System vs Rebirth

"Set sail!"

"Take it out!"

"Where's the chef?!"

"We'll grill this Ancient Demon to the best of our ability!"

The sailors were excited. They never expected they would be able to fight against an Ancient Demon in the first place.

Even the previous expeditions failed when they encountered an Ancient Demon.

They thought this expedition would be the same. However, it turned out there was a reason why the king agreed to let Noel and Anna join the expedition and even make them the head of the expedition.

It was because of their unparalleled strength.

Without them, they wouldn't be alive by now. And not only did they defeat the Ancient Demon, but Noel also declared that he would be grilling the meat for everyone.

Then again, there were a total of four tentacles that had been cut, so they definitely had to use it. In addition, most of the bodies had to be either eaten or thrown away, considering they would rot.

Noel only took a few important parts that could be used for materials and let the rest sink into the depths of the ocean.

In the end, the body and the blood of the Ancient Demon would attract demons. To avoid more problems after this, they decided to let it go.

Of course, Noel had to recuperate in his room, considering he had used his True Spirit Body. And he had to ingest the Ancient Demon Crystal. It felt like he almost absorbed half of the requirements he needed to reach the Spirit King stage.

He knew there must be something else he needed to do before he could become a spirit king, but it was clear that he was the closest human to that stage.

Anna was standing by his side, making sure no one interrupted him. If there was another Ancient Demon, she would be using her True Spirit Body.

Concerned, the admiral couldn't help but visit them.

"Hmm?" Anna squinted her eyes.

"Please. I'm not here for anything. I'm just worried about him. Is he going to be fine?"

Anna nodded. "Yes. Although he is injured, he should be fine after a few days."

"I see. That's good." The admiral fell silent for a moment. "The others have been cooking the octopus like crazy. Do you want me to bring some here?"

"No need. If we are hungry, we will head there. But for now, I just want him to recuperate from his wounds."

"I understand." The admiral nodded. "In that case, we'll continue sailing in the same direction."

"Yes. Incetta has been giving us reports as well. If we maintain this direction, we should be able to reach the destination soon. And I hope we do."

"Indeed." The admiral looked hesitant, as if there was something in his mind.

Anna raised her guard, suspicious of him. However, the admiral lowered his head and bent his body down. "Actually, I come here to express my gratitude."

"!!!" Anna was surprised since the admiral was also a proud guy. His authority was not losing to the likes of ministers. To think that such a man would lower their pride like this.

"Without both of you, we won't be able to even return. In addition, you even share the loot with us. Eating an Ancient Demon is something that people can only dream of. And it happens because of this expedition.

"It can be said that if the expedition ever succeeds, it's because of both of you. We don't even have a lot of casualties this whole time. All the injured had been treated and cheered for the victory." The admiral knew how important Noel and Anna were.

They created runes that reduced their casualties. They had the strength to kill the Ancient Demon. Last but not least, they were the ones proposing this expedition.

If they succeeded, the Zaecuria Kingdom would use it as propaganda, showing how strong they were.

And he was afraid that Noel and Anna's identities as Spirit Transcendences would be exposed. Even if he could shut these people's mouths, it would be impossible to prevent any slip up, especially with how the people sang praises about them later.

No one was immune to them. Besides, there would be others that tried to kidnap them and extract information.

That was why, other than the risk, he felt ashamed they couldn't give much to Noel and Anna.

"Just continue and succeed. That's the best thing you could ever do for us." Anna smiled. "So, please raise your head and command the ship like you always do."

The admiral was stunned and raised his head in disbelief. A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. He gave a military salute to Anna and Noel, who were recuperating inside the room. "Thank you. I will definitely make sure nothing goes wrong with the expedition."

As such, the ship continued at high speed, making their way toward the island the Spirit God was talking about.

One morning, a sailor casually woke up from his slumber, wanting to take a piss outside as he was already sick of this sea breeze.

But that was when he noticed a dot on the horizon. This dot became bigger and bigger as they crossed, so the sailor rubbed his eyes, wondering if he didn't see it wrong.

And he wasn't wrong. The dot kept getting bigger. It turned into a rock, a mountain, and even bigger like a real island. It was a giant island that stretched from one side to another.

With no hesitation, he immediately shouted, "An island!"

The people rushed outside, trying to see whether it was true, and ended up confirming it. The euphoria immediately spread throughout the ship as all people wanted to see the island. Even Noel, Anna, Incetta, and even the admiral couldn't contain their excitement.

And that was the beginning of an event that would go down in the canal of history.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
