Chapter 870 Symbolic Thief



Chapter 870 Symbolic Thief

At this moment, Ace was enshrouded in darkness, and the earlier white space was now completely black. He has been like this since the first day he entered this place, and his sword cores react abnormally.

He lost the concept of time as he was immersed in a strange state where all he could think of was the sword and the Sun and Moon Sword Intent in the Monolith. On the other hand, the two sword cores in his martial and soul space continued to revolve while releasing a mysterious aura.

Suddenly, the mysterious runes appeared on the sword cores and released a terrifying oppressive might.

The darkness around Ace suddenly churned, and the next moment, a mysterious suction force appeared and started to devour that darkness into Ace’s martial and soul space before the sword cores greedily devoured it all.

Focus finally returned to Ace’s eyes as his killing intent with the sharpness of a sword was swirling within them. Although he didn’t know how much time had passed, for him, it was like awakening from a dream.

The difference was he remembered everything in that dream, and as he watched, the darkness lifted from the white space while his sword cores were going through a massive evolution. He was starting to understand many things that he couldn’t even comprehend before, and he felt like he had just crossed a massive wall.

This entire process lasted until the entire darkness was gone, and Ace’s eyes were finally clear.

‘I think I’m very close to understanding the Sky Sword Manifestation of Sky Sword. My sword cores are probably equal to the perfect proficiency of the Sky Sword Cores.’ Ace’s eyes shimmered with ecstasy as he now fully grasped the first level of the sky sword manual.

Ace’s thief sword cores’ foundation was built upon the sky sword manual, and the deeper understanding he had of that manual, the more control he had over his sword cores. He was still too far away to break away from the echelon of Sky Sword because that art was too complex.

Until he grasps the Sky Sword Crown stage of Sky Sword, he won’t be able to surpass that sword art created by the Executioner Sky Sword.

Nonetheless, Ace wasn’t worried about it since he was only following the fundamentals of Sky Sword to create his own unique sword path, and he was very successful in it.

Right now, Ace’s sword intent has completely changed, and he is no longer in the minor realm.

Ace’s eyes then suddenly trembled before confusion filled when he finally noticed the missing Sun and Moon Sword Monolith. He looked around, except for whiteness. He didn’t see anything.

However, before he could comprehend what had happened, the system’s voice sounded.

“[Host has been in the state of epiphany for the past 943 days, so the system has been blocking notification and house calls so the host won’t get disturbed. Now, the notification blockade has been lifted!]”

Ace’s expression paled as he wasn’t expecting over two years long epiphany, heck, he wasn’t expecting epiphany at all!

Not only had three of his titles been upgraded, but he even earned another one, which could only mean that while he was in that state, many things had happened in the outside world.

Furthermore, both Noa and Freya had tried to contact him, especially Noa. So, he was even more worried that something might’ve happened to them. He even forgets about the missing monolith.

He wanted to reprimand the system for blocking the notification when SMSC’s cold voice rang, “So, you’ve finally awoken.”

Although he wanted to contact Noa and Freya right away, he had to deal with SMSC first, and it was also the chance to inquire about the monolith.

“How long has it been, and where is the monolith?” Ace feigned ignorance about the fact that he already knew about his over two years of epiphany.

“It’s been over two years. As for the monolith, didn’t you already have absorbed it all?” SMSC wryly said with a hint of disbelief.

“I’d absorbed it?” Ace was surprised by this revelation. But he wasn’t too much surprised since he knew the nature of his sword cores.

“So, what now? Since I needed to destroy it after I comprehended the sword intent of the sun and moon. Now that it had been absorbed by me, did this mean I passed?” Ace asked with narrowed eyes.

“Indeed. Even though your method was somewhat unorthodox, it’s the same thing anyway. You should also know that the will of the Sun and Moon God helped you in your enlightenment by using all of its remaining holy power, or you could never have reached this stage of the sword so soon.

“So, I hope you will keep your promise. The will of the Sun and Moon God believed in you to the end, and I’ll follow the Will of Sun and Moon God as well and hand you the inheritance and the map that leads towards the secret treasure!” SMSC solemnly stated.

On the contrary, Ace was astounded when he heard about what the Will of Sun and Moon God did for him. It was completely unexpected, and now it seemed to have gone after helping him.

He now felt slight gratitude towards the Will of Sun and Moon God because even if it didn’t help him and this was just a lie to earn his sympathy, it still could’ve easily attacked him in that state.

The system’s interference was proof of just how miraculous that state has been, and if the Will of the Sun and Moon God had any malicious intention, it could’ve ruined it all for him, but it didn’t.

Although Ace seldomly trusts someone, much less, feels gratitude. But if he did, he would always repay his debuts, and finding a successor for the Sun and Moon God was not a big deal for him.

He solemnly nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll find someone worthy of Sun and Moon God’s bloodline and inheritance!”
