Chapter 1140: Truth

Name:System vs Rebirth Author:


Noel, Anna, and Incetta were sitting inside the room Noel rented in the city. Noel's expression turned solemn, as if he were about to say something important.

Noel couldn't help but ask, "Why did you seal your soul into the weapon, Miss Vivi?"

They had agreed that Incetta would be the one conveying her words. "Before I answer that question, I'd like to know something from you first. And also, call me Vivi. There's no need for honorifics. I call the king by his name, because I don't mind if people call me casually as well. I'm sure it's annoying to deal with a thousand-year-old woman like me."

Noel closed his eyes for a moment. "I understand, Vivi. Please ask me anything. I'll answer it to the best of my ability."

"Why are you so desperate to look for people that you accept everyone just because you feel like it?"

"What do you mean? I'm not just accepting everyone."

"Don't lie. This girl is the reason why I came to that conclusion. I can see that you have planned to recruit this girl from the beginning. I don't know the reason, but your eyes are similar to the boss when he wanted someone in his group."

Noel hesitated as this matter was hard to explain, especially to an outsider. He didn't mind if Vivi knew about it, but Incetta had just joined the Ardagan family.

"It seems that you have your own reason. But feel free to share it if it's regarding a demon. If not, I'll ask a different question."

Noel glanced at Anna. This had never happened in their previous lives, so they didn't know what kind of effect it would have.

After exchanging nods, Noel answered, "Two words. Demon King."

"!!!" Incetta looked surprised, but Vivi didn't have any change of expression as though she had expected it. "Time?"

Noel noticed her calmness in that question and continued, "Three to five years."

Incetta waited for a moment as if Vivi were thinking about something. After a momentary silence, Vivi explained, "In the past, Alex fought and defeated the Demon King. However, he didn't manage to kill that damned bastard.

"Due to Alex's worsening condition after losing Margaretha, Ray chose to tell me about his plan. As long as the demon king didn't die, the demon king would re-emerge again in the far future.

"Thus, we had to prepare for the future, which was to prepare our descendants. Unfortunately, not a single one of my descendants seemed to be able to awaken me or have forgotten me."

"Are there people inside?"

"Yes. From what I know, they have been recovered. Those who are unfrozen end up dying or in a coma with no signs of waking up." Noel felt a bit overwhelmed. More and more information about this world started to get connected in his mind.

"Haha. Lucky for me not to choose that option. Nevertheless, my objective is to train my descendant to kill the demon king. After knowing about it, it seems that Ray's plan has succeeded. Have you received the inheritances of those three?"

"Those three?" Noel tilted his head in confusion.

"Alex, Margaretha, and Ray."

"What kind of inheritance are you talking about?" Noel asked.

"Alex should have left behind a trial. He entrusted it to Nico. Margaretha kept it a secret. I only heard of it being related to Alex's. As for Ray, he should be in his tomb."

"I have visited the tomb. As for my ancestor... I don't think I've gone to the Beast Kingdom. And I'm planning to go there in one month since the requirement is to reach this rank first."

"Another kingdom? Don't tell me, Nico retired as a ruler over there? Still, a spirit transcendence, huh? I don't know much about the details, but it's fine, I guess."

"I see." Noel nodded in understanding. It seemed that the books were not the real inheritance. They were only made such to make their enemies think they had gotten the inheritances.

"Anyway, entrust this kid to me. I'll show her hell. I don't know if we have enough time to make her a spirit transcendence or not, but she will definitely become useful in your fight against the demon king. We're not planning to repeat the same mistake. This time, we will achieve a complete victory."

"I know that you dislike formality, but as the head of the Ardagan family, allow me to express my gratitude. After all those problems in the past, you have sealed yourself for a thousand years. And I know that you have done so much for the Ardagan family, and no one has the right to ask you to fight again." Noel stood up and lowered his head. "And I'm asking..."

"Tsk. Your aura is like Alex, but your action is similar to Margaretha. If it's Alex, he would simply say, 'Just shut up and follow me. I'll punch you if you say no.'"

Noel scratched the back of his head.

Vivi smiled as if she were looking at Alex and Margaretha in Noel. Talking to him really made her feel nostalgic. She asked, "What do you need, kid?"

"I need your assistance to make sure that the tragedy doesn't happen for the third time."
