Eternal Thief

Chapter 628 Glittering Golden Fate Point

"Where did she go?" Jerice was snapped out of his trance as he looked grimly at the spot where Livia vanished.

Randall also panicked for some reason and quickly used his Qi soul manifestation realm martial sense, but he didn't find any trace of Livia, which made him even more flustered.

He bellowed at those other leaders in anger, "What are you, fools dazing off for? Go and prepare the formation barrier unless you want Crown Princess unhappy!"

Those leaders frowned ever so slightly, but they knew better than to offend Randall. He was far more dangerous than Livia because he used tricks while Livia didn't!

After everyone left for preparation, Jerice spoke grimly in a whispering tone, "Elder Brother, what should we do now? If she remained hidden all the time and then killed that monster. We'll lose both our chance and that monster!"

A sliver of madness flashed into Randall's eyes as he berated, "You fool, do you think I don't know that? Go and do your part. I'll do mine!"

Without waiting for Jerice's reply, he used a movement skill and left the destination unknown.

Jerice gnashed his teeth at this moment as ruthlessness surfaced in his eyes, 'Just you both wait!'

After the light pillar vanished, Ace took a deep breath and moved like a lightning bolt toward the mountain peak.

He was using his 90% speed, which was as fast as an Early Stage Soul Manifestation Realm expert or slightly faster even.

All this time, he was using 25% of his true speed, which was as fast as a platinum soul realm expert.

But he was only using it to confuse the others and create an opening for himself. So, he could sneak into the next floor entrance while those elves were still thinking that he was somewhere in the mountain and it would take him over an hour to reach the top.

When they realized by not finding the light pillar again, he would be long gone pulling a fast one over the elves as well as the tower spirit!

Within a few minutes, Ace had crossed hundreds of meters, and while escaping all the hurdles with Fate Map, he was moving unhindered toward the top of the mountain top.

All those elf scouts were still under the false impression that their traps would slow the monster down, but all they were doing was just wasting their effort since the fate map could detect all the traps under grade-7.

Lastly, because Ace keeps the initial stage thief's vision active all the time, it was already at the middle level and steadily moving toward the high level. This also means he could now see grade-4 and low grade-5 traps himself without any need for the fate map.

In fifteen minutes, Ace had already crossed the cloudy ring around the city and could now see the towering city walls build around the mountain peak.

Furthermore, a white transparent white barrier surrounded the entire city, which was clearly above grade-5 and probably a high-grade-6.

However, Ace remained calm while he approached the barrier, he could also sense powerful Qi fluctuations all over the place, especially around the walls, and he knew a huge ambush was waiting for him the moment he showed his presence.

That's why Ace avoided them and found a remote area of the wall where the security was minimum. It didn't take him long to find such a place on the southwest side of the wall where he could only feel soul realm experts.

Ace stopped right before the barrier and flipped his hand. A palm size white triangle appeared. This triangle was none other than the High-Grade-6 Space Distortion Triangle Ace got from Paul, and he got it from Leona.

Ace also used it to rob the life demon auction.

Space Distortion Triangle was probably one of the most precious treasures at Ace's disposal because it could create cracks in an active formation barrier without raising any alarm!

Without wasting more time, Ace activated the Space Distortion Triangle close to the white barrier, and the moment it came in contact with the barrier, it started to distort before a small crack started to appear in the barrier.

Ace was using the worldly lightning Qi since he was afraid to break this treasure with his heavenly Qi like those treasure swords. In sword intent, he didn't have a choice to use his heavenly Qi since the sword intent originated from his heavenly Qi.

But in this matter, he had a choice, and he used it.

Ace increased the power, and the crack started to increase until he was enough for him to sneak in without touching the barrier.

Ace quickly slipped in before anyone could notice him and stop the Space Distortion Triangle. The barrier returned to normal before anyone could notice the crack.

Ace's lips rose in satisfaction as he stowed away the Space Distortion Triangle and used his soul cord to anchor the wall before he started the climb.

With his quick action and stealth, Ace successfully stepped into the sixth-floor elven city, and he had to admit this place was far more lavishly made than cities on the lower floors.

Still, Ace's attention was on the dark golden compass pointer, which was showing him the way toward the next floor's entrance, and headed there while avoiding the elves' blockades.

But he was stopped in his tracks when he saw another barrier surrounding the same building, which had the next floor entrance, and at the same time, there were black  corporeal walls covering half of the building, which gave off a terrifying feeling to Ace.

However, Ace's eyes widened when he saw something startling in the live fate map because the compass wasn't pointing toward the entrance but a fate point instead!

Behind that black corporeal walls, right where the doors of the buildings should be, there was a fate point which was coated in Golden color, but what make Ace shocked was the golden color was shimmering in a glittering sheen.

'A Glittering Golden Fate Point!'
