Eternal Thief-Novel



Azure Wind Continent, on a colossal mountain peak, surrounded by azure winds. At this moment, three figures in dark mantles with capes appeared outside the small shack on top of the mountain peak. 

However, before they could step further, another tall figure appeared wearing bronze color Taoist robes. He was a human who appeared to be in his early thirties with a handsome face with a long goatee and sharp eyebrows and astute sky-blue eyes. His long black hair fluttered as he stood before the three figures. 

He was surrounded by the aura of mystery; this human had a distinguished identity among the human race and held absolute authority over them, and he was as old as five ancient sects. He's the Grand Elder of Azure Wind Mountain Sect, Dream Shatter Ancestor!

Dream Shatter's peaceful expression crumbled into a faint smile on his handsome face as he said to those three capped figures in greeting, "I was just wondering when you guys will show up. It's been a long time, Senior Devil Ancestor, Senior Demon Ancestor, and Senior Blood Ancestor." 

"Tsk, tsk, and here I thought we managed to sneak into here without getting noticed." An eerie voice chortled from the 2'5-meter-tall figure stood in the center of the three as the cape on his head suddenly blew back, revealing a bewitchingly handsome face of an otherworldly man.

eαglesnᴏνel The crimson devil horns complimented his long hair of blood color, and so were his eyeballs, while his irises were white and pupils black, and two long sharp fangs were revealed from his crimson lips. 

After his face was revealed, he started to give off a devilish aura. The aura he was giving off was extremely sinister, as if he was walking straight out of hell. 

This devilishly handsome person with an aura like a true devil was none other than the most powerful person known in the Golden Sky World, the Devil Ancestor, Edward!

"Heh, he's probably allowed you to sneak here to give you a false sense of accomplishment, like he always does, right little Dream Shatter?" A coquettish voice rang from the 1'9-meter-tall capped figure standing right beside the Devil Ancestor. 

The cape on her also flipped black, and a transparent veil-wearing beauty appeared as her skin was pale white while the outline of her bewitching face was quite apparent. Her hair was purple while her big round bright purplish eyes shimmered in shrewdness, giving the sense that she was scheming something nefarious. 

She was the most powerful Huntress of the Hunter Race and the third-strongest expert of the Golden Sky World, the Blood Ancestor of Blood Continent, Margret. 

"Humph!" Lastly, the 5.1-meter-tall giant burly figure grunted coldly before revealing his face.

A wizened black face of a demon appeared with pitch-black eyeballs, and his two twisted gray antelope horns were 10 feet long while his head was bald. Still, his demonic aura was only the slightest bit weaker than the Devil Ancestor. He was the second-strongest expert of the Golden Sky World and the Ancestor of the Demon Race, Albert. 

"Seniors, you guys know I don't have the capability to fool any of you guys." Dream Shatter humbly replied with a smile. He was like a junior standing in front of those three terrifying experts. 

But none of them believed Dream Shatter's words as if they knew just what kind of thing this guy was capable of, but they had no intention of exposing him either. 

"Alright, stop with your façade." Edward dismissively said, "I hope you don't mind me bringing along two friends, right?" 

"I won't dare. In fact, I'm glad you bought two seniors with you. This way, those guys from the White Crown will get crushed for sure." Dream Shatter chuckled. 

Margret spoke at this moment, "Heh, again, with your humble act? You clearly knew Edward would come since he's too greedy while Albert is desperate, and you have my student captured and even used her as bait, so I was going to come, no matter what." 

Margret's voice was somewhat cold at the last point. 

Dream Shatter didn't deny her words and coolly explained, "Trust me, Senior, I haven't harmed a hair of her, and she's living even more lavish than me. You can even ask her yourself and can take her away any time you want to." 

A faint smile appeared on Dream Shatter's face, "Besides, I've done all this after informing you through the Ice Lord since I don't dare to bother you. And since you didn't contact me to stop me, I consider that as your approval, and your student also cooperated after she found out I'm your acquaintance." 

Margret's purplish eyes lips as her faint purplish lips visible behind her veil curled up, creating a breathtaking scene, "That better be the case, or you know me well, Little Dream Shatter." 

"That girl is your student?" Albert looked down at Margret with a hint of shock. 

"Heh, I was as surprised as you when I found out." Edward chuckled. 

"Why the hell am I the only one who finding it out now?" Albert pursed his lips as he felt betrayed. 

"Because you're a self-centered idiot." Margret giggled as she commented without holding back. 

Albert's expression turned nasty as his aura spiked, "You, Harlot, I dare you to say that again!" 

"Why wouldn't I dare call an idiot who lost the key an idiot? IDIOT!" Margret retorted while giving Albert a side-eye. 

Before Albert flew into a rage, Edward stepped in, "You two, behave." 

Without giving them a chance to speak, he then looked at Dream Shatter, who was silently watching the scene play out like a spectator; he coolly said, "Where is he?" 

Albert and Margret could only stop as they knew it was not the time for bickering among themselves. They were all here for something, especially Demon Ancestor Albert, who wanted to find Ace no matter what. 

Dream Shatter replied with a faint smile, "I'm afraid Prime One is not here." 

Edward's dismissive expression turned rather cold as an extremely eerie aura started to envelop Dream Shatter, "Do you think you've grown to such a degree that you can make me unhappy? Even your Master wouldn't dare to make me unhappy." He questioned impassively. 

Dream Shatter didn't seem to be bothered by the aura at all, but he still bowed his head in front of Edward and respectfully said, "I'm still a nobody in front of Senior Devil Ancestor. However, Prime One had told me to receive you guys with utmost respect before he left three days. I have no idea where Prime One had gone, but before leaving, he gave me all the things necessary to handle the raid at the White Crown hideout." 

"I only want my key in that thief's possession. It doesn't matter if I meet with that eccentric or not." Albert coldly declared. 

Edward looked at Dream Shatter with scrutiny before he glanced at the shack behind him. He nodded, "Alright, that guy always seemed to avoid my friendly intentions. So be it." 

Dream Shatter smiled wryly as he replied, "It's not like Prime One didn't want to meet you guys. It's just that something came up abruptly, and even I'm not aware of the matters of Prime One. Still, it's been quite a long time since he left the azure mountain. But he'll soon come back, I'm sure. He's as interested as us in the White Crown and that Thief's secrets."

"Heh, even Little Dream Shatter didn't know about someone's origin? I don't believe you." Margret scoffed. 

"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth." Dream Shatter shrugged, "Furthermore, before leaving, Prime One told me that the Beast Ancestor and Eleven Queen might come here in half a month to cause trouble." 

Edward seemed quite intrigued when he heard this, "Oh? Are those two coming together? Did something interesting happen that we are unaware of?" 

"Yes, something like that. The Wise Elves seemed to have lost some kind of ancient inheritance they had been hiding for over two thousand years, and they're blaming humans for that." Dream Shatter sighed helplessly as he had no idea just how a human could appear in the elven continent and even snatch an ancient inheritance that they had been protecting for over two thousand years. 

"Something like that happened? Don't tell me it's that thief?" Albert instantly blamed Ace as, in his mind, only he was capable of such a thing. 

"No possible. They said that person didn't hide his identity, nor did he use any skills like the Sky Stealer. I don't know about the full matter, but I'm sure we'll find out once those guys arrive. So, I hope you guys can lend a hand." Dream Shatter shamelessly asked for their help. 

"You only told us about it so you could have us do your chores, typical Dream Shatter." Margret sneered. 

"It doesn't matter. It's been a long time since all of us gathered together. Especially that old cowardly snake. He probably thinks of us as dead. Let's give him a big surprise." Edward playfully stated, especially when he thought about the Beast Ancestor, a ruthless glint flashed past his devilish eyes. 

Dream Shatter smiled as he said, "Alright, let me escort you guys to the palace. I'll give you details that Prime One left!"
