System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1267: Next Subjugation

"Congratulations!"

"Woah!"

"Amazing!"

"Is that the heavenly disaster?"

The city became very festive. People were cheering left and right as the main road was used to parade the snake's head.

People knew how terrifying the snake was. That was why the celebration was massive.

"Have you seen the snake's body?"

"I have. It's so huge that the snake's body covers almost the entire city. I never thought they would be able to take down such a thing."

"As expected of the Ui clan."

"We're also the Ui clan."

The people were cheering.

"Sorry for taking the credit like this," Sui apologized while looking at her sister leading the parade. Considering she was stronger, it would be more believable if she was the one taking down the snake.

"It's fine." Noel chuckled. "We fight for the sake of your clan right now, so it's fine. Besides, we have taken the cores, which is the most important thing."

Sui looked down, feeling bad.

After all, they were going to take down all the heavenly disasters within a month.

Noel patted Sui's head while saying, "I don't want your sister to leave with regrets. Besides, you need to get stronger because once your sister leaves, all the burden will be upon you."

"Mmmm." Sui nodded with a serious expression. "I will definitely work hard."

"Good. I will be looking forward to your achievements in the future, Sui."

"Yes!"

In the distance, the admiral, Anna, and Incetta were staring at them.

"Hahaha. They look like two brothers, don't you think?" The admiral chuckled.

"Well, Noel is a single child, so I'm sure that he is acting that way because of that very reason."

"Heh…" The admiral smiled. Even though Noel was a scary person in the political world, in this place, he was just a person who wanted to be the older brother.

Anna could imagine what would happen if he had a brother or a sister. Just like how he taught her, cared for her, and sacrificed for her in the previous life and in this life, their past would have been much different.

Since Sui was watching his sister happily, Noel returned to them while asking, "Admiral. How is the condition of our men?"

"They are in high spirits. Although they can't fight a lot, they're pretty excited right now. After all, allowing them to witness the battle between a spirit transcendence and an ancient demon alone would give them a lot of advantages. Some of them even realized something yesterday."

"That's good." Noel thought for a moment. "Injuries and casualties?"

"80 injured, but all of them are healing rapidly. Because you have taken care of most of the demons, there are only 5 deaths."

Noel nodded, satisfied with the numbers. "As I told you before, we would take out all their demon crystals. I will get the ancient demon crystals and the superior demon crystals. You guys take the rest.

"I hope we can bring back all those crystals not only for the return trip but also to cash them. Let those people get their share of crystals and make sure to compensate the fallen warriors."

The admiral smiled. He nodded. "Of course. The king will be happy since we have found the island. On top of those crystals, he will most likely give them other rewards, including promotions. That's why you don't have to worry about them. They will be rewarded properly."

"That's good."

"It's no wonder why your people love you. You truly care for the people under you, even though we're not from the same country."

Noel shrugged and turned to Incetta. "I and Anna should be reaching the limit for the superior demon crystals pretty soon. You should take the rest of the superior demon crystals."

"Are you sure about this? I…" Incetta looked down. She hadn't contributed much. Even on the ship, the admiral practically managed the ship most of the time.

"What are you talking about? You have done a lot. Ask both of them, and you will get the same answer." Noel pointed at Anna and the admiral. "However, giving you the demon crystals doesn't mean you're going to easily reach the spirit transcendence.

"You still need to polish your ability. Without enough understanding about your own power, you won't be able to reach this stage."

"I understand." Incetta nodded.

"Woah. Spirit transcendence… You truly hold nothing back. Isn't that woman, Rui, going back with us? And if she is also going to become a spirit transcendence, doesn't this mean your territory has four spirit transcendence experts?" The admiral widened his eyes in shock. "Your territory is basically the strongest, even toppling a kingdom."

Noel smiled. He knew where this conversation was going.

The admiral didn't know that there was another spirit transcendence in his territory. Nevertheless, it didn't change the fact that his territory had a power that could topple a kingdom.

If the people knew about this, they would think the Ardagan family would try to revolt.

He had been carefully manipulating the people's thoughts so that they wouldn't think much about it.

Still, not only the Muivel Kingdom, other kingdoms would definitely feel pressured with the Ardagan family having all that strength.

And it looked like Noel and Anna were planning to go one step further.

Just a single action from them might cause a kingdom to be destroyed.

Noel chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. I have never intended to take part in politics for a long time. In fact, I won't be in my own territory in the future."

Noel raised his head, looking through the window. "Just like this island, there are a lot of places that haven't been explored due to the demons.

"I want to explore the world, meet a lot of people with different cultures, and seek the truth behind the demons.

"I believe I will be able to achieve my true goal on that journey. I don't know how long it will take, but…" Noel's smile became even bigger, carrying his hope and confidence.

"Is that so?" The admiral closed his eyes. He would definitely report this to his king. Whether it was an assurance or not, they would definitely need it.

"Anyway, let's take our time to prepare for the next subjugation. I will be the one taking down the heavenly disaster in one week."

"Yes." The admiral nodded.

Little did they know, the subjugation this time would be much different from anything they could ever imagine.
