As Evie and the rest of the won ascend to the second floor, back in Zen's area, he was casually teasing Krista Dragoon.
"Can you stop fooling around in this kind of situation?" Krista Dragoon spouted in an irritated mood.
They were trapped in a labyrinth without knowing the exit besides reaching the 100th floor yet Zen is being carefree.
He was so casual that he didn't even seem to take this labyrinth seriously where one mistake can lead to their death or injure them to a critical state.
Zen shrugged his shoulder as he exclaid, "Being serious or not? Does it make any difference that we're currently stuck here?"
Krista Dragoon was dumbstruck by his word as it made sense yet she felt it doesn't feel right at the sa ti.
"N-No, that's just a twisted way of thinking. We need to stay composed and calm at all tis to not get ambushed by any more monsters." Krista Dragoon exclaid when she needed to add so common sense in this dreadful situation.
However, Zen was only laughing when he heard Krista Dragoon's words, almost like he was listening to a codian.
"Stop laughing and fooling around. I'm serious," Krista Dragoon's face turned red in anger as she clenched her fist.
"Staying composed and alert at all tis. Such great words." Zen clapped his hand and continued.
"Remind who was the one almost overstepping the boundary line and about to eat a barrage of acid shots if it weren't for my quick action?"
Zen's word was like a thunderstrike into Krista Dragoon when she rembered her previous action.
A bashful expression appeared on her face as she was speechless to co up with anything to retort him.
Zen smiled wickedly when he cornered her once again, "Since you know who's the one that is truly carefree then shouldn't that soone apologize to ?"
Krista Dragoon gritted her teeth in anger and scoffed as she ran away, not bothering to criticize his behavior any further.
'Oi, did you think you can leave scot-free after reprimanding ?' Zen sighed inwardly but decided to let her go.
He has nothing but ti, thanks to this labyrinth to lt her heart. Thus, he was in no rush to tease her more as he continued to stroll around this area while trying to discover sothing hidden.
Zen continued to explore the area where the crazy slis had scouted the area already and confird it to be safe without any hidden traps.
Leila Dragoon and Krista Dragoon slowly followed behind as they didn't want to be left alone in a gloomy and creepy room.
Although they haven't admitted themselves yet, they are slowly relying on Zen despite his carefree attitude.
Zen may seem casual but in reality, his sense and alertness were at the highest level as he does not know what to expect here.
It was the first ti he ever explored a labyrinth and without knowing much details about the monsters lurking here, he has to be cautious at everything.
Not showing the serious mode of him to Leila Dragoon and Krista Dragoon was Zen being considerate of them. There was no point in making them frightful as well.
'The wall in here is relatively new, considering there is no dust.' Zen exclaid inwardly as he used his finger to wipe the wall slightly.
By doing so, Zen can tell these walls are recently built and not left here for a long ti. Dust accumulated over ti if not cleaned properly so there were two deductions he got.
One, there is soone regularly cleaning the wall or two, it could be a new place and they are the first challengers here.
"Why are you scraping the walls? Aren't they dirty?" Krista Dragoon asked softly since she was bored when Leila Dragoon had no intention to chat besides using her mystic eye to look around the place they passed through.
"Try and touch the wall yourself. You will know the answer when you feel it." Zen said as he continued to walk forward to the worker slis.
Krista Dragoon was annoyed by his tone. 'Aren't you being too petty now?'
Still, she touched the wall slightly and beca dumbfounded by the cleanness and smoothness of the wall.
'This texture is so smooth.' Krista Dragoon said inwardly as she ca to the sa deduction as Zen instantly.
Smart people wouldn't take a second to know what one thing ans, while stupid people would take forever to even co up with a simple conclusion.
anwhile, a crazy sli started jumping up and down when it saw Zen approaching him.
"Have you discovered the exit to this floor yet?" Zen asked calmly as he held the crazy sli up into his arm.
It was comfortable to hold one so Zen couldn't help himself from petting his slimy head where he can inject his hand into his body.
The hand becos transparent in the crazy sli body and Zen can feel a warm temperature, almost like a massage.
The crazy sli held a blissful expression as he said, "Replying to master, we have discovered the staircase to the 2nd floor already. However, so other monsters were lurking in so corner so the other crazy slis are currently decimating them with their acid shot."
Zen smiled brightly as he praised the crazy sli's efficient and fast-paced work. He couldn't imagine how troubleso it would be to find all the monsters lurking on this floor while trying to find the way up.
'Hmm, but it's weird that they have stairs when it should have been more efficient to have a teleportation array.' Zen ponders inwardly.
They were teleported here by an unbelievably large teleportation array yet to ascend to the next floor, they must climb the stair.
Zen had a terrible experience with stairs before when he was being tested by Cecilia during their first eting.
A chill ran through his body as Zen hurriedly shook his head to not rember the bad mory where he was exhausted to the point of fainting.
"Great, show the monster corpse on the way to the stair," Zen said to the crazy sli in his hand. The crazy sli jumped down from Zen's arm as he started walking to his companion while they followed behind.
