Noel looked around, amazed by the scenery. To think there was a place this beautiful inside the cave. However, the cloud in the sky seemed to be moving, making him realize that this place was connected to the outside.

"Just call me Old Ru. That's enough."

"If that's so? The exit is over there." Old Ru smirked while pointing at the cave where they had come out earlier.

"Old Ru." Noel immediately corrected himself.
