"Hahaha." Dezmavas attacked Ace while laughing happily.

Even though he still had not managed to kill Ace, he was thrilled because his subordinates had the upper hand in the war.

They even could kill many citizens every minute, so it was only a matter of time before they won the war.

"Hahaha." Dezmavas was not angry when Ace could avoid and block his attacks because his goal now was to stop Ace from saving the citizens.

Ace could not focus on their fight because he kept thinking about the safety of the citizens, so he believed he could kill Ace later.

'I will just wait for a good opportunity to kill him to appear.'

Dezmavas said in his head.

As Dezmavas was fighting against Ace in the sky, the citizens died one by one.

"Aagghh.."

"Aagghh.."

"Aagghh.."

"Aagghh.."

The sound of the citizens' screams of pain could be heard in every area of the battlefield.

Ace, who heard it, instantly turned his head toward the source of the sound. At that moment, he forgot that Dezmavas was right before him.

No!

Saying he forgot about Dezmavas was not right.

The citizens were important to Nightshire City, so his body reached on its own when he heard their screams.

"Uakkk.." Captain Noah coughed up blood after getting hit by Vianola.

"Die, human!" after saying that, Vianola jumped at him, intending to kill him.

Captain Noah was heavily injured, so he could not do anything when he saw Vianola jumping at him.

'City mistress, I'm sorry. It seems like I can't protect our city anymore.'

He could not block or avoid it, so he accepted his fate immediately.

However, it was a different story for Ace.

He did not want Captain Noah to die, so he instantly used one of his skills to attack Vianola.

'Moon Slice.'

He swung his sword, sending a huge wave of energy at Vianola.

"Uaakk.." before Vianola could kill Captain Noah, she got hit by Ace's attack, causing her to be thrown several meters from where she was.

Captain Noah immediately turned toward Ace.

'Ace?'

He saw Ace several meters from him.

"Ace, behind you!" Captain Noah screamed when he saw Dezmavas behind Ace.

Boom!

The sound of Ace being thrown into the ruins of houses echoed throughout the area.

Even though he managed to block Dezmavas' attack, he was still thrown several meters because Dezmavas' attack was powerful.

"Cough..Cough.." Ace wiped the blood from the corner of his lips before finally flying toward Dezmavas again.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Ace and Dezmavas fought fiercely again.

But unlike before, Dezmavas had the upper hand in the fight this time.

Ace kept looking at the citizens when he fought Dezmavas, so he did not fight as well as before.

[God of Wind utters, boy, focus on the fight.]

[God of Mountain speaks, he keeps worrying about the safety of the citizens.]

[God of Sea says, well, it can't be helped. A city without its citizens is meaningless because it will become a dead city.]

All the divine beings knew that Ace carried a great responsibility on his shoulders because he was the strongest awakener in their city.

"Mrs Lexie, be careful!"

"Protect Mrs. Lexie!"

"Mrs. Lexie!"

Several of Ace's underlings screamed when they saw Lexie in danger.

Like before, Ace instantly turned his head to see what was going on.

He had promised Alena to protect Lexie, so he lost his focus when he heard Lexie was in danger.

"It seems like you are really worried about their safety." after saying that, Dezmavas attacked Ace with his tail.

Even though it was a surprise attack, Ace managed to block it.

'Ice Clone.'

He created one clone and ordered it to protect Lexie.

"Go to hell, human." A 3-star bear roared as he tried to kill Lexie.

Bang!

Ace's clone kicked the 3-star bear before he could kill Lexie.

Lexie was startled when she saw Ace's clone. "Ace?"

"Are you alright, lady Lexie?" Ace inquired.

"I'm fine, but.." she immediately lifted her head to look at the real Ace.

'Ace?'

She saw Ace fighting against Dezmavas in the sky.

'Am I a burden?'

She suddenly felt like a burden because Ace had to use his clone to save her.

"Don't worry. The real me is fine." Ace's clone uttered.

"Un." After nodding her head, Lexie started attacking magical beasts again.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

As Ace was fighting against Dezmavas, his system analyzed him.

[Analyzing Host's situation..Analyzing Host's feelings..Analyzing Host's desires..90% compatibility. Criteria met.]

[Ding! Activating emergency mode.]

The system's creator made an emergency mode to help Ace deal with difficult situations.

The emergency mode could only be triggered based on Ace's situation, feelings, and desires.

Of course, there was a price to pay after using this feature, but the system would not disappear.

After activating emergency mode, it would only sleep for an unknown amount of time.

[Ding! Mission: kill five thousand magical beasts and show everyone that depending on you is the right choice.]

[Ding! Mission failed.]

[Ding! Mission: kill ten 3-star magical beasts.]

[Ding! Mission failed.]

[Ding! Mission: save some people in a cool way.]

[Ding! Mission failed.]

[Ding! Mission: Kill Dezmavas and cut off his head.]

[Ding! Mission failed.]

[Ding! Checking inventory.]historical

[Ding! Found four cards.]

[Ding! Checking all cards: Judgment card (1), Prayer of Healing (1), Divine Throne card (1), Lie Detector card (1).]

[Ding! Choosing cards to help Host based on the situation.]

[Ding! Three cards are chosen.]

Ace was startled when he saw many notifications.

'What's going on?'

That was the question that suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Host, emergency mode has been activated. Host can use all features again now.]

'Emergency mode?'

He was shocked.

[My creator added emergency mode when she created me. This mode can only be activated based on the Host's situation, feelings, and desires.]

'Then, activate the Energy Replenishment feature and Recovery feature.'

Even though Ace had many questions in his mind, he saved it for later.

'Heal all my injuries and replenish all my energy.'

[Ding! Twenty gold coins have been used to heal Host's wounds.]

[Ding! Fifty gold coins have been used to replenish Host's energy.]

'Good!'

Ace was happy.

"What?!" Dezmavas was surprised when Ace's wounds suddenly healed.

'Did he learn healing magic?'

That was the question that suddenly appeared in his mind.

'Then why didn't he heal his injuries earlier?'

He had no idea about Ace's system, so he was curious why Ace did not heal his wounds earlier.

"Human, I did not know you had healing magic." Of course, Dezmavas did not panic because they still had the upper hand in the war.

Ace did not say anything and only stared at Dezmavas.

"But it's meaningless because you can't change the outcome of a war alone." Dezmavas still believed they would win the war because, from his point of view, it was already impossible to turn the tables.

"You are wrong." Ace responded calmly.

"Human, look around you." Dezmavas spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "My subordinates are killing the citizens now. There is no way you can change the outcome of the war."

Ace stored his sword in his space ring and uttered, "Then I will show you how I will change the outcome of the war."
