Chapter 169 Our Protector Is Amazing!



"Sorry for coming late." Ace said as he blocked the ogre's attack.

Ace was relieved when he knew that all the members of group C were still alive. Sure, they were injured, but none of them died.

Bella instantly opened her eyes when she heard Ace's voice. "Protector?"

"Protector!"

"Protector!"

"Protector!"

Like Bella, Mike and the others were pleased when they saw him.

Because Ace had appeared, they believed they could survive because he was a powerful awakener.

"Thank god."

"I'm glad we were able to hold him off until our protector appeared." 

"We survived."

They fell on their butts because they no longer had stamina and energy left.

"You guys did a good job." Ace spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Take a rest and treat your injuries now. Leave this ogre to me."

The ogre was furious.

But what made him so angry was that group C behaved as if Ace could save them.

He disliked this.

He hated this.

He was already at 3-star and had killed many powerful awakeners.

He was strong.

He was powerful, so they should not behave like that.

They should not underestimate him because the outcome of the battle had yet to be decided.

They still did not know who would win the fight later.

This was the reason why he was enraged by group C. "Humannn…"

"Don't shout! You are hurting my ears." After saying that, Ace kicked the ogre.

Boom!

The sound of the ogre crashing against a big tree reverberated in the entire area.

Even though he did not use his skill, but his kick was strong because his strength was already at level 56.

"Agghhh…" a powerful aura burst out of his body as the ogre screamed.

Ace used the Lightning Move skill and appeared behind the ogre. "I've told you to stop shouting. Why did you scream again?"

Like before, the ogre was thrown several meters after being kicked by him.

Even though Ace had attacked him twice, but the ogre was still fine. He was not even injured, as if his body was made of steel.

"Again and again! Human, you managed to make me angry. Now you have to bear the consequences." After saying that, the ogre rushed toward Ace.

"You talk a lot!" Ace stated.

As Ace was fighting the ogre, group C took that chance to treat their injuries.

*Gulp…Gulp…Gulp…

ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Mike and the others drank small Health Potions.

Shortly after that, their conditions got better. 

Of course, they still had not fully recovered yet, but they could fight again now.

"I feel much better now." Mike stated.

"Me too." Lara and the others uttered in unison.

Ace's clone, who stood next to them, spoke abruptly. "Just stay here. Don't ever think of helping him because he doesn't need it."

Mike and the others nodded their heads.

They also had no intention of helping him because he had the upper hand in his fight against the ogre.

They even believed Ace would win the fight in less than ten minutes because the ogre was beaten up by him continuously.

'As expected of our protector, he is amazing.'

They praised Ace in their minds.

"Let's move somewhere farther away, or else we will get hit by their attacks later." Ace's clone uttered. 

Group C agreed instantly.

At first, they stood under trees, but it only lasted for two minutes before finally they decided to sit on tree branches.

When Bella saw Ace beating the ogre continuously, she said happily, "Good! Keep beating him, protector. Beat him up! Beat him up!"

She was happy to see the ogre being beaten up by Ace because the ogre tried to kill her many times earlier.

If Ace's clone and her team had not protected her, she would have been dead by now. That was why she was thrilled.

"Haha." Mike and the others laughed when they saw her behavior.

Of course, they knew the reason why she acted like that because they knew how deep her hatred for that ogre was.

"Why are you laughing like that? Is there something funny?" Bella inquired.

"Nothing." Mike and the others responded in unison.

"That ogre is nothing to our protector." Bella spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "I'm sure our protector will kill him in five minutes."

"Four minutes." Jenny uttered.

"Three minutes!" Samuel said.

"Two minutes." Lara spoke.

"What are you talking about? You guys are underestimating our protector." Mike joined the fun. "One minute! Based on his condition, that ogre will die in a minute."

"You are wrong!" Zak stated. "If our protector wants it, he can kill that ogre now. Have you forgotten that our protector has tier-5 magic? I'm sure that ogre will die immediately if he gets hit by that magic."

Mike and the others suddenly remembered the time when Ace used Great Lightning Dragon magic.

At that time, the sky suddenly grew dark, and a terrifying aura filled the battlefield. His magic was so frightening to the point that it caused their bodies to tremble in fear.

"You are right." Mike and the others uttered.

As group C was chatting, the ogre was beaten up by Ace continuously.

"Uaaakkk…" Blood splashed out of the ogre's mouth after getting hit by Ace's attack.

'Why? Why can't I beat him? Why am I getting beaten up by him?'

He found it hard to believe what was happening.

He was a powerful ogre, but here, he was beaten up by Ace continuously. He even could not injure Ace.

It was as if he was a kid who fought an adult.

'How did it all end like this?'

He rose to his feet and fought Ace again.

However, the result was still the same.

He got beaten up by Ace!

'Why? Why? Why? Why?'

He had fought many people and mythical creatures, but it was his first time getting beaten up one-sidedly like that.

Sure, he lost the fight a few times, but at that time, his opponents were also heavily injured.

However, his fight against Ace was different. 

Not only did he get beaten up one-sidedly, Ace even looked like he was still not serious because he fought calmly since the beginning.

'Is he too strong, or am I too weak?'

That was the question that appeared in his mind. 

Bang!

The ogre fell to his knees after getting hit by Thunderbolt magic.

Ace, who was standing in front of the ogre, uttered, "Hey, get up now. Our fight is not over yet."

He didn't kill the ogre immediately on purpose because he wanted to torture the ogre first before killing him.

"Kill me now!" the ogre did not want to stand up because Ace would beat him up again.

He also did not beg for forgiveness because he saw himself as a warrior.

Warriors may die on the battlefield, but they would not ruin their honor as warriors by begging for forgiveness. 

They would rather die than beg for forgiveness.

This was the reason why the ogre asked Ace to kill him immediately because he knew he could not defeat Ace.

However, Ace did not grant his wish because he wanted group C to be the one to kill the ogre.

'I will let them kill this ogre.'

When he was about to call Mike and the others, the injured 3-star leopard appeared. "Human, where are you? Our fight is not over yet!"
