Chapter 901 Raising Thievish Skills
Ace’s eyes shone with ecstasy as he read his status and was very content.
“System, can you please explain this Lawless Darkness Authority more clearly? I mean, how should I activate it, and what is my limit?” Ace questioned since he still didn’t understand the Lawless Darkness Authority.
Furthermore, its description was too grand and ambiguous at the same time, so he needed more information before he could understand its true use.
“[In layman’s terms, once the host imagined the use of Lawless Darkness Authority, all the laws you comprehend with activated to empower it. This also means both the Soul Qi and Martial Qi will be used at the same time. With the current capacity of Host both Qi, you should be able to keep the Lawless Darkness Authority active for 21 seconds before you run out of Qi.]
[Similarly, if you comprehend more laws, the Qi consumption will increase as well.]
“[As for its effects, simply put, no restrictions will work on you. For example, formations are a type of restriction, but with the Lawless Darkness Authority, they will be useless on Host. While any attacks continue, laws will also be useless. Host’s attacks, on the other hand, will become virtually undefendable with Lawless Darkness Authority.]
“[But this also has a limit, and that is your Darkness comprehension. The higher your comprehension of darkness, the more powerful your Lawless Darkness will be. Right now, the Host can remain completely lawless in the Mortal Sky Heaven. Lastly, only someone with authority can counter an authority!]”
Ace’s heart raced instantly when he heard the system’s explanation. This was too overpowered of an ability. But he quickly calmed down because the consumption was too ridiculous.
21 seconds of invincibility wasn’t too great, especially if his opponent managed to survive or if he ran out of Qi while he was in some deadly formation. This authority was a double-edged sword that needed to be only used when necessary until he could freely use it.
Then Ace asked another grave question, “Then what is B.E.D, and since this is the First Order of Darkness, how many are there? Will I get more Elixirs of Darkness, and then will I gain another authority? Furthermore, what is Child of Darkness?”
This was what Ace was most interested in knowing. He couldn’t forget that dark throne and that feeling he had when he was in front of it. Not to mention, the Child of Darkness was an even more ambiguous title.
He had too many questions, and only the system can answer them.
However, the system didn’t reply this time, and his expression went instantly dark as he tried calling it more time. But like usual, the system was ignoring him again, which meant his luck had been run out!
Ace sighed in indignation before he gave up and decided to call Winter to inquire about the situation outside. He was curious about how much time had passed since he had taken the elixir of darkness.
Furthermore, by the amount of TP added, he knew he had been absent for a while now.
When the call was connected, Winter’s upset voice sounded, “What is it this time?”
Ace smiled wryly, “How much time had passed?”
“Hmph, do you think I’m your clock? It’s our 13th month since we entered this place!” Winter replied annoyingly.
‘A full year had passed?’ Ace mused, “How’s things going at your end?”
“What do you think?” Winter scoffed, “These are too annoying, I’m telling you. Although they can’t stop me, they are not making it easy for me to steal. Furthermore, I’m almost done with the Blood City, and only the Blood Lords’ territories are left for me to steal.
“But they are now too alert, and it seemed they had contacted the outside world. Four months ago, a few hunters entered this place, and after that, those lords started to search for me like hounds.
“Still, they are no match for me, and I made sure they will suffer humiliation.” Winter proudly declared, “Now, I’m leaving this blasted city tomorrow and going towards the demon city. Oh, and I’m already halfway towards the Veteran Member Rank!”
Ace was pleased with Winter’s progress and said, “Very good. Just continue with your mission, and I’m going to start once you guys are veteran members.”
“Just as I suspected. Alright, take your sweet time. Just be careful. I think the devils might have started to comb through their city as well. It would be annoying if you were to discover.” Winter giggled maliciously.
Ace chuckled, “Don’t worry about me. On the other hand, if you fall into danger, don’t hesitate to call for your mighty leader.”
“Hmph, as if!” Winter scoffed in annoyance and ended the call.
Ace merely smiled and then opened the thief house status to check on all the house members’ progress.

‘Hmm, Freya will be the first one to enter the Veteran Member Rank. I wondered what she would get or if they had to complete the house upgrade mission before they could get the benefits. I hope the mission will be canceled because of the Heaven’s Stealer Mission…’ Ace wondered as he was looking forward to it and was somewhat excited about finally being able to get more slots for members.
Thereafter, he closed the panel, and this time, he ate an insight pill to increase the Lock Eraser King Technique’s final stage rank. He was going to use two of the advanced-grade insight pills on the Lock Eraser King Technique and Absolute Pick Pocket.
He wanted to increase his thievish skills as high as possible before he started the thievery of the Elemental Orb of Ice and Dark!
The underground chamber fell into silence again while Ace slowly fell into trace, and all sorts of insights started to come to him!
