System vs Rebirth

"This is the place." Old Ru pointed at the giant building behind him. They had ventured quite far from their place, so it wasn't that surprising that they found a mysterious building out of nowhere.

"What is this building?" Noel asked while furrowing his eyebrows.

"This building is a mansion from the previous civilization. Though, this is just a normal place that I usually visit a couple of times every year. What I want from you is to beat all the monsters behind the building. There is a giant sinkhole behind this building and inside you will find a lot of monsters… So, I will wait for you here until you finish."

"Hmm?" Noel frowned. "Are you not coming with us?"

He had talked big to Dimitri that his safety was guaranteed, but it seemed that Old Ru had a different plan.

"If I come with you, you will always think that you have that assurance… Well, I won't completely leave you without nothing, so…" Old Ru took out a small piece of paper with a weird symbol on it. "This is a talisman that is imbued with my power. If you think you can't defeat your opponent, pour Spiritual Energy into this talisman and I will sense the reaction. After that, I will immediately go to help you. You should be able to withstand the onslaught for five minutes, right?"

"I see." Noel looked down, contemplating. If Old Ru went with them directly, they would definitely be unable to use all their power, thinking that Old Ru would intervene when their lives were in danger. But by doing this, they would feel a sense of urgency and make them more careful.

With their current strength, they felt like fighting a Superior Demon was possible.

However, they still lacked one thing.

Noel raised his hand. "I know that we shouldn't ask this, but considering our opponent will be a Superior Demon. May we know about the information of that demon?"

"That's true. It's not fair for two Spirit Masters to challenge a Superior Demon." Old Ru nodded. "In fact, you should be able to guess what Superior Demon you will encounter once you reach their nest. Inside that sinkhole, you can find an entrance to an extremely complex tunnel. It's a demon that lurks inside the ground that usually makes the land fertile. Just expect something quite big. And don't worry about your battle inside; the tunnel it created is quite sturdy."

Anna looked down, wondering what the demon was. Meanwhile, Noel glanced at Anna, asking, "Do you think it's possible to fight the Superior Demon?"

"There's no way we can do that normally. But it might be possible if you use both of your elements. I'll also warn you of the danger."

"Alright then." Noel nodded in agreement. "Let's go, shall we?"

"Yeah. I'm quite curious about how strong we've become with this new ability. I feel like improving the control of my Spiritual Energy causes my overall control to increase."

"I feel the same."

Before they left, Noel and Anna bowed to Old Ru. "We will go."

"Yeah. By the way, your time limit is two days. You have to kill all one thousand demons and the Superior Demon within two days."
