Eternal Thief

Chapter 1136  Unexpected Encounter!

Sensing the high temperature and profound fire law in the air, Ace's expression was solemn because his thief sense was raising a faint warning as he looked towards the towering volcano, emitting black smoke from its massive maw. The sky was covered in thick, dark ash clouds.

However, what drew Ace's attention was he walked into this place without even realizing it. Although he was sorting out the system upgrade, he wasn't completely immersed in it.

Even though he was in stealth and running at full speed, covering almost tens of miles of distance with a single step, he could still feel this kind of huge change in law. After all, now that his cultivation was no longer blocked and even became more powerful after his bloodline change, he was even more sensitive to the laws and felt profound reasoning with them.

But one thing he was absolutely certain about was that Cyrus was somewhere in that active volcano which was giving him a faint dreadful feeling.

'That little brat probably had found some kind of fire elemental treasure in that volcano. But it's still strange that he isn't replying to my transmissions. Knowing him, he should've already come running to me the moment he sensed my presence. Something is wrong!' Ace's eyes flashed with a hint of worry before a faint killing intent flashed past them.

Although he was somewhat angry at Cyrus taking this kind of risk, he was more worried about his safety. He was still a little kid in his eyes, and he had never let him experience any grievance or hardship since he considered him a family. So if anyone hurt him, he won't be holding back.

Like a flash of dark lightning, Ace quickly made his way towards the mouth of the volcano. He also looked at the fate map, which was shimmering in silver.

But Ace was more concerned about the potential threats in the vicinity than about treasure. Just as Ace was reaching the top of the volcano, a sudden earthquake suddenly appeared—the entire volcano suddenly trembled! ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)lbin(.)com

"Roar!"

A monstrous roar suddenly reverberated like thunder, and the temperature around the volcano suddenly rose to an extremely high degree, stirring the fire laws with it.

Ace suddenly felt an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly spreading from the core of the volcano, and the entire volcano seemed to be boiling, as if on the verge of erupting.

However, Ace's focus instantly shifted when he sensed Cyrus's faraway presence suddenly closing in, and he was coming right in his direction. Furthermore, Ace was horrified when he sensed Cyrus's presence, which seemed quite weak.

Killing intent almost manifested in him, but he controlled himself and quickly tried to close the distance.

It didn't take long before Ace was able to spot Cyrus finally, but he paled when he saw that Chuchu, with many bloody scars, was surrounded by pale yellow flames and was running directly towards him, leaving behind a trail of fire.

However, Ace doesn't care about Chuchu in the least bit because he focuses on the small dark figure enveloped by Chuchu's flames. It was Cyrus, and his wings seemed to be completely burned, as well as his once glossy fur. There was a deep wound just below his small neck.

His beady eyes were barely opened, and he seemed to be looking in Ace's direction, having difficulty leading Chuchu toward him. Cyrus's barely opened eyes suddenly sparked with relief when he saw the familiar hooded figure suddenly appearing in the thin air. The figure seemed to give off a terrifying dark aura, but he wasn't its target. In fact, he could feel amidst Ace's raging emotions of anxiety and deep worry for him.

"B-b…big bro… I'm so-sorry!" He was barely able to utter those words because he had lost consciousness. After all, he was only able to keep his consciousness because he wanted to lead Chuchu to Ace since he knew he would be safe once Ace arrived.

Now that he finally saw Ace, all the exhaustion from that injury and his escape washed over him.

Ace felt his heart ached when he heard Cyrus's weak voice, and his eyes almost went bloodshot. But he didn't lose his reason since he could feel that something terrifying was quickly approaching, so he didn't have time to examine Cyrus's condition or ask Chuchu what had caused such a great deal of injury to Cyrus.

But he knew whatever it was, he wasn't a match for it as well, or taking revenge would be extremely foolish. Instead, he had a better way to make sure whoever did would pay a bloody price he would regret his entire life.

Chuchu quickly stopped in front of Ace as her condition wasn't any good from Cyrus, but her little eyes were filled with hatred as she cried in indignation, "Big Boss! It's Mountain Tyrant! He hurt boss despicably…!" Ace's eyes narrowed when he heard this name, and he finally understood how Cyrus was hurt so badly. From Chuchu's muddled explanation, it seemed that Mountain Tyrant played some kind of trick to hurt Cyrus; it wasn't a frontal battle.

However, he didn't have time to hear the entire story, and he quickly picked up Cyrus and Chuchu: "Don't resist. I'm sending you to a safe place. But don't think that I'll let this go with that!"

Ace coldly glared at Chuchu. He knew Chuchu would have a big hand in this, but since he saw her bringing Cyrus to safety, he wouldn't abandon her. After all, Cyrus seemed to care a lot about his playmate. So, he decided to send her into the thief's space, which was now reinforced after the system upgrade. He also alerted both Eva and Alina about Cyrus's condition so they could tend to him in his place.

The next moment, Ace quickly used the Thief Shelter. He could've easily used a teleportation talisman to flee the scene instantly, but he wanted to stay and see the face of this Mountain Tyrant, who hurt Cyrus and, if possible, gave him an unforgettable gift! After all, this is how Sky Stealer took revenge!
