System vs Rebirth

"Where he resided…" The guy looked down, hesitating for a moment. "The descendant has followed his will and continued to grow stronger. My name is Dhui.

"My son is Xui and this is my daughter, Rui."

"!!!" Noel raised his eyebrows, noticing something from the name.

"As you probably have noticed, our names are similar. In fact, all the descendants of this clan have similar names with 'ui' in their names.

"The ancestor has once told us about a certain premonition. It's not guaranteed but there will be a big battle in the future where humanity might cease to exist the moment we lose that battle.

"And that he was loyal to the Ardagan family to the very end." Dhui's expression turned grim. He looked at Noel and asked with a solemn tone. "Why do you come here, Mr. Ardagan?"

Noel closed his eyes for a moment. "The battle is about to come. The threat is right at the doorstep and they might come at any moment."

"So, do you want us to spill our blood for the sake of humanity?" Dhui asked.

Noel shook his head. "If I can do it myself, I won't ask anyone else to participate. In the past, my ancestor, Alexander Ardagan, used five divine items to repel the demons.

"We are able to repel the demons if we have all the divine items. However, that is not possible anymore.

"The demons have one of the divine items in their possession. Hence, it's close to impossible to get it back.

"That's why I'm planning to gather the remaining divine items. Even if I can't use it, I will have to keep it safe to make sure no demons can use it."

Dhui squinted his eyes and asked, "And those divine items…"

"There are five divine items: a sword, a ring, a compass, a jade, and a headband."

"!!!" Dhui was startled while Rui's body shook. Sui expressed much more than the rest as he was staring at his sister.

It only took a glimpse for Noel to understand everything.

Dhui's expression turned heavy. "So, are you going to take back the divine item?"

"No."

"!!!" Dhui looked surprised. The true owner of the divine items was none other than Noel's ancestor. No one would say anything if he wanted to take it back. Yet Noel said he didn't want to take it back. He couldn't comprehend the meaning of his action. "What are you planning to do with it?"

"I'd like to borrow the divine item."

That answer certainly shocked everyone in the room. However, Noel continued, "As I said previously, the battle is coming.

"No matter how hard I think, I can't predict the exact date of the battle. All I know is that it will happen within two years… three years at the latest.

"Hence, all I wish is for me to borrow that item. After those few years, I will return it.

"That's all I wish for the divine item. There is a reason why my ancestor must give that divine item to Sir Ihui, so I will respect that decision and shamelessly ask you to lend me that divine item."

Dhui crossed his arms before asking, "Are you going to use it?"

"I don't know. If I can use it, I will use it. If not, I'll just keep it safe for the time being."

"If you just want to keep it safe, why don't you leave it to us? I mean, we are quite safe in this place."

"Safe, huh? Is there a safe place in this world?" Noel raised his head. "When the demon kings come, will there be a safe place?

"Demon kings!" They never thought Noel would mention 'demon king' and it wasn't even one demon king but multiple of them.

"In the past, my ancestor repelled two demon kings, one who ruled over the land and one who ruled over the sky."

"!!!" Dhui's face darkened. "Are you saying there are demon kings who rule the sea?"

"I don't know. All I know is that there are a lot of demon kings in this world." Noel shook his head helplessly.

To gain their cooperation, Noel had been explaining everything, expressing his sincerity.

He was prepared to draw a huge rune if necessary, giving them more protection.

However, that would still depend on whether they would cooperate or fight him.

Dhui contemplated for a moment. After a few minutes, he stood up and asked, "Do you want to follow me for a bit?"

Noel nodded.

All four of them walked toward the deeper part of the building and eventually reached a grand hall. From this hall, Dhui actually revealed the secret entrance hidden in this hall.

It appeared that Rui knew about it while Sui was amazed.

"Where is this, Father?" Sui asked while looking around. "I never thought there was an underground hall in our place."

The underground tunnel was just a simple tunnel with dim light to brighten their path.

However, it all changed when they reached the deepest part of the tunnel.

The space immediately opened up. In fact, it was even bigger than their grand hall.

There was a large crystal in the middle of the room, which illuminated the entire room.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

On both sides, he could see nothing but pillars and walls. However, there was a huge scroll at the end of the hall.

This huge scroll was hung from the ceiling to the floor with a small altar underneath it.

'Martial Might.'

'Honesty.'

'Promise.'

'Pride.'

'Warrior.'

These were the words written on the huge scroll.

"This is the last masterpiece that our ancestor left behind. We have to get stronger, be honest, never break our promise, have the pride of the strong, and act like a warrior.

"You said you wanted to borrow the divine item earlier, then you must know that you're searching for the headband from this place."

Dhui stood in front of the scroll and pointed at his daughter. "My daughter, Rui, has the headband. Due to the promise that my ancestor made in the past, I'd lend the headband to you.

"However, because you go all the way here, there's something I'd like to request. And that is… bring Rui out of this island."
