Binding System

Chapter 173 It’s Him!

?

The following day, Ace led his group to hunt magical beasts again. Unlike yesterday, everything was under his control this time.

Even though group C was injured, they were thrilled because they killed more magical beasts this time.

They even got twenty-five beast cores. This was the reason why they returned to the camp with smiles on their faces.

"Ace, tomorrow is your turn to protect our camp." Scarlett spoke abruptly.

Scarlett and Ace were currently lying on the folding bed. Like yesterday, she called him to her tent after they had dinner together.

Of course, her subordinates still did not know anything because Ace used his Ice Clone magic to pretend to be him.

No!

Actually, four of her subordinates knew about this.

These four subordinates were guarding her tent, so they knew what was going on. However, Scarlett and Ace did not care because they were her bodyguards.

Yes, these four people were the ones who guarded her house every day, so they knew what Scarlett and Ace had done until now!

Of course, they would not tell anyone about it because they were loyal to her.

This was the reason why they could become her bodyguards because they were skilled and trusted.

"Ah, you are right." He forgot about it earlier. 

"Your group only have ten people. I will lend ten people from my group to help you protect the camp tomorrow." It was not enough to protect the camp with ten people, so she wanted to help him by lending ten people from her group.

Her group had thirty people, so lending him ten people was not a big deal. Instead, it would make her job as a protector easier because she would protect less people.

"Thank you." He accepted it immediately because he needed more people to protect their camp. "Let's sleep now because you will lead your group to hunt magical beasts tomorrow."

Scarlett immediately kissed his lips. "Good night, Ace."

"Good night, my beautiful lover." He smiled softly.

Shortly after that, they slept.

The following morning, they prepared everything after waking up.

Like what they had discussed last night, Scarlett ordered ten people from her group to help Ace protect their camp.

Among these ten people, three of them were females, while the rest were males.

"Ace, use the communication token if everything is out of your control." Even though no magical beasts had attacked their camp in the last two days, she still told him to be careful because they were in a dangerous place.

"Alright." He nodded his head.

Scarlett returned her attention to her group and uttered, "Let's go hunt magical beasts now."

"Let's hunt magical beasts!" her subordinates shouted in unison.

Shortly after Scarlett's group left, Lieutenant Valeria also led her group to hunt magical beasts.

"It seems like today will be a boring day." Ace stated.

He was currently sitting on a tree branch.

After ordering Scarlett's subordinates to patrol around the camp, he decided to watch over the camp from a tree.

That was why he was sitting on a tree branch.

[God of Lust utters, how about you drag the females from your group to the tent and have some fun with them there?]

"Hey, I'm not that kind of person, so stop suggesting bad ideas like that." He responded as he watched over the camp from the tree.

[God of Lust laughs after hearing your words.]

[God of Lust finds it funny because you do adult things with city mistress every single day.]

"Ehm!" Ace could not deny it because what God of Lust said was the truth. "Let's stop talking about this."

[God of Lust laughs again after seeing your expression.]

[Wind God utters, can you tell us about you in your previous world?] 

[Several divine beings are also curious about it.]

"Why do you want to know me?" he inquired. 

[God of Wind utters, a mysterious power is blocking us from seeing your previous life, so we are curious about you.]

'Mysterious power?'

Even though Ace was shocked, he did not show it on his face.

"Because you are curious about me, then I will grant your wish. But first, I will let you know how amazing my grandpa is…." Ace started to brag about his grandpa's greatness.

As Ace was talking with divine beings, group C and the others guarded the camp. Of course, they did not know what he was doing.

Otherwise, they would think of him as a crazy person because he looked like a person talking to himself.

After talking for more than an hour, he was thirsty because he kept talking. "Let's stop here for today."

When he knew the supply of drinking water was almost running out, he decided to find water.

"You guys wait here. I want to bring some water for us." Ace stated.

"Protector, let me accompany you." Mike wanted to help Ace.

"It's fine." Ace refused instantly. "There is a river in the south; I will go there to bring some water for us."

"Alright." Mike responded.

Ace wasted no time and immediately headed to the river.

At the same time, Lala and Lily were walking around the river. Of course, they did not know that Ace was heading to the river.

"Sigh!" Lala sighed. "It has been three days since we looked for him, but we still haven't found him. Should we just cancel this mission?"

"What are you talking about?" Lily responded, "Just be patient." 

"But I dislike staying in the forest." Lala kept complaining. "I want to rest on my soft bed."

"Just be patient." Lily repeated her words.

Of course, she understood her sister's feelings.

Actually, she also disliked staying in the forest because she could not sleep on her comfortable bed.

However, they had accepted the mission, so they had to finish it, or it could later ruin their reputation.

"Aghh… I really want to sle-" Lala stopped her words halfway when she saw Ace.

Like Lala, Lily was also shocked and stopped her footsteps.

They had been looking for him for three days, but just as they were about to rest by the river, their target suddenly appeared before them. 

'It's him!'

Lala and Lily exchanged a glance with each other.

Ace, who was in front of them, stopped walking.

He stopped walking because Lala and Lily suddenly stopped their footsteps.

'Two girls?'

Of course, he had no idea that Lily and Lala wanted to kill him.

"Do yo-" Ace immediately retrieved his Phoenix sword when Lala and Lily suddenly rushed toward him.

Even though they had not said a single word to him, he knew that they had bad intentions because he could feel their killing intent.

"We found the target!" Lala and Lily rushed toward him happily.

Their target was before them, so they would not let him run away because they wanted to finish the mission immediately.

"Flame Arrow!" Lala used her skill to attack Ace.

Ace instantly raised his left hand forward.

'Earth Shield!'

A big Earth Shield suddenly appeared before him, blocking the flame arrow. 

But when he was about to attack Lala, Lily appeared on his right side.

"Lightning Thrust." blue lightning shot from the tip of Lily's golden spear, flying towards Ace's chest.

He immediately used Lightning Move to avoid the attack.

'System, analyze their strength.'

'They are strong!' 

Until now, all his opponents didn't have stats as high as theirs.

And from their reactions and the way they fought, he was sure that they had a lot of experience fighting.

[God of Wind utters, oh, an unexpected turn of events? I like it!]

Several divine beings liked the unexpected turn of events because they loved the fighting scenes.

Of course, the God of Lust and the God of Harem were different because they preferred him to spend time with his girlfriend instead of fighting enemies.

In their eyes, fighting was boring. 

It was worthless!

If they had to fight, they had to fight in bed because it gave them pleasure.

Of course, their opponents had to be women because they were not gay.

They were straight.

They liked women.

That was why they liked it when Ace spent time with Scarlett.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?" Ace asked as he attacked Lily and Lala.

"You don't need to know about it!" Lily responded instantly.

"Yes. You don't need to know about it." Lala repeated Lily's words.

"Did Henry hire you guys to kill me?" he suspected Henry was related to them because he had no other enemies besides Henry.

Like before, Lala and Lily did not answer his question and kept attacking him.

"It seems like I have to beat them up first before interrogating them." He mused.

'Then I will attack them seriously now.'

He added in his mind.

As Ace was fighting against Lala and Lily, Mike stood in the middle of the camp.

'It seems like today will be another good day.'

He smiled softly as he looked at the blue sky.

However, the smile on his face disappeared instantly when he heard a loud sound.

'What is that?'

He turned his head toward the source of the sound.

'The sound came from the direction of the river? Is someone fighting over there?' 

He suddenly remembered Ace.

'Protector is in the river right now. Is he fighting someone?'

He immediately rushed to check it.
