When the ogre saw Ace walking toward him, he uttered, "Is it finally my turn?"
Unlike the leopard, the ogre did not beg for forgiveness and accepted his fate like a warrior.
He even felt proud because he would die at the hands of a powerful awakener.
As a warrior, dying on the battlefield was an honor.
That was why he accepted his fate.
"Kill me now, human." The ogre shut his eyes after saying that.
He thought Ace would cut off his head like what he did to the leopard, but he was wrong.
He was utterly wrong because Ace suddenly called group C.
"Come here." Ace ordered group C to come to him.
Mike and the others wasted no time and immediately rushed toward him.
When they were in front of him, Ace uttered, "Kill him now!"
The ogre instantly opened his eyes because this was different from what he had previously thought.
"Human, what are you doing? I want you to kill me, not them!" the ogre did not want to die at the hands of group C.
Group C was much weaker than him.
It was an insult to die at their hands because he only wanted to die at Ace's hands.
"Shut up! It's not your place to decide it!" after saying that, Ace used Ice Chain magic so that they could kill the ogre easily.
"No! I only want to die at your hands!" the ogre still asked Ace to kill him.
"You tried to kill them earlier, so I won't kill you." Ace told the ogre the reason why he let group C finish him off.
"Bella, you can kill him." Mike spoke abruptly.
"That's right, Bella. You can kill him." Lara added.
Jenny gave her sword to Bella. "Here, use my sword."
They wanted Bella to kill the ogre because he always tried to kill her earlier.
Bella took the sword and stared at the ogre. "You didn't see this coming, right?"
Of course, she accepted it gladly because she hated the ogre to the bone.
"No! I don't want to die at her ha-" the ogre could not finish his words because Bella cut off his head immediately.
Even though she was a mage, she could kill the ogre because she only needed a basic sword swing to kill him.
Everyone could do basic sword swings.
Even non-awakener could do that.
"I killed him!" Bella shouted happily after killing the ogre.
Mike and the others smiled.
They were happy for her.
"Do you still want to hunt magical beasts or return to our camp?" Ace inquired.
They had killed six magical beasts and ten goblins, so in his view, they had completed the mission.
"We still want to hunt magical beasts." Mike and the others responded in unison.
"Then, rest for ten minutes first." Ace uttered.
"Understood." Group C responded.
After resting for ten minutes, Ace lured six 2-star magical beasts. Unlike before, everything was under his control this time.
When the sun was about to set, they returned to their camp because the level of danger increased several times during the night.
In the end, group C killed twenty-five 2-star magical beasts and ten 1-star magical beasts. They also got fifteen beast cores because not all magical beasts had beast cores.

Luvrela Region, Framingburns Forest.
Lala and Lily were still looking for Ace.
Even though they had reached Framingburns forest since afternoon, they still had not found him because Framingburns forest was big.
"Lala, let's find shelter." The sun was setting, so Lily suggested they find a shelter like a cave or abandoned house.
"Alright." Lala agreed instantly because it was dangerous to roam the forest at night.
Shortly after that, they found an abandoned house.
Without waiting for another second, they entered the abandoned house.
After checking the house, Lala uttered, "Let's stay the night in this house."
"Alright." Lily nodded her head.
They then began looking for twigs.
The night would be cold because they were in the forest. That was why they looked for twigs because they would make a bonfire later.
"I hope we can find him tomorrow." Lala wanted to finish the mission quickly because she disliked staying in the forest.
"Don't worry. We will find him tomorrow." Lily stated.
"Un." Lala nodded her head.
'I can't wait to meet our target.'
She added in her head.

Framingburns Forest, Camp.
"Haha." The sound of laughter reverberated in the camp.
The atmosphere in the camp was lively because Scarlett and the others had dinner together.
Sure, they were in a dangerous place, but they did not care about it and only enjoyed their food together.
"Haha." Scarlett's subordinates laughed happily when they saw their friends dancing around the bonfire.
"Wow! That's an amazing dance!" Captain Noah stated.
"Captain Noah, come and join us." The red-haired man uttered.
"I can't dance, so I will just become the audience." Captain Noah responded.
However, the red-haired man and the others dragged him, causing him to have no choice but to dance with them.
"Haha." They danced as they laughed.
As Ace was looking at them, group C walked closer to him.
"Protector." They had finished eating, so they wanted to chat with him.
"Oh, it's you guys." Ace uttered, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. We just want to chat with you." Mike gave an honest answer.
"Yes. We only want to chat with you." Bella and the others added.
They then began to chat.
As they chatted happily, they also watched Captain Noah and the others dancing around the bonfire.
To his surprise, Bella suddenly grabbed Ace's right hand and uttered, "Protector, let's join them."
"But I can't dance." Even though he was from a wealthy family, Ace could not dance.
"It's fine. I also can't dance. Let's just move our bodies." After saying that, Bella dragged Ace closer to Captain Noah and the others.
Scarlett, who was sitting on a long log, pouted her lips.
'Hmf! He is a bad lover!'
Actually, she wanted to dance with him, but she did not dare to express her feelings because she was a city mistress.
She even did not dare to lovey-dovey with him in front of her subordinates. That was why she only stared at Bella with eyes full of jealousy.
'I will punish him later!'
She would drag him to her tent later.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm As Ace was dancing with Bella and the others, the other group C members joined them.
"Haha." They danced as they laughed.
"Ace, move your body more. Let's dance together!" Captain Noah was a little drunk because he danced while drinking his beer.
[Several divine beings enjoy seeing you dance with the others.]
[God of Sea says this kind of event is good once in a while.]
[Most divine beings agree with God of Sea's words.]
Like before, Ace ignored the notifications and danced with Captain Noah and the others.
One by one, Scarlett's subordinates joined them.
Now it looked like a party, a party after hunting magical beasts.
"Haha." Ace stopped dancing and sat on the long log.
Shortly after that, group C and Captain Noah also stopped dancing.
"It was so fun dancing with everyone." Captain Noah stated.
"Captain Noah, you only danced for a few minutes, so why are you breathing heavily like that?" Peter uttered, "You look like an old man now."
"Shut up!" Captain Noah roared.
"Haha." Peter and the others laughed.
