After more than an hour of trekking, Rein soon found the abandoned mine that the Zaral rebellion forces used as their stronghold, nestled in undulating hills.
Rein had previously engaged in a brief battle, and despite its short duration, the full-throttle explosion along with the use of the secret technique "Earth-splitting Hammer" twice had significantly drained his physical energy.
Now, after another hour of a 'forced march', his physical condition had dropped to about 60 to 70 percent of its peak.
Although Rein already knew that there were no strong figures guarding the enemy, there was an old saying from his past life, "Pride goes before a fall," and furthermore, there was no guarantee that the rebels hadn't made any sudden personnel changes.
Thus, after a moment of consideration, Rein decided to add a point to his Spirit Attribute to quickly recover his physical condition.
