Ace, who was floating in front of the 3-star leopard, spoke, "Leave! Go back to your place now."

He did not immediately attack the leopard and only told him to leave.

No!

He was not afraid of the leopard.

He did this because protecting Mike and the others was his priority, so he would avoid the fight if he could.

Little did he know that his words and actions made the leopard angrier. "Human, I'm in a bad mood right now. Don't get in my way, or else I will kill you later."

Framingburns forest was the territory of magical beasts, but here, Ace dared to act high and mightily, so of course, the leopard was unhappy.

"Grrr…" the leopard's underlings showed their fangs, trying to scare Ace.

Ace shifted his gaze from the leopard to his underlings.

Even though the leopard's underlings showed their fangs, he did not show the slightest fear in his eyes.

They were only 1-star and 2-star magical beasts, so they were nothing in his eyes. 

He even believed he could kill them in less than a minute.

That was why he stared at them without feeling afraid.

Because Ace kept floating before him, the 3-star leopard could not suppress his anger anymore. "Human, I will count to three. If you don't get out of my sight, I will kill you."

Even though he knew Ace was an awakener at Master rank, he was not afraid of Ace because he was already at 3-star.

And he also had ten underlings with him. He believed he could kill Ace if they fought. That was why he dared to say something like that.

"You are not allowed to go any closer than this." Of course, Ace refused because he would not allow the leopard to get closer to Mike and the others.

[God of Wind utters, just kill it.]

[Several diving beings agree to the God of Wind.]

"Because you are still getting in my way, I will kill you now!" after saying that, the leopard jumped at Ace, trying to tear his body apart with his claw.

Even though the distance between them was close, Ace could avoid the attack easily.

'It seems like this fight is inevitable.'

He retrieved his Phoenix sword from his space ring.

"Grrr…" 2-star black leopard jumped at Ace.

"You should remain in your place." After saying that, Ace swung his sword, sending a huge wave of energy at the black leopard.

The black leopard crashed into a large tree before falling to the ground and dying. 

"Humannn!" the 3-star leopard roared angrily when he saw one of his underlings die.

He was furious.

He was enraged.

Not only did Ace dare to stand in his way from killing Mike and the others, but Ace also killed one of his underlings.

Blood for blood!

Because Ace had killed one of his underlings, he would not stop until he killed Ace.

Sure, he could lose track of Mike and the others later, but he did not care about it. As long as they were in Framingburns forest, he believed he could find them.

After all, Framingburns forest was the territory of magical beasts.

'I will show you the price for getting in my way and killing my underling!'

The leopard opened its mouth, and a single orb of freezing particles slowly formed. 

When Ace saw an ice ball flying toward him, he used Earth Shield magic to block it. Even though his Earth Shield shattered into pieces, the ice ball did not hit him.

'Hmm?'

Ace put his sword in a diagonal when he saw the 3-star leopard on his left side.

"Die, human!" the leopard threw out his claw.

Boom!

Even though Ace managed to block the attack, he was thrown five meters before hitting a boulder.

Her left wing was shattered into pieces, while crack lines were visible on his other wing. 

'This magical beast's attack is heavy.'

He rose to his feet and wiped off the blood on the corners of his lips with his right thumb.

When he was about to attack the 3-star leopard, the leopard's underlings rushed toward him.

Ace used the Lightning Move skill as he attacked the leopard's underlings. 

Because his movements and attacks were so fast, the leopard's underlings could not block or avoid his attacks.

The 3-star leopard roared in anger when Ace killed his underlings again. Previously, he brought ten underlings with him, but now seven of them had died.

In other words, he only had three underlings left now!

"You kept attacking me since earlier. It's my turn now." after saying that, Ace rushed toward the 3-star leopard.

As Ace was fighting the 3-star leopard, Mike and the others cut off the ears of magical beasts.

They did this as proof that they had killed six magical beasts. 

"Let's take a rest before looking for magical beasts again." Mike uttered.

Lara and the others nodded their heads.

However, the goddess of luck was not on their side because ten blue goblins suddenly appeared before them.

Like Lara and the others, the goblins also had weapons. Some of them even wore armor and held shields.

Of course, these armors and weapons were not theirs.

They got these armor and weapons from awakeners that they killed yesterday.

"It's blue goblin!" Mike retrieved his spear from his space ring, "Get ready to fight."

"Kekeke." The goblins laughed because, in their eyes, Mike and the others were their prey.

They were 2-star goblins and had killed many awakeners at Elite rank, so they believed they could kill Mike and the others.

"Ge…" the biggest goblin pointed his right index finger at Mike and the others, giving a signal to attack them.

The other goblins instantly rushed toward the members of group C. Like before, they laughed evilly.

They were powerful goblins, and they knew that Mike and the others were not in top shape because there were signs that they had just fought magical beasts.

This was the reason why they believed they could kill the members of Group C quickly.

However, they underestimated Mike and the others!

Even though group C fought six magical beasts a few minutes ago, the goblins did not have the upper hand in the fight.

Sure, Mike and the others were not in top shape, but their teamwork made up for their already drained stamina from the previous battle. 

This was the reason why they were able to fight on an equal footing against the goblins.

"Grrr…" all the goblins were furious.

This was different from what they previously thought.

They should have succeeded in killing all members of group C by now.

They should be celebrating their victory now.

However, Mike and the others were still standing.

Mike and the others could still fight them.

It was annoying!

It was irritating!

They even had not managed to kill a single member of group C until now.

This was the reason why all goblins gritted their teeth in annoyance because group C was much stronger than they thought.

"Samuel, cover me!" after saying that, Mike rushed toward the biggest goblin because he looked like the goblin's leader.

"Alright." Samuel shot his arrows at the goblins who were trying to approach Mike.

He would not let any goblin get close to Mike. 

Not only Samuel but Bella also tried her best to protect Mike. She used Earth Needle magic to attack the goblins who were trying to approach Mike. 

As group C fiercely fought blue goblins, Ace's two clones stood on a tree branch.

"Should we help them?" his first clone inquired.

"They are only 2-star goblins, so let them fight these blue goblins." His second clone responded.

"But the mission is only to kill magical beasts, not goblins." His first clone uttered. 

"Goblins are mythical creatures, so it's the same." His second clone answered.

After discussing for several seconds, they decided not to help group C.

They also did not tell Ace because these goblins were only at 2-star. 

They could still handle these goblins if Group C could not kill them!

That was why they kept watching the fight from a tree branch.

*Cling…Clang…Cling…

The sound of weapons clashing reverberated on the battlefield.

Group C and the goblins still fought fiercely.

They still tried to kill each other.

At first, both sides fought on an equal footing, but everything changed after Mike killed the biggest goblin.

The biggest goblin was their leader, so the other goblins started feeling scared and could no longer fight normally.

And as a result, Mike and the others could kill them not long after that.

"Let's cut off their ears." Mike spoke abruptly.

"Alright." Lara and the others nodded their heads.

As they cut off the ears of the blue goblins, a 3-star ogre ran toward them.

"Human…where is the human?" the 3-star ogre said as he ran.

The ogre was huge, with a height of three meters. He wore a skull necklace and held a black mace.

Because he only wore a kilt, the scars on his upper body were visible. From these scars, anyone could tell he had been through many fights.

"Where is the human?" The ogre ran while swinging his mace, making a small path for him.

At this moment, Mike and the others were still cutting off the ears of the blue goblins. They did not know that a 3-star ogre was rushing toward them.

"Let's take a rest now." Mike uttered.

"Alright." Peter and the others responded in unison.

But when they were about to take a rest, the 3-star ogre appeared in front of them. "Found it! I have found the human!"
