System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1105 Important Matter

Roar!

Roar!

The demons let out their last roars before falling to the ground. Their bodies had been sliced by a sword strike, which ultimately split them into two.

The one who did it was standing before them, sheathing her sword.

Anna took a deep breath and said, ”The enemies have become a lot easier to kill.”

”Of course. Youʼre not getting bored because of that, right?” Noel gave a wry smile.

”Not really. I mean, there is still an opponent like that spider. Even if we have found this transcendent path, it doesnʼt seem like itʼs just a single path. It has a lot of branches, and we might have to choose which one to master.”

”Indeed. For now, letʼs discover everything and test them. Weʼll master one thing at a time. At the very least, we can advance to the Spirit Transcendence stage with this power. All we need now is…” Noel looked at the demons.

”The demon crystals, huh? What is your current progress? Are you about to reach Spirit Transcendence?”

”Iʼm not sure. Itʼs very close to full, but I canʼt sense how much more I need.” Noel shook his head.

”Since you donʼt have Ardagan right now, you have to be the first one to become Spirit Transcendence. Itʼll become much safer even for me when itʼs my turn to advance to that level.”

”I know.” Noel fell into deep thought.

”Is there something wrong?”

”No, Iʼm just thinking that we have gotten the transcendent path as well as the Rune Card in this trip. There are a lot of things to process. And if you consider the fact that weʼll become Spirit Transcendence experts once we return, this trip is very fulfilling.”

”Thatʼs true. We can somehow hide our power so that we look like a Spirit Grandmaster, but it wonʼt last long.” Anna nodded in agreement, knowing the problem.

”Yeah. I also expect that… Having two Spirit Transcendences in the north breaks the delicate balance of the kingdom. They will definitely try their best to grasp our power or use the Supreme Devil Organization to boost their own power.” Noel let out a long sigh.

”You will be buried with a mountain of work like deployment, strategic battle, and so on. Iʼll help, but unfortunately, my current level is still not on the same level as yours.” Anna fell silent for a moment before saying, ”Noel… is it possible for the kingdom to use another marriage trick?”

”Mhmm? Are you doubting me that I will go for another woman?”

”No. Iʼm not talking about that.” Anna shook her head helplessly. ”What if theyʼre using a dirty trick so that you will end up conceiving a child?”

”Huh?” Noelʼs expression turned serious. He wanted to rebuke her right away, but he couldnʼt because he understood what she was talking about. They could use all kinds of tricks, from temptation, alcohol, or even drugs, to somehow make him sleep with a woman.

While he had some assurance that such a thing would never happen, the chance was still there. The biggest problem was that his family bloodline only gave him a single child.

If the royal family had figured that out, it wouldnʼt be weird for them to use that trick. It was why Anna looked anxious.

Still, he had promised her not to do that for various reasons.

”Are you talking about…” Noel stopped, seeing Annaʼs serious expression.

”Iʼve been thinking about it. In any case, Iʼll soon become a Spirit Transcendence and you will soon have a lot of work that you wonʼt have time to even practice. I think itʼs worth the shot. I mean, we both are already pretty old. We turned 24 years old a month ago and most people conceived their first child at the age of 16 to 17.”

Noel fell silent for a moment. This was indeed not an easy decision. Anna must be thinking about this seriously because of what happened not long ago. What if he died again?

”Well, there are other forms of training aside from physical training…” Noel let out a long sigh.

”Then…” Annaʼs expression brightened as her eyes were filled with expectations.

”For now, weʼll be very busy with things such as the auction, the beast kingdom, and even the expedition. But after that…” Noel paused.

The hint was as clear as the day. Anna clenched her fists. ”I understand.”

”In that case, weʼll have to ask Duke Briton so that the expedition can happen as quickly as possible. You have to work even harder from now on, you know.” Noel smiled.

”Yes!” Annaʼs smile became even bigger.

”I just hope that there arenʼt a lot of nobles that are trying to immediately give birth to a daughter after hearing the news. After all, the main city is already open to the public at that time and people will find out about it.” Noel let out a long sigh.

”Ahahaha. Youʼre talking about an arranged marriage?”

”Yeah. In any case, I donʼt like placing that kind of expectation.”

”I donʼt really mind.” Anna chuckled.

”Anyway, we shouldnʼt talk about this. If we donʼt hurry up, we might end up taking too long to have another match against that spider.” Noel stood up.

”Indeed.” Anna nodded. ”By the way, whatʼs the condition of the city? Dimitri has given you the report, right?”

”Donʼt worry. The city is performing much better than our original expectations. We donʼt know the result since the winter will last for another month, but we should get a pretty good result.”

”Thatʼs a relief then.” Anna felt like all the burdens in her heart had been lifted completely. Hence, she could focus on reaching the Spirit Transcendence.

Noel only smiled and started moving again, killing as many demons as possible.

It took them a few more days, but Noel had finally filled up all 17:28

his energy reserves required to advance to the Spirit Transcendence.

Obviously, Noel chose a plain field so that it would be easy to spot all the incoming beasts.

Anna was standing next to him to protect him against all harm.

However, Noel didnʼt know about one thing. Advancing to the Spirit Transcendence was much crazier than all the breakthroughs he had experienced. And that would bring him yet another problem.
