?"Stop, or you'll die!"

Ace was alarmed when he heard this frail voice in his head. He was sure that no one was around because of the fate map except for…

His eyes widened as he stared at the giant sword, "You?" freewebnov(e)l.com

"I must commend you for reaching this point despite the seal outside. You are extraordinary to remain unaffected by the Eight Eye Dark Devil's killing intent, and even my master's sword intent has little effect on you.

"So, out of appreciation for your talent, I advise you to give up on the thought of taking this Eight Eye Dark Devil skull or me. The moment you touch this skull or try taking me out, the Eight Eye Dark Devil's slumbering consciousness will be awakened and possess your body.

"Once it escaped, it will be over for the Mortal Sky Heaven. So, turn back now and never come back and keep this secret to your grave, or it will only bring calamity to the world and your loved ones!"

Ace was flabbergasted, but he didn't think the sword was lying to him since he had guessed that this sword here was suppressing this skull. But he didn't think it would be this serious.

"Can you tell me what happened here?" He asked as he was curious about how these devils were able to get here and who was this sword's master.

"It's an ancient secret, knowing it will only bring you harm and inflict karma." The sword frailly replied.

Ace frowned, "Alright, I won't pry into this, but I might have a way to deal with your situation. What if I can store you in a living space treasure with this skull intact?"

Ace didn't want to give up on this sword since he could tell it was extraordinary, and he lacked a good sword. He had already dismantled the Heaven Imposing Sky Lock and claimed all the treasures used in making it, including the black sword.

But since then, the sword has become completely silent, and he never heard it speaking again; it was like it had lost its consciousness or the spirit had died. Still, that sword was extremely powerful.

Now, he just lacks another sword to utilize his two-sword style fully, and this sword was perfect, so he wanted to have it from the moment he laid his eyes on it.

"It's impossible to seal this skull's spirituality with mortal sky heaven's treasures. The moment you place it in a living space treasure, it would burst apart, creating a space vacuum and vanishing into space turbulence.

"At that time, this vile thing will get a chance to retaliate against me and free itself. So, you should just give up on this idea. If it were that easy to deal with it, I wouldn't have been stuck here and turned into this wretched state." The sword replied helplessly.

'But my treasure is not from mortal sky heaven!' Ace's eyes brightened since he knew the thief's space was extraordinary and nothing could escape from it.

Still, he didn't spring into action right away and asked the system, "System, would it be alright if I store this skull in the thief's space?"

But the system didn't reply at all. It was quite clear Ace's question was unworthy of even bothering to respond.

"Well, I'll take it as a yes." Ace scoffed.

"Don't worry. My treasure is not something a mere skull can break. I just want you to tell me, if I were able to subdue this thing, would you be willing to become my weapon?" Ace hurriedly asked.

He knew the treasure a spirit was capable of selecting its own master, and without its reorganization, it wasn't easy to use them, and it might even harm the user.

"Boy, you're taking it too lightly. Let's just assume you have such a treasure, but the moment you take this skull out of this space with me, the seal outside will also be gone, and at that time, millions of Eight Eye Dark Devil's subordinates will be free to wreak havoc. The mortal sky heaven will suffer another calamity at that time. I would never agree to this! Don't ruin yourself for greed. You have a bright future ahead of you." The Sword sternly advised as its opinion of Ace was starting to change.

Realization dawn upon Ace at this moment, he finally understood why those skulls outside didn't come to life all these years, it was all because of that seal created by this sword's master.

"You don't need to worry about those devils outside. I have already collected their devil cores. If you don't believe me, look at this." Ace confidently stated before wave his sleeve and behind him a mountain of black cores appeared!

"What?! How did you manage to take them without suppressing their spirituality?" The sword was flabbergasted as it was extremely familiar with those devil cores' nature.

They were like undying bugs, and even if you killed them, they would come back to life within a short span of time, and it was almost impossible to destroy those cores. Even if someone takes them, as long as they are careless, those devil cores will regain their nature again and be reborn.

But the cores Ace takes out have their spirituality intact, which means he didn't fight them at all, which was completely out of the sword's expectation.

With another wave of his hand, those cores vanished again, and Ace chuckled, "I told you my treasure is not so simple. So, tell me, are you willing to accept me as your master as long as I take care of this skull as well? If I'm not wrong, even if you remain stuck here, you'll die, and then this skull will reawaken. So, why don't you get rid of it once and for all ad? I'm pretty sure you also don't want to die in a place like this."

This time, the sword didn't retort as it knew Ace was stating the fact. It was already at the end of its tether, and once the sword spirit died, there would be no one to keep the devil's consciousness in check; the seal outside would also vanish, and it would eventually revive.

"If you really can free me and get rid of this abomination, I will acknowledge you as my master." The sword finally agreed.

Ace's lips rose, "Don't worry, you won't regret it!"

The next moment, Ace again moved his hand on the skull, and an instantly ghastly sensation overwhelmed him, but because of the sword's warning, he was fully prepared, and since the sword didn't resist either, the skull and sword vanished without a trace!
