Binding System-Chapter 43 Bad Luck

Gideon and Jason were stunned when a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Ace's body.

'Wha…what's going on? How could his body suddenly emit such a terrifying aura?'

They could not believe what was happening.

Previously, Ace was only at Novice rank, but now, they did not know how strong he was.

However, they were sure of one thing.

He was much stronger than them!

In this world, awakeners could determine the rank of other Awakeners based on the power they emitted.

However, they could only check the rank of awakeners who were on the same level as them or lower.

Of course, they could check the rank of awakeners who had a higher rank than them, but they needed unique skills or tools to do that.

Gideon and Jason did not have these unique tools or skills. And because they could not determine Ace's rank, they were sure he was stronger than them.

Even though Ace could only use Evelyn's power for about fifty seconds, he did not kill them immediately.

He was also not afraid of them running away because he believed they would not be able to escape from him.

A deep feeling of fear suddenly appeared in Gideon and Jason's hearts. Not only that, but their bodies began to tremble too.

The closer he was to them, the more uncontrollably their trembling became. At that time, Ace looked so scary.

His cold eyes and terrifying aura made him look like a grim reaper who had come from hell to take their lives.

Gideon and Jason walked backward, putting on some distance between them. "Don… don't come closer!"

They did not try to fight back because they knew it was useless. Because of how great the fear was in their hearts, they even forgot that they could use Scarlett as a hostage.

Gideon and Jason exchanged a glance with each other. At that time, there was only one thing on their minds.

Run!

They had to leave that place as soon as possible!

They believed that they would lose their lives if they remained in that place.

They had done many bad things to him, and he was currently stronger than them, so they knew there was only one outcome if they did not run away immediately.

Death!

They believed he would kill them because they could tell from his cold expression and terrifying aura.

Jason let go of Scarlett and ran away. Like Jason, Gideon also tried to escape from him. They abandoned the idea of sleeping with Scarlett because their lives were more important.

Ace instantly caught Scarlett. He made her sit on the ground with her back leaning against a tree.

"Wait here, Scarlett." Even though his face was still filled with coldness, but his voice was soft and gentle.

However, she could not hear him because she fainted. If she knew what was going on, she would be sad because Ace looked like a demon.

Ace rose to his feet and rushed towards Gideon and Jason. His Agility level was much higher than Gideon's and Jason's, so he could catch up with them in no time.

Bang!

Gideon and Jason fell to the ground when Ace suddenly appeared before them.

Terror overtook their faces, and the fear within them instantly grew bigger. Previously, they thought they managed to escape from him, but they were wrong.

They were utterly wrong because Ace could catch up with them in no time.

"Ple…please, please forgive us." They begged for forgiveness.

Ace did not say anything and only stared at them with his cold eyes. Of course, he would not forgive them because they did kill-steal and had bad intentions toward Scarlett.

Gideon and Jason knelt before him. They banged their heads on the ground repeatedly and begged for forgiveness.

"Ple…please forgive us. We promise we won't do bad things again." Gideon said in a trembling voice.

Even though his actions ruined his image and pride, he did not care about it because his life was more important than anything.

"Yes." Jason added, "We will be good people later. We promise."

Previously, they thought today would become one of the best days in their lives because they managed to get 3-star magical beast core and Scarlett.

"Then be good people in your next life." Whatever happened, Ace would not forgive them.

Gideon and Jason lifted their heads to look at him. When they were about to beg for forgiveness again, Ace sliced their throats using his swords.

*Slash…

Blood splashed out of their throats before they finally fell to the ground, died.

[God of Harem likes what you did.]

[God of Wind gives you a thump up.]

[A divine being who likes to take revenge nods his head in satisfaction.]

[Five new divine beings come to see your adventure.]

Ace stared at their corpses coldly. There was not a hint of pity in his eyes as they brought their own downfall.

'I will take their space rings now.'

He needed to kill them and take their space rings to complete the quest, so he wasted no time and took Jason's space ring.

However, something happened when he was about to take Gideon's space ring.

He fell to the ground!

The effect of Power Loan card had worn off, so he no longer had stamina left now.

"Hiiii…" Ace gritted his teeth.

He was in excruciating pain from the after-effects.

His body was injured before he used the Power Loan card, so his body could not bear the pain.

'It hurt! It hurt like hell!'

He felt as if countless people were stabbing his body and crushing his bones at the same time.

'No, I can't faint now. I have to endure this!'

They were in a dangerous forest, and Scarlett was alone, so he tried his best to remain conscious.

'I have to finish the quest!'

He took a big gamble.

He hoped the system would give him a card that could help them in their situation.

'Move! Move!'

Actually, the distance between him and Gideon was close.

However, he could not take Gideon's space ring immediately because he had no stamina left now.

Not only that, but he was also enduring immense pain, causing him to be unable to move his hands even more.

'Move! Move!'

Actually, his right hand was only a few centimeters from Gideon's space ring but moving his right hand for a centimeter needed a great effort.

*Owooooo…

The sound of a wolf's howl reverberated in the entire area.

Ace gritted his teeth.

'Why? Why should it be at a time like this?'

He knew they were in the forest, but he did not expect the magical beast to find him so soon.

[The Great Sage, The Equal of Heaven is biting his nails, feeling nervous.]

[Several divine beings are looking at you worriedly.]

[Goddess Teressa is staring at you.]

[Five new divine beings sigh at your bad luck.]

[God of Wind closes his eyes.]

[God of Lust sighs.]

Ace ignored the notifications because he had to take Gideon's space ring immediately.

Even though he did not know what he would get from the system, but he had high hopes for his system.

"Grrrr…" three wolves appeared and walked toward him slowly.

Ace wanted to curse at his bad luck.

'Am I going to die?'

Just as he was starting to lose hope, a notification popped up. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨

[God of Wine and Ecstasy gives you an offer. Boy, do you want to make a contract with me? I can help you solve this problem.]

Ace was shocked.

[Ding! God of Wine and Ecstasy sends you a contract. Do you want to make a contract with him?]
