System vs Rebirth

For the next several days, Noel focused on drawing all the runes. Because not every part was done yet, he had to improvise and draw as many runes as possible.

The Zaecuria Kingdom showed their sincerity by using all the Peak Level Demon as the material. The ship itself had a lot of precious metal and high level materials.

Hence, Noel could focus on the runes. During that time, the admiral would be accompanying him everywhere while Incetta was invited to give some lectures on what to do to the sailors.

She even increased the training for the sailors according to Vivi’s instruction.

Finally, six days had passed.

“Turn it on!” The admiral shouted.

“Yes, sir!” The sailors inside the ship immediately activated the defensive runes.

A spiritual energy barrier soon appeared, covering the entire ship.

“There doesn’t seem to be any weakness. How about the water? Is it getting pushed away?”

“No, sir.” The sailor shook his head.

Normally, the Spiritual Barrier Rune would have pushed out the water. Even Noel understood it, so he made a little tweak so that the ship could remain as a ship.

It was to let the water enter the barrier.

After learning the trick from his ancestor regarding the rune array, Noel had decided to use the concept of the rune array instead of his original idea.

He combined several runes, such as the Blood Rune and the Spiritual Energy Dispersion Rune.

By slightly changing the Blood Rune, he recognized the blood as the liquid. This meant the water would be recognized as such and allowed to enter.

By adding the Spiritual Energy Dispersion Rune, he singled out the water that didn’t have spiritual energy to enter.

In other words, any water abilities wouldn’t be able to enter the ship.

“How is the barrier underneath the water?” The admiral asked.

“Everything looks perfect, sir!” The sailor who was near the water surface confirmed.

“Let’s test the strength of the rune, shall we?” The admiral took out his weapon.

Several spirit masters behind him also readied their weapons.

“We’ll attack it at the same time.” The admiral shouted as he raised his weapon. “Go!”

The moment he gave the signal, all of them unleashed their respective attacks. They all flew forward and hit the ship at the same time.

The clash between the spiritual energy from the barrier and their attacks caused a shock wave that shook the entire building.

However, their attacks soon vanished after losing their spiritual energy while the barrier remained intact. In fact, there wasn’t even a scratch on it.

“!!!” The admiral looked impressed. “So this is the rumored impenetrable defense that the Ardagan family has. This ship alone can act as a fortress, unable to be breached.”

The admiral’s expression turned serious. There was one thing they needed to be concerned about.

It was the rune underneath the ship. Noel told him that he had modified the runes so that they would still be able to float on the sea. This made him worry about the barrier strength, especially since the fish would come from the bottom.

That was why the test would be conducted by Fradania. Stay tuned with

“It’s my turn then.” Fradania smirked and jumped off the edge. She skillfully dove into the water and turned her body around.

After inspecting the barrier for one more time, Fradania started gathering her energy on both hands.

There was a small water bubble that suddenly turned into an underwater whirlpool.

The whirlpools rose to the surface, hitting the barrier.

She even used her transcendent strength a little bit, but to her surprise, it only left a scratch on the barrier.

It might be due to the amount of spiritual energy poured into this barrier, but being able to block an attack from a spirit transcendence rank expert like her was no small feat. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Still, they had to continue with the test.

Fradania swam to the bottom of the ship and punched the barrier with her bare hand.

“Bubbly Wobbly Punch.” Fradania smirked.

A bubble formed on her fist and expanded so big that it popped, causing a massive shock wave underneath the water.

Boom!

The burst of the bubble launched the ship one meter above the water. The water had turned violent as the ship ended up falling back to the water and started hitting some equipment inside that building.

The admiral couldn’t help but squint his eyes, wondering if the test was successful.

Only after several minutes that Fradania finally emerged from the water, her clothes surprisingly stayed dry.

Fradania let out a long sigh. “That barrier is so sturdy. It should be able to withstand two or three all-out attacks from even a spirit transcendence or an ancient demon. But by that time…”

The admiral sucked a cold breath. “Mr. Noel and Miss Anna should have sprung into action.”

“Indeed.” Fradania nodded.

What she didn’t know was that Noel had prepared reinforcement that would allow them to handle that situation.

“To be honest, this is the first time I see a ship this sturdy. If you are able to use the demon crystals from those that attack you along the way, I think you have the highest chance to survive. I don’t dare to say it will be 100%, but it should be triple the previous number.”

“You do know that the previous number was only 22%, right?”

“Exactly my point.” Fradania glanced at the ship. “If this ship has served its purpose, we will get this ship along with the runes, right?”

“Do you think it will be?” The admiral asked while pointing at the few old men on the side. They were studying the runes, especially on how Noel was able to allow the water to remain unaffected.

“Well…” Fradania shrugged. “At the very least, we know that this is the new generation of ship. In the future, there will be more and more impenetrable ships. And if we want to discover a new land, the Zaecuria Kingdom will be the only one to achieve it.”

“Yeah. The runes are awesome.” The admiral nodded, acknowledging the person who popularized it.

As for the afore-mentioned person, he was already inside the library, surrounded by mountains of books.

His eyes had been fixated on a single book for the last few hours. It was because of that book he finally broke his silence. “This is…”
