Eternal Thief Chapter 162

Published at 29th of March 2022 07:33:04 PM

Inside the dark swamp forest, the rain was pouring hard, and dark clouds covered the sky.

The forest was gloomy and poisons, to begin with, and this dark sky and heavy rain make the environment even more spooky.

A group of eight people was standing in the middle of nowhere and this was indeed Ace's party that escape from those nobles a couple of minutes ago.

But their pace was abruptly hindered by a powerful voice a moment ago. 

When Nola, Lilith, and the others heard that mighty voice their faces turn bloodlessly pale! 

Everyone thought that someone from Leo or Mark's group found them and this person want to take them back so they could continue that gashly living bait plan. 

However, no one was willing to go back and die like livestock. 

"Scatter!" Nola scream while she ran in a different direction.

Nola's character wasn't bad, but even she was unwilling to die here so she fled in a different direction in the hope; she would escape while someone other would distract the enemy. 

Everyone had the same thought in mind as Nola and even if they were weak, the will to live overcome their poisonous weak bodies and they ran! 

Even Dewan whose condition was worse than everyone free himself from Ryan's support and weakly ran in a particular direction. 

Dewan was very grateful to Ryan because Ryan was carrying him since he was gravely injured and he didn't abandon him in that disorder either. 

But now he didn't want to drag Ryan or the others with him so he chose the direction where the enemy's voice came from! 

"I'll buy you guys some time!" Dewan collects every bit of energy in his body and roared while clenching his spear tightly. He was ready to die so the others could escape! 

Ace didn't want this, but he had no other choice in this matter, and in the end, he let Dewan go as his heart turn icy cold. 

Ace felt the Dark Void release Heavenly Darkness Qi and his turbulent nerves instantly calmed down. 

He wasted no more time and also pretend to run like the other six although he had calmed down he was still fearful though. 

Because the owner of this powerful voice was none other than the hidden expert Ace was trying to avoid all this time! 

Ace ran like a mortal in the east direction but never use his skills or inviable bead for some reason. However, he knew what could've drawn this unexpected guest here so quickly! 

This was bound to happen after what happened during the living baits gathering but he never expected this guy would reach here so quickly! 

The scariest part was Ace never detected the soul signature nor its presence until this expert was only twenty meters in his soul sense range! 

This gave Ace the chills because it means this mysterious expert also has some treasure that can hinder his heaven-defying soul sense! 

Ace only detected him because this expert showed himself his own accord. 

'So these treasures that my soul sense can't detect existed and they might be the end of me! Dame those rice bastard originations!'

Ace resentfully thought after his guess turns accurate and he knew only those organizations have these kinds of treasures. 

Ace could've seen this coming long ago when the martial sense suddenly vanished from his soul sense radar. He only thought that it was because of the rain and became ecstatic, he never thought of other possibilities.

Just because of this sudden rapture, he didn't notice the one important fact, and that was when the martial sense vanished Alvin's soul signature also vanished with it! 

If he just took notice of this, he could've concluded what he does just now much earlier! 

However, this little carelessness also gave him another crucial lesson; he can never become careless while a powerful, mysterious enemy is still on the playing field, and never relies on his senses all the time since there are treasures that can counter them as well! 

Ace vowed to be even more observant and calm in the future if he left this place safely! 

Just twenty meters away from where Ace's party fled.

A blue caped person was standing on the top of a tall poisonous tree as it was nonchalantly watching those eight ants scattered in different directions and one was moving toward it. 

This blue caped person was indeed Alvin who has come here for his first target in his suspect list! 

Alvin could've stopped them by just using his Qi river core cultivation base pressure but he didn't because of some particular reason. That's why he shouted and even stop using his blue cape that was a very powerful concealing treasure! 

This is the exact treasure that just fooled Ace's soul sense!

As for his heavenly sense Ace never used it because Alvin would've sensed it. 

"Heh, still pretending, eh." Alvin mutter to himself while a stiff smile creep out on his impassive face and he blurred from his standing spot before vanishing like a ghost. 

The next moment, Alvin appeared twenty meters away, but he wasn't covered in the blue cape anymore and he wore plain white robes. But even in this heavy rain, he was completely dry with no speck of dust on his robes. 

Alvin coldly looked at a silhouette moving clumsily before him and his lips curls upwards. 

"Reveal yourself!" Alvin coolly said and released a slight aura of his river core cultivation on that silhouette five meters away from him. 

Suddenly that silhouette's inept movement becomes sharp!

It was trying to flee!

Alvin didn't even wince after seeing this sudden quick movement skill and released twenty percent of his cultivation base aura. 

That silhouette's distinctive movement becomes weaker as it shivers a little before finally stopping and turning around to face Alvin! 

It finally gave up on fleeing since it could tell it was impossible in front of this terrifying being.

When this figure finally turned around, it was a little girl in her early fifteens!

Alvin smile faintly seeing this submissive attitude that he wanted. He closely looked at his first target of suspicion.

This little girl's face was very cute but her skin was bluishly showing clear signs of being poison like the others. This little girl was none other than the shy girl and the youngest member of Nola's party, Natalia!

Alvin coolly spoke at this moment, "Heh, your disguise skills are not so bad, but it can't change your Qi projection nor you're good at hiding your capabilities. If you didn't kill those two ants to warn the other fools and reveled your Flowing River cultivation I was saving you for the last!" 

Natalia's shy face was long gone, and she was coldly looking at Alvin with no hint of fear in her eyes. 

"I'm not your enemy!" She gravely said in her beautiful voice. 

Alvin chuckles coldly, "Let me decide after I ripe this face of yours" 

Alvin exploded his aura to thirty percent as he was ready to use his vicious methods.

"WAIT! Look!" Natalia was alarmed when she felt the mountain-like force crushing down on her and a black wooden token abruptly appeared in her hand!

Alvin's eyes contracted when he saw that black wooden token. There was a vivid red skull engraved on it and surprisingly, the skull eyes sockets were lit in purple flame!

"You're a 'Purple Assassin' from Nightmare Ghosts!" Alvin exclaimed and retrieve his aura spontaneously. 

Natalia have a sigh of relief after she felt the mountain-like weight lift. 

"Yes, I'm a Purple Assassin from Nightmare Ghosts and I can't show you my real face and you know why!" Natalia grimly said while coldly looking at Alvin's astonished face. 

"Yes, I apologized for my previous action. You should've shown me your 'Ghost Token' early." Alvin faintly said but deep in his eyes was a hint of fear! 

The organization, Nightmare Ghost was very low-key, but this organization is the scariest of the three giants! 

The reason for it was very simple because every member of this organization was a trained killer! 

Nightmare Ghosts had different ranks of assassins, White, Grey, Blue, Purple, Black, Royal Killer, and King Killer!

As for how Nightmare Ghosts Organization divided these ranks no one knows but some people believe that it had to do with the special heritage of 'Night Killer Ghost Sect' behind it! 

The Night Killer Ghost Sect was the sect of killers in Royal lands and its members are called Night Ghosts.

There was a scared code of Night Killer Sect that was famous throughout the entire Azure Wind Continent; 

'Never kill a Night Ghost or the Killer Night will loom over you for eternity!'

Although, this was the code of Night Killer Ghost Sect it was even famous in lower lands though because Nightmare Ghosts Organization also follow this code blindly! 

That's why no one dares kill someone from the Nightmare Ghost because once someone does it the entire organization will never stop until they kill that person's entire birthplace!
