Floor six was completed quickly. When we were done, we stopped at the top of the stairway leading to seven. Unlike most dungeon explorers, we didn’t need to get through the next five floors or lose progress. We could bide our ti and return to exactly where we last were. The only worriso thing about that is the potential we run right into a group of monsters upon returning.
“Is this it? Is temptation just the fact that the drops are good? This feels like every other dungeon.”
After working through the sixth floor, I felt a bit disappointed. It was really more of the sa. More monsters, more pathways, slightly different the. I had expected that since the dungeon had a the, we’d be doing sothing other than killing monsters. Like, a treasure room where we couldn’t touch any of the treasure. Now, that is a temptation.
I asked this question as we rested for a mont before heading to floor seven. Floor six contained Chinchilla Beasts, a large rodent with ridiculously soft fur. They dropped their skin, which was apparently used to line coats in expensive clothing. The other monster were called Angry Salmon. It was literally a Salmon the could float through the air. It even dropped Salmon cutlets. It felt like everything this floor dropped were luxury items. I could make a killing.
“No, seriously, isn’t it you guys who are strange?” Raissa spoke up.
“How so?”
“Compared to Dirage, there is about ten tis the number of traps in this dungeon. Although I’ve been doing my best to avoid them for you, it seems almost unbelievable that you’re able to completely avoid every one. On top of that, these monsters are exceptionally hard for such a low level. In Dirage, you wouldn’t find monsters like this until past level 10!”
“Oh… I guess that makes sense.”
In truth, I was using my map and sense trap to map out everything, so I managed to avoid all of the traps. After my experience with death last night, I was a lot more cautious than I was yesterday. I also hadn’t cleared the floor using the monster lures for this reason. These monsters were a bit tough to bring down, and three or more of them could beco tough. Fortunately, we defeated them quickly, and when more than a few gathered, Terra used Earth to direct and delay them.
I supposed in a normal situation, creating walls of Earth at random was a taxing process that most mages could only do in a hurry. I tried it once, and it wiped out all my mana and it was still only half the size of Terra’s. That was the difference between an Earth Elental and a human with Earth Magic. So, what would end up happening is if they got greedy and tried to bite off more than they could chew. They’d end up being overwheld by the rodents and torn apart.
“Well, whether or not we’re abnormal, we need to keep moving forward.” I decided to keep us moving forward.
We went on to the seventh floor.
