System vs Rebirth

Chapter 697 Information

”Mhm…” Noel let out a moan as his eyes gradually opened. He looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. They had never entered the house in the city, so he didnʼt know whether this was the cityʼs house or the Supreme Devil Organizationʼs base.

But all doubts were cleared when he heard a familiar voice.

”It seems you have woken up.”

”…” Noel weakly turned his head, looking at the woman who was sitting next to his bed. She crossed her legs and slightly raised her head as if she was expressing her anger. Noel had little energy, but he still called her name. ”Cap… tain… Mil… Fa..”

Yes, she was Milfa, the one that saved Noel from getting captured by the Supreme Devil Organization.

”I donʼt really want to berate someone who is still too weak to even speak. However, I have to do this for two reasons. First, your action is simply too reckless. Second, you dare to try recruiting me with this kind of result. If someone wants to be my master, getting beaten like this is simply a no for me. Thatʼs why I have to tell you this…”

”Noel Ardagan. Your action has gone too far. By looking at your formation and the number of enemies, I can see that you were already aware that the Supreme Devil Organization would attack you, especially Laufey Ardagan.”

”Yet, you still recklessly left the city to lure them out. Do you know that one wrong action will kill your teammates?”

Noel narrowed his eyes, glaring at her. It wasnʼt that he hated the lecture. He just wanted to tell them that he was already aware of all his mistakes.

He had become overconfident just because of some small success. He still underestimated the power of a Spirit Grandmaster.

He should be grateful that Laufey was still at the peak of Spirit Grandmaster, not yet reaching the Spirit Transcendence. If he had reached that stage, he would have been crushed.

”…” Milfa couldnʼt help but fall silent after looking at his expression. She let out a long sigh before raising three fingers. ”All right. Iʼll end my lecture after saying these three things.”

”First of all, I came here because I have gotten the information about the Plant Lord. Since you are directly involved in this, Iʼll write the details down later. But one thing you should remember is that your name is within the top ten targets in their list. So, you should be even more careful from now on.”

”Secondly, I have to ask you… Do you have anything you want to tell me about that mysterious person? I donʼt think he is from this kingdom…” Milfa and Noel looked at each other for a minute before Milfa closed her eyes and looked away. ”I will consider that person as the Ardagan Familyʼs secret weapon for now. But the moment he becomes a threat, then Iʼll immediately chase after him even if it means becoming your enemy.”

”Last but not least, your teammates are fine. So, all you have to do is to recuperate from your injuries. According to the healer, you should rest for another two days before doing any activities.”

Noel understood her intention, especially the second one. He was already thankful enough that she helped them this time, and she even overlooked Damianʼs existence.

After regaining his consciousness for a while, it seemed that Noel had gathered some energy to speak.

”Captain Milfa…” Noel still couldnʼt lift his head, but he had stopped stuttering. ”Thank you for your help. And I surely have disappointed you. I have become too overconfident because of a few small achievements.”

”Unfortunately, it seems that I have to be shameless once more and ask you… Can you teach me a few things about the Supreme Devil Organization?”

Milfa pinched the bridge of her nose. The information about the Supreme Devil Organization was a secret, especially regarding their high-ranking people.

But Noel was in the middle of the storm and the commander seemed to trust him a bit, especially after his help in capturing the Plant Lord as well as Marquis Walford.

So, Milfa considered this request seriously. After a few seconds, she opened her mouth. ”You should know the ranking in the Supreme Devil Organization. The leader of the organization is known to be the Supreme Devil. Unfortunately, he is the most mysterious, so we donʼt have a lot of information about him.”

”All we know is that all people, including the Devil Saints, are loyal to him. And even the Saints rarely see him. Itʼs said that the Supreme Devil is at Spirit Transcendence, but his strength is still growing rapidly. According to the rumor, his power is going to surpass everyone soon.”

”As for the Devil Saints… According to the current information, there are approximately five Devil Saints, including Laufey Ardagan.”

”Only one of them is a Spirit Transcendence. If you add the Supreme Devil, both the kingdoms and the organization have two Spirit Transcendences each. As for the remaining four Saints… they are at Laufeyʼs level. Their strength is at peak Spirit Grandmaster. Though, your uncle has a high probability of reaching the next level sooner or later.”

”For the time being, our power is still enough to contain the organization, especially the Devil Bishop. Thanks to you eliminating two Devil Bishops, we have weakened them greatly. After all, those two Bishops are among the strongest Bishops.”

”We donʼt have the exact number, but we predict there are around thirty to fifty Devil Bishops. Of course, the high-ranking people can stand toe to toe with a Captain in our army. But those in lower positions can still be stopped with a Vice Captain. Though, if you have to deal with them, you need a Captain since we canʼt waste a precious chance to capture or kill them.”

”Thatʼs all you can know for the time being. Do you want to ask something else?”

Noel looked down for a moment before asking a pretty weird but obvious question.

”The organization is as strong as the kingdom. Yet, they donʼt create their own kingdom. At the same time, they donʼt threaten other kingdoms. In other words, the organization is only a problem to our kingdom… Donʼt you think itʼs a bit suspicious why they donʼt become an international organization? It feels like they are related to the royal fa—Hmpph!”
