System vs Rebirth

Noel also thought about the bad possibility that would come from the complete rune.

'If everyone knows about my knowledge about the complete rune that can basically transform the entire Rune System as well as the blacksmith's Enchantment… many kingdom will either form a connection with me or try to kill me for the information.

'Either way, it can also be my last trump card if I can't avenge my parents by myself. Marrying to another kingdom and force them to help me is also an option, but for now, I want to do it by myself. Hence, I need to gain enough reputation first before showing the whole rune if I don't want this kingdom seizing this power. Well, I can even make a unique school about rune in my territory which will allow me to gain some connections with the nobles who will send their people to learn from me. Yeah, there are many ways to use it, so I don't have to rush everything for the time being.'

Noel's expression brightened as they reached Rick's room. Noel also took another look at the incomplete runes.

'Rune itself is just an imaginary power of a single word. The runes embedded into this armor are Harden, Dispersion, and Flexible. In fact, this Dispersion is the exact same thing as my Spiritual Energy Dispersion Rune.

'In fact, all my runes like Increase Agility, Strength Blessing, Spiritual Energy Dispersion, and Chain Bind Rune can be described by a single word that is embedded to that rune itself. Agility, Strength, Dispersion, and Chain Runes. Anna's Duplication Rune is the same.

'The embedding process uses the advantage of Demon's parts which are rich in Spiritual Energy, making them a perfect conductor to Spiritual Energy. That's why that's the only way to create a Spiritual Equipment… I think?

'Well, I have spare Honor Points that I can use to upgrade my Rune Mastery, but I'll wait after my expedition to the Sword Saint Tomb since I might need to use it at that time.'

While Noel was thinking, Rick had picked up his tools and came to him. "Noel. Are you ready?"

"Yes, I'm ready. But what are you planning to do?" Noel asked.

"It's simple. You put your armor on so that I can activate the Spiritual Enchantment. After this, you won't have any problem in activating those runes by yourself."
