Binding System

[Several gods are excited about what will happen.]

[Greed says, is it the time to rob their money?]

[Ten evil beings utter, take all their stuff. Don't leave anything for them.]

At this moment, Tom and the others still did not realize Ace was luring them to a deserted place.

'Good, good!'

They were pleased when Ace headed to a quiet place because, with this, no one would see what they would do to him.

No!

Actually, they didn't care even if someone saw them because everyone, who visited Wynn trading house, knew that they had enmity with Ace.

[God of Wind says, look at them. They even don't notice that they are being lured to a deserted place.]

[Greed says, it seems like there is nothing inside their heads.]

[God of Sea is amazed by your braveness.]

After he reached the open area, Ace stopped his footsteps and uttered, "You guys have been following us since we left the Wynn trading house. Why don't you come out now?"

Tom and the others came out of their hiding places because Ace had noticed them.

"Young man, you are a fool for walking into such a deserted place. You snatched Lightning Move skill book from us, so you should have known that we would follow you." In Robert's eyes, Ace was a fool.

He then continued, "But instead of running away secretly, you walked on the streets without trying to cover your face. You even went to a deserted place. Haha. What a fool!"

Ace turned around to face them.

Like before, he acted calmly as if he knew nothing bad would happen to him.

"Young man, if you give the Lightning Move skill book to us, we won't beat you and will leave immediately." Tom added. "Not only that, but we will forget everything too."

"Give us the Frost Arrow skill book too." Teo and Ben spoke in unison.

Teo and Ben were twins. They competed with Ace over the Frost Arrow skill book earlier.

"Give me the Great Lightning Dragon spell book." Billy spoke abruptly. "I will also leave immediately if you give me that spell book."

Aiden and Mario did not say anything because they were Billy's brothers. They only wanted to help Billy get the Great Lightning Dragon spell book.

Even though Teo, Ben, Billy, Aiden, and Mario were awakeners at the Elite rank, but they almost broke through to the Master rank.

If the five of them fought against an awakener at the Master rank, it was hard to tell who would win the fight because they were strong.

"Young man, I suggest you accept our request because you and your women will die in this place if you refuse." Tom believed they could kill Ace and his women.

"Funny!" Ace responded calmly. "The three of us are at Master rank, while you only have two awakeners at Master rank and the rest are at Elite rank. What makes you think you can kill us?"

"Even though we are only at the Elite rank, but we are powerful awakeners." Teo and Ben spoke in unison.

"That's right." Aiden and Mario added.

"Young man, I suggest that you give me the Great Lightning Dragon spell book now." Billy uttered, "Even if you manage to escape from us later, you won't be able to master it."

He then continued, "Then wouldn't it be better to just give me that spell book instead? With this, not only can you avoid death, but it can also save you from wasting time."

"What makes you think I won't be able to master this spell book?" even though Ace disliked Billy's words, but he could control his emotions. "What if I can master this spell book later?"

"Young man, the Great Lightning Dragon is Tier 5 magic. Not everyone can master this spell book. Do you think mastering Tier 5 magic is easy? Funny!" Billy found Ace's words funny.

'Tch, tch, tch! Youngsters nowadays are really overestimating themselves.'

He added in his head.

"It's only Tier 5 magic. What's so difficult about it?" Ace had a system, so he could master the Great Lightning Dragon magic instantly.

"Only Tier 5 magic? Haha." Billy could not help but laugh. "I admit you are not bad since you are an awakener at the Master rank, but you are still young. Mastering Tier 5 magic is difficult and not everyone can do that."

"As you already know, I'm an awakener at the Master rank, so you should realize that I'm different than most people because I can break through to the Master rank at such a young age." Ace responded calmly.

He then continued, "What about you, Mister? You are already sixty years old, but still at the Elite rank. I think you should forget about this Great Lightning Dragon spell book because this spell book will be a waste in your hands."

Billy gritted his teeth, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was furious.

He was enraged because Ace dared to insult him.

At this moment, Layla had retrieved her sword from her space ring while Scarlett was ready to fire her arrow.

[Greed inquires, why do you bother talking to them? Just kill them and take their space rings. Talking with them is only wasting your time.]

[Three evil beings agreed with Greed.]

"Billy, let's just attack him!" Aiden disliked Ace's behavior, so he wanted to beat Ace immediately.

"Aiden is right. Let's just attack him!" Mario added.

"We agreed." Teo and Ben said in unison.

Billy took his staff out of his space ring and roared, "Attack him!"

Teo and Ben immediately fired their arrows at Ace, while Aiden and Mario used their spears to attack him.

Five versus one!

Even though he was ganging up by five people, Ace still acted normally.

"Layla, let's attack them!" Scarlett wanted to attack the Hudson family's subordinates because they were Ace's enemies.

"Shouldn't we help Ace?" Layla inquired.

"He will be fine." Scarlett believed Ace could defeat Billy and the others because they were only at Elite rank.

"Alright." After saying that, Layla rushed toward Tom.

"Poison Arrow."

"Vicious Arrow."

"Blaze Slash."

"Blasting Cyclone."

"Earth spike."

Billy and the others used their skill and magic to attack Ace.

Even though they attacked Ace continuously, he could avoid their attacks easily. He even leaped to the left and right with a calm face, as if he was being attacked by children.

'Now it's time to counterattack!'

With that idea in mind, Ace retrieved his Phoenix sword from his space ring.

Billy and the others were stunned.

'What?! Sword?'

They believed Ace was a mage, so they were shocked when he suddenly took a sword out of his space ring.

'Is he a Rheanix?'

That was the question that appeared in their minds.

"It's unfair for me to fight five people, so let me call in reinforcements." After saying that, Ace used his Ice Clone magic, creating four clones.

All of his clones were holding a sword because he was holding a sword.

Of course, the strength of the sword was not like the real Phoenix sword because it was only a clone.

"Now it's five versus five." After saying that, Ace and his clones attacked Billy and the others.

Even though they were facing Ace's clone, Teo, Ben, Mario, and Aiden were having a hard time.

After attacking Billy three times, Ace stored his sword in his space ring and took out the Great Lightning Dragon spell book.

[Ding! Host has discovered the Great Lightning Dragon spell book. Do you want to learn it?]

Ace did not answer immediately; instead, he looked at Billy. "Mister, you previously said I would not be able to master this spell book, right?"

"That's right! The Great Lightning Dragon is Tier 5 magic. There is no way you can master it." Billy still believed Ace would not be able to master the Great Lightning Dragon magic because Ace was still young and inexperienced in his eyes.

"Then open your eyes widely." Ace responded.

'System, I want to learn this magic.'

He added in his mind.

Memories relating to the Great Lightning Dragon magic suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt as if he had mastered Great Lightning Dragon magic for a long time.

Billy looked at Ace mockingly when Ace only skimmed the spell book.

'Does he think he can master Tier 5 magic by skimming through the spell book?'

He could not wait to make fun of him.

"Mister, don't close your eyes. I will let you see the difference between us." After saying that, Ace used Great Lightning Dragon magic. "Great Lightning Dragon!"

Black clouds suddenly gathered above them, and the afternoon felt like evening. Tom and the others instantly stopped fighting and lifted their heads toward the sky.

The expression of deep shock blossomed on their faces when they saw the sun and the blue sky were covered by black clouds.

'What is this? Is this magic? What kind of magic is this?'

They only saw the black clouds, but dread gnawed at their insides because their minds told them that something terrifying would come out of these black clouds.

Like Tom, Billy was also stunned.

'What is this? Had he really managed to master the Great Lightning Dragon magic in just a few seconds? But didn't he only skim through the spell book earlier?'

Countless questions appeared in their minds.

Sure, he admitted Ace's achievement was not bad because he could break through to the Master rank at such a young age, but mastering Tier 5 magic in just a few seconds was impossible.

He had never heard of someone successfully doing it before!

And Ace only skimmed through the spell book earlier, so he should not have managed to master that magic.

'No! This is impossible! This is not real! This is not real!'

He could not believe it.

He did not want to believe it.

It was a dream!

It was a hallucination!

"Mister, this is the difference between you and me." Ace stated.
