Binding System

Ace was currently standing before his grandpa, someone who he admired and loved so much.

'I'm sorry, grandpa.'

He raised his sword, ready to stab his grandfather's heart.

"Little Ming, you have to stay strong if you want to be like me." Xiao Tian smiled softly. "The road to becoming the ruler is filled with danger and trouble."

He then continued, "You won't be able to achieve your dream if you are still like this. You have grown up, so you should be able to make the right decision. Remember, indecision is not good and can put you in danger."

"Grandpa…" Ace suddenly felt the person before him was his real grandpa because his grandfather always guided him and gave advice.

"Don't waver again when in a situation like this because it could be fatal for you." Xiao Tian kept giving his grandson advice.

The system was shocked.

Xiao Tian should not give Ace some advice because he was not the real Xiao Tian. This was the reason why the system was startled.

"I understand, grandpa." Ace responded as he nodded his head. "I won't waver again if I face the same situation."

Xiao Tian smiled softly. "Good. My grandson should be like this. Remember. Whatever happens, don't ever give up on your dream. I believe you can become like me because you are my grandson."

Xiao Tian's body shattered into pieces after saying that.

The magical beast was shocked.

'What? He broke my illusion?!'

He didn't expect Ace to break his illusion.

And what surprised him most was that Ace broke his illusion quickly. Something like this had never happened before.

The tiny magical beast in Ace's arms immediately jumped to the ground. The magical beast knew Ace had broken his illusion, so it was ready to fight him.

"Human, I didn't expect you to break my illusion." the small and cute magical beast suddenly turned into a big and scary magical beast.

Its body was no longer round. He had a cat head, rabbit ears, and a wolf's body. He was no longer a cute magical beast like before.

Ace unsheathed his sword.

'System, analyze that magical beast.'

The system instantly analyzed the magical beast.

"Ice Clone." Ace made seven ice clones before giving his bow and arrows to one of his clones.

'I have to defeat this magical beast fast or else Scarlett will be in danger later.'

He looked at one of his clones.

His clone nodded his head before running toward Scarlett.

His intention was clear.

He would help Scarlett to break the magical beast's illusion!

"Haha." The magical beast did not stop his clone. "It's useless! Your clone won't be able to help her. She can only rely on herself if she wants to break my illusion. Unless you can kill me. Haha."

[God of Sea says, this magical beast is stupid.]

[The Great Sage, The Equal of Heaven nods his head.]

'Yes. He is stupid.'

Ace agreed.

"Ah, shit!" the magical beast realized what he had just said.

"Your illusion? Does that mean the magical beast in her arms is your clone?" Ace was trying to dig up information.

"No. He is a part of me. He has quarter of my power." The magical beast gave an honest answer.

"How about you?" he threw another question.

"My strength is only seventy-five percent now." The magical beast responded instantly.

'Damn it! Why did I answer his question honestly?'

He slipped his tongue.

[Several divine beings are amazed at his stupidity.]

[God of Wind slaps his forehead, shaking his head.]

"Human, I'm not stupid. I'm smart, very smart. I'm the smartest magical beast in this Death Valley." After saying that, the magical beast attacked Ace.

Ace and his two clones rushed towards the magical beast while his other clones jumped back, putting some distance between them.

"Die!" the magical beast attacked Ace's clone.

The magical beast was already at 3-star, so one attack was enough to destroy Ace's clone.

"Ice Chain." One of Ace's clones used magic to bind the magical beast.

"Haha." The magical beast laughed happily after killing one of Ace's clones.

However, his smile froze when he saw a huge magic circle under his feet.

'Danger!'

He tried to jump, but it was already too late because two ice chains had wrapped around his body, causing him to be unable to move.

"Thunderbolt!" Ace's other clone attacked the magical beast using magic.

*Shui…

Not only that, but his other clone also shot an arrow at the magical beast.

"Aghhh!" the magical beast cried out in pain when a blue thunderbolt hit its body.

He was furious.

​ He was enraged because Ace's clones managed to land attacks on his body.

"Human, I will kill you!" the anger within him grew bigger when an arrow hit his neck.

At this moment, the real Ace was already in front of the magical beast, standing in an Iai stance.

'Moon style sword of drawing techniques- fifth form: one hundred deadly slashes.'

He decided to use his secret technique because he wanted to kill the magical beast as fast as possible.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

Ace was already at master rank, so his secret technique was much more deadly now.

"Aghh…" blood came out of its body.

The magical beast was furious. He broke the ice chains and attacked Ace's clones one by one.

Ace did not stay still when he saw his clones getting destroyed by the magical beast. He jumped onto the magical beast's body and raised his sword, ready to attack it.

"Aghh." The magical beast cried out in pain when Ace stabbed its body. "Humannnnn."

Ace immediately jumped back, putting some distance between them. At this moment, all his clones had been destroyed by that magical beast.

"Ice Clone." He made three ice clones.

However, something unexpected happened when he was about to attack the magical beast again.

The magical beast ran away!

He no longer wanted to fight Ace!

The magical beast knew what would happen to him if he kept fighting Ace, so he chose to run away.

Ace was shocked.

'Eh?! What?! He ran away?!'

He was dumbfounded.

Previously, he thought their fight would not end until one of them died, but he was wrong.

"Human, I will remember you." The magical beast shouted as he ran away. "I will kill you when we meet again."

The corner of his lips twitched.

'Damn! You are running away from me but still have the courage to threaten me.'

He was at a loss for words.

"Ace…" Scarlett's voice entered his ears.

He turned his head toward the source of the sound.

'Scarlett?'

He saw her walking toward him with his ice clone.

The magical beast could not maintain his illusion because he was heavily injured and far from her.

At this moment, all of his clones melted into water.

"Ace, did we fall into a magical beast's illusion earlier?" Scarlett inquired.

"Yes." Ace gave an honest answer.

"Where is that magical beast now?" she threw another question.

"He ran away." He replied while pointing in the direction where the magical beast had fled.

"Ran way?" she was shocked after hearing his answer.

"Yes." He nodded his head. "He fled after getting seriously injured."

"I see. Ace, let's find a place to rest." Scarlett wanted to rest.

"Sure." Ace agreed instantly.

Coincidently, there was a cave fifty meters from them. However, the cave was not empty because a green puma was sleeping inside the cave.

Scarlett and Ace attacked the green puma because the puma was only a 2-star magical beast.

"Ace, I want to sleep now." she uttered.

She was currently with Ace in her tent. Like yesterday, Ace made two clones and ordered them to guard the tent.

Scarlett fell asleep shortly after that. Ace also slept because he was also tired. Both of them woke up when the sky grew dark.

"Hehe." They laughed as they ate dinner.

They talked about many things. One thing led to another, and they ended up kissing passionately in front of a bonfire.

Scarlett giggled after breaking the kiss. "Why did you kiss me passionately? Are you trying to seduce me again? No. I mean, are you trying to have your way with me again?"

The corner of his lips twitched after hearing her questions.

'This beautiful MILF always has a perverted mind!'

He shouted in his head.
