Eternal Thief

Ace was startled when he saw the system interface and the system voice rang.

=====

[Side Mission has been issued]

---

[Side Mission]

[Mission: Please provide the system with a Drop of Vampyre Noble Blood Essence!]

[Time: 15 minutes]

[Reward: Unknown]

[Punishment: -1 Billion Thief Points]

=====

Astounded, Ace asked, "You want a Drop of Vampyre Noble Blood Essence, why? Furthermore, why am I getting a mission despite heaven's stealer mission still being active?"

"[System can't tell you and this side mission was only triggered because you have already competed the condition!]"

Ace scoffed, "Even if I completed the condition, you made sure I couldn't reject it by putting this ridiculous punishment in place, huh? Well, I don't mind giving you a drop as long as you tell me if this blood fusion can also give me the bloodline of Vampyre.

"After all, according to this voice, I can have this bloodline despite being a human. Oh, and what kind of benefits would this blood essence have? If you don't answer me, I might accept the transfusion, after all having this bloodline for 1 billion thief point didn't sound a bad deal to me!"

Ace was always under the impression that the bloodline can't change unless someone had a treasure like the Mystic Bloodline Cist, or it can only be further evolved with compatible bloodlines like the abyssal bloodline or his house members.

Although he also has a bloodline which is sealed for some reason, and it will be unsealed once he undergoes his final heavenly punishment. But he was under the impression that the bloodline related to the abyss wouldn't be useful for him since he was human.

However, now, he was given the choice to fuse with the Vampyre Bloodline; truth be told, he was very tempted. After all, according to this voice, even if his sealed bloodline was extremely powerful, it wasn't in this Supreme Bloodline Universal Records.

Although he had no idea what this Supreme Bloodline Universal Records were, he was sure that only extremely powerful bloodlines might have the qualification to be record within and the Vampyre Bloodline has to be one of such bloodlines.

That's why he was willing to fuse with this bloodline and even discard his own bloodline since he didn't have any close feelings toward this sealed bloodline.

As for Eva, as long as he could have that bloodline, he didn't mind giving her his own blood, or she might even get her own since she had also entered this place with him. So, he had no misgivings.

Lastly, Ace had another plan in mind, the Mystic Bloodline Cist, if he could somehow acquire this bloodline and then claimed the ownership of the Mystic Bloodline Cist, he can easily change his bloodline and become a true Vampyre which should be impossible otherwise.

But the system interference has made him stop in his tracks, and now he wanted to know why the system wants the drop of the Vampyre noble bloodline essence but not the complete bloodline.

"[Host can indeed undergo a bloodline fusion and become a half Vampyre, but your human bloodline will also be overpowered as a result. By doing so, you will lose the qualification to acquire something only you can.]

"[As for the Vampyre Noble Blood Essence, you can use it in many ways, such as you can refine the remaining blood essence into your body and directly unsealed your already weakened sealed on your bloodline and even strengthened it. If you are lucky you might even assimilate some bloodline ability of the Vampyre Race and have trace of their bloodline in yours!]

"[But system would suggest you save it for now, at least until you complete your Heaven's Stealer Mission!]"

Ace was flabbergasted by this respond, system was directly telling him not to undergo the bloodline fusion with the Vampyre Bloodline, or he would lose something that only he can have.

Just this reason was enough for him to quickly give up since he knew this thing might be related to system and system had never disappointed him. As for unsealing his bloodline, this made his heart raced, but he also gave up on it since as system said the seal was already weakened, and it would break once he undergoes another heavenly punishment.

"You better not make me regret this!" Ace gravely warned while musing, 'Well, I'll keep it and if Eva needs it, I'll give it to her since system seemed to have some other plans about this bloodline. And it's not like I can't come back again to get everything here.'

Ace then looked at the statue and replied, "I would like to choose the ten drops of Vampyre Noble Blood Essence!"

"First reward has been selected!

"Prepare to receive ten drops of Vampyre Noble Blood Essence!"

The next moment, unexpectedly, a crimson beam suddenly shot from the statue towards Ace's forehead, and it was so fast that even Ace wasn't able to react.

Ace panicked a little, but he didn't sense any danger, and just as he was about to use his heavenly Qi, he felt something icy cold settling between his eyebrows. A crimson moon mark had appeared on his glabella!

The voice rang again at this moment, "The blood essence has been sealed within your body as well as the Vampyre Blood Refining Technique because your human body is too weak to bear the power of a Vampyre Noble. When you reach a sufficient level, the technique will be unlocked, and you may start to refine the blood essence!"

Ace was startled as he touched his glabella, and he felt the cold moon mark on it before it slowly faded away within his skin as if nothing happened.

The system voice rang at this moment.

=====

[10 Drops of Vampyre Noble Blood Essence have been detected!]

[Required host permission to take one drop?]

=====

"Take it and can you help me bottled up the remaining drops and release that technique?" Ace asked with a somewhat depressed tone since this wasn't as he imagined it.

He thought he would get those blood drops in some container or bottle or something, yet it turned out to be sealed within his body, and now he had no idea how to take it out. So, he would only ask the system, after all the system had stated itself that he didn't need to refine this blood so leaving it inside his body would be not good.

"[Don't worry host, without unsealing this seal, system can't take the blood so, the remaining blood will be delivered to host and the technique will also be released upon unsealing this seal. Please wait for 5 minutes!]"

Ace finally relaxed and didn't say anything as the system began to work its magic.

The voice rang again, "Now you may select from one of these three treasures for your second reward; you only have 5 minutes to decide!"

The next moment, a white jade scroll with red runic marking, a somewhat tattler black book, and a purple gold talisman appeared in the air. Strangely, Ace wasn't able to probe or sense anything from the three things, so he waited for an explanation.

However, the voice didn't speak again even after a minute passed and Ace frowned "Um… can I get description on those items?"

"No, choosing something is part of fate. If you are fated for something, it will be yours and if you are not then no matter what you do, you can never get it. So, you have to choose and leave it to your own luck and fate!"

'What a scam!' Ace cussed when he heard those profound words, as he was very displeased. He wanted to take everything but didn't dare to overestimate himself, afraid he might offend someone he shouldn't have.

"System, can you appraise them for me?" Ace then quickly asked the system for help.

"[You are not in contact with the item!]"

Ace's expression was gloomy to extreme, 'This selfish little…'

Now, he had no choice but to rely on himself as he used the fate map and didn't find any help. So, could only give up and looked at the three items closely. He quickly excluded the talisman since he had enough of his own.

The only items remaining were the jade scroll and the tattler book. Ace deeply looked at the jade scroll and then the book.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "I choose…!"
