Chapter 180 Saving Lieutenant Valeria



"What?! You are in Arnlisle Forest, a forest next to Aquarin city?!" Scarlett found it hard to believe what she was hearing.

Sure, she knew Ace was far away from Nightshire City, but she did not expect him to be that far away. 

"Yes. Neia told me about it earlier." He knew Scarlett would be shocked because he was also startled earlier.

"Neia? Who is Neia?" she asked curiously.

"She is…" he began telling her what had happened to him earlier.

"Haha." She burst into waves of laughter after hearing his explanation. "So, you only wanted to test your new skill but you ended up become a knight in shining armor?"

"That's right." He gave an honest answer. "I did not know there were three people in front of me earlier. Neia thought I wanted to help her. That was why I was dumbfounded when she suddenly thanked me."

"I did not know you had such an interesting incident." She suddenly wanted to see his dumbfounded expression when Neia thought he was helping her. "By the way, where did you get that new skill?" 

"In the well." Ace told her everything without hiding a single thing.

He said he got Yin Yang Dragon skill and a lot of money. He decided to reveal everything because he was talking with Scarlett. Otherwise, he would not reveal it.

"You are so lucky, Ace." She was amazed by his luck.

When they were on an adventure to Herora city, he also got good skills and a lot of money. She did not expect the same thing to happen again.

"Yes. I was lucky." He agreed with her. "Oh, right, Scarlett. Neia told me that there is a transportation gate in Aquarin city, so I can go home immediately after finding Lieutenant Valeria."

"Really?" she was pleasantly surprised by this good news.

"Yes." He knew she would be happy.

"Good! Then you have to find Lieutenant Valeria quickly because I miss you a lot." Even though she had not seen him for just a day, she had already missed him.

"I will do my best to find her." He uttered.

"Un. I'm waiting for your return." She responded.

After talking for several minutes, they slept.

----

The following morning, Ace looked for Lieutenant Valeria after eating breakfast. Unlike yesterday, he ordered his clones to help him this time.

He believed he could find her faster if his clones also helped him. That was why he created five clones and ordered them to find Lieutenant Valeria.

'I hope she is in this forest.'

He continued looking for her.

Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 04:30 pm. Like before, Ace was still looking for Lieutenant Valeria.

He only stopped when he was starving, but he looked for her again after eating. He did not stop looking for her because he wanted to find her as soon as possible.

'Sigh. If only I have a card that can help me find her.'

He only had two cards now, and none of these cards could help him find her.

This was the reason why he sighed helplessly.

As he was looking for Lieutenant Valeria, fifteen wild boars suddenly appeared and walked toward him.

They did not know that Ace was much stronger than them. 

They thought Ace was their prey. 

That was why these wild boars thought that there was food before their eyes. 

'Hmm?'

Ace, who noticed these fifteen wild boars, did not flinch.

He even kept walking leisurely as if he did not see them. 

Even though there were fifteen wild boars in front of him, he did not show the slightest fear in his eyes because they were only at 2-star.

In other words, they were weaklings!

It was just a number, nothing more than that.

No matter how many they were, weakling was weakling.

That was why he still walked leisurely.

*Grunt…Grunt…Grunt…

These fifteen wild boars were currently before Ace, ready to attack him.

Like a master in a martial arts movie, Ace put his hand behind his back and kept walking forward.

Boom!

As soon as he was close to them, a terrifying aura came out of his body.

These fifteen wild boars instantly trembled. 

Previously, they wanted to attack him, but their bodies suddenly felt heavy when he was close to them.

Not only that, a feeling of deep fear suddenly arose within them after Ace released his terrifying aura.

At that moment, their instinct told them not to move from their positions. Their instinct told them they would die instantly if they tried attacking him. 

This was the reason why they did not do anything and lowered their heads when he walked past them.

Ace, who saw their trembling bodies, kept walking leisurely.

He knew something like this would happen, so he was not surprised by what was going on.

[God of Wind utters, as usual, he likes to show off and act like an expert.]

[God of Sea speaks, but I like his behavior. The chosen one should act like this because he is special.] 

[God of Mountain utters, I would have killed these wild boars if I were him.]

[God of Sea speaks, but you are not him.]

[God of Wind inquires, did he imitate his grandfather's behavior?] 

[God of Sea says, I think so.]

Ace ignored the notifications and kept walking.

*Three hundred meters in front of Ace.

Lieutenant Valeria was lying on the ground.

Her body was filled with injuries, especially her arms.

In front of her, two 3-star red ogres were staring at her. One of them lost his right arm because Lieutenant Valeria cut off his right arm.

"I admit you are strong, human." the ogre named Trakor said abruptly. "You even managed to cut off my right arm just now."

"Yes. You are strong." the ogre named Zaruk added. "You managed to injure us despite being ganged up on by us. If we fought you one by one, we would have been dead by now." 

"It's a pity that you are alone, so you will die at our hands now." after saying that, Trakor walked closer to her.

Lieutenant Valeria only stared at them without saying a single word. She wanted to fight them again, but she could not stand up because she was heavily injured.

Even though death was right before her eyes, she did not beg for her life. She was a proud warrior, so she would rather die than beg for her life.

When Trakor was close to her, he inquired, "Tell me your name, human. I will keep your name in my mind as my respect for you." 

Like before, Lieutenant Valeria did not say anything.

"Because you don't want to tell me your name, I will give you a nickname. Amara! Your nickname is Amara. Amara means strong. It fits you perfectly." After giving her a nickname, Trakor raised his mace. "Now it's time to say goodbye, human."

Lieutenant Valeria kept looking at Trakor. She refused to close her eyes because she wanted to see the one who would kill her.

"It was enjoyable fight." After saying that, Trakor swung his mace, intending to hit her head.

But before Trakor's mace landed on her head, a black dragon flew at him from his right side.

Trakor, who noticed it, immediately placed his mace horizontally in front of him.

Boom!

Even though he managed to block the attack, he was thrown ten meters from where he was.

Lieutenant Valeria was shocked by what was happening.

She thought she would die earlier.

She did not expect someone to attack Trakor when he was about to kill her.

'Who is that person?'

When she turned her head in the direction the black dragon had come from, a handsome young man suddenly appeared before her and took her to a safe place.

His movements were so fast that one could only see the blue lightning that his trail left behind.

"Lieutenant Valeria, drink this Vital of Redemption potion. It can help your wound heal faster." Ace did not have Health Potion, so he gave her Vital of Redemption potion.

"Ace?!" the expression of deep shock blossomed on her face.

She did not expect that the one who had just saved her was Ace. 

They were separated when they got sucked by the black hole yesterday, so she thought she would not meet him quickly like this.

Of course, she was happy because she also looked for him.

"Just wait here. Leave the rest to me." After saying that, he created two clones to protect her.

"Alright." She drank the Vital of Redemption potion immediately.

Ace shifted his gaze from her to his clones. "Protector her."

After that, Ace walked toward Trakor and Zaruk. 

They had injured Lieutenant Valeria heavily, so he wanted to kill them. He would show no mercy to people who hurt someone close to him.

That was why he would kill them.

Trakor rose to his feet and inquired, "Human, are you her friend?"

Ace approached them as he held his Phoenix sword. "You have injured Lieutenant Valeria, so I won't forgive you."

"So, she is a Lieutenant?" Trakor spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "No wonder she is strong. It turns out she is a Lieutenant."

Zaruk walked closer to Trakor before finally looking at Ace. "Human, are you sure you want to fight us?"

Ace looked weak in his eyes. 

That was why he asked whether Ace really wanted to fight them or not because the consequences would be fatal.

[Several divine beings are excited.]

[God of Wind utters, that ugly ogre dares to underestimate you. Beat him to death! Show him the power of the chosen one.]

"Because you decided to fight us, I hope you won't disappoint us." After saying that, Zaruk rushed toward Ace.
