphemous wretched creature, stops before it's too late! I'm the sacred servant of the Sun God. If I was harmed, you will no longer have the qualification to bask in the mercy of the Sun and Moon God!" An ear-piercing shrill rang from the feather. 

Even though it still sounds imposing, it can't hide the fear in it as the golden flames seem to be slowly losing against the blue flames. 

"Taking food, stop resisting!" Cyrus chirped in annoyance as a very potent aura suddenly released from the little bird, and the dark blue crown-like hair on his forehead suddenly started to shine. 

Ace was even more alarmed as he never saw Cyrus struggling with a holy gift this much, and now he seemed to be using his true power. 

Furthermore, with how the feather was shrilling, he knew Cyrus posed a real danger to it, so why would he stop him? 

Not to mention, now he was sure it was a trial, and he needed to get rid of this feather to pass it. 

After the golden and blue fire struggled with each other for a while, Cyrus's nether fire was finally able to overpower the golden fire and was about to touch the feather's gold-like strand. 

The feather trembled as it dropped all the arrogance and really cried in panic, "Just stop! I admit defeat! I'll give you all the treasures in the Sun Secret Realm! But if you kill me, the realm space core will also be crumbled!" 

Ace's expression finally changed as he couldn't ignore this revelation at all because there was too much at stake. But he can't show it. 

"Alright, prove to me that you are not another trial with a holy gift. Show me the Realm Core, and I'll stop him and even apologize for my behavior, but without any proof, I won't trust you!" Ace coldly declared, but his heart was racing. 

Ace quickly commanded Cyrus in secret with a stern voice, "Cyrus, control your flame, and don't touch the feather until I say so. Just encase it completely. We're taking it hostage!"
