"It is condensed mana that you can feel," Sauros said. "It is ssing with my senses as well… since it is condensed mana that is inside a magic circle to perform ti magic."
"Is this floor magic circle?" Aion asked while looking around trying to understand what he already had saw.
"I guess all of them are… I can understand now," Sauros said while walking around. "Instead of undead creatures being controlled by sothing. It seems that your ancestor summoned copies of people that she knew to protect each floor. For this kind of magic, one would need a magic circle that has the mories or the data of soone… maybe she used their blood or hair or sothing to summon them. Either way, they aren't undead creatures, and they are copies without a soul that had a small part of their wills."
It seed that Aion could feel more mana because more mana would be needed to make copies of stronger guys. Either way, magic circles… he had also read about it, but it was a thing of the past since they required too much ti to draw. Still, it seed that they all had so strong points.
It looked like they were similar to runes… while they needed so ti to be prepared, they could better suit the needs of those who made them. In any case, Aion didn't feel the mana around disappearing, only decreasing a bit. It felt like the circle would recover its mana eventually to summon the sa person to protect the floor… so if he failed, Aion wouldn't have opened the path for soone else.
"What do you think, Seris?" Sauros asked.
"The magic circle was made on the layer between the last floor ceiling and this floor. So spell to prevent the tower from being damaged in all parts also was cast, and that spell probably uses the mana that the tower drains from the environnt to protect the magic circles," Seris explained. "I won't say that it is impossible to destroy them, but it will be hard. Also, it wouldn't be weird if this tower has so sort of chanism that will activate several magic circles to summon a lot of enemies to stop us if we try that."
"I guess we shouldn't do that, then…" Sauros said while forcing a smile. "Let's complete her challenge the way it was intended."
That seed like a pain to Aion, but it would be annoying if all the guardians of all floors suddenly appeared to attack him… annoying but a bit interesting as well. In any case, Aion wasn't suicidal, so there was no point in doing that.
"It seems that she also could find so holes in the relics… now you understand my worries?" Sauros asked.
"No," Aion replied.
"It is hard to consider this ti travel, but can you imagine how soone can use this knowledge to affect the past?" Sauros asked.
"Maybe it is possible to make a copy of myself by using this kind of magic circle, but it will probably be impossible to control perfectly," Aion said. "I don't have enough knowledge to think how I can summon a copy like that to the past, though."
"You got the gist of things, and you can make a copy with your will," Sauros said. "As for how to send the copy to the past…"
"Maybe there is so sort of way to add that kind of effect to the magic circle, or maybe create a second layer while connecting both," Aion said. "The first would work to defy ti and space after getting enough mana to do that, and once it was possible, it would send the second circle to the point in ti determined."
Sauros didn't confirm or deny that, but Aion could feel the intense glares coming from behind. It seed that his guess was a pretty good one… or Maybe those two never imagined that it would be sothing like that…
The group headed toward the next floor, and things didn't change that much. Aion faced a female spearman, a fire mage, and then a man that could make the air vibrate with his fists. The difficulty level was increasing, but he managed to win by himself.

Since Aion could tell that things would change a bit on the next floor, which was the tenth, he wondered if it was ti to improve so of the skills of his class. He hadn't been using them a lot, and their levels were low since Aion only fought small fries aside from the frozen dusa head… in any case, he decided to make his choice once he reached the next floor and found the enemy.
Sauros and Seris also looked nervous since they also had the feeling that things would change on the next floor… However, they didn't notice anything that much different when it ca to the mana level or the appearance of the floor.
Things changed a lot when another cloaked figure appeared and imdiately began to fly. After opening its arms, so purple mist began to leave the interior of the cloak, and Aion could tell that was so bad news…
