Ace moved at full speed, deep within the forbidden planes.
First, it was for the side mission. Second, even if he didn't get this requirent, he would still choose to head in this direction.
Because after this theft, he knew Paul would reveal this powerful disguising ability, and then the Grand Demon Duke would definitely lock down the entire arena and make sure he wasn't hiding there.
Although he could've simply killed Paul and left him there, however, by doing this, he would only be doing Leona a favor. From the mont Paul died there would be no proof left against her.
Even though the chances of Paul turning against Leona were almost null because of his insane love, it was enough to give her massive pressure from the Imperial Prince and the Grand Demon Duke as well the furious Life Demon Association.
The Association President would definitely conduct a massive search outside the area, especially in those demon camps.
No one will predict the wily thief has escaped toward the forbidden plains because it was akin to courting death.
They still didn't know about his soul probe ability that can help him acquire complete mories of soone else, so in their mind, the secret of the forbidden plains was still secure, and Paul would bear witness to this.
While everyone busies themselves in a wild goose chase, he would be in the royal zone planning his next thievery.
As long as he didn't make any move in the royal zone, no one would know he was there, and it would be already too late by then.
As for Aliya and the Spica Syndicate, he was planning to make them his eyes and ears in the outer continent. While he would have Freya create a new information network in the royal zone for him.
With that in mind, he wasn't planning on stopping unless soone decided to co after him in this direction.
With his current strength, he can continue this speed while activating the heartless stealth active for a full month.
Two days later,
Ace received a notification that he has been waiting for all this ti,

Ace's eyes instantly shone like the sun when he saw the last extra rewards. He never thought he could gain a title out of this as well, and this title also seed to be upgradeable.
"System, is this title upgradeable, and what's this fear effect?" Ace quickly questioned the system with expectation.
His first title [Disciple of Darkness] effect was quite easy to understand, but this new title was quite strange.
"[Host has to explore this on his own.]"
Ace's eyes instantly narrowed. It's been a long since the system had given him an ambiguous reply like this.
However, he didn't make a fuss since it would be akin to wasting his breath and decided to test this title's effects on his own when he got the chance.
As for his primary rewards, he left the first reward for later since he didn't require any EXP or SP right now, so he decided to save them for the future.
He quickly claid the heavenly talisman.
====
[Heavenly Talisman: Soul Shamble (Grade-6)]
[Use: One Ti]
[Effect: Shamble true soul within 5 miles radius for 30 minutes. Only effective against Manifestation Realm or lower.]
======
'Splendid stuff,' Ace comnted and quickly claid the next reward.
======
[Interdiate-Grade Insight Pills: 3]
[Description: Instantly Raised any skill proficiency to perfection. Raised any Cultivation Art at any stage proficiency to perfection. Raised any Secret Skill or Secret Cultivation Art proficiency by a single stage!]
(Note: It won't work on law base skills and cultivation techniques.)
======
Ace's eyes shimred with ecstasy when he saw the description of the Interdiate-Grade Insight Pill. He still had five low-grade-insight pills. He knew just how precious these pills were.
"System, can I use the Interdiate-Grade Insight Pills on the sa skills and cultivation arts I used the Low-Grade Insight Pills before?"
Ace quickly inquired because he had already used low-grade insight pills on his key skills, so he was a little worried if it had any effect on the interdiate-grade pills.
"[No, it does not affect any skills or art raised with the Low-Grade Insight Pill. But the Interdiate-Grade Insight Pill still follows the sa principle as the Low-Grade Insight Pills, one pill per skill or cultivation art.]"
"Well, I can live with that." Ace chuckled contently.
He then claid the fourth reward, which was the second weapon he was getting from the system, and it was a soul weapon as well.
=====
[Thievish Soul Cord: Grade-6 Soul Weapon]
(Note: A Secret Skill Required to Control this Soul Weapon & Heavenly Soul Qi)
=====
'What?' Ace was startled before he thought of his fifth reward, which happened to be a secret skill, and quickly claid it.
=====
[Secret Thief Skill: Thievish Soul Cord Control (Soul Skill)]
[Requirents to learn: Thievish Soul Cord & Heavenly Soul Qi]
=====
'So, these two were a pair? Didn't this an if I had failed to acquire this skill, I would've suffered a trendous loss?'
Right at this mont, a huge amount of information suddenly released in his mind, and he quickly absorbed it. This kind of information exchange was no longer a bother to him.
After a full minute, the information was finally absorbed, and Ace's eyes shimred in astonishnt.
A translucent cord appeared in Ace's hand at this mont. This was the Thievish Soul Cord!
When Ace released his orange soul Qi, the Thievish Soul Cord suddenly ca alive as it absorbed his heavenly soul Qi and its translucent color started to turn into an orange.
However, when it had its fill of Ace's heavenly soul Qi, it suddenly started to shrink until it was the size of Ace's wrist, and it wrapped itself around his wrist like an orange wristband.
Ace's lips curled as if he had already expected this. Orange soul Qi suddenly flashed on his wrist before the eye-catching orange wristband faded away.
It didn't vanish into thin air, but it was still on Ace's wrist. Ace just used its color-changing function to change its color like his skin. He also used the thousand-face mask to hide it under the disguise.
From the Thievish Soul Cord Control, he got the full information about this Thievish Soul Cord and its various functions and how to control it.
Not only that, but this Thievish Soul Cord was really a treasure for a thief like him, and when he mastered the Thievish Soul Cord Control at the perfection level. He will truly be unhindered!
Suppressing his excitent, Ace quickly claid his last reward, which was what he wanted the most among these six rewards.
The mont he claid the reward, an interface opened in front of him, which baffled him because this was the fate map!
Suddenly, the map started to zoom out at an extrely fast pace as Ace watched dumbfoundedly as the area of the map beca wider and wider.
Thereupon, Ace's eyes suddenly contracted when he saw the golden black compass pointer's actual location, and the map also stopped shrinking when this location appeared.
======
[Lightning Elental Orb's Location has been locked on the Live Fate Map.]
[From now on, the host will be able to see this location by spending 1 Million TP at any ti.]
======
The live fate map vanished at this mont, snapping Ace out of his stunned state.
He suddenly trembled when he comprehended what had happened just now.
"So, all this ti, this golden black compass point was pointing in the Lightning Orb's direction?!"
