Eternal Thief

Chapter 1130  First Nirvana

In the hidden cavern within the Beast Calamity Mountain Range, a cocoon of pitch-black darkness was pulsing in ethereal dark blue light like a rhythmic heartbeat.

At this moment, two little creatures, one an inky bird and the other a plump yellow hamster grabbing one of the bird's talons, flew into the cavern.

"Big boss is still not coming out," Chuchu said uncertainly as she let go of Cyrus's talon and landed on the stone ground.

"Sigh…" Cyrus sighed as if he was exhausted, which clearly wasn't the case. Well, I guess we need to keep making sure no one approaches this place while big bro is sleeping; we need to guard him."

He then quickly added sternly, "We also need to remove those foo… I mean, attractions, or they might draw some unwanted attention!"

Chuchu nodded seriously with clear admiration in her eyes, "You really think about everything, boss!" Cyrus's eyes flashed with smugness as he raised his beak high. "Of course, little maid, I'm an adult!"

Since he was feeling great, Cyrus quickly forgot he had just returned after going for almost five months and said, "Let's go foodh… I mean, scouting again! I've already sensed a fo… a threat! We need to make sure it won't approach this place!" Chuchu's eyes lit up as she thought about how every time Cyrus sensed a 'threat,' they would always end up close to something very delicious. Furthermore, as her boss, Cyrus always shared whatever he found with her, at least as long as he could keep her in mind before swallowing the entire thing. Just like that, the two mischievous kids quickly left to play, and this wasn't the first time at all.

Everything happened too quickly that day, and Ace didn't have time to send Cyrus back into the thief's space. The moment he ordered the system to start the bloodline sweep, he instantly fell into slumber before this strange cocoon of darkness enveloped him.

Cyrus freaked out at first, but when he sensed that Ace's life wasn't in danger, he realized that he was undergoing some kind of changes, which seemed extremely beneficial for him. He quickly calmed down.

However, after waiting around three months for Ace to wake up and faithfully guarding him, Cyrus and Chuchu got bored and decided to sneak out to play. It was Chuchu's idea.

In the end, the little guy makes sure that Ace isn't in danger, and as long as he doesn't leave too far, he can quickly return.

That's how they both started wandering the Beast Calamity Mountain Range while stealing Qi herbs from powerful beasts' territories. Almost five years had passed since that day, and they both made a name for themselves as the Thieving Vermins.

However, today, the pulsing cocoon of darkness suddenly started to stir as the dark blue pulsing light started to increase before the cocoon started to tremble greatly, and the traces of lights around hundreds of miles suddenly vanished, and the darkness kept spreading without stopping.

It was like the nemesis of light had suddenly descended personally, and the fearful roars of beasts all over the beast calamity mountain suddenly started to reverberate far and wide!

In this darkness at this moment, the darkness suddenly started to churn and gather into the shape of an ethereal, humongous silhouette with two dark blue flames burning bright under its hood. The next moment, this humanoid silhouette suddenly turned into an inky owl with devil's horns seemingly lit with dark blue flames. This eerie phenomenon made every living being tremble with fear before the dark phenomenon vanished like a nightmare.

Within the cavern, in the place of the dark cocoon, stood a handsome 7'2 feet tall figure with a toned body wrapped in a gray robe and long, inky black hair draped over his shoulder.

Ace's appearance remained the same, but on his glabella, a dark blue symbol of the horned owl was visible now. Within the owl's dark sockets were marks of a cherry bloom-like pentagram. "That suffocating feeling is finally gone!" Ace exclaimed as he clenched his fists. A small shockwave suddenly creaked little cracks around the cavern.

Ace was startled, and at this moment, the system's emotionless voice rang. =====

=====

Ace's eyes shimmered when he saw the evaluation chart for further upgrading the Nirvana Thief bloodline from grade-1 to the forbidden grade and finally to the transcendent grade.

'If only that thief point division hadn't happened, I could've already upgraded it to the forbidden grade…' Ace sighed ruefully with a hint of resentment, but he knew he shouldn't dwell on it since he had already achieved what he wanted to.

Furthermore, he could feel the changes in his body were far greater than he had imagined. He was feeling a strange harmony with his Qi and his body like never before, and he felt as if his previous body was actually a fake one.

It was like he had broken from a cage and finally become free of all the restrictions, and he was glad that he followed the system suggestion about choosing the talent from the Child of Darkness bloodline for his first integration!
