Chapter 776 Reward Pool Mission (1)



Without giving Thomas a chance to react, he threw a black storage ring, and Thomas was utterly mortified as he caught it and even wanted to give it back, but when he thought about Milly's death, he hesitated. 

He knew he needed this, or he might never be able to avenge her, and despite his pride or unwillingness, he clutched the storage ring, and thick vines suddenly popped out on his temple. 

"I-I... just know that this wretched life is yours!" Thomas knew the word of gratitude was no longer enough to repay Ace for what he had done for him. So, this was the final thing he could give, and he will give it as long as Ace wanted it!

Ace didn't say anything. He knew there was no need to. The things he gave Thomas were something that not even the top three races have. But for him, they were useless, or he simply had too many of them at this moment, so he really didn't feel any reluctance to give them to Thomas. 

Instead, he felt a strange peace and fulfillment deep within his heart, and he can't describe that feeling as it was quite novel for him. 

If Ace had been looking at his fate map at this moment, he would've been shocked because Thomas's fate point suddenly shimmered in a glittering amber color ring before it vanished almost instantly!

"Alright, brother Thomas, you may find a place somewhere on this island and peacefully cultivate in the technique I gave you. You'll surely be surprised once you see it. 

"In the meantime, I'll make sure to pave the way for you to go back safely with the demons you come with, just wait for my talisman arrival. And don't think for a second. I'm doing this for you. It just happened to be aligned with my own interest." 

Without giving Thomas a chance to react, Ace vanished from the island, leaving the demon dumbfounded and perplexed. 

In the end, Thomas sighed before he bitterly muttered, "I don't think even my life would be enough to pay him, right, Dear?" 

No one was there to answer him, and the complicated look in his eyes was replaced with ruthlessness and hatred before he unclenched his fist and wore the black ring. 

But when Thomas peered into the ring, he was absolutely gobsmacked and felt as if he was in some sort of dream. 

Because within the grade-7 storage ring, a small pile of more storage rings rested on a corner, and in the center of this empty space ring was something out of the legends for Thomas. 

They were actually 24 Dark Golden Jade Scrolls arranged in a beautiful transparent crystal box lying on top of a pile of books. On the transparent box were written imposing dark golden letters. 

'The Demonic Flame of Arcana Soul Cultivation Technique!'

--- 

After leaving Thomas on the small isolated island, Ace landed on another one close to where Thomas was. 

Ace's reason for leaving Thomas alone was not because he didn't trust him. It just that he won't be able to help him with what he was about to do. Furthermore, he didn't want to shock too much to Thomas as well. 

He could've also just kept him in his thief's space and only released him once he was done, but he decided to let him out since that dark place was not something he wanted Thomas to experience for longer than necessary. 

As for introducing him to Eva and the rest, this was out of the question because the less Thomas knew about him or his people, the safer he would be, and some part of him still didn't want to expose his house members to anyone. 

At this moment, after putting another concealment formation, he summoned another two people out. Two tall, graceful figures wearing black and hooded faces appeared in front of him. 

"Oh, you're all dressed up and even summoned my real body. Does this mean we are going out today?" Freya's alluring voice sounded. 

"There is no Qi in this place. Where are we?" Noa questioned as she was more interested in the scenery around, as well as was excited about finally coming out after she just broke into the Soul Embryo Manifestation Realm!

Ace looked at the two thief house members, and even he couldn't fathom their auras anymore, and his lips curled up in a cunning smile. 

"I summoned both of you out because I know you both are bored and want to test your newly found strengths against powerful opponents. So, here is your chance to do just that and also earn some House Points while doing so. 

"First, you two should look at these missions before I debrief you further." Ace smilingly stated before he released two house missions for the two ladies.
