Binding System

Ace's face darkened when he saw fifteen hyenas.

'Why am I having so much bad luck today?'

He did not expect to face difficult times one after another.

First, a 3-star magical beast suddenly appeared when he was fighting against 1-star magical beast.

Second, two pervert old men tried to take advantage of the situation when he and Scarlett were heavily injured.

Third, he was almost killed when he was about to complete the quest given by the system, and now, fifteen hyenas suddenly appeared when he wanted to take Scarlett out of the forest.

'I have to run now.'

Even though these hyenas were only 1-star magical beasts, he decided not to fight them because he was only at Novice rank.

It was impossible for him to fight fifteen hyenas and protect Scarlett at the same time because they were on the same level.

No, even though they were on the same level, he would not be able to kill them because fighting against fifteen magical beasts at the same time was too much for the current him.

That was why he decided to run away because it was the best choice for them.

"Grrr…" these fifteen hyenas chased them.

Ace ran as fast as he could.

[God of Wine and Ecstasy says, my offer still stands.]

God of Wine and Ecstasy still wanted to make a contract with Ace because, in his eyes, Ace was an interesting human.

Like before, Ace ignored God of Wine and Ecstasy's offer because he did not want to lose his eyesight.

"Grrr…" one of the hyenas jumped at him, trying to bite him.

Ace instantly stopped running and kicked it.

Bang!

The hyena was thrown two meters back before finally crashing into a tree and falling to the ground.

Ace wasted no time and ran again. He did not kill that hyena because he would be surrounded by its friends if he did that.

Another hyena jumped at him. Unlike before, he did not attack the hyena this time and only avoided it before finally running again.

'It will be dangerous if this continues.'

He skimmed his surroundings as he ran.

'I have to find a place to hide.'

He turned his head to the right and left.

'There!'

He rushed towards the tall bushes and hid in them.

'I hope these ugly hyenas won't notice us.'

His eyes were focused on these fifteen hyenas.

'In my previous life, they are my prey, but now…sigh.'

He could kill hyenas easily in his previous life.

He just did not expect to become their prey after transmigrating into another world.

"Grr…" the hyenas stopped in front of him and skimmed their surroundings.

Ace came out of his hiding place and ran again when he saw them walking closer toward him.

'I underestimated their sense of smell.'

He did not have any cards that could help him because he only had three cards now; Duji poison and antidote card, Instant Absorption card and Transformation Mask card.

Like before, these hyenas attacked him again, but he managed to avoid or block their attacks.

"Huft…Huft…Huft…" he began to breathe heavily.

'No! I have to keep running!'

Running while carrying Scarlett consumed a lot of his stamina, but he forced himself to keep running because they could die if he stopped.

"Grr…" another hyena jumped at him, trying to bite him.

Luckily, Ace's reflexes were good, causing the hyena to fail to bite him.

'Scarlett, don't be afraid. I won't let these hyenas hurt you.'

He kept running as fast as he could.

However, something unexpected happened shortly after that.

He tripped over a tree root!

He could not focus on running because he had to pay attention to his surroundings.

Bang!

Scarlett was thrown three meters from him when Ace fell to the ground.

Two hyenas rushed toward them; one dashed toward him while the other ran toward Scarlett.

Ace instantly retrieved his sword from his space ring and blocked the hyena's attack.

Previously, he placed his sword horizontally in front of his chest, causing the hyena to bite his sword.

*Crack…Crack…

His sword cracked.

His sword was no longer in good condition because he kept using it against magical beasts ever since he came to the forest.

Ace did not panic.

He instantly kicked the hyena hard.

Bang!

The hyena was thrown five meters before finally crashing into a stone.

Ace instantly rose to his feet.

His face turned worried when he saw the other hyena.

"No!" he rushed toward Scarlett.

*Grrr…

The hyena opened its mouth, ready to bite Scarlett.

Scarlett did not know what was going on because she was unconscious. She had no idea that a hyena was about to bite her neck.

Ace instantly stretched out his left arm in front of the hyena's mouth.

Yes, he offered his left arm for the hyena to bite!

Scarlett was unconscious and heavily injured, so it would be dangerous if she were bitten by the hyena.

That was why he offered his left arm to be bitten by the hyena.

"Hiii…" Ace tried his best to endure the pain when the hyena bit his left arm.

*Drip…Drip…Drip…

Blood fell down from his left arm.

Even though he was enduring the pain, he did not stay still. It was a perfect time to attack the hyena, so he instantly used his broken sword to attack its eyes and body.

[God of Wind is tearing at the sight of your love.]

[God of Sea is watching you with sympathetic eyes.]

[A few gods who disliked you have now taken interest in you.]

*Stab…Stab…Stab…Stab…

Even though he was only at Novice rank, but his attacks were fast.

He managed to attack the hyena's eyes and the body more than fifteen times in less than six seconds.

The hyena could not dodge or avoid his attacks because he was biting Ace's left arm.

"Ackk…" the hyena cried out in pain.

Even though Ace kept attacking the hyena, but he failed to kill it because he attacked the hyena using a broken sword.

However, he was fine with it because his intention was to protect Scarlett.

Ace instantly carried Scarlett on his back and ran again when the hyena stopped biting his left arm.

*Drip…Drip…Drip…

As Ace was running, blood kept dripping from his left arm.

[Goddess of Love is paying attention to you.]

[Goddess of MILF is looking at you.]

[Several divine beings are amazed by your actions.]

[God of Wine and Ecstasy shakes his head.]

[God of Harem smiles at you.]

Ace ignored the notifications.

'Scarlett. Don't worry. I will protect you.'

He did not care about his injury because his head was filled with her safety.

"Grr…Grrr…" the other hyenas ran after him.

They did not give up and kept chasing Ace.

As he was running, Ace saw two small hills. He did not think twice and continued to run towards these two small hills.

All the hyenas stopped chasing him when they saw Ace running toward these two small hills.

"Grr…"

"Grr…"

"Grr…"

The hyenas were unhappy, but they did not dare to chase Ace.

Ace was startled when the hyenas stopped chasing him.

'What happened? Why did they stop chasing me?'

He still did not know what was going on.

As he was thinking about the reason why the hyenas suddenly stopped chasing him, a notification popped up.

[Ding! Host has entered Death Valley. Nine out of ten people die after entering the Death Valley. Leave the Death Valley with Scarlett safely, and Host will be given Defense and Attack Formation card.]
