Binding System-Chapter 73 Why Are We Only Standing On This Stone Platform?

As Ace was fighting against the magical beasts, he approached Scarlett. "Should I take this opportunity to decrease their numbers?"

He did not have a good relationship with the people from two families and three organizations, so he suddenly had an idea to kill some of them.

Scarlett was startled.

'Decrease their numbers? Does he want to kill them again?'

She used her Twin Shot skill to attack the magical beasts around them.

"I think you don't need to do that. Look at them! Some of them have died, so let the magical beasts do the job." she was not against the idea of killing them, but it was not the right time to do that.

Countless magical beasts were attacking them, so they needed these people's power to kill the magical beasts.

"Good idea!" after saying that, he used his Ice Wing magic.

'We need to save our energy.'

He immediately carried Scarlett in a princess style before finally flying into the sky.

"Let's observe the situation from here." He shifted his gaze from his clones to Jordan and the others.

"Three people from Jordan's group have died. And it seems like he will lose more subordinates later." Scarlett saw a few people dying on the battlefield.

Even though it was only 2-star magical beasts, but they were outnumbered by the magical beasts.

That was why people from two families and three organizations were dying one by one.

"People from other groups are also dying one by one." Happiness danced inside him when he saw them dying one by one.

He even hoped the strong awakeners would die later because, with this, it would be easier for him to deal with them.

Without realizing it, it had been forty minutes since magical beasts attacked them. At this moment, Jordan and the others almost killed all the magical beasts.

Ace and Scarlett were no longer in the sky; instead, they stood next to his clones.

"Damn it!" Jordan was unhappy when he saw his subordinates dying one by one.

'Just where did these magical beasts come from?'

He asked in his mind.

Not long after that, the fight between humans and magical beasts was over.

Even though Jordan and the others won the fight, but they paid a high price for their victory.

Jordan only had four subordinates now because six of them died. Like Jordan, Zane only had four subordinates left.

The Black Tiger Organization lost seven people, so they only had three people now.

Both Misty Palace and the Blue Rose Organization only lost four people, so they still had six people in their groups.

Jimmy, who was injured slightly, turned his head to look at Ace.

'Damn it! That annoying person is still alive!'

Previously, he hoped the magical beasts could kill Ace.

He just didn't expect Ace to survive the attacks of magical beasts. Ace even looked fine, as if he did not fight against magical beasts earlier.

Like Jimmy, Jordan was also annoyed when he found out that Ace was still alive and kicking.

'Just how strong is he?'

He clenched his fist as he stared at Ace.

Ace's lips curled up into a smirk when he caught sight of them.

'It seems like they are disappointed after finding out that I'm still alive.'

Even though the distance between them was quite far, Ace could tell what they had in mind because it was written on their faces.

"Let's scout this area again," Scarlett spoke abruptly.

"Alright." Ace nodded his head. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

'System, keep scanning this area continuously.'

He added in his mind.

[Understood, Host.]

Like Ace, Jordan and the others began scouting the area too.

However, they did not have a special tool like Ace, so they only depended on their eyes, instincts, and senses to find the treasure.

After scouting the area for about an hour, they found five floating stones in ruins.

The floating stones were huge and protected by a barrier. From the looks of it, anyone could tell that there was treasure hidden within these floating stones.

The people from two families and three organizations wasted no time and jumped onto the floating stones.

"They have taken all the floating stones." Scarlett was unhappy. "Should we try to snatch it?"

She believed they could snatch it.

That was why she asked for his opinion on whether they should try snatching their floating stones or not.

"No need to do that." Ace had an excellent plan.

'I will let them do the hard work.'

He had scanned the entire area earlier, so he knew what to do.

[All Divine beings are curious about your actions.]

[God of Mountain wants to know the reason why you don't want to snatch these floating stones.]

Ace ignored the notifications and dragged Scarlett to the stone platform in front of the floating stones.

"Why are we standing on this stone platform?" Scarlett still did not know his plan because he did not tell her about it.

Ace immediately whispered the answer because he did not want Jordan and the others to hear his words.

"I see!" she finally understood everything.

[God of Sea wants to know what you whispered to her.]

[Several Gods are guessing your plan.]

[Ten Divine beings demand you to reveal your plan.]

One of Reese's subordinates spoke abruptly, "Leader, that young man's strength is enough to take one of the floating stones. Why does it seem like he is not interested in these floating stones?"

Reese, who was standing in front of the barrier, turned her head to look at Ace. "It's indeed weird."

"What a pity!" another of her subordinate uttered, "Previously, I wished he would kill that Jordan kid because I hate that kid to the bone."

"Alright. Forget about them." Reese spoke, "Let's destroy this barrier now."

"Understood." Her subordinates responded in unison.

Jimmy and Jordan smirked when they saw Ace standing on the stone platform.

'Serves you right!'

They were pleased because this meant he would get nothing later.

Jordan and the others began trying to destroy the barrier. Even though they were powerful awakeners, they could not destroy it easily.

Of course, they did not give up because the treasure was right before their eyes. All they needed to do was destroy the barrier, and they would get the treasure.

Ace, who was standing on the stone platform, looked at them.

'Look at them! They look so happy.'

He walked closer to Scarlett.

'System, activate Defense and Attack Formation card.'

Eight small red flags suddenly appeared and stuck to the ground, surrounding the stone platform.

Defense and Attack formation was a strong formation. It could only be destroyed by awakeners at Grandmaster rank and above.

Even though Jordan and the others were powerful awakeners, but the strongest among them was only at Master rank.

In other words, no one could destroy the formation!

Defense and Attack formation was not ordinary formation because it was linked to his system, so he could control it completely.

If he wanted someone to pass through the formation, the formation would not activate.

But if he did not want someone to pass through the formation, the formation would block them.

Not only that, but the formation would attack that person too.

Scarlett was shocked.

'A formation? When did he learn formation? Is it from an artifact too?'

Because she could not hold back the curiosity in her heart, she immediately asked, "When did you learn formation? Is it from an artifact?"
