After thinking it over, Barnes decided to at least go down to check the situation.
On one hand, he felt that if he missed this opportunity, it might not come again.
If the opportunity arises but isn't seized, regret is sure to follow.
On the other hand, Barnes believed that his strength should be comparable to Rein's. Even if he couldn't defeat the opponent, the opponent surely couldn't defeat him either.
In terms of safety, he considered the problem to be minor.
Lastly, there's another point.
If he went to the valley below now, Reagan and Bronson would have less distance to travel, and the three could meet up sooner.
So, Barnes packed up his belongings, picked up the device box for collecting Bloodline Essence, and swiftly headed towards the valley where the battle disturbances had just come from.
