‘My first Job mission?!’ Ace was startled when he saw the thief panel and couldn’t help but felt this was not good at all.

Because he clearly saw, that both his fame and thief rank requirements were completed, but the system didn’t release the rewards, which meant this was probably related to this Job Mission.

If he still wasn’t familiarized with the system’s ways of doing things, then all his hardships were in vain.

Nonetheless, he knew he had to complete this Job Mission, or he could forget about raising his thief rank or getting the symbol summoning ability, which he was looking forward to all these years.

“Open the Job Mission!” Ace commanded.

Ace was looking at the Job Mission with disbelief at this moment. He never thought the system would give him such a mission, which involved stealing someone’s memory, that he never even imagined being possible.

Although he can easily absorb someone’s entire memory with a long soul probe, he never thought about stealing them because he even considered it doable.

Now, the system suddenly issued a job mission that seemed quite easy, but it wasn’t with all those requirements attached to it, and he had to find a way himself to steal someone’s memory, so they can forget it afterward.

Just this requirement alone was enough for Ace to pull his hair in frustration.

However, the rewards of completing this job mission were just as tempting as its complexity.

Just the art of mind stealing which might open a new path for the thief for him was enough to give him enough motivation to complete this mission, not to talk about Thief Symbol Summoning and a new thief title that will greatly boost his strength.

‘Although this mission sounds complex, it isn’t if I consider it. The system had already given me a hint about the soul probe. It seemed I’m not using this ability to its fullest potential.

‘System even hinted about I can even probe an important memory with a single try, which means there’s still more to learn about soul probe. I should also focus on learning this aspect of soul probing first before thinking about stealing something incorporeal, like a memory.’

Ace knew this job mission was not like his previous missions, where he had to steal from someone using any method. This job mission was more like a test to check his capabilities if he was worthy of stepping into the ranks of the intermediate thief.

Moreover, this job mission also revealed a dangerous flaw in Ace, which was his narrow thinking about the path of a thief and underestimating his own innate abilities.

This also made Ace reevaluate his previous innate abilities again. He was forced to think that he wasn’t using them to their full potential.

‘Sigh… just when I thought I’m becoming strong, this black-hearted system always put me in my place with a single freaking mission. Heh…’ Ace smiled wryly as he lamented.

However, inwardly, he was happy that the system has given him such a mission and given him a new understanding of Heaven’s Stealer’s abilities, and he knew he doesn’t even have one percent true abilities of a Heaven’s Stealer.

Such a grand name was enough to tell anyone just what kind of existence Heaven’s Stealer was!

‘Oh, I almost forgot about my High-level thievery reward, the Heavenly Talisman!’

Previously, Ace didn’t have time to check the Heavenly Talisman which he got from the system amid that chaos, and he was also busy escaping.

Ace quickly send his soul sense into his thief’s space and saw a new pitch-black talisman coin lying with all other pentagon talisman coins.

However, this new pitch-black talisman coin wasn’t a pentagon, but a pentagram filled with tiny symbols, and in the center of this black pentagram talisman coin was Ace’s thief symbol.

This was the Heavenly Talisman Coin, which the system rewarded him.

“System, tell me what kind of Heavenly Talisman is this?” Ace quickly asked.

=====

[Heavenly Talisman: Instant Flash Teleportation (Grade-7)]

[Use: One Time]

[Effect: Instantly Teleport anywhere within Ten Thousand Mile Radius from the activation position.]

======

Ace was momentarily shocked before a wide smile bloomed on his face.

‘This is a degraded version of Life Coin but not as absurd as Life Coin and I can even use it anytime I want, and I won’t be teleported into another continent this time.’

This Instant Flash Teleportation Talisman was now Ace’s biggest trump card, which will guarantee his life, and he doesn’t have to be on the brink of death to use it as well.

However, this doesn’t mean this heavenly talisman didn’t have limitations. Although the range of this talisman wasn’t as absurd as the Life Coin, it was still random, and who knows he might get into a more dangerous situation than he escaped from?

That’s why Ace can’t use it just on a whim, and he will only use it if he had no other choice than to use it.

After he was done with the Heavenly Talisman, his focus turned to another side of the thief’s space.

There lay a dark blue square token-like crystal. It was five inches in diameter, and it was completely ordinary without any scratch or writing, just like a crystal jade.

However, Ace knew this was his biggest gain of this entire trip, the Item Upgrade Token!

“System, how should I use this item upgrade token?” asked Ace.

“[The host just needs to tell the system which item the host wanted to upgrade, and the system will immediately start the process.]”

‘Simple enough.’ Ace nodded in understanding, ‘But on which item I should use it? I wanted to upgrade the invisible bead, but now that I have the Instant Flash Teleportation Heavenly Talisman, I didn’t need to waste it. Then which item is more important than Invisible Bead?’

Ace mulled over it for a while and in the end, he wasn’t able to decide on which item he should use this item upgrade token, so he simply decided to put this matter aside for now and save the item upgrade token for now.

He didn’t need any item which he wanted to upgrade right now, so he thought it would be better to save it and if he fell into some difficult position, he’ll use it at that time.

After Ace was done sorting his gains, he quickly focused on his training again.

As for the job mission, he knew he needed some guinea pigs to experiment with his soul probe, and he had to go outside for this. But he knew going outside right now would be akin to committing suicide because he knew those two-soul realm experts will be desperately searching for him right at this moment.

Especially Henrik, whose face was now ruined by him, and it was even witnessed by thousands of bystanders.

That’s why Ace wanted to wait a week or two before taking a step outside.

As for asking Noa to become his experiment subject, it would be too impolite to ask her to let him probe her memories, and he won’t do it even if Noa agreed to it either.

In the end, he just concentrated on his skills for now…

However, Ace had no idea ten hours later from now, an emergency meeting has been called in Royal Demon Council’s Branch in Mighty Blade Province. All the high-level members were summoned from other provinces, and even the Blade Demon King was summoned!

It was all just because his thief symbol led to a huge misunderstanding!
