[Ding! Host has discovered Ice Clone spell book. Do you want to learn it?]

'Yes.'

He answered in his head.

Memories relating to the Ice Clone magic suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt as if he had mastered the Ice Clone magic since a long time ago.

[Ding! Host has discovered Ice Wing spell book. Do you want to learn it?]

'Yes.'

He gave the same answer.

Like before, the memories relating to Ice Wing magic appeared in his head.

'Good! I can use four magics now.'

Even though he only knew four magics, but he was still happy.

He rose to his feet and walked toward the entrance.

He remembered that lightning would only appear if he came out of the cave

"Ice clone." He wanted to use his clone to scout the area.

Death Valley was a dangerous place, so he decided to use his clone to scout the area because, with this, he could scout the area without worrying about getting hurt.

An ice clone appeared next to him before finally nodding his head and walking out of the cave.

Boom!

After taking three steps from the cave entrance, red lightning struck his clone.

His ice clone instantly broke into pieces.

'Hmm?'

Ace touched his chin.

'System, scan this area.'

He suddenly suspected something.

[Ding! Scanning is in progress.]

All the information within fifty meters around him was instantly sent to his mind after the system finished scanning the area.

'There are two types of ground; broken ground and cracked ground.'

Ace sat down and drew a ground plan based on the information given by the system.

'Mm? Why is it like chessboard?'

He looked at the ground plan carefully.

[Several divine beings want to know what you are doing.]

[A divine being, who is good at strategizing, pays attention to you.]

[A goddess, who holds a spear and shield, stares at you.]

'Let me try it.'

Ace used his ice-clone magic again.

"Do it." He uttered.

His ice clone nodded his head.

Ace calmly paid attention to his clone and the ground in front of the cave.

'If my guess is right, then the lightning won't strike my clone.'

His ice clone jumped onto the cracked ground.

Ace shifted his gaze from his clone to the sky above his clone.

'Is my guess wrong?'

That was the question that appeared in his head when he saw a magic circle above his ice clone.

*Zzzzttt…

Red lightning came out of the magic circle.

When Ace thought the lightning would strike his clone, something unexpected happened.

The lightning only danced in the magic circle!

He was pleased when the lightning did not strike his ice clone.

'I see. That magic circle above my clone is just to trick the target, so that the target will move to the broken ground.'

If people did not know it, they would think the lightning dancing in the magic circle would strike down.

[Several divine beings are amazed by your calculation.]

[A divine being who is good at strategizing smiles at you.]

[A goddess who holds a spear and shield is interested in you.]

"Mark it!" he ordered his ice clone to mark the safe area.

His ice clone drew an O in the safe area.

Ace looked at his drawing again.

'Then it's indeed like a chessboard. The broken ground is dangerous, while the cracked ground is safe.'

He returned his attention to his clone again.

In order to make sure his guess was one hundred percent correct, he told his clone to jump onto all the cracked ground.

The smile on his face grew bigger when the red lightning did not strike his clone.

'Good! I finally know how to avoid that lightning strike.'

Like before, Ace ordered his clone to mark all the safe areas.

At the same time, Scarlett finally regained consciousness.

"Ace…" Scarlett sat up.

"Scarlett?" Ace turned around before finally rushing toward her.

"Where are we? What happened to these two old men?" she did not know what had happened to Gideon and Jason because she fainted earlier.

"I killed them." He gave an honest answer.

"How did you kill them?" she asked curiously.

"It's like this..." He made up a story.

He said a 3-star magical beast suddenly appeared when they were about to take her. When they were heavily injured, he took the opportunity to kill them.

He decided to lie to her because he could not reveal his system to her. His system was his trump card, so he would not reveal it to anyone no matter what.

"And where are we?" she repeated her question.

"We…" he wavered whether he should tell the truth or not.

"We?" she did not get it because he did not finish his words.

After thinking for several seconds, he decided to tell the truth. "We are in the Death Valley."

"What?! Death Valley?" of course, she knew about Death Valley. "How did we end up in the Death Valley?"

"Previously, we were chased by fifteen hyenas, so I…" he felt shy when he revealed the truth.

That was the reason why he could not finish his words because being chased by hyenas hurt his pride. After all, they were his prey in his previous life.

"I see." She did not blame him.

She was already happy that he did not abandon her.

'Hmm?'

Scarlett widened her eyes for a second.

'Master rank?'

She believed he was only at novice rank before she passed out.

"Ace, you are already at master rank?! How did you do that?" she found it hard to believe what was happening.

Two ranks!

He skipped elite rank and instantly broke through to master rank!

And what surprised her most was that he broke through from novice rank to master rank in less than three hours.

Something like this had never happened before.

If everyone knew about this, the Vlizica continent would be in an uproar because he was the first to achieve something impossible like that.

He could not answer her question immediately because he did not prepare an excuse earlier.

"Previously, God of Wind descended from heaven and helped me break through to master rank." He decided to lie because he could not find a good excuse.

[God of Wind turns his head to the other side and grimaces, saying you are a liar.]

Ace almost laughed after seeing the notification.

Scarlett stared at him.

Of course, she did not believe him because she could tell from his expression that he was lying to her.

"Don't look at me like that." He pinched her nose gently. "The most important thing is that I can protect you now."

"I hope you will tell me about it one day." She did not force him to reveal the truth.

"How are you feeling now?" he inquired.

"I'm feeling better." She responded, "Did you give me something earlier?"

"I gave you Vital of Redemption potion earlier." He gave an honest answer.

"Vital of Redemption potion? Where did you get it?" she believed he had no Vital of Redemption potion because she knew what was inside his space ring.

Ace pointed his right index finger at the skeleton in front of the stone tablet. "That skeleton. I took that's skeleton space ring."
