The Judgment Field flickered like a dying flame as Damien’s expression became visibly pale, and unwillingness clouded his face. He knew he had wasted too much time, and despite all his efforts, Ace had fled, and he had made a terrible enemy.
Thinking of the enemy, a hint of killing intent flashed past his eyes, as he looked towards the Prosperity Matriarch’s direction. Since the enmity was formed, and now that she was utterly helpless, he wanted to get rid of her.
But to his surprise, the Prosperity Matriarch’s falling figure was nowhere to be found.
’That sow ran away!? Or did someone help her!?’ Damien’s expression was filled with fury at this moment. All of this happened because the Prosperity Matriarch interfered too much and even forced him to waste the Judgment Field on her, and now she had escaped again.
Nonetheless, Damien was well aware of his current condition, and he was utterly exhausted right now. Not only did he fail to obstruct the Sky Stealer, he even lost an essential treasure to him, and then was forced to establish a hostile relationship with the PHW King Sect.
With a face full of unwillingness and hatred, he takes out an ash white bead filled with golden runes, and after glancing at his silent surroundings, he gritted his teeth and crushed it.
The next moment, Damien vanished from the PHW King Sect. he had fled after failing his objective terribly, and he knew he needed to change his plans again after his first encounter with his mortal enemy.
Even if he wanted to stay and turn everything upside down, he didn’t have the ability, and he couldn’t defend himself anymore because of using the Judgment Field.
Furthermore, deep down, Damien was wary of Sky Stealer and thought he might be lurking somewhere, and since he couldn’t detect him, this put him in a dangerous situation. That’s why he decided to be decisive and leave while everything was in chaos.
Nonetheless, he had already engraved Ace’s image in his heart, and he wouldn’t let him live in peace. Even if ’Ace’ had no connection with the Sky Stealer, just the matter regarding Ace’s ’immunity’ against his heritage was enough to make him a potential danger that needed to be dealt with as swiftly as possible.
Lastly, Damien had too many questions related to this encounter with Sky Stealer, and he wanted answers, especially regarding the failure of his counter abilities against Sky Stealer or how the latter achieved it.
At this moment, close to Damien’s last location, under a destroyed pavilion, a transparent figure, completely merged in the surroundings, had just witnessed the scene of Damien pulling the talisman and teleporting away in haste.
A hint of regret flashed past this person’s eyes, ’If I had known he would be this vulnerable after going against the Prosperity Matriarch, I wouldn’t have left so quickly. This might be my only chance to get rid of the Heaven’s Advocate...’
Ace’s avatar muttered in a rueful tone before he smiled wryly as he knew even if Damien was completely defenseless and exhausted, it wouldn’t be this easy to kill him. After all, since he was chosen to oppose him, he won’t die without a fierce struggle, just like Ace himself.
Nonetheless, this time Ace had learned quite a lot about his enemy, and he had to admit it was worrisome, to say the least. However, Ace also made a significant discovery.
’He can’t do anything to my Avatar of Holy Twilight!’ Ace’s eyes shone with disbelief and ecstasy.
Although he wasn’t sure about this possibility, he had witnessed how badly Damien wanted to detain or even kill his avatar towards the end. But the strange thing was, despite his determination, he went for the Prosperity Matriarch.
This was very strange because if he had really suspected Ace of working with his enemy, the person he would have attacked should have been Ace. Yet he still went ahead and clashed with the Prosperity Matriarch.
Ace knew Damien’s abilities were beyond anything that Prosperity Matriarch could stop, and if he had targeted him, she might not be able to do anything to prevent that ability.
Ace wasn’t stupid, and with his thievish mind and experience, he reached the conclusion that ever since Damien had activated the Eye of Heaven, he had been paying close attention to his avatar and even wanted to compel the Prosperity Matriarch to hand him over or eliminate him.
Afterward, Damien used two more abilities, but nothing happened to his avatar. Finally, Damien’s suicidal gamble against the Prosperity Matriarch made Ace even more sure that Damien’s abilities seemed not to affect the Avatar of Holy Twilight.
As for why, Ace wasn’t sure himself, the Avatar of Holy Twilight was extremely special and had been born from the mysterious page of B.E.L.L. This avatar was heaven-defying in nature and bestowed upon him terrifying divine talents, making it like his second body.
If the Heaven’s Advocate was helpless against his Avatar of Holy Twilight, then it could be his biggest reliance against Heaven and its minions. Not only that, but he had already fooled the Heaven’s Advocate with the Avatar of Holy Twilight by stealing right under his nose.
With newfound information, Ace was ecstatic as he looked at the Prosperity Sky Division, which was now in shambles, and he knew Damien’s life wouldn’t be easy anymore since he had provoked the entire PHW King Sect.
At this moment, Ace’s avatar suddenly blurred for a moment before Ace’s transparent body became visible again. However, this time, ’Ace’ seemed different, but no one would be able to tell.
Without hesitation, Ace’s eyes shone with a thievish glint as he shifted his focus towards the east, where the currently destroyed Prosperity Law Hall was located.
’Should I ’visit’ the Treasury Hall? After all, the entire sect is now in a mess, and the Prosperity Elders are sent away to placate the chaos. The Prosperity Matriarch has fled and is probably hiding now, while that annoying guy has also escaped...’
The more Ace thought about this current situation, the more his heart raced in excitement, as he knew this was a huge opportunity. An opportunity to ’clean’ the treasury of the wealthiest sect of the Mortal Ascension Heaven!
