Chapter 590 Laufey Ardagan

Aside from the king and the Third Prince, there were some other groups that received the news.

One of them was none other than the Supreme Devil Organization, specifically Noel's uncle, Laufey Ardagan.

"That's what happened, Sir." The woman, who was known as Serpent, kneeled before a middle-aged man. The middle aged man didn't have black hair like Noel or his father. He instead had short spiky brown hair.

They were inside a room. There was nothing special in the room, only one table on the side, a window that became the source of the lighting of this room, and the chair at the opposite side of the room where Laufey sat.

When he heard the report, his expression instantly became cold. "You couldn't even handle such a thing?"

"There were a lot of variables, Sir. If I didn't escape, there were already five Spirit Grandmasters that might attack me. The least I could do was esc" The woman suddenly stopped because he felt the sudden s.h.i.+ft in his position.

She widened her eyes in shock because the next thing she realized, she was standing in front of the wall. And Laufey Ardagan had stood in front of her, extending his hand.

*Bam!*

"Gah!" The serpent coughed because her neck was choked and she was pinned to the wall. "Sir"

She looked at Laufey, who was raising her as if trying to make her stop breathing. She struggled a bit, but it was useless. She couldn't attack her superior as well.

"One thousand years ago, the great Ardagan gave a book to the Greenwood Kingdom's royal family as dowry. The book led to a controversy and there were many people that wanted the book.

"In the end, the book was gone, replaced with a new one. Unfortunately, that new one was the inferior version. Yes, That's the book of the Spirit Enchantment.

"The great Ardagan left his legacy. But contrary to normal people's beliefs, the legacy was far simpler than anyone could imagine. There were only three books and the sword that accompanied him.

"There was nothing like the Spirit Enchantment to the point people thought the great Ardagan abandoned his future generations. However, after searching frantically for an answer, I got the real answer.

"The real inheritance was not the books. It was the sword. The sword carried all his legacy. It was proved even further by that brat's swordsmans.h.i.+p.

"That's why the kid would bring out the Spirit Enchantment inheritance sooner or later. That's why I tasked you to retrieve the books for me! Yet, you failed the job."

Laufey's eyes started emitting killing intent.

The woman was gasping for air as she struggled while trying to explain herself. "Please give me a second chance, Sir. I wil"

"Shut up!" Laufey gritted his teeth. "You were lucky that I didn't kill you right away!"

Laufey started releasing his Spiritual Energy out of anger. The Spiritual Energy was so violent that the entire room cracked in an instant.

The woman stopped struggling out of fear. The suppression also tried to crush her body. If not for the fact she was a Devil Bishop, she would have died.

'This is' The woman had the shock of her life. The person before her was one of the two Devil Saints the Supreme Devil Organization had. His strength had reached Spirit Transcendence.

Even with the kingdom's power, the only one that could stop them was either the commander of the Demon Banner Army or the Captain of the Twelve Arbiters.

Their strength was already beyond anyone's reach. And the fact that Laufey could reach this point was one of the books that he stole from the Ardagan Family.

If one book alone was able to allow him to reach this stage, what if he got all the books? She couldn't imagine what kind of existence he would become. Yet, he said those three books were not the true inheritance.

She couldn't help but wonder what would happen to Noel, who had the Ardagan Sword, the sword that was said to be the real inheritance. He might surpa.s.s this stage in the future.

Laufey gritted his teeth. He wanted to kill this woman, but it was true that she was more useful when she was alive.

He seemed to be contemplating whether he should spare her or not. Although she was about to run out of air and her face already became as pale as a dead person, she tried to avoid making any movement or sound so as to avoid angering him. At the very least, she got the chance to live.

Her consciousness started to disappear due to the lack of air. But it seemed that she got her second chance as her body dropped to the ground.

*Cough!*

*Cough!*

*Cough!*

She was holding her neck while coughing. She tried to get as much air as possible out of instinct. Tears were coming out of the corner of her eyes and her body fell limp.

When she was trying to regain her composure, Laufey opened his mouth. "You are still useful to me. So, I won't kill you yet.

"That's why I'll give you another chance to prove that my decision to keep you alive is not wrong. You shall investigate Noel Ardagan's death. Everyone said that his corpse had been eaten, but those monsters wouldn't be able to destroy the sword.

"Investigate his death and find the sword. If you can't find the sword, don't bother to come back."

"Y-yes, Sir." She struggled to answer him. Although her body was weak, she tried her best to drag her body out of the room.

She knew that if she stayed any longer, she would die. So, she used the last bit of her body to leave while gritting his teeth.

People said Noel Ardagan had died, but Laufey didn't believe it. After all, there was nothing they brought back as proof of his death. Even the sword was missing, so she had to investigate the entire area to see whether the demons had stolen the sword or not.
