System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1256: Familiar Language

Bang!

Bam!

Clink!

A series of sounds echoed across the land as a lot of demons fell prey to Noel, Anna, and Incetta.

Still, the one who did most of the fighting was Incetta. Vivi and Incetta had asked so that Incetta could grow stronger.

And Noel agreed. There was no reason for him not to accept. That was why Incetta had been wielding her spear for more than fifty minutes as they made their way deeper to the island.

Noel and Anna mostly retrieved the demon crystals.

”What do you think about the demons on this island?” Noel asked.

”Thatʼs rather hard to say.” Anna looked around. ”They are different. There are demons that I have never seen in the four kingdoms. Then again, the demons are possessing animals, so they must be local animals here.”

”Fair enough. What about their strength?”

”There isnʼt any difference from what I can see. They are not stronger or weaker. Normally, if theyʼre stronger, it means this place is more dangerous. The competitions or even the humans might be stronger. Or if they are weaker, there must be no competition here that the demons donʼt know what they should do in a fight. But I canʼt see any of those signs.”

”So you think there is a civilization on this island? And it has survived for more than a thousand years?”

Anna crossed her arms, contemplating. ”I donʼt know the strength of the ten commandants, but itʼs clear they are pretty strong, especially this one since he has the headband.

”So, I believe that his descendants are able to protect themselves. The question is, in what shape? Do his descendants have any weird lords? Foolish ones tend to destroy the heritage.”

”There are too many assumptions.” Noel shook his head.

In the middle of their conversation, they couldnʼt help but hear a voice resembling that of a human.

”Help!”

”!!!” Both of them raised their eyebrows. They sensed it at the same time, so they exchanged looks.

”A human?” Anna frowned.

”Most likely.”

Both of them came to a tacit understanding.

They hurriedly followed the origin of the voice, finding a boy getting chased after by multiple demons.

The boy was only wearing a sleeveless shirt that had no button, as if trying to expose his muscles and abs.

Still, he had much bigger muscles compared to anyone he had seen, especially from a twelve or thirteen years old boy.

ʼHeʼs young, but his strength… Itʼs already at the Spirit Practitioner level? No, itʼs close to the Spirit Wielder?ʼ

Both of them thought the same thing. They had never thought someone that young would have such strength. In terms of talent, Anna might even lose.

”Help!”

”I donʼt know what word he said, but it sounds like he needs help.” Anna pointed at the boy.

Noel couldnʼt help but furrow his eyebrows, not because of this guyʼs talent but because of the language.

”This…” Noel narrowed his eyes.

”Whatʼs wrong?”

”I recognize the language.”

”What? Really?”

”Yes. Although all four kingdoms have used the standardized language, they still have their respective native languages. And this sounds like the Greenwood Kingdomʼs native language.”

”Seriously? Can you understand that boy?” Anna was taken aback. They had brought multiple linguistic masters, but it turned out there was no need for them. ”Can you speak?”

”Probably. I donʼt have the accent, but I have gotten the lesson. Well, itʼs more like because my mother came from the Greenwood Kingdom, he made me learn it. I have never really practiced it, so it will sound awkward and make us look like outsiders.”

”Who cares, right?”

Noel chuckled. ”True.”

”Letʼs go.”

”I will take care of the kid. You go with Incetta and try to follow me.”

”Oh! Alright then.” She nodded in agreement and disappeared.

Meanwhile, the boy had been cornered.

”Kh!” He tripped. He had exhausted all his energy, but he failed to take down the giant boar in front of him. The giant boar was an Advanced Level Demon, so it was already amazing that he had the ability to fight it.

The boar was charging straight at him.

He gnashed his teeth. Even though he was going to die, his eyes were still glaring at the boar as though he had no fear of dying.

But all of a sudden, the boar suddenly stopped.

”Huh?” The boy widened his eyes in shock, finding the boarʼs body was suddenly split into two. Its blood spurted and caused a tremor upon its fall.

More importantly, there was a figure standing behind the boar who might be the one killing it.

”Who?” The boy gasped.

Noel looked around and asked, ”Are you safe?”

The boy tilted his head in confusion because he didnʼt understand his language. Noel used the standardized language, so of course, this was the result.

”You canʼt understand me?” Noel pointed at his mouth.

The boy got the gist of what Noel was trying to say but did not know the exact wording. He only shook his head furiously. ”Who are you?”

Noel looked shocked, as if he understood the boyʼs language. ”Ah. Can you understand me this time?”

His tone was a bit awkward, but it was correct.

”Eh? I can understand it now.” The boyʼs eyes brightened.

”Hahaha. Sorry if Iʼm a little awkward since I rarely use this language.” Noel chuckled. ”What are you doing here, kid? To think you would provoke an advanced level demon.”

”I am training!” The boy pumped his fist.

The fact that he didnʼt deny the advanced level demon meant the categories had been spread, most likely by the fourth commandant.

Noel frowned. ”Training? The demon is much stronger than you. Youʼre just sending yourself to your death.”

”I need to get strong fast. As a man, I have to get stronger and stronger so that no one can steal my position.” The boy glared at Noel. ”By the way, who are you, big brother?”

Noel thought for a moment and decided to go with his real name. ”I am Noel. Who are you, kid?”

”I am Xui.”

”Sui?”

”Xui.”

”Sorry, Iʼm not used to pronouncing names like this. Let me just call you Sui.”

”Well, whatever.” The boy shrugged.

Noel smiled as if knowing that there was a strong family in this land. It could give birth to Sui and it was most likely a giant family, which would be useful for him to get more information about this island.
