System vs Rebirth

After following the route for a bit more, they finally reached the pattern that acted as a wall.

"Hoh?" Anna squinted her eyes, amused by this one. In front of them stood tall a wall that completely blocked the entire path. "Are we going to tear this up?"

"So, our strongest strength? But then again, we have to carefully examine it before coming to that conclusion. We don't like to be buried here after all." Noel shook his head helplessly.

"Well, I don't know what we should do right now. I mean, look at this wall…" She walked to the wall and placed her ear on it before gently knocking the wall to measure the thickness. To her surprise, the wall itself wasn't quite thick, making her want to smash it open.

Meanwhile, Noel was inspecting the wall, wanting to see if there was anything special from this wall.

"This should be the wall separating us from whatever is inside the last mountain, right?" Anna glanced at Noel.

"Yeah. I don't know much about structure, but don't you think this cave will collapse if we break the wall?" Noel raised his vision, noticing the wall was holding up a giant stone that was different from the rest of the ceiling.

"What do you mean?" Anna was confused and followed his line of sight, noticing the same thing. "Ah! The difference in structure… If we break the wall, the different stone placed on top of the wall will fall down. I think that's the mechanism."

"That's what I'm talking about. So, there must be another mean to enter." Noel nodded with a serious expression.

"Your Family Crest? Do you have your crest?" Anna asked.

"I'm a fallen noble. Do you think I can still have a family crest? You must be joking." Noel narrowed his eyes.

"Alright, alright. Don't look at me that way… I was just trying to suggest something." Anna looked away while waving her hands down to calm him down.

I think there's another solution." Noel thought for a moment. "I don't know if this is a bit of a stretch, but how about I use my sword to cut my hand and smear my
