System vs Rebirth

"Then, we will be off." Noel smiled at his pillars. "In my absence, Dimitri will be in charge of the family matter. Charlotte and Rose will directly help him. .net

"If you need anything, you can call Tristan and let him learn how to govern the territory as well. The rest of you, I hope you are able to help them and ensure the stability of the territory."

"Yes, sir!" They all nodded.

"Can I really do it?" Tristan looked down, wondering if this was the correct choice or not.

"I believe you can." Noel patted his shoulder. "Your ability lies in your memory. And it's one of the most powerful tools to do anything, whether you want to be strong or govern a territory. Make sure you learn well."

Noel had high expectations for Tristan. He thought Tristan was able to govern the territory while being a Rune Meister. Once that happened, Tristan could leave both the Rune Academy and Runegard Company and become a full-fledged noble under him. He was even prepared to make him a baron as soon as he was qualified for that position.

In the end, creating his own noble was a much better option than letting the royal family interfere.

"I understand. I will do my best so as to not disappoint you, Teacher." Tristan nodded.

"Good." Noel nodded before waving his hand. "In that case, everyone. We'll be off."

Dimitri nodded while saying, "May fortune bless you with its presence, Master."

The others lowered their heads. Not only Livia, but Elaine was also there. Despite being a former enemy, she truly believed that Noel was one of the greatest lords in history.

Besides, after all her work, the burden on her family had lessened. And if this continued, her territory might even have the chance to use the train. That was why Elaine chose to work hard under her former enemy.

As expected, a few people were sneakily observing them. They immediately sent the words about Noel, Anna, and Incetta leaving for the Zaecuria Kingdom.

…

Royal Palace.

"So Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze have left their city. This is our chance. If we can hit them where it is hard, we will be able to crush the Ardagan family before they return." Duke Raymond smiled.

"We need to investigate a bit more instead of attacking immediately. Don't forget that Noel Ardagan must have mobilized his people in secret, positioning them in a way he can trap us."

"That's right. It's not like they are going back in less than a month. We have a lot of time, so it's better if we prepare thoroughly before doing anything. We can't afford another mess."

The nobles in the royal palace, who wanted to take down Noel, agreed with the preparation.

Noel had repeatedly beaten them, so they really had no choice but to be careful.

…

Supreme Devil Organization.

"Should we make a move then?" Alexander asked.

"I think it's best not to do anything yet. We know that the Ardagan family has been increasing their power through their train project. If we attack there, we might not succeed."

"I can destroy the train. After all, I'm the Spirit Transcendence expert in this place." Alexander raised his eyebrows.

"I'm telling you to wait because Oscar might have been waiting for you to do exactly that." Josephine shook her head helplessly. If that's the case, you might get injured. In the worst-case scenario, the Demon Banner Army will destroy several of our branches, weakening the strength we have just got. Besides, the damage we can do there is minimal.

"No. It might help him. People will think that his train is so safe that we need a Spirit Transcendence Expert to harm it. What do you think people will do?

"They will ignore the fact that the Supreme Devil Organization is targeting this train. Instead, they will think that once Noel and Anna are back, they can utilize their trains like there's no tomorrow. After all, there is only the Supreme Commander of the Demon Banner Army and the Grand Marshall who have the same strength as you.

"Instead, what we should do right now is wait. The royal family will be much more desperate than us, so they will have no choice but to poke first."

"Is that so?" Alexander looked down, falling into deep thought.

…

Tower Association.

"We can't do this anymore. As long as the Magic Lord is in this place, we can't gain any advantage. How can we even do this? We have to eliminate the Magic Lord first."

"How can we even do that? He is extremely careful after knowing our method."

"But he can't openly act against us."

"Still, because of him, the Supreme Elder System has now become invalid."

"The Ardagan family has lost their strongest fighters, so this will be the chance for us to go against them."

"But what am I supposed to do?"

"By the way, where is the Thunder Lord?"

"Now that I think about it, where is he? Is he sick?"

The elders were confused.

Meanwhile, the Lightning Lord in their mouth was currently facing a big predicament. His body was covered in injuries as the Magic Lord was choking his neck.

He had exhausted all his strength, unable to fight the Magic Lord anymore.

The Water Lord was there as a witness. And more importantly, there was a glass of water on the table.

It was just a glass of water with no poison in it. But the water was actually purple instead of transparent. It was as if something was mixed in.

"Can you explain yourself, eh? Why would the water indicate you are a demon? And during the whole fight, you can't even use your famous lightning element. Thunder Lord. Answer me, are you a demon or a human?" The Magic Lord was glaring at him, his dark expression already giving the answer.

The Thunder Lord gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't think this will be over."

"I don't, but I'll make sure to clean up this association from the likes of demons." The Magic Lord applied more pressure and crushed the Thunder Lord's neck and his body, killing him.
