At the same time.

"Heh?! The Master isn't sunbathing?"

Vylyss had just returned to the territory, intending to report on the situation in the Zombie Zone to Noan.

That's right—the area where zombies had been created in preparation for the upcoming event. Noan had decided to name it the Zombie Zone.

At that moment, a female NPC informed her that Noan was busy and couldn't meet with her.

"Hm… where is the Master?" Vylyss frowned and asked.

The female NPC respectfully bowed her head and then pointed toward a dome-shaped structure that resembled half an egg resting on the ground.

"Ah! A new facility?" Vylyss's eyes gleamed with intense curiosity, and she immediately flew toward the peculiar building.

"Hm…" She circled the structure, feeling puzzled. She had no idea how to enter since she couldn't use spatial magic to slip inside.

She also couldn't break the door open, so all she could do was wander around, searching for a way in.

But after searching for a while, Vylyss still couldn't find an entrance, so in the end, she had no choice but to wait outside obediently.

Thirty minutes later, Noan emerged, his expression slightly disappointed.

"Master ~"

When Vylyss saw Noan, she immediately lunged at him, wrapping her arms tightly around him, greedily inhaling the masculine scent on his body.

"Mm… so nice…" Like a lazy cat, Vylyss nestled against Noan's chest, rubbing herself against him with no intention of letting go.

Noan chuckled, shaking his head. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just missed you a lot, Master," Vylyss whined. "It's been two days since we last slept together. Master, I can't take it anymore."

Noan gently stroked Vylyss's head. "No need to rush. I have something really interesting. Do you want to see it?"

Hearing this, Vylyss lowered her gaze, glancing down at the lower part of Noan before smirking greedily.

"Hehehe… Master, of course, I want to see it."

Noan: "..."

Are you serious right now?

He shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. I was talking about this house."

"Heh?!" Vylyss tilted her head in confusion, glancing toward the entrance. All she could see was pitch-black darkness, unable to discern anything inside.

"Let's go!"

To prevent Vylyss from getting any strange ideas, Noan quickly pulled her inside and began explaining the purpose of the house.

After hearing Noan's explanation, Vylyss was amazed by how incredible the place was.

To demonstrate, Noan immediately set the environment to the same one they had encountered during their first battle with the Mutant Hunter.

In an instant, the surrounding space transformed into a dense forest, and a Mutant Hunter stood ten meters away.

"Ah! That's… the monster from that day."

"That's right."

Seeing Vylyss's surprise, Noan continued explaining, "You can choose to level up the simulated monsters or increase their numbers."

Vylyss's eyes lit up with excitement.

In this place, no matter how much damage she took, even if she died, it wouldn't affect reality.

This was the ultimate training ground—no place in the world was better than this.

Noan grinned and said, "Try fighting that monster first."

Vylyss pouted, her eyes filled with disdain.

She might have been wary of that monster when she was only a Peak D-rank Succubus.

But now things were different—she was a Fallen Believer at B-rank. How could that creature possibly pose a threat to her?

"Master, you're underestimating me too much. That monster is no longer capable of threatening me."

"Hahaha…"

Noan laughed loudly but said nothing. Instead, he began operating the system panel.

In an instant, the single Mutant Hunter multiplied into ten.

"Is this enough?"

"Perfect!"

Vylyss's eyes gleamed with excitement, and the next moment, she lunged into battle.

Noan stood to the side, observing. According to the System's notification, the Mutant Hunters were nearing C-rank, with all their stats well-balanced.

That was what made Mutant Hunters so terrifying.

He had thought ten would be enough to challenge Vylyss—but he had been wrong.

Vylyss wasted no time. When she raised her hand, countless chains pierced the surrounding space, shooting straight toward the Mutant Hunters.

The creatures moved swiftly, their speed astonishing.

However, the chains were different from before. The Mutant Hunters were fast, but the chains were even faster.

A dark energy enveloped the chains, carrying a terrifying power that could even tear through space itself.

Clang! Clang!

There was no intense battle. The fight ended in an instant.

In less than a minute, all ten Mutant Hunters were annihilated.

Vylyss retracted her chains, hovering in mid-air. With an arrogant expression, she looked at Noan and said, "Hehehe… Master, give me more. This isn't enough."

Noan smirked and said, "Then let's raise their rank."

Immediately, ten more Mutant Hunters appeared.

However, Vylyss could tell right away that these were completely different from the ones before.

"Vylyss, be careful. These Mutant Hunters are all C-rank, Level 1."

Vylyss was slightly surprised but quickly engaged in an even fiercer battle.

Despite the increased difficulty, a few minutes later, she emerged victorious once again.

Noan frowned, then continued adjusting the simulation. He wanted to see exactly where Vylyss's limit was.

Soon after, a single B-rank Mutant Hunter appeared.

The sheer killing intent it emitted was so overwhelming that Noan himself felt fear—even though he knew it was only a simulation and wouldn't attack him.

Vylyss's expression turned deadly serious as she clashed with the B-rank Mutant Hunter.

This time, the battle was truly brutal.

The ground was completely overturned, trees shattered into splinters, and the landscape was utterly destroyed.

At one point, Noan saw Vylyss appear almost like an angel—gripping a black spear, a glowing white halo above her head, and her eyes radiating a brilliant pink light.

Three sources of power, completely unrelated and even opposing in nature, somehow worked together, generating an unimaginably terrifying force.

Vylyss threw her spear.

The speed was so insane that Noan could only see a streak of black light lingering in the air.

Then—BOOM!

A deafening explosion erupted, and for a moment, the world seemed to split into two colours—white and black.

The battle was over.

The B-rank Mutant Hunter was dead.

When he looked at the explosion's aftermath, Noan felt an increasing sense of awe—and perhaps even fear—.

The blast had left behind a crater over 1,000 meters wide and more than ten meters deep.

Was this Vylyss's power?

It was no different from a nuclear bomb in the form of a beautiful woman.

Vylyss had already returned to her normal state—this was the beauty of the Combat Simulation Room.

There was no need to worry about fatigue, injuries, or even death. All she needed to do was focus on battle and training.

However, the Combat Simulation Room had its limitations.

First, it could not simulate monsters Noan had never encountered nor recreate battles between Lords.

The second inconvenience was that it could only simulate combat. If a monster wielded weapons, the system could not replicate them.

For example, if a Mutant Hunter had claws, the System could simulate them because they were a natural part of the creature.

However, if it wielded a shield or a sword, the System could not generate those items, meaning that any weapons not inherently part of a monster's body would not appear in the simulation.

Despite these flaws, Noan was confident that he would eventually find a way to upgrade the facility and unlock even more advanced features.

…

While Noan and Vylyss enjoyed exploring the Combat Simulation Room, Caleb and Austin continued their journey deeper into the cave.

The further they went, the colder Caleb felt. The growing sense of unease inside him became nearly unbearable.

"Austin, we've gone too far already," Caleb said urgently.

Austin clicked his tongue in annoyance. "You're seriously such a coward. We've only travelled about three miles. That proves this cave might lead us out of this barren wasteland."

Caleb sighed. He knew he couldn't convince Austin, so he had no choice but to follow him deeper inside.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Austin stopped in his tracks and let out a surprised exclamation. "Look at this, Caleb!"

Caleb raised his head and looked forward.

What he saw was a massive stone gate.

The gate stood five meters tall and over three meters wide, covered in intricate carvings depicting strange creatures.

"That is…"
