Binding System

As Billy was in a state of shock, the head of the lightning dragon came out of the black clouds.

*ROARRRR…

The roar of the lightning dragon was so powerful, as if it was the roar of a real dragon.

"Scarlett, please tell me it's Ace's magic." Ace's Great Lightning Dragon magic was so huge and scary, to the point Layla was not sure she could block it if the magic was aimed at her.

Even if she could block it, she believed she would be heavily injured after that. That was why she hoped it was Ace's magic.

Scarlett shifted her gaze from the lightning dragon to Ace.

'Is it Ace's magic?'

She knew it was Ace's magic when she noticed that Billy was in a state of shock.

'It's really Ace's magic, but since when did he have a powerful magic like this?'

She knew all his magic and skills.

'Wait!'

She suddenly remembered the Great Lightning Dragon spell book he bought from the Wynn trading house a few minutes ago.

"Layla, it's Ace's magic." Scarlett responded, "It's the Great Lightning Dragon magic he bought from the Wynn trading house."

Of course, Layla knew Ace bought the Great Lightning Dragon spell book because she sat on his left side earlier.

"But didn't he buy it a few minutes ago? How could he possibly master that magic? Didn't we leave the Wynn trading house immediately after the auction was over?" countless questions appeared in Layla's head.

Scarlett was not surprised after hearing Layla's words because she had the same doubts in the past. "Layla, you may find it hard to believe, but Ace can master any skill and magic instantly."

"He can master any skill and magic instantly? Scarlett, stop joking around. It's not funny." Of course, Layla did not believe Scarlett's words because she had never heard of anyone who could master any magic and skill instantly.

Even geniuses needed several days or months to master one skill or magic.

Saying Ace could master any skill and magic instantly was the same as saying he was the creator of all magic and skills.

"I was like you last month. I also could not believe it." Scarlett remembered the time when Ace mastered Earth Shield magic in seconds. "But I'm not lying. I have seen it with my own eyes."

Layla instantly shifted her gaze from Scarlett to Ace.

'Is that true, Ace?'

Of course, she still doubted Scarlett's words.

"Mister, this is the difference between you and me." After Ace said this, the giant lightning dragon came out of the black clouds and rushed toward Billy.

Billy was still in a state of shock, so he did nothing when he saw the lightning dragon rushing toward him.

*ROARRRR…

The giant lightning dragon roared again before finally eating Billy alive.

"Aggghhhh…." A soul-piercing howl of pain reverberated in the entire area.

Billy cried out in pain when the giant lightning dragon ate him alive. Not only that, but his clothes were also torn to pieces, and his body was charred like charcoal.

Bang!

Billy fell to the ground, died.

He was only an awakener at Elite rank, so he died instantly when Ace attacked him with Great Lightning Dragon magic.

'He died?'

Teo, Ben, Mario, and Aiden did not move from their places because they were still shocked by what had just happened.

Because it was a good opportunity to kill them, Ace's clones wasted no time and instantly attacked them.

*Slash…

Ace's clones swung their swords, cutting off their heads.

Tom, Robert, and Lucas came to their senses when they saw Billy's corpse.

'We have to leave this place now!'

They no longer wanted to fight Ace, so they decided to retreat.

However, running away from Ace was not easy because they were blocked by Ace's clones when they wanted to leave.

Now it was three versus three!

Even though their number was the same, but Ace's group had the upper hand because all of them were awakeners at Master rank.

Ace retrieved the Lightning Move skill book from his space ring. "Mister, why do you want to run away? Don't you want this Lightning Move skill book anymore?"

"Tom, let's just fight them!" Robert roared.

"I agreed!" Lucas added.

"Attack them!" Tom shouted.

And like everyone had guessed, the fight ended with the victory of Ace's group.

Several notifications appeared when Ace took their space rings.

[All evil beings like your actions.]

[Five evil beings suggest you join the dark side as it suits your personality perfectly.]

[Greed says, take all their staff. Take their space rings!]

[God of Wind says, you are like a bandit now.]

Layla was shocked when Ace took their space rings.

When Scarlett saw Layla's expression, she immediately spoke, "He has been doing this since we left Nightshire city. He said it's war treasure."

"War treasure? Hehe." Layla giggled. "He is like a bandit now."

"You are right. Hehe." Scarlett agreed with Layla's words.

"Ladies, it's a bad habit of speaking badly behind one's back." Ace walked toward them.

"Ace, do you realize that you are like a bandit now?" Layla inquired.

"Someone will take their space rings if I don't take them, so I decided to take it." After saying that, Ace took two Health potions out of his space ring. "Here, drink it."

Scarlett wasted no time and immediately drank the Health Potion.

Unlike Scarlett, Layla only looked at the Health Potion in her hands.

'Health Potion? And it's in large size on top of that.'

She was startled when Ace gave her a large Health Potion.

In this world, potions had three sizes; small, medium, and large. She was stunned because he gave her a health potion in large size like it was nothing.

Heath Potion was one of the most expensive potions. Even the small size cost several gold coins, but here, Ace gave her a large health potion like it was a cheap potion.

"Why are you only looking at the health potion?" Ace inquired. "Drink it. It can help you recover your injuries faster."

"Layla, just drink it." Scarlett added. "Ace has a lot of potions in his space ring, so just drink it."

"Really?" Layla inquired.

"Yes." Ace nodded his head. "I have a lot of potions in my space ring."

"Ace, I will become your sugar baby for real if you keep spoiling me like this." Layla joked around.

"Alright, alright. Drink it first." Of course, Ace knew she was only joking around.

After drinking the Health Potion, Layla asked curiously, "Ace, is it true that you can master any skill and magic instantly?"

She was still curious about this because Scarlett said he could master any skill and magic instantly.

Instead of answering her question, Ace inquired, "Why do you want to know about this?"

"Ace, the lightning dragon magic from before was the magic you bought from the Wynn trading house, right?" even though Scarlett already knew the answer, but she still asked this question because she wanted to hear the answer directly from his mouth.

"Yes. It's the Great Lightning Dragon magic I bought from the Wynn trading house." Ace gave an honest answer.

"Then, is it true that you can master any skill and magic instantly?" Layla repeated her question.

"Yes." With the help of his system, Ace could master any magic and skill instantly.

"Ace, can you prove it to me? I want to see it." Layla could not suppress the curiosity in her heart.

The corner of his lips twitched.

"Ace, how about you try mastering the Lightning Move skill book in front of her?" Scarlett uttered, "I'm sure she won't be able to sleep if you refuse her wish."

"Good idea!" Layla agreed with Scarlett's words because Ace had just bought the Lightning Move skill book.

That meant she knew he still had not mastered that movement skill.

When Ace saw their expressions, he gave in. "Alright."

He immediately retrieved the Lightning Move skill book from his space ring.

[Ding! Host has discovered the Lightning Move skill book. Do you want to learn it?]

"I will only do it once, so watch carefully." After saying that, Ace skimmed through the Lightning Move skill book.

'Yes. I want to learn this skill.'

He added in his mind.

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

After skimming for several seconds, Ace uttered, "I will use Lightning Move skill now."

Ace's body transformed into a flash of lightning as he moved from one place to another.

Layla opened her mouth in surprise.

'He really can master it instantly.'

She finally believed Scarlett's words completely now.

Ace stopped in front of them and uttered, "Alright, done. How about we go to a restaurant now? I'm starving."

"Sure." Scarlett agreed instantly because she was also hungry.

"You are amazing, Ace!" Layla praised him as she walked next to him.

"Thank you." Ace responded.

Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 08:00 pm. At this moment, Darwin was waiting for his subordinates on the terrace.

He wore a displeased face because Tom, Lucas, and Robert still had not returned yet.

'Just where are they?'

He believed the auction was already over, so he wanted to know why his subordinates still had not returned yet.

Of course, he still did not know that Ace had killed his trusted subordinates because he was handling important matters earlier.

Because he really wanted to know where they were, he ordered a few of his subordinates to look for them.

'Just where are they?'
