The pathway did not seem to deviate by much. There were no turns or maze-like dead ends. It reminded of Gram’s Passageway, although while that was a massive cavern with the room to move a full cart and horses through, this path was a hallway only large enough for two people to stand abreast. If we did end up having to fight, one person would have to take on the brunt of the battle, while the others would be trapped in the back only able to support. This was one of the reasons I wasn’t too worried about having Cici and Chance right behind .
Of course, accidents could always happen. This might have worried , but I also had one other trick up my sleeve. I could do a position shift with anyone in my party. I made sure I was at a party with the Titan Fall girls. If push ca to shove, I could instantly teleport to the back of the line and bring one of them to the front. This was sothing Alysia and I had discussed with them ahead of ti.
Thus, I remained on the lookout for any red enemies, ready to take them out quickly so we could continue onward. If I got overwheld, I could fall back into a supporting role, which was arguably always had been my forte. I remained in that state for so ti, but nearly an hour of walking later, and we didn’t co up against a single enemy. I finally approached a large doorway to the side of the hallway. There was a 1 written on it.

“We’re there!” Calypso announced in a chipper voice.
“What do you an, we’re here?” I shot back. “I thought you said the monsters spawn here.”
“They spawn, and then they leave.” She shrugged. “They don’t hunt these hallways.”
“How is this a gauntlet? You said it would be easier, but this is like the dungeon isn’t even trying!”
“You still need to defeat the six bosses, don’t you?” She shot back.
I let out a breath, deciding it wasn’t worth arguing with her. She could have told that there wouldn’t be any enemies. I wouldn’t have been stressing out for the last hour. In retrospect, this was probably for the best. How could we catch up or surpass the Fey if we didn’t have an advantage that was at least this much? Whatever I just wanted to get this over with.
“Cici, Chance, stay back here.” I declared.
“What?”
“No!”
“If you wish to enter the dungeon room from this direction, Cici will have to be a mber of your party.” Calypso declared.
I clenched my teeth for a second, but there was nothing I could do. With a sigh, I gave a nod. I wasn’t going to leave Chance out here alone. She was even younger than Cici! I did want them to get so experience. I guess it had to end up this way, fighting bosses in a dungeon.
“Let’s go!” I shoved open the door, heading into the first boss room of the Champion’s Gauntlet.
