278  Meeting Evelyn Again

"Uaakkk…" Evelyn was thrown several meters before finally falling to the ground.

"Die!" the female and male tigers jumped at Evelyn, intending to tear her body apart with their claws.

But before their claws landed on her body, black and white dragons flew toward them at incredible speed.

Boom!

The tigers could not block it because they were focused on Evelyn.

"Who dares to attack me in secret!" the male tiger roared angrily.

"Me." Like a master in a martial arts movie, Ace slowly descended from the sky with his hands behind his back.

"Another human?" the female tiger showed its fangs.

Evelyn's eyes quivered when she saw a familiar back.

'That back…'

Even though she still had not seen his face, she knew who that person was.

That person was someone she had been thinking about.

That person was someone who was always in her heart.

And that person was someone who she missed every single day.

Ace!

Yes, she believed that person was Ace.

Sure, they did not see each other for almost a year, but there was not a single day where she did not think about him.

His face, his soft smile, and his behavior; she remembered everything vividly.

In this world, there were only two people who she cared deeply.

The first person was her master, and the second one was Ace. Both of them had a special place in her heart because they were very important to her.

"Ace…"Evelyn mused.

"You have injured her, so death is your punishment." After saying that, Ace swung his sword in a circular motion, leaving a trace of afterimages behind.

'Yin-Yang Dragon skill: Third form.'

The Yin and Yang dragon merged and created a huge golden dragon.

"Unique rank skill?" Evelyn was shocked when she saw Ace's skill.

Like Evelyn, the male and female tigers were also shocked.

"That skill is…" the female tiger's eyes quivered.

"What are you doing? Block it!" the male tiger shouted.

Even though the duo tried their best to block Ace's attack, but they still failed.

They were only at 3-star, and Ace's skill was at Unique rank, so they made a big mistake thinking they could block it.

"Uakk…" blood splashed out of their mouths before finally the tigers crashed against a big stone.

"I did not expect to die to-. " before the male tiger could finish his words, he died.

The female tiger also died shortly after that.

Everlyn, who was standing behind Ace, did not say anything and kept staring at his back.

She wanted to say something, but she felt like her words were stuck in her throat.

She wanted to run toward him and embrace him, but she felt like someone froze her feet with ice magic.

For this reason, she only looked at his back without saying a single word.

Even though Ace saw two beast cores floating above the corpses, he did not take it immediately; instead, he turned around to look at Evelyn.

She was the first person he met after transmigration into a new world, and they were separated for almost a year, so the value of these two beast cores was nothing compared to her.

That was why he turned around instantly because he had been waiting for this moment for almost a year.

"Evelyn…" right after his voice stopped, a wind brushed against their bodies, causing their hair and clothes to dance softly.

Not only that, but countless green, red, and orange leaves also fell from trees.

At that moment, the duo was surrounded by countless leaves as they looked each other in the eye.

If someone from Earth saw what was going on, the person would think it was staged because the atmosphere resembled a romantic scene in a movie.

Of course, it was not staged because they were in a different world. It just so happened that the atmosphere became romantic when they looked each other in the eye.

"Ace…" Evelyn remained in her place.

Unlike usual, Ace could not control himself this time.

He immediately approached her before finally embracing her tightly. "I can finally see you again."

Evelyn did not say anything, but she slowly wrapped her slender arms around his waist.

'Ace…'

She was thrilled because she finally could see and embrace him again.

After stopping the hug, Ace held her hands and looked at her. At this moment, countless questions suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, He did not ask a single question.

All he did was look at her and hold her hands.

"Ace, I…" Evelyn opened her mouth before finally closing it again.

She wanted to explain everything, but she did not know where to start.

"I…" she still could not explain anything.

Ace retrieved a health potion from his space ring and uttered, "Drink this first."

He did not force her to explain everything immediately because he could tell she could not do that for now.

He was already happy to see her again, so he decided to give her more time.

Evelyn looked at the health potion before returning her attention to his handsome face.

'Ace…'

She was touched by his actions.

Instead of throwing many questions at her, he only smiled softly and gave her a health potion.

This meant he did not change.

He was still a kind and caring young man she met several months ago.

'Thank you, Ace.'

She thanked him for understanding her.

After she drank the potion, Ace inquired, "Why did you fight these tigers?"

"I need ice lotus." She began explaining the reason why she was in Framingburns forest.

She said she came to Framingburns forest to find ice lotus. She fought these tigers because they said the ice lotus was theirs.

"I see. Then let's leave this place now." He did not ask why she looked for ice lotus.

"Un." She nodded her head.

After taking the beast cores, he returned to her and held her right hand.

Evelyn was shocked by his sudden action.

However, she did not say anything and only looked at him.

When he noticed it, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." She turned her head to the other side, but a tiny smile appeared on her pretty face shortly after that.
