System vs Rebirth

Noel entered the tunnel and activated his Moon Blessing to see in the dark. Whether it was a coincidence or not, the cave was actually lit up by the moonlight.

"Mhmmm?" Noel couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, noticing that there was another source of light at the end of the tunnel.

He carefully crossed this tunnel while using his spiritual energy to check if there were traps or runes nearby.

Ultimately, he reached a big opening inside of the cave, which wasn't too big but had enough room for the comfortable movement.

It was there he actually saw two graves. On top of the grave was the light rune that illuminated the entire area by using the spiritual energy that came from nature.

The tranquil atmosphere and the light gave an ethereal feeling to the gravestones.

Their names couldn't be seen anymore due to the passing time, but Noel knew that these two were his ancestors Alexander Ardagan and Margaretha Ardagan.

Behind their gravestones was a box, which probably contained what they had left behind.

Before he could do something like that, Noel went to his knees and said, "Noel Ardagan, the 34th head of the Ardagan family, greets the ancestors.

"I have disappointed you and allowed the Ardagan family to be almost destroyed completely. However, I promise that I'll make the Ardagan family prosper.

"Currently, the demon king is encroaching on our kingdom, and I can only shamelessly admit that I'm not ready for it. Please forgive this useless descendant for worrying you.

"I'd like to ask for the ancestors' blessing to defeat the demon king."

Noel closed his eyes for a moment to pay his respect.

After several minutes, Noel stood up and grabbed the box that was left behind by his ancestors.

He thought that whatever was inside the box would be deteriorating due to the passing time. Nevertheless, he could still recover it later.

Noel then showed the box to the grave once again as if trying to show that he had received what they had left behind.

After that, Noel opened the box. It was a big box, so he opened it carefully, wondering what was inside.

To his surprise, there were only five items sealed inside the box. Instead of a letter, the box was actually used to write down their will. The inside of the box was able to endure the passing of time more than a paper, so it wasn't weird his ancestors chose them.

The five items: a key, a badge, a scroll, a black cube, and a ring.

"Hmm?" Noel frowned. He didn't understand all these items or know what they were used for.

Hence, he grabbed them first and put them away so that he could read the words his ancestors left behind.

But when he grabbed the black cube, a system panel suddenly appeared in front of him. Read now on freewebnovel

The system panel was red instead of the usual blue, which startled him.

"What is going on?!"

[Recovering—]

[System Error]

[Deactivate]

Those were the only words that appeared before the system disappeared again. "Ardagan? System?"

Noel hurriedly opened his system and let out a sigh of relief that nothing happened. He checked carefully a few times to make sure that he could still change his medal, but there was nothing that could be done.

Because he was too confused, he had to read the words left behind by his ancestors first.

'If you ever read this, you must be in a desperate situation, my descendant. If you are not my descendant, then take only the ring and the key because you won't be able to use them. No one can use those three other than my qualified descendant.

'If you are my descendant, I have bad news and good news for you. Bad news, my grandmother once said that there are a total of thirteen demon kings that sneaked into this world.

'However, you don't have to worry about all these demon kings. While they are strong, they are still constrained by space. Some demon kings rule over the ocean, some kings are restricted to its continent.

'At the same time, you shouldn't let your guard down. I once took down a demon king in my era, but that demon king hadn't died because, at the last moment, there was actually another demon king that helped him.'

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock. He had never expected that there would be a lot of demon kings in this world.

He didn't understand what he meant completely, but it was clear that the demon kings couldn't come to this place as they liked.

If there was something he needed to be concerned about, it would be the second demon king. If there were two demon kings, wouldn't it be better if Anna joined the fight as well? After all, with his current strength, he doubted he could actually defeat two ancient demons by himself.

In other words, Anna had to become a spirit king as well. No one knew there were two demon kings since the only one who fought him was Alexander. At the same time, it was surprising that Alexander hid this information from his comrades. Even his brother-in-law, the sword saint, didn't give him this information.

He continued to read the message.

'The reason I failed to kill him was because of the second demon king, which caused me to use all my power to barely repel them.

'Your task is to defeat both demon kings if you want to regain peace over this piece of land. If you want to explore the world and find other demon kings, you can do that after defeating them.

'I'm sorry that I have to entrust the task I have failed to my descendant. As an ancestor, I have failed. The only thing I can do is give you these five items that will help you in defeating the demon kings.

'First of all, I hope you're not as dumb as me because you might end up losing something precious like me.

'Second, after losing my wife, I couldn't recover. At the same time, everything they knew was not true. I pretended not to be okay because there was someone feeding the information to the demon king.

'There was a traitor among us.'
