System vs Rebirth

"There's no need to continue, Ardagan. Let's do it!"

Ardagan was amused. After all, Noel looked like he was underestimating the Spirit Link. But with Noel's character, he shouldn't underestimate it after experiencing it himself. So, it meant Noel had prepared his heart for this.

"You should think about this carefully. Once you form a Spirit Link, you can't undo it." Ardagan tried to warn him, but Noel actually shook his head.

"No. I don't think it that way. It's true that the price I've to pay is still heavy even though you said it's a lower price compared to you. However, I have to form the Spirit Link.

"It's not because I'm jealous of Anna or because I underestimate the Spirit Link… I simply have to do it if I want to survive in this world.

"My uncle, the Supreme Devil Organization, the Demons, and the schemers, whether it is the Third Prince or the Royal Family… They won't wait for me to get stronger.

"That's why I have to get all the strength I can get right now no matter what price I have to pay.

"Besides…" Noel made a small smile. "You should know this, Ardagan… My talent can't be compared to my ancestors or even Anna.

"If I don't have a talent, I should have an indomitable will if I want to catch up to those peerless talents.

"People think I am a genius since I can reach this level within one and a half years, but have they seen how hard I've worked?"

Ardagan fell silent. He had seen how hard Noel had worked this whole time. He sacrificed a lot of sleep and did everything in a way to train. He pushed himself further and further, sacrificing a lot of time and sweat in order.

That was why Ardagan suddenly apologized to him. "I'm sorry."
