Binding System

Chapter 178 Getting A New Skill

?

Ace walked toward the stone chair with a curious face. 

'Why is there a stone chair in this place?'

He could understand if it was a place to hide treasure, but he did not know why there was a stone chair in that place.

'Is this chair also a treasure?'

He checked the stone chair carefully.

'No. It's not treasure. It's only a normal chair made of stone.'

Even though he did not ask his system to analyze it, he knew it was only a normal stone chair.

Ace touched his chin and inquired, "Then why did the owner put a stone chair in this place? Isn't that useless?"

There was no button on the stone chair.

There was also no treasure on the chair.

It was only a normal chair made of stone!

So why?

Why did the owner put a stone chair in that place?

Was it as a place to rest?

If it was for a place to rest, then why didn't the owner put a soft bed in that place?

Wasn't a soft bed better than a stone chair? 

[Several divine beings are also curious about this.]

"I was living in modern world until three months ago, so I don't understand the ways of thinking of people from this world." After saying that, he sat on the stone chair.

To his surprise, the stone chair suddenly rotated eighty degrees.

Ace was startled.

But what surprised him most was that a hidden door suddenly opened in front of him.

[Several divine beings are surprised.]

The corner of Ace's lips twitched.

'I should have read more fantasy novel in my previous life.'

He rose to his feet and walked toward the door.

When Ace was standing before the door, he saw a corridor. The corridor was huge, with several torches hanging on the wall.

[God of Wind utters, does that mean there is still more treasure in this place?]

[Several divine beings also suspect that there is still more treasure in this place.] 

Ace was also curious about it, so he walked through the corridor.

*Five Minutes…Ten minutes…fifteen minutes.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, he saw a stone door.

'What a huge stone door!'

He immediately opened the door.

The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face after stepping into a huge room.

'What is this? Is this place underground castle?'

He saw many statues of warriors in that place.

But what caught his eye was the coffin that was behind the warrior statues.

[God of Wind inquires, is this place a king's grave?]

Ace immediately walked toward the coffin because he was curious about it.

To his surprise, two knight statues stopped him.

'What?! The statues are alive?!'

He stopped his footsteps in surprise.

'But how?'

They should not live because they were just statues. 

'System, how did these statues suddenly come to life?' 

[Host, unlike in your previous life, there are many unknown and mysterious things in this world, so you should not be surprised.]

The corner of his lips twitched.

'That doesn't answer my question!'

Of course, he knew about it because he had experienced many mysterious things since he transmigrated into this world.

[Maybe the owner of this place used some kind of magic before he died, and your presence awakened them.] 

When Ace was about to say something to his system, these two puppets attacked him.

However, he could destroy them easily because their powers were only on par with those awakeners at the Novice rank.

[God of Wind utters, they are weak. I'm disappointed.]

[Several divine beings agreed with God of Wind's words.]

Black lines formed on Ace's forehead.

'They really don't care about me. They only want to see interesting fight.'

Of course, he knew they were not on his side, but hearing it directly from them still hurt his heart.

'Well, I don't care.'

He said in his head.

When Ace was about to walk toward the coffin again, three statues stopped him. Like before, he could destroy them easily. 

Even though they ganged up on him, their power was only on par with Novice rank, so they were nothing to him. 

Ace sighed when four warrior statues stopped him. "Don't tell me. I have to destroy all of them?"

There were about a hundred warrior statues in that place.

If he had to fight them one by one, it would take a long time to destroy them all. He did not want to waste time because he had to find Lieutenant Valeria.

'Then I will destroy them with a single attack!' 

He immediately raised his right hand forward.

'Great Lightning Dragon.'

He decided to use his strongest magic because, with this, he could destroy them in one move.

They were only at Novice rank, so he believed his magic could destroy them instantly.

*Roar…

As usual, the lightning dragon roared before attacking all the statues.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of his magic destroying the statues reverberated in the entire area.

Ace, who was looking at his lightning dragon, crossed his arms over his chest. "I used my strongest magic to destroy them. I hope I will get something good later."

'Mm?'

To his surprise, one of them survived.

The puppet immediately ran toward him while thrusting its spear forward, wanting to stab Ace's heart.

Ace raised his left hand forward. "Earth Shield."

Boom!

The shockwave spread throughout the area as the puppet's spear hit Ace's shield.

Ace did not stay still and instantly created two ice clones.

These two ice clones appeared on both sides of the puppet.

*Slash…Slash…

His two clones attacked the puppet at the same time. 

The puppet's left hand got destroyed because it could not block their attacks. 

Just as the puppet was about to jump back, it was entangled by Ace's Ice Chain magic. 

"Where are you going?" Ace asked before finally looking at his clones. "Destroy it!"

His two clones immediately attacked the puppet again. 

Ace thought the puppet would get destroyed in no time, but he was wrong, as it lasted for seven minutes before his clones finally managed to destroy it.

He looked at the puppet before finally speaking, "It's finally over."

As Ace was walking toward the coffin, his two clones melted into water.

'It seems like this place is really a king's grave.'

He saw a skeleton wearing a crown inside the coffin.

'Skill book?'

His face broke into a smile when he saw a skill book in the skeleton's hands.

'I hope it's a good skill book.'

Without waiting for another second, he took the skill book.

"Yin Yang Dragon skill book?" the smile on his face grew bigger when he knew it was a skill book at the Rare rank. 

Yin Yang Dragon skill had three forms.

The first form was to attack the enemy using a single dragon, Yin Dragon, or Yang Dragon.

The second form was to attack the enemy using two dragons; Yin and Yang dragons.

And the last form was to attack the enemy using the combination of Yin and Yang dragons.

In the third form, Yin and Yang dragons would merge and create a huge dragon. In this final form, attack power would no longer be at the Rare rank but at the Unique rank.

Yes, the power of Yin and Yang dragons increased drastically after merging!

However, it was very hard to master the final form.

Most people, who learned this skill, only managed to master up to the second form. Only a few people could master the last form because they needed great talent to master it.

Of course, Ace was different.

He had a system, so he could master it instantly.

All he needed to do was take the book, and his system would do the rest.

This was the reason why happiness streaked through him like a comet when he found that skill book.

[Host has discovered Yin Yang Dragon skill book. Do you want to learn it?]

"Yes." He wanted to learn it immediately.

Memories relating to the Yin Yang Dragon skill suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt as if he had mastered the Yin Yang Dragon skill for a long time.

'It's a pity that I have destroyed all the puppets.'

He wanted to use his new skill immediately.

'Well, I will hunt magical beast now.'

With that idea in mind, he got out of the underground castle.

"Where are they?" it had been fifteen minutes since he had searched for magical beasts in the forest, but he had found none.

Ace immediately stopped flying and landed on the ground.

'Then I will use these trees as my target.'

He decided to use the trees as his target. 

At the same time, a young elf was being bullied by two young men. 

The name of the young elf was Neia. Neia was a cute elf with shoulder-length hair. Her blue eyes matched perfectly with her green hair.

Anyone, who saw her, would desire to hug her immediately because she was so cute. 

Actually, this was the reason why these two young men harassed her because she was too cute.

"Tch!" Neia wiped off the blood on the corner of her lips.

"Just follow us. Don't try to fight us again. We will give you immense pleasure later." The red-haired man uttered.

"That's right. Haha." The blue-haired man added.

"Dream on!" Neia stated.

"Then we have no choice but to force you to follow us." The red-haired man uttered.

When these two young men walked closer to Neia, a black dragon flew at them from their right side.

Because they were focused on Neia, they did not notice it.

Boom!

These two young men were thrown several meters before finally crashing against a tree.

Neia was startled and turned her head in the direction the black dragon had come from.

'A young man?'

She was shocked when she saw Ace.

Ace was also startled.

'What?! There are people in this place?!'

Yes, he didn't mean to help her.

He only wanted to test his new skill.
