System vs Rebirth-Novel

While Noel was receiving his training from Dimitri, the rest of the Demon Relief Squad had just received heavy news from Rose.

"What did you say?!" Stella widened her eyes in shock. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. "Noel died?"

Paul frowned as he asked to confirm it. "Are you sure Anna killed Noel?"

Rose nodded while gritting her teeth. Her expression was filled with anguish and anger. If Anna had been here, she would have torn her into pieces.

Obviously, Clara had told them about the end of the Blood Berserker. She couldn't help but remember what Noel said about fulfilling her revenge.

"I'll fulfill your revenge even if it costs me my life."

Noel's voice echoed in her ears, making her regret even more. She thought she had told him enough that Noel wouldn't do it, but it turned out she had to put on a leash on him to ensure Noel didn't do it.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Rose bit her lips. "Yes. I personally saw it. Anna stabbed Noel with her sword and pushed him off the cliff."

Jonathan, who had been Noel's mentor in Spiritual Energy Control, had some special attachments to Noel. He considered everything properly and muttered, "In the normal condition, Noel wouldn't have a hard time landing on the bottom of the cliff. But if his body is stabbed by a sword, it's a different matter."

"Where is Noel's corpse?" Clara asked.

"I'm sorry, Captain. After fleeing from those demons, I hurriedly checked the site. However, I could only see blood splattered in the area and ripped clothes." Rose shook her head.

"What? His body has been eaten by the demons?" Stella roared while unsheathing her sword.

"What do you think you're doing, Stella?" Clara glared at her.

However, the rage in Stella's heart overwhelmed her feelings toward Clara. She simply stated while emitting killing intent. "I'm going to hunt her down and make her pay!"

"Stop it. This is my order as your Captain!"

"Captain. Can't you even see what's going on here?" Stella bit her lips, standing in front of Clara as if she wanted to challenge her.

"I haven't bonded too much with him, so I don't have any special attachment to him. However, I can't deny the fact that a squad member has died. That's why you are going to stop here and I shall report this to the commander… personally!" Clara glared back.

As she said, she had never worked together with Noel, so she didn't have any attachment to him. That was why her opinion was colder than the rest since she also had to consider the Demon Relief Squad as a whole.

Besides, there was something in her mind that also caught her attention. Though, she didn't say it to the rest of the group due to the lack of proof.

*Knock!*

*Knock!*

Clara and the rest turned around, wondering who was coming to their room. However, the Water Lord's voice soon echoed through the door.

"I'm sorry, but I overheard your conversation. May I come in?"

Jonathan glanced at Clara, asking for her opinion. As soon as she gave the nod, Jonathan used his Telekinesis to open the door.

The Water Lord also had a troubled expression on his face, considering Noel had made a huge impact on his plan and him personally. Hence, it was a shame to know the person who piqued his interest died just like this.

"Is it true that Noel Ardagan has died?" The Water Lord entered while asking. He didn't get the answer, but their expressions confirmed it. "I see…"

The Water Lord paused for a moment before explaining, "The entire plan could work because of him. That was why I was planning to reward him more than anyone else here. However, I didn't expect him to die like this.

"Still, it doesn't change the fact that he has saved this place. Not only could I get rid of all the demons, but I also managed to eradicate the Supreme Devil Organization in my territory. I owed him.

"Although his noble family had fallen and his name wouldn't be remembered, I shall give him the status of "Hero of the Silica Valley" to honor him." The Water Lord sighed. "If there's a chance to prosecute Anna Stargaze for his death, you could contact me. I will do my best to help you."

The Water Lord gave him the status so that his name would still be remembered by the people. This was the least he could do for Noel.

Though, he doubted anyone would try to prosecute Anna or the Stargaze Family upon his death. After all, Noel's status wasn't as high as his father's former status.

Clara nodded her head. "I'm grateful that you do something like this, Water Lord."

"No, it's something I should do." The Water Lord waved his hand as if telling her it wasn't a big deal. "What are you planning to do, Captain of the Demon Relief Squad?"

"It's not something that the Water Lord has to be concerned about. We will simply continue our work, including fixing your land a little bit."

"Well, if that's what you like. I've said everything I wanted to say, so I'll take my leave here." The Water Lord politely nodded to them before leaving the room.

Clara pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Anyway, you all are to continue your work here for the land restoration. Meanwhile, I'll go back to the headquarters to discuss this matter with the commander.

"I think I have to remind you once again, especially Stella and Rose. I know that you are trying to avenge him, but I forbid you from doing it. This is an order. The matter between the Stargaze Family and the Ardagan Family is a complicated matter, so I have to consult with the commander first.

"Paul and Jonathan too… You are forbidden to do anything about this matter. Ben and Zion will keep an eye on them, understood?"

Clara gave them a cold gaze as if she didn't take 'no' for an answer.
