"Report!" A soldier slammed open the door and fell on one knee. "We have just received a report from the north. Anna Stargaze has just left the Golden Dawn City and moved to the southwest. We are assuming that her destination is either the central nobles or the Demon Banner Army."
"!!!" Duke Raymond widened his eyes in shock as he couldn't help but stand up from his seat. 'Do they know our plan? If that's the case, then their aim must be the Demon Banner Army.
'Not good. For the bird to travel here means two to three hours have passed.' Duke Raymond hurriedly rushed outside.
"Sir?!" The servant was confused for a moment. It seemed the report was actually much more serious than he originally thought. After all, the first thing he did after receiving the report was to head to the palace.
Little did they know, Anna was just a distraction. Find new chapters on freewebnovel
Noel and Incetta had gone to the previous city of the Ardagan family.
There was simply nothing in here other than ruins that nature had taken over.
When Vivi saw this land, she couldn't help but sigh. "To think that the once prosperous land would actually fall like this, forgotten in the canal of history."
When she closed her eyes, she could see the towering wall that blocked the demons. She imagined the clear and bright city inside. It was the peak of their lives.
After wandering for so long, they had finally created a home they could call home. freewebnøvel.coɱ
However, that home was gone when the demon king attacked. They destroyed their home and everything they could call home.
Alex lost everything on that day. She still couldn't believe that burning sky.
Vivi let out a long sigh. The descendant that would fight the demon king once again stood in front of her.
She immediately guided Noel to the mountain not far from the city. There were a total of four mountains, so Vivi pointing out which one was the mountain of the beginning was a big help for him.
"This is the mountain. If we go to the west side of the mountain, you will be able to find a small hole on the wall that would only reveal itself when the sun is setting."
That was what Vivi said after pointing out the mountain.
Noel was currently floating in the air, watching the west side of the mountain. The sun was about to set, so Noel had been squinting his eyes, wondering if that clue would still work even after a thousand years.
The longer he waited, the more serious his expression became.
"Where is it?"
He doubted that the mechanism would still work after a thousand years, making him think that it was better for him to search the mountain from scratch.
However, right before he gave up, there were a few seconds where the intensity of the orange light was the brightest before it disappeared into the horizon.
At that time, there was a small glint within the mountain. It was not big enough for normal people to see, but because he had reached the spirit transcendence rank and his senses were much sharper, that glint didn't escape his eyes.
"Is that…" Noel hurriedly flew toward that glint. The area had been covered with veins and rocks. If he didn't know about it, no one would probably find this small hole.
The hole had actually been concealed with the rune.
"This is…" Noel noticed something from the rune. "The key…"
There was nothing inside the hole other than the rune. If he wanted to open it, he needed a key.
However, the hole wasn't enough to put Ardagan inside, meaning that the key wasn't Ardagan.
"What should I put inside?" Noel looked down and took out the letter. He put it inside the hole, but nothing happened. "I guess it's not."
Noel poured his spiritual energy to inspect the rune, but it didn't get activated. However, he noticed another rune hidden underneath this one. "Hmm?"
When he inspected it with his spiritual energy, the rune was something he was familiar with.
"Blood Rune? Don't tell me…"
Noel pulled out his sword and cut his thumb, letting the blood fall on top of the rune.
In that instant, the spiritual energy fluctuated, which caused an even bigger wave to burst out of the mountain.
"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock as he took a few steps back. "What is happening?"
The Blood Rune triggered other runes.
A huge advanced rune appeared in the sky above the mountain. Four other runes also appeared, facing all four directions.
"The Advanced Runes… They are the runes I haven't mastered. That big one at the top is called the Supreme Elemental Barrier. Those four… which one is it…" Noel had a lot of knowledge about runes, but he still had to find it out in his memory since he hadn't mastered them.
The four barriers sadly shattered into pieces before he could recognize them. After that, a rumbling sound started echoing inside his ears.
"Huh?!" Noel turned around and followed the source of that sound, finding the stone wall starting to move.
"This is…" Noel gasped. "Did the blood get recognized by the Blood Rune? Then, it was used to trigger the spiritual energy that had been contained inside a chamber? If that didn't get triggered, those four barriers, while I don't recognize them yet, I believe they are offensive runes.
"Those four offensive runes would attack me and probably severely injure me. But because the Blood Rune recognized my blood, it disarmed those four runes and activated other mechanisms.
"Are all of these actually getting controlled by the runes? No. Is this the true Rune Array?" Noel gasped. He had used his understanding of the Rune Array to create Rune cards.
However, his ancestor used Rune Array in a different manner.
Noel looked at the small tunnel leading deep inside the mountain. Noel politely bowed first and said, "Noel Ardagan, the 34th head of the Ardagan family, shall be intruding on your resting place. Please forgive such a selfish act of this unfilial descendant, ancestors."
