Binding System

'Where is he?'

Edward skimmed his surroundings, looking for Ace.

He believed he was behind Ace earlier, but he lost him in just three seconds.

Three fucking seconds!

It should be impossible to lose him in just three seconds, especially in a place where many enemies were around them.

However, he did lose him!

He did not know where Ace was right now!

It was as if Ace could travel through space and time.

'Damn it! Just where is he?'

He skimmed his surroundings as he clenched his fists hard.

Boom!

The sound of two energy slashes clashing reverberated throughout the area.

Edward turned his head toward the source of the sound out of curiosity.

'What?! He is there?!'

He saw Ace fighting Red Ogre seventy meters from him.

'How? How did he get there in just three seconds?'

It should be impossible to move seventy meters in just three seconds, especially when they were on the battlefield, a place where many enemies were around them.

However, Ace did it.

He could move seventy meters in just three seconds!

He even did it when many enemies were around them.

This was the reason why Edward was shocked.

'Forget it. I will just go there.'

When he was about to go to where Ace was, a red ogre rushed toward him, throwing out his right fist.

Edward did not notice this because he was focused on Ace. Actually, there were two reasons why he let his guard down when he was on the battlefield.

First, his subordinates were protecting him, and last, the ogres and goblins around him were only at 1-star and 2-star.

This was the reason why he ignored all the goblins and ogres around him.

"Young lord, behind you!" one of Edward's subordinates shouted.

Edward instantly turned around.

'Ogre?'

He saw Red Ogre rushing toward him.

'What?! He wants to punch me? Then let me test his strength.'

He took one step forward, ready to welcome the ogre with his fist.

'I will show you the difference in strength between us.'

His strength was already at level 39, so he was confident that he would not lose in terms of strength because it could be said his strength was already at the peak of Elite rank.

When the red ogre saw Edward was ready to throw out his punch, he smirked.

"Grrr…" the Red Ogre channeled his energy into his fist and dashed toward Edward bravely.

In less than five seconds, their fists met.

Boom!

Shockwaves spread around them as their fists met.

'How?'

The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face when Edward was sent flying after their fists met.

Yes, he lost!

The Red Ogre was stronger than him!

This was the reason why he was shocked.

'How could I lose in terms of strength?'

The red ogre was only at 2-star, so it should be impossible for him to lose in terms of strength because his strength was already at level 39.

Bang!

Edward fell to the ground.

'How can he be stronger than me?'

He still found it hard to believe what was going on.

He had fought ogres many times in the past, and he had never lost to them even once in terms of strength.

'Is it because of Ace?'

He blamed Ace again because Ace had injured him earlier.

"Grr…" The ogre's lips curled up into a grin.

"Young lord!" Edward's subordinates rushed toward him.

Five of them immediately attacked the ogre. The Red Ogre died in their hands because they were awakeners at Elite rank.

"Young lord, are you alright?" the red-haired man asked as he helped Edward up.

"My body feels weak." Edward responded.

"Weak?" the red-haired man's face turned worried because Henry would kill him if Edward died on the battlefield. "Young lord, let's go to a safe place first."

"No!" Edward refused immediately. "We have to go there!"

When the red-haired man looked in the direction Edward was pointing at, he immediately uttered, "It's dangerous."

"Shut up!" Edward shouted. "Ace is facing a 3-star Ogre, so it's a good opportunity to kill him. Let's go."

His subordinates exchanged glances with each other before finally following Edward.

Like Edward, Sean and four of Henry's subordinates also walked toward Ace. "Follow me. We have to kill Ace."

At the same time, Ace was fighting against Gliorag. With the help of his clones, he had the upper hand in the fight.

He and his clones attacked Gliorag continuously.

"Coward human! Fight me one by one if you dare!" Gliorag's body was full of blood now, especially his legs.

Ace's clones always aimed at his legs because they did not want him to run away.

[02:15]

[02:14]

"This is a fight. You can also use clone if you want." After saying that, Ace and his clones attacked Gliorag again.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

Each of their attacks landed on Gliorag's body.

"Agghhh…" Gliorag smashed the ground with his mace, causing many rocks to fly toward Ace and his clones.

Three of Ace's clones were destroyed when they were hit by Gliorag's attack. Ace wasted no time and created another three clones.

With the blessing of Goddess Teressa and Binding Partner Mode, he only needed a little mana to create a clone.

Yes, he activated binding partner mode earlier because he would use many magic!

[01:59]

[01:58]

When he saw the countdown, he decided to use his strongest magic.

'Let's do it.'

He looked at his clones and nodded his head.

Even though Ace did not say anything, his clones understood what he had in mind.

"Die, human!" Gliorag rushed toward Ace.

Ace used Earth Shield magic to block Gliorag's attack.

'Now!'

He looked at his clones.

Five magic circles suddenly appeared beneath Gliorag's feet.

'Dangerous!'

Before Gliorag could jump back, ten ice chains shot toward him, entangling him.

[01:30]

[01:29]

Ace immediately flew into the sky

'Great Lightning Dragon.'

He raised his right hand high.

Ace decided to use his strongest magic because he believed he could kill Gliorag with it.

One by one, everyone stopped fighting when black clouds suddenly gathered above the battlefield.

"What's going on?"

"Did someone use magic?"

"Why did the sky suddenly darken?"

Of course, they could still see everything because the black clouds did not cover the entire blue sky.

"Hey, look! Someone is floating in the sky!"

"Someone is flying in the sky!"

"Who is that person?"

"It's… it's Ace. That person is Ace!"

"What?! Ace?!"

"How can he fly in the sky?"

Scarlett's people were shocked when they knew Ace was floating in the sky.

Everyone in Nightshire City knew that Ace awakened Knight class, so it should be impossible for him to fly.

At that moment, one word suddenly appeared in their minds.

Rheanix!

Ace was a Rheanix!

He had awakened not only one class, but two classes!

"Ace is a Rheanix?!"

"What?! Ace is Rheanix?"

"Does that mean he is someone who is loved by the heavens?"

"My God! I didn't expect the famous boytoy to be Rheanix."

"I always want to meet a Rheanix until now. I didn't expect that I live in the same city as him."

Rheanix and Aeris were rare, so they failed to hide their surprised faces when they found out that Ace had awakened two classes, especially Scarlett's subordinates.

Captain Noah, who was seeing Ace, smiled softly. "This brat has been giving us a surprise since earlier."

Previously, he surprised them by defeating Edward and Davion in one move. And now, he shocked them again by revealing that he was a Rheanix.

'Just how many secrets does this brat have?'

Captain Noah asked in his head.

"Was this what city mistress meant when she said he was different from him in the past?" Lieutenant Valeria looked at Ace in amazement.

'As I thought, there is no way a hero's son is weak and useless.'

She added in his head.

Henry, who was standing in front of Mokur, widened his eyes in surprise.

'He is a Rheanix?'

He found it hard to believe what he was seeing.

However, the proof was right in front of him.

Ace was floating in the sky!

There was even a pair of beautiful ice wings on his back!

That was why he could not help but believe it.

'Damn it!'

Not only was Ace stronger than he thought, but he was also a Rheanix, someone who was loved by the heavens.

'Fuck!'

At that moment, his hatred for Ace grew bigger.

"How? How can he be a Rheanix?" Edward's pupils were quivering.

Like his father, he was also shocked when he found out that Ace was a Rheanix. Previously, he was also stunned when he learned that Ace was stronger than him.

And now, he found out that Ace was a Rheanix.

The boytoy, who he thought was weak and useless, turned out to be someone loved by the heavens.

He was someone chosen by heaven.

'This is unfair! Heaven is not fair! This world is unfair!'

Due to how shocked he was, he stood like a statue.

A young man standing not far from Edward was also shocked.

Bang!

Sean fell on his butt.

"Haha. Not only is he stronger than me, but he is also a Rheanix." Sean laughed depressingly.

'This world is really unfair to me.'

He added in his head.

Unlike Henry and the others, Scarlett and Layla acted normally because they knew that Xiao Tian was also a mage.

'I wonder what their reaction will be if they find out that Ace is Aeris, not a Rheanix. '

These were the words that appeared in their minds.

When everyone was shocked, Giorag was panicked.

'Am I going to die today?'
