Eternal Thief-Chapter 636: Will She Be Awake…

"[System suggest you let him complete the soul segment technique!]"

Ace retorted with uncertainty, "You took ten thousand thief points just to tell me this? Explain and quickly!"

He was already halfway toward the pillar, but he was now more than calm because of the system's suggestion.

Since the system had suggested this itself, then it clearly meant Ace was really safe and turned the table on the old ghost as long as it involved the fake true soul!

But still, he wanted the complete summary from the system to react accordingly and adjust his retaliation plan.

"[Because this Soul Segment Technique is nothing but an imitation of real Ancient Soul Segment Technique, it would naturally have many flaws.]

"[One of those flaws is once the soul segment is active, the original primal soul can't exist anymore, not even its wisp or will.]

"[Thereby, the remaining soul segments will become nothing but empty seeds, and they can't be used for rebirth anymore unless the reborn soul spared these segments again. This touches upon an important aspect of the soul that does not concern the Host yet.]

"[Anyhow, those empty seeds then become the catalyst for the reborn soul to absorb them and raise its strength quickly, or if left alone for a long time, they will be completely exhausted after a certain period of time.]

"[The second most dangerous flaw is this technique also endangers the medium involved. In the host case, the treasure spirit!]

"[Once the process was started the treasure spirit will start to lose its sentient because it will be absorbed into the soul segment, and losing sentient mean death for a treasure spirit!]"

Ace was astonished when he heard the entire detail and grimaced, especially at the last part, since this technique was nothing but sinister.

"What will happen to the treasure if the treasure spirit died?" He transmitted while not showing any ripple in his expression. He has already stopped a meter away from the pillar with the broken mirror.

But he no longer dared to move forward because of the deadly aura ahead, and even if he wanted to, he knew he couldn't because of the strange pressure. Despite its closeness, Ace felt it was infinitely far.

"Holy Spirit, make room for this child under the Essential Pillar!" The elderly voice commanded solemnly.

"Yes!" The tower spirit's voice sounded in affirmation.

Under Ace's dilated eyes, the gray pillar suddenly started to twist as the broken mirror trembled, and thereby, a gray pillar beneath the broken mirror started to expand and start to turn black.

Ace visibly felt the oppression ahead getting lower and lower before it completely vanished when half the pillar was completely black.

The system replied at this moment, revealing a terrifying fact, "[After the treasure spirit dies, as long as that broken mirror remains as it is, it could easily give birth to another treasure spirit]

"[But there's over fifty percent chance this person is planning to absorb the power in the broken mirror to recover 90% of his true cultivation. Which will make this entire treasure nothing but an empty shell afterward, and it will crumble in a decade!]"

Ace was flabbergasted and instantly asked as he caught something, "What this had to do with me since I could simply destroy him before he could even touch that mirror? You know what that broken mirror is?"

Ace had this feeling that the broken mirror was something terrifying from the start, and now that system revealed it, he was even more sure since the system won't mention anything trifle as a mere treasure spirit.

"[This is what the system suggestion is about. As long as the host lets this person completely merge with the fake true soul, you can do something else than simply destroy it and waste this rare opportunity!]"

Ace's eyes shimmered in a dark light as his lips curled up ever so slightly, "Now we're talking sense; tell me about it!"

"[You can let that mirror absorb that fake true soul before having the Shadow Abyssal Devil devour that broken mirror!]"

Ace's thievish expression instantly shattered as his entire body trembled uncountable as invisible lightning ran past his very being when he heard 'Shadow Abyssal Devil!'

"What happens, child? Did the oppression aura still not to your endurance level?" The elderly voice noticed the raging emotions in Ace instantly, as it was somewhat astonishing since it was his first time feeling such emotion from this human.

But he only thought that it was the mirror effective on him, so he had the tower spirit use more of its remaining essential to suppress the mirror so Ace could sit in the position.

But Ace didn't reply as he didn't even hear him because of what the system just said. A breathtaking face, smiling gently at him, suddenly surfaced in his mind saying something that he would never forget even if he turns into ashes…

"… Then that means I will be able to protect you? If yes, then seal me!"

A strange calmness surfaced over Ace's mind at this moment as quickly regained his calm demeanor before he took a deep breath and looked at half of the dark corporeal pillar, which was now expanded in half of the room's space, and he could no longer feel threat like before anymore.

However, the look in his eyes somehow changed as he looked at the mirror. If before he only had a pure desire for that mirror, now he had this scary obsession to possess it no matter what!

"Senior, what do I do now?" His voice was filled with mirth at this moment, and no one know if it was real or just an act anymore…

"Yes, just sat beneath that mirror, and then we shall begin your 'training'!" The elderly voice sounded in affirmation as it was also filled with hidden ecstasy!

Ace didn't ask anything as he moved toward the mirror without wavering anymore.

At this moment, he transmitted in his mind with a tone full of expectation, "I'm in; just tell me what I need to do after you answer my question… will she be awake after we're done with this?"

The system reply was extremely simple yet indifferent, "[Yes!]"
