System vs Rebirth

"So, this is the mine." Noel carefully looked around. The entrance turned out to be a natural cave. He suspected that this cave was actually a small vent of the previous active volcano that directly connected to the outside. But now that they weren't active anymore, it could connect them to the inside of the volcano.

"Yeah. From my experience, the volcano never erupted again…"

"How long was it?"

"I only know about four years from now though."

"That is enough. In four years, I don't think anyone can challenge us anymore." Noel nodded with a serious expression. He selected the Demon Hunter medal while asking, "Do you sense anything from the inside?"

"My instinct doesn't warn me of anything. I don't think there is a demon nest inside."

"Even though it's a perfect place to create one? This place is filled with minerals…"

"Yes, but if you think about it, the Demon Banner Army first cleared the area and created a new border, right?"

"Ah, I almost forgot about it. Yeah, the Demon Banner Army should have known about this place and cleared it up first." Noel agreed with her statement. Considering both of them had a lot of experience in the Demon Banner Army, they knew that the Demon Banner Army had considered this place.

"Should we go deeper?" Anna asked.

"Sure. I have to make sure this place is safe before sending the people to mine it." Noel nodded.

Both of them smiled and closed their eyes for a second to activate the Moon Blessing.

The cave lit up in their vision as both of them confirmed that they could see each other in this darkness.

"Let's go." Noel waved his hand and continued. The tunnel itself was quite big. It had a radius of three meters, allowing numerous people to come and go.

The rock was extremely sturdy, so they could definitely create a mine here without fearing it would collapse. The problem would be whether the enemies would attack them or not.

"This is going to be a problem." Noel frowned.
