System vs Rebirth

Noel gradually opened his eyes, only to be greeted by a pitch darkness. Still, some light managed to enter his eyes, making him realize that he wasn't isolated.

Because he didn't understand the situation, Noel opened his eyes with a serious expression, trying to assess his current situation.

"This place…" Noel muttered. He could see some charred walls and black soil. The smell of burnt had been trapped inside, but surprisingly, he wasn't that much bothered by it.

Despite being burned, there was no smoke produced, so Noel didn't feel anything from the current situation.

Noel tried to check his body's condition by circulating his Spiritual Energy, but as he expected, there was no change except for the new Spirit Link.

"Ardagan, Heisk," Noel called their names in a low voice.

Unfortunately, there wasn't any reply from them. It seemed that the two spirits had worked too hard to forge the Spirit Link.

As a result, he could sense a deep connection with his fire. If before, the fire was something that had been given to him, the current feeling made him think that it had become a part of him.

"I see. The Spirit Link is a kind of direct connection between me and that part of absolute fire. In other words, the current Undying Fire has the characteristic I've set up, but also the intensity of that absolute fire. Although it won't be enough to suppress other flames, it should be enough to influence them. It's no wonder that Ardagan needs me to reach the Spirit Grandmaster Stage first before attempting this."

Noel took a deep breath, calming his heart down. While he had confirmed that everything was alright, he still didn't know where he was.

It appeared that he was sealed in a room with some windows, but looking around, he could only find charred soil and rocks.

As if noticing Noel's movement, someone's voice echoed from above.

"He's got up!"

"?!" Noel was confused and hurriedly raised his head, only to have a blank mind for a few seconds to process everything he saw.

He was actually inside a giant hole. Its size was about three meters in radius and the depth almost reached ten meters. He couldn't help but think he was inside a giant well at this point.

But if he thought about it, he realized that he was the one who created this hole. The charred wall had shown that his flame was burning so fiercely that it reduced everything underneath him into nothing. If he continued, he might not be able to come out.

In fact, he should feel lucky that the ground underneath him didn't contain any water.

As soon as he noticed a movement coming from Noel, Raincart immediately used his ice element to form a ladder and shouted, "Come up! There are a lot of things I want to say."
