Binding System

"What makes you think I will run away?" Kane inquired, "I've decided before leaving my house that one of us has to die this time!"

Ace was pleased upon hearing Kane's words. "Then, let's see who will die today."

"Robes of Lightning." Robes made of blue lightning slowly enveloped Kane's body.

Robes of Lightning was a magic enhancement.

When he wore Robes of Lightning, the power of his Lightning magic would be stronger than normal.

It would be twice as strong as normal.

However, his other elemental magic would be reduced by fifty percent, such as wind, earth, fire, water, etc.

Not only that, but the Robes of Lightning magic effect only lasted for thirty minutes.

After thirty minutes, the Robes of Lightning would disappear and he could not use it again for twelve hours.

No!

It was not because the Robes of Lightning consumed a lot of mana.

It was because the Robes of Lightning had a side effect.

When his body was enveloped by the Robes of Lightning, the lightning also attacked his body but on a small scale.

This was the reason why Kane could only use the Robes of Lightning for thirty minutes because his body was unable to withstand the lightning for more than thirty minutes.

After that, he needed twelve hours of rest because he needed to recover his body.

If he had forced himself to use the Robes of Lightning before his body had fully recovered, his body could have suffered a fatal injury.

Kane decided to use the Robes of Lightning magic because most of his magic was of the Lightning element.

And Ace was an ice dragon, so lightning magic would put him at an advantage.

"Phoenix Lightning." Kane wasted no time and attacked Ace with his magic.

The lightning phoenix exploded when it came into contact with Ace's body, but it was not strong enough to injure him.

It could only scratch his scales.

"Oh! Your magic is not bad." Ace stated after looking at his scales.

Kane raised his right hand high in the sky and used another magic. "Lightning Annihilation."

A big magic circle appeared above Ace, and shortly after that, black clouds gathered around the magic circle.

Ace knew it was dangerous magic, so he did not stay still like before. He flew from where he was when a large lightning bolt crashed down, trying to hit him.

Kane's powerful magic failed to hit Ace, and it landed on the ground. Ace's followers and Kane's subordinates were hit by Kane's powerful attack.

People who were hit directly by his magic were immediately reduced to ashes, while the ones who were hit indirectly suffered serious injuries.

Kane used Tier-5 magic, so its destructive power was terrifying.

"Hmm?" Ace looked at the people below him.

'He did not care whether his magic hit his subordinates or not, huh?'

He returned his attention to Kane.

'It's my turn now.'

As soon as Ace opened his mouth, a single orb of freezing particles appeared.

At first, the size of the sphere was only as big as a tennis ball.

But the more he put his ice mana into it, the bigger the sphere became.

In a short amount of time, the orb was already three meters in size.

Kane knew Ace's attack was dangerous, so he created a lightning wall in front of him. However, lightning was not a good element for defence.

For this reason, his lightning wall could not stop Ace's attack. Luckily, he could use the Lightning Leap magic in time so he could avoid Ace's attack.

*Freeze …

Ace's attack hit the trees, causing the trees to freeze instantly.

The fight between Ace and Kane continued.

But unlike before, Ace did not let Kane use powerful magic again this time.

He always interrupted Kane when he was chanting a powerful magic. Casting powerful magic took a long time.

The stronger the magic, the longer the chant.

Kane did not have a knight to protect and support him, so it was challenging for him to use powerful magic again.

And because of this, Ace slowly had the upper hand in the fight.

Boom!

Ace hit Kane with his tail, causing Kane to be thrown several meters before finally crashing against a tree.

"Cough…Cough…" Kane coughed up blood after rising to his feet.

He did not give up and attacked Ace again.

And like before, Ace disturbed him when he was chanting a magic spell.

Kane tried to put some distance between them by using the Lightning Leap magic, but his efforts were in vain.

Ace's wings were huge, so he could fly more than one hundred meters in just a second.

'Deadly Orb.'

Ace threw a ball of ice at Kane again.

Actually, he made up the name of his attack randomly.

Since he turned into an ice dragon, he could only attack his enemies with his ice breath or ice balls.

He was unhappy with his limited attacks, so he always used a different attack name every time he used ice ball or ice breath because, with this, he felt like he had a lot of skills and magic.

*Freeze...

The ground and the trees froze instantly.

Like before, Kane used the Lightning Leap magic to avoid Ace's attack.

However, Ace had anticipated this.

He had even guessed where Kane would land.

And his guess was right.

That was why Kane could not avoid it when Ace shot ice from his mouth.

Bang!

Kane fell to the icy ground with his lower body frozen.

Ace flew lower before finally landing on the ground. "You lose, Kane."

Kane gritted his teeth in anger.

But when he remembered the important information Zak had given him, his angry face suddenly turned into laughter.

"Haha." Kane laughed loudly as if he was not in a life-and-death situation.

"Hmm?" Ace was startled by Kane's laughter. "Why are you laughing? Are you happy because you will meet your grandsons soon?"

"Ace, you have defeated me, so I will give you some information as a reward." Kane did not want Ace to live happily, so he would reveal everything.

"Oh? A reward?" Ace uttered,

"Ace, don't you want to know why Alselian City attacked your city? Don't you want to know who made you a wanted person?" Kane carried out his plan.

"You know about it?" Ace was startled by Kane's words, but he did not show it on his face.

"Of course. Let me tell you something. The mastermind behind the reason Alselian City attacked your city and the mastermind behind you becoming a fugitive is the same person." Kane slowly revealed everything to Ace. "It was all the work of one person."

Ace did not say anything and only stared at Kane.

"And the reason he did all this was because there was something he wanted in Nightshire City." Kane told Ace that he became a wanted person because he stood in that man's way of getting what he wanted. "That person is clever, right? I wouldn't have even realized that until a few minutes ago."

"Who is that person?" Ace could not help but ask that question because he also wanted to know about it.

"The royal family of the Xiriel Kingdom." Kane gave an honest answer. "Oh, the Fraser family is also involved in this. These two families are the ones who caused so many bad things to happen to you and your city. Well, not only to you, but to my family too."

He then continued, "At first, I wanted to go back and fight the Fraser and Royal families. It's a pity that I can't do that now."

Of course, Ace did not believe Kane's words immediately because Kane was his enemy.

"I know you won't believe my words, but what I said is the truth." Kane knew Ace doubted his words. "It's up to you whether you want to believe it."

"Why are you telling me this?" Ace inquired

"I'm telling you this information because you have defeated me." Kane responded, "Ah, maybe it's because I'm furious."

He then continued, "My family has always been loyal to the Royal family, and we have also sacrificed many things for the Xiriel Kingdom. Maybe this is my disappointment with the royal family who repays our loyalty with evil."

"Alright. That is your reward for defeating me, Ace. It was a good fight, Ace." After saying that, Kane retrieved a dagger from his space ring and committed suicide.

Ace, who looked at Kane's corpse, remembered Kane's words.

'Is he telling the truth?'
