The feather's words were music to Ace's ears, and he couldn't be gladder that he decided to take the risk to subdue this guy. Now he felt like he has all the Sun Secret Realm under his thumb.
Nevertheless, he knew this was all because of Cyrus, and if he was alone, he would've been struggling somewhere in the Sun Realm still and didn't have a way to subdue this feather at all.
If he had gone through with his initial plan, then there was a massive risk involved in it, but now he didn't need to do anything at all, and he was getting everything on a silver platter.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Ace quickly agreed before he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can you also fetch a person for me, senior? Actually, it's a friend who has entered here, and I want to take him out with me."
"Why? I'm sure he can leave once the time is up. Let him explore the Sun Secret Realm. It's very beneficial to young'uns such as yourself." The feather stated.
"I know, but still, I want to have a small chat with him." Ace insisted with a polite smile.
He can't just tell that he is going to destroy the Sun Secret Realm, and once he does, this entire space will be merged back to mostly on the Sun Mountain of the Union. Once that happens, all the youths of the ten continents will be trapped like him in the Union.
He could've cared less about the others, but Thomas was still a friend, so he'll lend a helping hand since it was not a big deal for him at all.
As for Alora, he decided to let her be since she was still a golden fate point, and her fate seemed to be still leading her to her fortuitous opportunity.
"If that's the case, then so be it. But I need time to search for a specific person." The feather agreed in the end since it didn't take much effort on his part.
Ace smiled at this moment as he said, "How can I possibly bother you with this task? I know the location. Just open a way for me, and I'll bring him here."
"Is that so? It seems you were not just lucky to reach this place so effortlessly. You are a person of deep secrets and high luck. I expect nothing less from a person I acknowledge!" The feather sounded extremely proud of itself at this moment.
Ace wanted to scoff at the bragging feather but held back and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, indeed. Now let's quickly wrap this up so we can head back, and then I can focus on becoming the Chosen One!"
"You indeed didn't disappoint the Sun and Moon God's expectation. Tell me where your friend is, and I'll let him enter this place. We indeed can't waste more time when it comes to fulfilling my God's will!" The feather stated solemnly.
Ace then told Cyrus to let the feather use Qi again, but he was still vigilant and let Cyrus keep a close eye on the feather's moves. But the feather seemed to be extremely cooperative, and the strangest thing was its fate point wasn't showing in the fate map either.
Ace mused that it was because the feather couldn't be considered an alive being, but the even more strange part was it also didn't have a treasure fate point which was quite unusual since he could see all the available treasures present in this place.
That was also the reason for his initial confusion about this feather being part of another trial.
Nevertheless, since Cyrus was able to subdue it and everything was going so smoothly, he decided to inquire about this after he was done here.
At this moment, within the first layer of the Sun Secret Realm, a tall, dark robe demon, whose face was hidden under a crimson mask without any eye sockets, was thrusting a long black spear menacingly at a red hair hunter wearing sky blue union robes!
The masked demon had a deep wound on his left shoulder as blood was gushing out of it, yet he didn't seem to be bothered by that ghastly injury. Instead, a strange crimson smoke, giving extremely sinister vibes, was rising from him, and this seemed to be some sort of power boost as he kept getting faster and fiercer the more that smoke oozed from him.
The hunter's complexion was quite pale since he never expected the initially easy fight suddenly turn out to be a deadly battle for him.
"You brute, just what kind of monstrosity are you!" He roared as a fiery aura suddenly exploded from him, and the crimson sword in his hand shimmered before he hacked it down toward the demon's face.
But the demon didn't even react to his words as he swiftly moved his head, and the fiery sword blade only managed to graze his mask, and his spear was already thrusting toward the hunter's heart.
Yet the hunter was also ready, and he suddenly took out a talisman and was about to activate it when his eyes went wide in horror because he felt intense pain on his back before an extremely sharp black blade appeared in front of his chest, dripping in his blood.
The spear also stabbed into his heart at this moment, and he spat a mouthful of blood while he looked at the masked demon in front of him. Then he tried to see the face of the attacker behind him, who ended this battle with a sneak attack that he didn't see coming at all.
But alas, he was already on the verge of death, and when he tried to move his face, a dark streak suddenly flashed past his neck, and the next moment his head was rolling off his neck.
A beautiful face of a demoness was revealed after his head fell as she had this crazy intense expression on her yellowish face with strains of blood on it, and she was holding two dark swords. One was stabbed into the dead hunter's back, while the other used to behead him.
"Good dog!" She giggled with a demonic smile that seemed ghastly and then beautiful as she looked at the masked demon who had just retrieved the spear from the dead hunter's heart and stood straight like a statue without any word whatsoever.
"Tsk, task, you're really just an obedient dog, huh." The demoness snickered disdainfully, and she was about to collect the hunter's staff when a golden swirl suddenly materialized behind the masked demon, which startled her greatly, and the masked demon also became alert.
At this moment, a young man walked out with white hair and devilish features and held a faint smile on his face, "It's been a while, huh, Brother Thomas!"
