Eternal Thief

“I’ll go and fetch the mountain lord!” One of the guards with a light beard quickly replied and turned around.

However, he was stopped before he could even start running toward the mountaintop.

“You’ll take too much time, and I don’t have that. Just handle this idiot and punish him according to the union’s rules.” Done stating, the sword under his feet shimmered in blue sheen before he turned into a blue streak and vanished toward the mountain top.

Those two guards felt like they were given a new lease on life and inhaled and exhaled sharply to calm themselves.

But the very next moment, malicious rage surfaced in their eyes as they both turned toward Ace in unison. They were indignant, and they nearly brushed with death, and all of this was because of this unknown fellow.

One of them hurriedly approached him, and instead of picking him up, he threw a vicious kick on the side of his stomach.

“You little shit! How dare you scheme against us!” The other one angrily barked as he joined in, and he was even more excessive and kicked right on Ace’s head.

They beat him while cursing and were so angry that they didn’t even notice the lack of response from him until they kicked him three or four times.

“He probably lost consciousness when he was thrown down by Lord Immortal. Let’s just throw him in prison and wait for the mountain lord’s order. I’m pretty sure he’ll be venting on him soon.” The small eyes guard scoffed coldly.

The guard with a light beard nodded, but his expression turned grim, “But we need to make him regain consciousness first. If he died, we won’t be able to live as well. That immortal probably wanted to wash his hands from this death as well.” He said in an extremely tiny tone.

The other guard’s face changed as he was spooked, “You didn’t use your full strength to kick him, right?” He asked in a low voice.

“Do you think I’m an idiot?” The other retorted.

Although they both were angry, they didn’t dare to murder anyone even because the punishment was simply too harsh, and they knew for a fact that they couldn’t be able to hide it no matter what.

The Union was not a place where anyone could do as they pleased, and rules were followed by everyone, even ‘Immortals.’

The punishment for killing someone without any proper trial was getting killed after that person and in the cruelest way possible.

Although those Immortals were not punished in the same manner as long as they didn’t kill a fellow immortal, they would still punish for killing a mortal.

After calming down, they picked up Ace by his armpits and dragged him through the mountain gates. They were going toward a large building which was the guard post.

After entering the building, the guard with a beard said to the other, “I’ll report it to Leader. You go and lock him up, and don’t forget to get rid of his black clothes.”ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

The guards, with small eyes, nodded before they dragged Ace toward a stone staircase and then dragged him down.

However, right when he entered the stairway, the guard felt like his mind jumbled, and almost instantly, his eyes went blank, and he started to fall down.

But he was gripped by Ace, who was now standing as if nothing had happened, and he had this cold grin on his face as he looked at the unconscious guard.

“Thank you for the memories and your face.” He said in a whispering voice before lightning flashed over the small eyes guard. The next moment Ace’s face started to change again and soon turned into the small eyes guard.

He had already annexed both guards’ memories while they were busy hitting him. They were both mortals, and their memories were simply a drop in front of memories Ace had absorbed, while their kicks were like features to him.

Ace was just waiting for that guy on the sword to leave, and now he was fish in water.

But first, he had to make sure to arrange another ‘idiot.’ So no one will be able to tell the difference.

The only relief was these two didn’t even bother to look at his face, which was covered with his hood when he was dropped from the sky. So, the other one didn’t know his face, and this guy will no longer be able to tell anyone the truth either.

Black lighting suddenly flashed in Ace’s hand, and he carefully controlled it to make the guard a vegetable by frying his brain. The next moment, the same lighting started to char his face and then mingle it enough that even his mother won’t recognize him anymore.

Ace then just fed him a lowest-grade healing pill which made him heal, and an idiot was ready to go. What was left were his clothes, Ace’s robes started to change as they now appeared the same as the guard, and he had plenty of black clothes, so it was even more easily done.

After Ace made sure everything was perfect, he then dragged the ‘idiot’ and threw him inside an empty cell and locked the door.

He finally sighed in relief after he was out of the woods. But his expressions were no longer peaceful but gloomy.

Because he got very basic information about this Sun and Moon Sword Union from these two mortal humans, but just this much information was enough to make Ace extremely cautious of this place.

First, the Immortals were actually Cultivators, and only these mortals called them as such, and those cultivators didn’t bother to explain either.

Second, anything outside those gigantic gates Ace saw while coming here was known as ‘Mortal Domain. Those gates were known as ‘Sun and Moon Ascension Gate.’

Third, there seemed to be no racism in this place, and the environment here was entirely harmonized between many races. But still, those races that were superior traits received special treatment as long as they used those traits for the greater good of the Union.

The last and most important piece of information Ace found was the rules of the Union were absolute. In the history of the Union, there hadn’t been any incident where someone got away after breaking any of the Union’s rules.

They seemed to have eyes at every corner of the union, which wasn’t good news for Ace at all!
