“[A Main Mission has been issued!]”
Ace suddenly felt like crying, because he knew every time this notification rang, his luck would turn for the worse. He somehow started to synonym main missions with bad lucks.
He can’t be blamed for this, since he nearly died completing the last one, and these missions were always out of his league.
Noa didn’t see Ace’s ugly expression because of his hood and asked, “Then where are we going now? Since the people from the royal zone are here, we should lie low until they left and increase our strength in the meantime.”
She wasn’t a fool. She knew this Demon Gate Trail had nothing to do with them because they were not like the others. After all, they had a ‘God’ looking after them and providing them with heaven-defying techniques and skills. They don’t need to enter any trail to gain some status or resources.
However, Ace bitterly shook his head and said, “I don’t think we’ll be able to lie low now.”
Noa was confused by Ace’s unexpected response because she didn’t think he was a reckless person, and he won’t do anything excessive while the royal zone was looming over their head.
Ace opened the mission after taking a deep breath. He knew this was bound to happen since he didn’t get a primary mission after the system’s upgrade. The main missions were always deeply related to the events he goes through.

Ace suddenly felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the synopsis, ‘High-Grade-7 Killing Formation and refining my blood?!’
Ace’s eyes turned icy the next moment. He never thought these demons would be so ruthless, or this demon from the royal zone.
He finally understood the demon after his life was not an ordinary demon from the royal zone because a seven-grade formation was probably a national treasure for these demons, and it seemed this demon wanted to refine his blood for some reason as well.
Which made him confused and angry at the same time because he had just theft some demons. He didn’t kill anyone, so they come after him so heavily and even wanted to refine his blood?
There was definitely something he didn’t know, and he could guess they were taking him for someone else or guessing wrongly who he was.
‘No one knows I’m a human except Noa, so everyone thought the sky stealer is a demon with special traits… Special Trait…’ Ace’s eyes shone as he spoke out loud, “A Special Bloodline!”
“What?” Noa was stunned.
“They’re thinking I’m a demon with a special bloodline, so they want to refine my blood for some reason and whatever they’re taking me for, it had to be a very high-level existence of the demon race that probably went extinct. I think this demon race blood is beneficial somehow and some powerful demon tribe from the royal zone knows, that’s why they react so quickly and fiercely.”
Ace wasn’t a fool. He had experienced this same situation with Gordon when he thought his parents left a very important treasure with him, and he considered it very beneficial to himself. That’s why he stopped at nothing to get it!
This time, the situation seemed the same but more complicated, and he wasn’t facing degraded Gordon anymore as well.
Noa was shocked by Ace’s words. She didn’t know how Ace come to this astonishing conclusion so abruptly, but she could tell Ace was extremely certain by his grave voice.
She said in a grim voice, “Isn’t it more of the reason for us to stay low now?”
Ace suddenly smile coldly and said, “No, I want to see just how far they’re willing to go or just how desperate they are for this bloodline. I’m going to play with their prestige, and it’s also something I have to do. I have no choice in this matter.”
Ace was telling the truth. Although this mission was more of a warning to him, and it would not be simple as well, he gladly accepted it because of the compelling rewards, as well as he wanted to teach whoever wanted to refine him an unforgettable lesson.
Ace was very confident in escaping now. If things go south, that’s why he had become more determined to complete this mission. But he knew he had to change his ways now, or he’ll never know how he died!
‘Want to Kill me? Watch Me Steal, Heh, I get the meaning behind it.’ Ace smiled coldly before he looked at bewildered Noa.
He said softly, “Let’s go, we’re going toward the Ocean Demon City!”
Noa’s heart raced at hearing Ace’s mild yet commanding voice, which was compelling her to follow him, and she did without asking any questions!

Somewhere inside a bright room,
Killer was currently standing respectfully in front of the sitting masked demon at this moment.
The masked demon’s gentle yet powerful voice sounded, “Do you find the origin of those twelve little birds we capture with Cursed Blood Compelling Formation that day?”
Killer answered respectfully, “I’m ashamed of letting your highness down. I only found those birds are common Rambo Sparrows, and it seemed that Hex Master was controlling them with a mind-shifting hex and watching our actions. The moment we activate the Cursed Blood Compelling Formation, he quickly cut off the connection to escape the formation detection while suffering a heavy backlash.”
The masked demon remained quiet for a while. No one could tell what he was thinking before he said, “This isn’t your fault. I think we’re dealing with a Flawless Hex Master with Flawless Hex Demon Bloodline.
“Because a Mind Shifting Hex is an advanced hex of hex demon race and using it on multiple targets is not an easy feat, especially if you’re controlling a cultivator that’s why those Hex Demons used it on ordinary small life forms like insects, birds, fish. This was also the reason the Hex Demon Race nearly became the ruler of our Almighty Demon Empire!”
His voice was filled with boundless killing intent at the end of his sentence.
Killer sneered coldly, “But they were still parish in the hands of the imperial clan!”
“Sigh… it’s not that simple. But we’re not here to discuss history, now, are we?” the masked demon coldly chuckled before saying, “You said that demon whose face was used by the hex demon had no memory of the hex demon, right?”
Killer didn’t dare to say anything about the past again. He knew this was a very sensitive topic, and he didn’t want to stumble upon something he can’t handle!
So, he quickly nodded in affirmation and replied, “Yes, Your Highness, after soul-searching that piece of trash, I found nothing. It seemed that hex master just randomly selected him.”
“It seemed to be the case. We need to try another approach then. We need to bait that hex demon out, and since he loved stealing and didn’t know the fear of death, let’s play his game. Put the Myriad Hex Manual in the upcoming auction of Life Demon Association and announce it publicly. I want every demon to know about it. Let’s see if he can resist the temptation of his clan’s biggest secret hex manual!” The masked demon’s malicious voice rang.
However, Killer’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Your Highness, are we really going to set a bait with the original manual?”
“Yes, that manual is very special. As long as a demon with hex demon blood touched it, the manual will react.”
“But what if someone else bought it, or that hex demon did not appear at all?” Killer still was against taking such a risk with this deadly manual.
“Don’t worry, no one will get that manual as long as I’m here. Besides, those ants will be courting death if they eyed my possessions!” His voice was laced with bloodlust as he said those words.
“Yes, your highness, I’ll immediately contact the Association Head in common provinces. I don’t think he won’t give his highness face.” Killer finally agreed.
“One more thing.” The masked demon suddenly said before Killer could leave.
Killer respectfully asked, “What is it, your highness?”
“Investigate this Spica Syndicate, I heard their leader, All-Knowing Parrot, is quite capable, and he has the biggest secret information network in common provinces. I want that network and this person. He’ll be a good pawn in common provinces…”
