Eternal Thief-Chapter 1019 Life Lightning Quartz (1)
Chapter 1019 Life Lightning Quartz (1)
After Purple Sword and Gentle Jade left, no one came to disturb Leroy again, which was very appreciated by Ace, and as the night fell, it was time to take care of the Lightning Mountain!
Before Ace was still thinking about how he would handle the aftermath of taking the Life Lightning Quartz since the natural lightning and the lightning beasts on the mountain were all because of the Life Lightning Quartz,
Once he excavated the Life Lightning Quartz, the mountain would become normal, and since it was one of the imperial school's special training fields, they wouldn't just brush it off with an act of nature excuse.
In fact, this might raise some people's guard and suspicion. Although Ace wasn't planning on raiding the imperial school treasury, he still had to consider the imperial clan, who were already wary.
Ace again left his mountain and headed toward the south, deeper into the mountain range. This entire mountain range was allocated to the personal disciples of the imperial teacher, so everyone living there was an elite among the elite.
After a few minutes, Ace entered a large mountain; although it was slightly smaller than his, it wasn't anywhere near ordinary.
But the owner of the mountain wasn't alerted of the intruder since it was way out of the formation and his own abilities.
In the cultivation chamber filled with blue mist, a burly demon was sitting cross-legged while the blue mist was swirling around his body.
Suddenly, Ace's hooded figure appeared like a ghost behind him, and he used soul words to command, "Sleep until you hear my sound!"
The demon's solemn expression suddenly became peaceful as the blue mist around him quickly vanished. His soul was far weaker than Ace's, so the effect of the soul words on him was even more powerful.
Ace didn't waste any more time and sacked the demon into his thief's space, and the next moment, a little chick appeared on his shoulder. It was naturally Cyrus.
Cyrus was with Eva all this time, but after she became Zack's disciple, she had to hide him in her ring of endearment. But since Ace was already here, he decided to take him back because when it came to hunting natural treasures, Cyrus was very capable. freewebno vel.com
So, it would become quite easy to find the Life Lightning Quartz no matter its ability. Even if Cyrus can't find it, Ace is confident in the fate map and his own prowess.
"Hmm? Is it time to eat?" Cyrus sleepily muttered.
"Yeah, I'm taking you to find something good. If you do well, I'll reward you!" Ace smilingly said as he looked at the little guy who only knows how to sleep, eat, or have fun.
Cyrus's drowsy eyes instantly became active and shone like two sapphires when he heard Ace's words and quickly vitalized, "What are we finding? Is that food? How much you'll give me?"
"It's not something for you to eat. It's not remotely related to fire, so don't even think about touching it. I'm only taking you out so you can have fresh air or go to sleep." Ace stated.
"Whaaat…" Cyrus cried in indignation, "You're just bullying me! Do you want me to starve to death?"
Ace smirked, "Little brat, say something believable."
Cyrus began to rant on and fight for his food with every method he knew, but he didn't get past Ace. In fact, Ace found it amusing to tease Cyrus, and this was also helpful for his childish mentality.
Soon, after bypassing every security measure, Ace finally came back to the lightning mountain, which was extremely magnificent in the dark of night. It was like the lightning was dancing in the dark sky.
"There's really something good in this place!" Cyrus' eyes shimmered with excitement as he gazed at the lightning mountain full of hunger.
Ace wasn't surprised by this and also opened the fate map and carefully began to scan the lightning mountain. Finding the Life Lightning Quartz within so many red fate points was very hard.
At this moment, Ace finally spotted something; there was a signal fate point at the top of the mountain. Still, he couldn't confirm if it was the Life Lightning Quartz he was looking for.
"Alright, I'm going to enter. Tell me where this treasure you're sensing is." Ace asked Cyrus.
"I want half!" Cyrus instantly demanded, raising his tiny beak slightly.
"Forget it. I'll find it myself, and you won't even get the fire-type delicacies I've prepared for you as a reward." Ace shrugged his shoulder.
Cyrus panicked a little when the negotiation broke before it could even start, and hearing about those delicacies, he really began to crack.
"T-then just a little of this food as well as all the delicacies!" Cyrus put his new condition with clear unwillingness.
Ace smiled a little as his heart softened, "Alright, if it's just a little piece, and it won't affect the Life Lightning Quartz, you can have it."
Cyrus quickly cried in happiness, "Yay… alright, let's capture this food quickly. It is hiding under this mountain!"
Ace's eyes flashed as he didn't think it was under the mountain, not at the top, which meant his speculation was inaccurate, and this Life Lightning Quartz was quite hard to deal with. If not for Cyrus, he might've had to waste huge time searching for it.
Furthermore, despite his own sensitivity to lightning elements, he can't sense the Life Lightning Quartz because this place is filled with natural lightning aura.
"Underground, huh? Alright, point me in the direction. Leave the drilling to me." Ace stated as he quickly headed toward the pointed direction.
The next moment, Ace's entire figure suddenly turned into a hazy dark mist before he began to sink underground, and then he turned into a shadow streak and darted in the direction Cyrus was pointing.
This was the Element Divergence of shadow law, and it was very useful to pass through things without damaging them or leaving behind any traces. Ace's proficiency in laws related to darkness had already reached an extremely profound level, and the more he understood the darkness, the more powerful the branch of laws became. He can even cover Cyrus under his shadow intent without hurting him.
Following Cyrus's lead, Ace was shocked when he dived almost a hundred miles deep into the ground, and now he begins to feel even more dense lightning Qi hidden here.
After going five miles more, Cyrus finally cried, "It's right up ahead!"
Ace also didn't need to hear it from Cyrus because he suddenly entered an emerald lightning sea!
