System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1654: Victory

With Noel's instruction, they sent the fastest airship to spread the messages.

Inside the Ardagan family, where all important commands were given, the news was delivered.

"The two demon kings have been slain. I repeat, the two demon kings have been slain. It's our victory!"

"Uoohhh!" The people cheered.

Luke looked at him dumbfoundedly before dropping into his chair. His son had done something unimaginable. Originally, he thought the threat was the Supreme Devil Organization, but it turned out to be two demon kings.

And he won.

"Yes!" Elaine and Rose hugged each other, celebrating their victory.

…

Muivell Kingdom.

"Uooohhh!" The ministers cheered.

"Congratulations, Your Grace." Marquis Nardt politely bowed. If the sovereign hadn't changed, they would have lost this battle.

Fortunately, Wendy was there to replace the old king. Thanks to her believing in Noel and cooperating with the Ardagan family, the Muivell Kingdom wasn't destroyed.

They were probably in the best state, as the Ardagan family and the western lords received the most impact.

Wendy closed her eyes in relief. She smiled, muttering, "We've won. The Muivell Kingdom will only get better from now on."

…

The Greenwood Kingdom.

The king stood up in a daze while the cheers from the ministers erupted.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"We've won!"

The king clenched his hands into fists.

…

The Zaecuria Kingdom.

"What did you say?" The king gasped.

"I repeat, the two demon kings have been slain. We've also received word that the supreme devil has been taken down by Anna Stargaze. This is our victory!"

The king pumped his fist. "Yes! Hoorah!"

"The Zaecuria Kingdom will prevail."

"Long live the Zaecuria Kingdom!"

…

The Atracaeca Kingdom.

The second prince couldn't help but tear up. "We've won…"

Other great protectors cheered.

Hulbert nodded with a serious expression. "Congratulations, Your Highness."

"No. This is all thanks to everyone's hard work. However, even though we've won the battle, the war has yet to end." Prince Ramuer suppressed his happiness. "Protectors!"

Hulbert waved his hand. "Send all our reinforcements. All protectors who don't have anything to do are to head to the battlefield and assist our soldiers. Save as many people as you can!"

"Yes!" All protectors replied in unison.

…

Even though they won, the price of the victory was not small either.

In the Zaecuria Kingdom, Dimitri was watching the sunset while holding his sword, whose blade had shattered.

His sword's life had finally come to an end. He muttered, "I guess this is where I shall lay down my sword."

He had fought in so many battles and served for a long time. Dimitri could finally end everything in the biggest war humanity had ever faced and won.

He could finally retire and live for his own sake. "Thank you very much."

Guardian Fradania halted her steps, looking at an old man with one arm carrying a corpse at his side.

"Grand Judge…" Fradania's mouth was shaking.

Grand Judge Adrian shook his head. "He's gone. He is the hero of the Zaecuria Kingdom."

"…" Fradania bit her lip in regret. One of the three guardians, the Protector of the Sea, Sir Loadstar, died in battle.

The Grand Judge also lost his arm and would most likely retire.

In the Greenwood Kingdom, Raincart smiled in relief with his left eye gone. He muttered, "You guys… I'm telling you. I'm really going to retire after this."

The soldiers just laughed out loud. "Duke. You've been saying that for fifteen years!"

On the other side of the kingdom, one of the three spirit transcendence from the Greenwood Kingdom also died in battle.

In the Atracaeca Kingdom, Anna was holding Laufey's hand after getting her wounds treated. Laufey still had no sign of waking up, as his vitals were still weak. There was no telling whether he would survive or not.

"Uncle… Please don't give up."

Oscar wasn't in the best condition either. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth as his throat was burning up after overusing his ability.

"…" Oscar looked around in pain. Although he won, three out of the five captains he brought here died in battle. Two airships were destroyed as well.

The losses were numerous, but he managed to contain the demons.

Still, amidst the losses and sadness due to the brutality of war, there was also hope.

Milfa looked up and saw an airship coming. The airship descended as fresh soldiers emerged from within.

"We've won! We've won the war. The supreme devil and the two demon kings have been slain!" The soldiers brought the news as well as a new order.

"All soldiers. It's time for us to kill the rest of the demons!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers became spirited again, unleashing everything they had left and killing the remaining demons.

Obviously, this news also reached the Beast Kingdom as their fastest fighters hurried back.

"…" The Venom Overlord was covered in blood as he sat down on the ground with his back leaning on the ancient demon he had just killed. His right leg was gone after fighting two ancient demons by himself.

"Old Ru… Thank you for your service."

The Lion King clenched his hands into fists. "We've won… The demon kings that have been plaguing the world for one thousand years are gone."

The Phantom, who was fighting on the western side of the Muivell Kingdom, laughed hysterically. "Nyahahaha! We are the best. Master Noel actually defeated two demon kings by himself-nya? That's insane-nya!"

Rui's reaction was different from hers.

"As expected of Master." Rui smiled. She was proud to be the disciple of such a master.

"Congrats to both of us." Layla came to her while extending her hand for a handshake."

"Not just for both of us, but for all of humanity." Rui shook her hand. "But you're going to be busy after this."

"Of course. I will definitely ask your master to send me all the airships." Rui smirked. "There are a lot of places that need our help."

In the north, Incetta and Vivi smiled.

"Alex, Margaretha, Ray. All three of you can rest now. Your descendant has finally finished what you three couldn't. All of you should be proud… And I am going to follow you three soon…" Vivi looked at Incetta, planning to fulfill her last objective.

Incetta was staring to the south as if she was looking at Noel. "Congratulations, my lord."
