System vs Rebirth

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The demons came out of the facility, only to be besieged by a lot of knights from the Demon Banner Army. Even the Stone Lord used his golem to smash a lot of them to show that he was cooperating with the Demon Banner Army.

Milfa didn't use all her strength in this fight since it wouldn't be good to show such strength to the Stone Lord.

Only a handful of individuals knew about her true strength after all.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, two more Superior Demons came out of the hole and ultimately got killed by the three captains and Stone Lord.

The rest of the demons had been routed, and the nest was completely cleared.

It seemed that the nest had more than five Superior Demons due to them taking drugs from the facility. The demons didn't understand the worth of the drugs, but it was enough for the Demon Banner Army.

After all, the drugs would be useful for research. If they could somehow replicate some drugs that could enhance their strength without side effects, they might be able to grow their strength even further. Although they had to share it with the Tower Association and the Royal Family, they didn't mind since the growth of the kingdom would be better than their own.

Even Noel desired such a thing, considering his true enemies were the demons instead of anyone else. Though, he didn't forget the grudge he had with the Royal Family.

And Noel was planning to make a copy of the layout of the facility since he had explored everything. He planned to give this blueprint to the Third Prince.

With Noel's brain, it was easy to know that the Third Prince would be stealing some drugs from here. But he wouldn't steal many of them since it would just force the Royal Family to move. So, Noel didn't really mind if there were a few missing.

In fact, Noel had another hidden plan for this blueprint.

After taking care of the expedition, he finally had the chance to rest. Dimitri told him that someone wanted to meet him in the forest. So, he thought Milfa wanted to say something to him.

But to his surprise, the moment he went into the forest, he found a woman of his age waiting for him. She was none other than Anna.

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in surprise. "Huh? Anna?"

Noel hadn't met Anna this whole time for two reasons. He couldn't leave the army easily and the one he met back then was her father. So, he didn't have any reason to visit her.

Surprisingly, Anna appeared this time with the help of Dimitri. Anna obviously didn't have the power to move Dimitri. So, he realized that her father was nearby.

With the relationship between the two family heads, it was no surprise that Kevin knew Dimitri.

Anna put on a gentle smile. "It's been a while, Noel."

"Yeah, it's been a while. However, I never thought you would visit me like this." Noel nodded with a calm expression. He observed her movement, but he hadn't used his Affection Medal this entire time.

For the time being, he had been cooperating with Anna without using it. Even Rose's Affection was an incident since she entered his line of sight before he could change his medal.

He had refrained himself from using the medal with his allies. After all, it would just cause friction in his heart. Of course, people related to his allies were a different case like Harley or Kevin Stargaze. He had to be wary of them.

When observing her, he realized that Anna had become a Spirit Master as well. He didn't know how Anna had reached this stage. In fact, he wanted to fight her once again to see whether he had become stronger than her or not with all the new abilities he had.

But his instinct seemed to be telling him that it wouldn't be an easy fight and that victory wouldn't be guaranteed.

Anna made breaking through to Spirit Master look easy, but she seemed to have extensive knowledge and a solid foundation to do it without any setbacks. There was a deeper secret Anna had.

Even though he was constantly thinking about it, he wouldn't go all the way to investigate Anna about it. He respected her that much at the very least.

Noel thought for a moment and asked, "It's not like you to visit me this way. So, I guess you have an important thing to tell me…"

"I guess I can't hide it from you." Anna smiled and raised two fingers. "I actually have two purposes. The first is the usual… Information Exchange."

"Ah." Noel nodded in understanding. Even though they were only separated for a month, a lot of things occurred, especially after the rune books were spread.

| сom "Then, we will see who has more information. The usual bet." Noel nodded. He had exchanged some information with Anna before meeting Harley, but due to the situation, they didn't have time to make a bet. Since the exploration had finished, he should have had some time to make a small bet.

However, Anna shook her head. "That was what I wanted at first. But I don't have time for that… Instead, I'm just going to tell you about the situation the kingdom is facing… Though, the information mostly comes from my father."

"Well, thank you for the honesty." Noel never thought Anna refused to take credit since having a father like that was still within her ability.

"After the books are spread in all kingdoms, we have seen their intention. The Greenwood Kingdom is planning to see whether they can befriend you or not. But as you said, you should be careful with their princes and princesses."

"The other two kingdoms are waiting for the Greenwood Kingdom for the time being while trying to investigate the Ardagan Family. If you planned to rebuild your family, they would most likely come to your doorstep."

"Also, the Royal Family is chaotic right now because of this matter. I'm afraid they are going to dispatch people to learn about your situation. Once they investigate it properly, they might find out sooner or later that you are still alive."

"Yeah. I understand that. Thank you for the information." Noel nodded. "I will also share some information—"

Before Noel finished his words, she stopped him. "Let me tell you about my second purpose first. I want to have a bet with you…"
