System vs Rebirth

Noel gritted his teeth.

As if responding to Noel's feeling, Ardagan spoke directly in his mind.

[It's not a hard decision, isn't it? If you don't go back, there simply won't be any successor of the Ardagan family. It will be the same as me not having another potential master who is qualified to wield me. Meanwhile, if you go back, I can still serve you… for hundreds of years. It's the same as having a few generations of masters.]

"It's not easy!" Noel clenched his hands into fists. "You've been helping me from the beginning."

Noel closed his eyes, recalling all the memories they had together.

At the beginning, it was Ardagan who gave him the power to take down his opponent and rise through the ranks. He was able to keep up with Anna.

When he was in confusion, it was Ardagan who gave him missions to relieve his doubt.

At a time, Ardagan was like an elder who guided him through all his mistakes. On another occasion, Ardagan was like his best friend, accompanying him and supporting him through hard times.

For Noel, Ardagan was like a family.

Yet, after everything that Ardagan had done, he repaid him by sacrificing him for the sake of his own selfishness in wanting to revive.

Noel couldn't simply make a decision. His heart was torn.

Noel personally couldn't forgive the person who would do such a thing to him. He imagined Tristan, whom he raised as his disciple, suddenly betraying him in this manner. He didn't know if he could even forgive him.

So there was no way he could do the same thing as what he didn't want others to do to him. He wasn't a hypocrite.

[As expected, even though you are a genius in all sorts of areas, you can be such a fool at a time like this.]

"Wha—" Noel's body shook, not expecting Ardagan, who never insulted him, to actually call him a fool.

[Haven't you realized it? How long have we spent in this place? How much time could a man go without a beating heart?]
