System vs Rebirth

"What?" Laufey widened his eyes in shock when Hailfa came to him, informing about the ambush and their current condition.

He realized that everything he found earlier was fake.

Laufey gritted his teeth. He never thought he would lose this miserably.

Without hesitation, he came with Hailfa to the place where they were ambushed.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, they found Fil and Gargan on the way. Gargan was covered in superficial wounds and his left hand was severed. It was clear that his strength would decrease and his status as a Devil Bishop might have to be revoked after this mission due to his injury.

Meanwhile, Fil should be able to recover after some time, which was fortunate for him. But Laufey still needed them for his plan.

"Kh." Laufey was biting his lips while Hailfa tended their wounds. It seemed that Hailfa was also tasked to inform the pair to regroup with them.

"I'm sorry, Sir. Everything was my fault. If I was strong enough, I could protect all of them." Gargan lowered his head. There was no excuse since Laufey had told them that he wouldn't hold back even if they were another Devil Saint's subordinates.

Laufey wanted to berate him, but when he heard about the ambush, he realized that Dimitri's strength was in the assassination. In other words, this kind of ambush must be his doing.

But there was something that confused him.
