System vs Rebirth

Noel continued to the next floor.

He found something slightly different on this floor. Instead of all the tubes with demon corpses, he actually found a lot of big machines. He didn't understand their function.

Next to the door were two big machines: one was a big cylinder-shaped machine, and the other was a cube. There were a few more complicated machines scattered in the room. However, they did have one thing in common. All of them were not active.

Considering this facility was a thousand years old buildings, there was no way the energy source could still provide them.

There was one more thing that piqued his interest.

"It's getting cold here." Noel measured the temperature with his bare skin. If not for the fact that he had both ice and fire spirits, he would have trouble adjusting to it.

He could only think of one possible reason. "It seems that I'm about to reach the bottom floor. I wonder what will await me."

Noel still didn't sense a single demon lying nearby. Since the ones he had found were dead, the Demon Hunter Medal didn't pick it up. So, if there was really another demon lying in the ambush, they should have died.

"Still, it's quite surprising that even with a facility like this, they don't install any booby traps." Noel looked around. After confirming that he couldn't find a single record, Noel continued to the next floor.

The temperature decreased even further. This time, the floor was filled with a lot of items. He could recognize some because it was a part of his job when he was with the Demon Relief Squad.

Noel easily recognized the room as storage. There were many shelves storing all kinds of items. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything useful. Hence, Noel left the floor, heading to the next one.

And in this place, he finally saw the end of the stairs.

"Hmm?" Noel examined the stair. Since there were no more stairs, the area was turned into small storage. There was nothing suspicious among the items, so Noel headed to the door leading to the last room.

But when he held the door handle, he noticed it was so cold that even his hand almost got frozen.
