It took us a while, but we finally arrived at the third floor. The monster population here wasn't much different from the floor before, consisting mostly of Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Orcs., with the only addition being the Lunar Glowstrikers, a species of lizard-like beasts whose tail produces a silvery glow.
The presence of these beasts on the third floor makes it the most popular floor in this dungeon.
First, these beasts vary a lot in size and strength, but they are usually not very strong, even at the level gap, so they are seen as an easy way to get experience.
Hunting them to cut their tails is a somewhat safe way to earn money as an adventurer since you don't need to go very deep on this floor to find them. They also have a higher tendency to approach a settlement in comparison with Orcs and Goblins.
Given that, the number of adventurers on this floor is comparable to the previous, and might actually be higher, making it an exception to the rule where the lower the floors you find yourself in a dungeon, the fewer people you'll see.
This makes it a bit awkward for me though, since I want to get as much experience as I can, and having to share it with other people is a big detriment when my Gift makes it so that our entire party gets the same experience as if the monster was defeated solo.
With this goal in mind, we went straight for the deeper parts of the floor, so as to avoid making unnecessary contact with others.
Mia was at a higher level than the current cap, so with her at the frontline we didn't have much trouble dealing with the enemies in our way up until a certain point.
Actually, I had to make her slow down a bit since the difference in levels between the monsters and the other girls was starting to become worrisome, and while Mia was fine, the rest of us could end up unnecessarily hurt.
Going at a fast pace was great and all, but the priority was the safety of our members.
Even more so since this floor can be deceitfully dangerous.
While the safety around the settlements is high thanks to the number of people and a high population of Lunar Glowstrikers, the deeper floors hide a great trap for those lured into a false sense of security.
In there, it's common to find tamed Lunar Glowstrikers mounted by the other monsters, and while they aren't such a big problem by themselves, it's often said that facing a mounted enemy is much harder.
Not only that, you can't think of them as a single-unit enemy, since even if you manage to bring a monster down from those lizards, you'll still have to face both of them.
And that's with only one "raider
