Binding System

Three hundred thousand people and two hundred and twenty thousand magical beasts were standing in front of the capital of the Xiriel Kingdom.

The humans were led by their king, while the magical beasts were led by an ice dragon.

Even though the possibility of them dying on the battlefield was high, none of them showed any signs of fear.

Some of them even trembled with excitement.

The magical beasts hated humans to the bone, while the humans detested magical beasts a lot, so there was no word peace in their dictionary.

It was either kill or be killed.

Apart from that, there was no other choice because in their eyes, humans and magical beasts could not live together in the same place, so one of them had to die.

"Ice dragon, you have killed many of my subordinates and caused trouble in my place many times, so I will kill you today." Finley's eyes gleamed with terrifying sharpness and every single one of his words was filled with coldness.

He had lost five powerful subordinates, so no matter what happened, he had to kill Ace, or else he would not be able to live in peace.

"Hey, why are you angry at my boss?" Fyre inquired, "You should not blame my boss. After all, your subordinates died because they were weak."

"That's right." Adra added. "The weak are the prey of the strong. That's the rule of this world, so you should blame your subordinates for being weak."

"Hey, Adra. We killed his subordinates last month, so how is he going to blame them?" Fyre inquired.

"Don't worry. He would meet them soon because they would not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow." Adra told Fyre indirectly that Finley and his people would die on the battlefield.

"Ah, right. I forgot they would die in our hands today." Fyre understood Adra's words immediately.

Finley felt a flash of irritation.

He had greater numbers, yet they dared to say something like that.

It was as if he and his people were nothing in their eyes.

'Damn it!'

Finley could not control himself as well as before since Ace and his underlings killed five of his powerful subordinates.

His kingdom was not as powerful as before now, so his hatred toward Ace and his followers was as big as the universe.

"Hmm?" Ace shifted his gaze to Fyre and Adra after seeing Finley's expression.

'Not bad. Not bad.'

He was delighted with Fyre and Adra's actions.

"Your Majesty, talking to beasts is useless because they have no brains." Lieutenant General Ben spoke abruptly.

"That's right, Your Majesty. We should just kill them."

"I agree, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, let's kill them immediately. I want to avenge Colonel Luke and the others."

Finley's subordinates could not wait to fight Ace and his followers because they wanted to avenge their dead brothers and sisters.

"You are right." Finley agreed that magical beasts had no brains.

"As usual, humans talk a lot." Calne stated.

"And they beg for forgiveness when they are in life-and-death situations. Haha." The 3-star hyena added.

"They are not brave warriors like me." Fyre did not forget to praise himself. "They are cowards!"

"Un, un." Adra and the others nodded their heads.

"Boss, why didn't you say something to them?" Fyre wanted to know why Ace had not said a single word since earlier.

"I don't want to waste my energy talking to them." Actually, Ace was paying attention to Finley's people when they talked.

He wanted to know who they should kill first because he wanted to end the war as quickly as possible.

"You are right, boss. Talking to them is only wasting our time. How about we attack them now?" Fyre inquired.

Ace did not answer Fyre's question; instead, he looked at Finley. "I will give you two choices: kill yourself or I will kill you."

Finley was the mastermind behind everything that happened to him and his city, so there was no way he would let him live.

Many citizens of Nightshire City died because of Finley.

He turned into a dragon also because of Finley.

So, no matter what happened, he would show him no mercy.

He would kill him and his people because this was the only way for his city to return to peace.

"Just for information. If you choose the latter, you will experience a painful death." Ace spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "So, what is your choice, King?"

"This is my choice." Finley pointed his staff at Ace. "Kill them all! Show them the consequences of offending us."

"I see. So, you choose a painful death, huh?" After saying that, Ace looked at his underlings, "My followers. I grant you permission to play with them."

He then continued, "You can play with them as you please. You can also torture them. I only ask you to do one thing. Show them what terror is before killing them. Do you understand?"

"Understood, leader." His underlings responded in unison.

"Then, go and play with them." Ace uttered.

"Haha. This is going to be exciting. Don't you think so, Hyzi?" Fyre said as he dashed toward Finley's subordinates.

"Yes." Hyzi responded, "My hands are trembling with excitement right now."

"Kill these damn beasts!" Lieutenant General Ben roared.

"Kill them!" his subordinates shouted.

*Cling…Clang…Cling…

The sound of weapons clashing reverberated on the battlefield.

Like Ace's previous plans, group one and group two attacked Finley's subordinates directly.

Group three attacked them from afar while group four attacked them from the air.

However, Ace was not the only one with that strategy.

Finley also used the same strategy.

The knights fought on the front lines, while mages and archers supported them from the rear.

As their underlings were fighting, Ace and Finley stared at each other.

They still had not moved from their positions as if they were waiting for one of them to attack first.

"Your Majesty, let's kill him now." Michael spoke abruptly.

They had made plans yesterday.

Their first plan was to attack Ace together.

If they were at a disadvantage in the war, they would use their second plan and make Finley support them with his trump card.

"Alright. Let's kill him now." Finley grabbed his staff firmer.

"Then, let me make the first move." After saying that, Michael fired his arrow at Ace.

Michael only used ordinary skill, so Ace could block his attack easily.

'Finley, one of us will die today.'

After blocking Michael's arrow with his tail, Ace roared.

Jalen and Ariel immediately grabbed their swords. Even though it was four versus one, they did not underestimate Ace.

Ace was from the dragon race, so they knew he was not like an ordinary magical beast at 5-star.

"Angel Slash." Right after Ariel raised his sword high in the air, a giant angel appeared behind him.

Like Ariel, the angel also held a sword.

The sword in the angel's hand was huge and gleamed in golden light.

When Ariel took one step forward, the angel did the same as if Ariel was the angel himself.

*Slash…

The huge slash split the ground in half as it flew toward Ace.

But even so, it did not scare Ace in the slightest.

Ace only opened his mouth before finally throwing a huge ice ball at the golden slash, intending to destroy it.

The shockwaves of their powerful attacks spread throughout the battlefield.

Many magical beasts and troops were thrown into the air, while the weak ones died after falling to the ground.

Finley's group did not stop there.

Ace was still alive, so they attacked him again.

Even though it was four versus one, they could not kill him immediately.

Of course, they managed to land attacks several times, but Ace was still fine because his body and scales were really strong.

"This is so fun. I'm finally feeling alive again." Hyzi, who was in human form, grinned as he killed Finley's subordinates.

Like Hyzi, Fyre also felt happy.

He even transformed into a human and used a sword as if he was really a knight, not a magical beast.

*Slash…Slash…Slash…

Even though Fyre only swung his sword randomly, but he killed one person every time he swung his sword.

It was as if he was born to wield a sword.

'This is so much fun!'

When he caught sight of Lieutenant General Ben, the smile on his face grew bigger.

'He looks strong. Then it's decided. He will be my next opponent.'

Without waiting for another second, Fyre rushed toward Lieutenant General Ben.

On the other side, Silvia attacked Finley's subordinates continuously.

She was riding a giant bird, so it was challenging to attack her.

'Hmm?'

She noticed that group one and group two were at a disadvantage.

"Renea, Mia, go help group one and group two." Silvia uttered.

"Alright." Renea and Mia ordered their mounts to fly lower.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of the attack echoed throughout the area.

Not only that, but dying screams also echoed on the battlefield.

It was a big war, so there was one fatality every second.

"Tch! This dragon is stronger than I thought." Finley said in annoyance.

They had ganged up on him for several minutes, yet they still could not kill him.

Ace was even still fine as if their attacks were weak.

'Hmm?'

When he saw his subordinates, his lips curled up into a grin.

"Ice dragon, I admit that you are stronger than I thought." Finley uttered, "However, you will still lose the war."

"What makes you think you will win the war?" Ace inquired.

"Look around you, ice dragon!" Finley responded, "Your subordinates are dying one by one. It's only a matter of time before they all die."

Ace skimmed his surroundings.

'Ah, he is right. My followers are at a disadvantage.'

He was still calm like usual as if it was not related to his life.

"Hey, you guys. What are you doing?" Ace uttered, "Didn't you say you wanted to kill them? Why are you lying on the ground like that? Were you lying when you said you wanted to kill them?"

To his surprise, his underlings, who were injured and lying on the ground, tried their best to stand up again.

"That's right. We should not lie on the ground. We have to kill them."

"Leader, I was tired earlier. I mean, I was sleepy, so I lay on the ground for a little bit."

"That's right, leader. Now, we will kill these damn humans and take their kingdom."

"Kill these humans and take their kingdom!"

Ace's words made the fighting spirit in their hearts burn again.

Finley was unhappy with this. "Useless actions! Our numbers are still greater. You will die sooner or later."

"Then what if we fight you too?" Nova's voice rang out.
