The next day Ace open his eyes and he felt refreshed like never before after this deep peaceful sleep. He was about to get up from his lying position when he felt a weight on his right shoulder, he confusingly turned his head and saw Eva's face was resting on his shoulder.
She was looking at him with her bewitching eyes while smiled charmingly.
Ace was taken aback by this sudden development. Her unique refreshing fragrant was in the air and Ace couldn't help but think if he was feeling refresh because of it.
His eyes subconsciously landed on her perfectly shaped red cherry-like lips, he could feel her breathing on his cheeks. He felt his arm was between something soft and warm, he saw Eva was wearing a tight blue dress with short cleavage. He witnessed a deep line there and Eva's hands were wrapped around his arm. His arm was touching her soft peaks!
His heartbeat raced and his blood boil.
When he saw Eva's mature slender hot figure, he felt his body was on fire and his face turns red and he felt a strange desire rising from the bottom of his heart.
Ace never felt like this before not even when he huge little Alina in all those years together.
Ace has a strange feeling that if he didn't distance himself from Eva right now he would do something bizarre that he shouldn't have and let her down because of it.
So, he frees himself from her grip and quickly gets up, and with quick steps, he escap… 'ahem' exits the cave.
His education in this department was incomplete because no one would ever tell a kid this kind of stuff, right?
Moreover, he becomes alone when he was extremely young and after that, he never has a friend because of his silent and reserved nature. Only when he meets Alina did he start to feel like a normal kid again but that wasn't last long as well because of her 'illness'. And no one wanted to waste their time on a poor worthless kid.
That's why Ace was still a pure kid from the heart.
Eva clicks her tongue after seeing Ace escaping like a frightening cat. 'Didn't that book say all the men are the same and they would never let go of a chance like this when a girl gives 'hint' herself?' Thought Eva in frustration. Because she knew about her nation-destroying features.
But the next moment she giggles because she thinks Ace was special and even in this situation he was still acting like a gentleman and control himself.
'Well I can't make 'it' too easy for him, right?' So, I won't do this anymore what if he thinks I'm that kind of girl?' Eva blush heavily as she looked at her sexy dress, she suddenly thought about her strange and bold behavior.
She also didn't understand just why she would be like this bold around Ace. But one thing was clear and that was it happening because of her Half-Devil lineage.
Ace was washing his face and calming his nerves. He takes a deep breath and couldn't help but think about the beautiful sight that he witnesses just now.
'sighs'
'Why did I run away like an idiot its not like she was doing something bad to me?' He thought weirdly.
Since he didn't know the answer, Ace decided to sort out his loot that he didn't have a chance to because he was in hurry at that time so it was a good thing to distract himself.
He opens the main panel of the system and he sent his thought on an envelope-like symbol on the dark panel. It was the symbol of the notification panel. The dark panel changed and the panel open. In this panel, he can see all the previous notifications of the system.
Since he knew about the amount of the storage space treasures because of the thief's space upgrade he didn't check them and move on.
Finally, he saw something strange that he previously missed,
[Grade-1 Herb, 1000-Years Blood Rose: 1]
"1st Grade?!!" Ace was alarmed and subconsciously scream. He rubs his eyes to see if he didn't see wrong but there was still 'Grade-1' there!
He became excited how could he not be?
Because according to his observation until now, not even a single treasure comes close to being a 'True Grade' treasure. And now out of nowhere, he finds one in this kind of place.
Ace's breath quickens as asked, "System what is this Blood Rose?"
If this is a grade one then he strikes it rich this time around. However, he was very confused about how Dulce was able to lay her hand on this kind of treasure.
"[5 Thief Points for appraisal.]"
It was like someone has poured a cold bucket of water on him,
Ace clenches his teeth as he said, "YOU! Just take it." He suddenly wanted to strangle someone really bad.
=========
[Thief Points: 5945]
"[Blood Rose Decryption: An ancient herb born from 'Ancient Abyssal Soil' that was drenched in millions of innocents living beings.]
[Effect: Able to increase the density of any Abyssal Devil's bloodline lineage.]
[6 Life Phase]
1. 100 Years [Increase the bloodline density 5%]
2. 1000 Years [Increase the bloodline density 15%]
3. 10,000 Years [Increase the bloodline density 30%]
4. 100,000 Years [Increase the bloodline density 50%]
5. 500,000 Years [Increase the bloodline density 75%]
6. 1,000,000 Years [99% Bloodline density, and Awakening of the Royal Abyssal Devil's Bloodline]
[Current Life Phase: Second Phase, 1000 Years [Increase the bloodline density 15%]]
[Method of Use: Any Devil with Abyssal Bloodline can eat it directly or Host can also convert it into 100,000 EXP or 10,000 Soul Points]"
Ace's eyes were wide open as he saw the appraisal of the system. He takes a deep breath of cold air.
This information was too much for him to take even with his newfound mentality.
After he calms down Ace begun to consider, 'System called it an ancient herb means it is very rare. But this herb is only useful to a devil with an abyssal bloodline and by the looks of it, this herb can even awake something called Royal Abyssal Bloodline if it reached the sixth phase of its life. But the most important thing is I finally found out that I can convert the herbs in EXP or SP as well!'
The more Ace thinks the more excited he becomes. He finally found another way of gaining experience. It never occurred to him that if he can convert the medicine pills into EXP then the herbs that made those pills can be turned into EXP as well.
A grade one herb was giving him a hundred thousand at once and he can even have a choice to convert it into SP as well. One has to know that he didn't even gain any soul points besides the missions and this was his first time seeing something can be converted into soul points as well.
"If Eva has this abyssal bloodline this herb would've helped her a lot but it's a shame that she's a half-shadow devil." Mutters Ace under his breath. If this herb can be of any use to Eva he would've given it to her without a second thought but it was a pity that it isn't.
He wanted to convert it into SP since they were extremely rare to collect. He has other pills and many medicinal herbs as well so he has more than enough to break through into the next realm.
The reason for his breakthrough delayed was because he has a strange feeling that it was not the right time. He trusts his instinct and didn't convert any pills into EXP for time being.
He was just about to give his command when something rare happened,
"[System has a suggestion related to Blood Rose for the host.]"
Ace was astonished after hearing the system voice and it was not a cold voice like always, "Tell me about it." Said, Ace.
"[Host new thief's space is extremely suitable for any creature or medicinal herb that related to [Darkness]. It can help living creatures awaken their true bloodline in hundreds or thousands of years if they stay inside, it all depends on the creature's true lineage and bloodline density. Or medicinal herbs can be nurtured at high speed inside the thief's space, but the host has to spend Thief Points and this function is currently unavailable.
"[Same goes for that halfling girl, she can also awake her true bloodline in hundred thousand years if she remains inside host's thief's space and even that can help her to reach only sixty percent! She will never be able to reach the true heights of her bloodline. Moreover, she didn't have a lifespan of a hundred thousand years.
"[But with this Blood Rose it changed because it is very rare to mature this kind of herb between heaven and earth. This is a heavenly treasure for any abyssal devil and the abyssal devil didn't exist in the first heavens. The system also didn't know how this rare herb appears here.
"[Host can feed this Blood Rose to that halfling and with 5000 TP seal her inside your living thief's space for twenty to thirty years. Her bloodline is related to shadow and [Shadow] is one of the laws of [Darkness] and Abyssal Bloodline is also related to [Darkness].
"[Normally you cannot combine two bloodlines but with host thief's space and her only half-shadow bloodline it's possible and she can become a rarest 'Shadow Abyssal Devil'. It is an extremely rare species of Devil Clan.
"[This was an option only given to the host because she is bonded to you otherwise the system would not have given this suggestion.]"
Ace was bewildered hearing the system suggestion. He didn't dare to believe what he just heard!
