Eternal Thief-Novel



"It's been a while, huh, Brother Thomas!" 

When the demons heard the young man's words, only the demoness reacted while the masked demon was already pointing the tip of his spear at the white hair youth who was Ace!

Ace's eyes shimmered when he saw Thomas strange get up and also felt a sinister aura from him while he was also bleeding. 

"Who are you? Where you came from just now?" The demoness coldly asked while she clenched the sword grips in her hand. But she didn't attack right away as she was far more interested in the golden swirl behind Ace, which he just walked out from. 

In her mind, that was some kind of portal that might lead to some unimaginable location where she might find far more treasure than anyone else. So, only after keeping this unknown youth alive can she get all that information. 

The main reason for her confidence was naturally because she could only sense the soul river aura from Ace while she and the masked demon were at the peak of the platinum river core realm. 

However, Ace's expression didn't seem to be the one who was in trouble; instead, he glanced at her dismissively and asked, "What is he bleeding?" 

She wanted to scoff, but strangely she felt strangely compelled to answer this question, and her eyes started to turn blank before she spoke emotionlessly, "I was using him as bait to kill those aborigines for their treasures. In the process, he got that wound and has been bleeding since." 

After she replied, her blank expression changed back, but she didn't seem to remember what she had just said. She coldly uttered, "Do you think I need to tell you about our business? You are not qualified to question him…" 

However, Ace coldly spoke again, "Why is he following your orders?" 

The blank expression returned to her face before she replied, "Because he's a Miasma Demon Soldier No.7, and he has to follow my every command. This is what the Council Minister told us when he introduced us to these Miasma Demon Soldiers and paired them with each one of us." 

The blank expression vanished again as she coldly talked again, "… question him or me. Now if you don't want to die, tell me what this golden portal behind you is." 

Ace completely ignored her as his expression wasn't too good after hearing what she just told him and looked at Thomas, who was still in battle stance, ready to lunge towards him on moment's notice. 

"You still ended up in such a state despite managing to enter the royal zone, huh? Tell me do you remember me?" Ace asked. 

Before the demoness could fly into a rage for Ace's discretion to continue to ignore her, she was startled when White's face suddenly started to twist, and his height started to increase. 

Under her dumbfounded eyes, a bronze skin demon appeared instead of the young man. The demon looked quite ordinary, and if she hadn't just seen him transforming from a young man into a demon herself, she wouldn't even spare a second glance at this demon. 

"W-what…" She took a step back with a horrid look in her eyes as she felt strange trepidation all of a sudden. 

"F-Feng?" A deep raspy voice suddenly sounded from the masked demon at this moment which was filled with shock and melancholy. 

Ace could feel a wave of emotions suddenly rise from the masked demon, who seemed to be a mere statue exempt from emitting any emotions a few moments ago. 

The demoness was also shocked before it was the first time she heard this guy even utter a word, and he never reacted to her questions despite her ordering him to reveal his origin and the Miasma Demon Soldiers.I think you should take a look at

She even thought he was not capable of speech and just a mindless dog who would follow her every order. But now, it didn't seem to be the case at all, and it all was connected to this mysterious person who appeared out of nowhere. This thing was getting more and more spookier by second for her. 

However, before she could question or decide to retreat from here silently, something unimaginable happened. Thomas suddenly twisted his body toward hers and thrust his spear right into the demoness's forehead! 

The demoness was caught completely off guard, and when she realized that Thomas could also move against her, she was already dead with a spear pierced into her brain, and her eyes were widely opened in disbelief!

Even Ace was surprised by Thomas's sudden decisive act. 

Thomas then thrust back his spear, and the demoness fell on the ground with her brain leaking out of the bloody hole, and he faced Ace again. 

"So, you were not fully bound to her at all," Ace commented at this moment, but he was secretly on guard. 

However, the next words that came out of Thomas's mouth were not what he was expecting, nor the series of next things that they triggered!

He suddenly kneeled in front of him before speaking in a pained voice, filled with pleading, "I need your help. Please help me!" 

Before Ace could react, a panel had already opened in front of him, and the system's voice rang at this moment.
