Binding System

Scarlett could not do anything when she fell to the bottom of the canyon because she did not have flying skills.

"Ice Wing!" Ace immediately flew toward her, trying to save her. "Scarlett!"

She was not surprised when she saw him trying to save her because she knew he would do that.

His dream was to protect her forever, so it was normal if he tried to save her.

Actually, she hoped he did not try to save her because she did not want something bad to happen to him.

The canyon was not an ordinary one because she felt like she was being sucked into the bottom of the canyon.

Yes, she felt like the canyon was a huge vacuum trying to suck her to the bottom of the canyon!

This was the reason why she did not jump on the falling stone because she could not move her body freely.

"Scarlett!" with the help of his ice wing, Ace finally managed to catch her.

However, he had a hard time flying up after catching her. The sucking power of the canyon was so strong, and he was carrying her, so it was much harder for him to fly up.

It could be said he was enduring pressure for two people. "Hii."

He felt like he was trying to fly under the pressure of gravity. Of course, he did not give up because his grandfather told him not to give up in any situation.

*Crack…Crack…

Crack lines appeared on his ice wing.

"Ace, stop this! There are crack lines on your ice wing. You can still fly up if you let me fall into this canyon." Scarlett did not want him to die with her, so she told him to let her fall into the canyon.

Cracking lines kept appearing on his ice wing, so she knew they would fall together if he kept trying to save her.

"Stop saying that! Whatever happens, I won't let you fall into this canyon." He tried his best to fly up.

He could not use his magic in this situation because casting magic spells required concentration.

*Crack…Crack…

At this moment, his ice wing nearly shattered.

[The Great Sage, The Equal of Heaven is biting his nails, worrying about your safety.]

[Goddess Teressa pays attention to you.]

[Several divine beings sigh.]

At this moment, several Gods and Goddess thought Ace and Scarlett would die because Ace didn't have any cards to use to help him in this situation.

"Your ice wings nearly shattered now. It's fine, Ace. I won't blame you. I'm already happy because you tried to save me. If it continues like this, both of us will die later." Scarlett tried to get him to change his mind because he was too young to die.

Ace ignored her because he would rather die with her than let her fall into the canyon.

She had been taking care of him and his predecessor until now, so there was no way he would just let her die.

He also had special feelings for her, so as a man, he had to protect his woman.

'I'm sure there must be a way to survive.'

As he was trying his best to fly up, a notification appeared.

[Host, there is a magic circle twenty meters away on your right. Go to that magic circle.]

The system did not know the use of the magic circle, but it was better to go to the magic circle than to fall to the bottom of the canyon.

In other words, the system told him to take a big gamble!

'Alright.'

Ace tried his best to fly toward the magic circle.

At this moment, his field of vision was only three meters because the canyon was filled with white mist.

But even so, he kept flying in the direction his system told him because he believed in his system.

'I believe we can survive!'

Ice shards kept falling from his ice wings.

However, he did not care about it and kept flying. At that time, what he had in mind was only one thing.

Reach the magic circle as quickly as possible!

After Scarlett saw ice shards falling from his ice wing, she buried her beautiful face in his chest.

'Ace…'

Even though she was in a life-and-death situation, there wasn't the slightest sign of fear in her eyes because she was in Ace's arms.

She even did not mind if they died later because she was with him.

'Ace, if we die today, let's be together again in next life.'

She slowly shut her eyes, leaving her life in Ace's hands.

At this moment, the distance between them and the magic circle was about twelve meters.

[Host, it's a teleportation magic circle.]

Happiness shimmered inside him when he knew it was a teleportation magic circle because, with this, there was a high possibility that they would survive later.

'Scarlett, we will survive.'

Like before, he tried his best to fly toward the magic circle.

*Ten meters…nine meters…eight meters…

It took a lot of effort for him to fly a meter because he was also carrying Scarlett.

*Seven meters…six meters…five meters…

[Host, the teleportation magic circle is five meters in front of you.]

The system kept giving him information around him because his field of vision was limited to only three meters.

When Ace saw a huge magic circle in front of him, he was even more certain that they could survive.

*Three meters…two meters…one meter…

Actually, Ace no longer had stamina left.

He was still able to fly due to his willpower.

'No! I can't faint now. The teleportation magic is right before my eyes.'

He shouted, gathering all the willpower within him.

"Aghhh…" his ice wing shattered into countless ice when he reached the teleportation magic circle.

Scarlett was still closing her eyes because she had decided to leave her life in his hands, so she did not know what was going on.

The magic circle emitted a very bright light when they fell onto it.

----

Unknown Place, Forest.

Scarlett was startled after opening her eyes.

'Where are we?'

She immediately turned her head to the left and right, looking for Ace.

When she saw him lying on the ground, she immediately helped him sit up. "Ace!"

"Cough, cough!" Ace's face was pale. "We survived, Scarlett."

[Ding! The quest is complete.]

[Ding! Host has received Defense and Attack Formation card. Host can find it in the inventory.]

'We finally managed to get out of Death Valley.'

He knew that they had managed to get out of Death Valley because the quest given by the system had already been completed.

"Let's find a safe place first." After saying that, she helped him walk.

And as if the Goddess of luck was on their side, they found an abandoned house not long after that.

She put him on a wooden bed before finally sitting on the edge of the bed. "Ace…"

Ace cupped her face using his right hand. "Don't be sad. I only need to rest for now."

"Then you should rest now so you can recover quickly." she replied, "I will cook dinner now."

"Un." Ace nodded his head.

To his surprise, Scarlett kissed his forehead before walking out of the house to cook dinner.

His face blossomed into a smile when he saw her back.

'It seems like my MILF is very concerned about my condition.'
