Adam was surprised and impressed by the speed of the traps along with how difficult they were to see and sense.
Picking up one of the pins, Adam could see that it was coated in so sort of purple substance and the fingers that he had used to pick up the extrely thin pin began turning black and decaying.
Since it hadn't penetrated his body and was only touched by his skin, Adam was able to easily and quickly expel the small amount of poison on his fingertips as Adam realised just how dangerous the traps were.
He hadn't seen anywhere that any arrows or bullets could be fired, which was what he was expecting, but he was once again reminded that he was in the middle of a dangerous castle and he had to be more careful.
Adam practised and began perfecting his muscle control and stealth, while using the floor traps as a way to train.
Each ti he set off a trap, Adam would use the Step Skip Skill to dodge the pins that were laced in poison and throughout the long corridor that followed after the entrance, Adam used it for practice.
He was becoming better and better the more he tried and since he had a good grasp of the speed of the pins being launched at him whenever he set off a trap, he knew the exact timing of when to use the Step Skip Skill to avoid them.
After reaching the end of the corridor, there was a patch of ground that wasn't ford of tiles and seed to be safe from traps, which Adam tested before standing on it.
From there, there were three other paths that he could take and Adam was planning to go on all three paths and morising every path he took so that he could form a map of the large castle within his mind.
It had quite a few floors and each of them were likely to be filled with traps and are likely to have many different routes and paths, which makes the castle a giant maze filled with traps.
However, Adam was also hoping that it was filled with treasure or sothing useful that might show him a use for the stones that he had or help him find out the possible secret mission of the floor.
Adam beca much more careful as he road around the castle and despite it being dimly lit and his spiritual sense being blocked, he was still very aware of his surroundings using his very sharp physical senses.
After a few hours of going around the castle, Adam was shocked and disappointed to find that there weren't only rooms and rely paths that went all around the castle and led to different stairs that could either take him up or down.
There were all kinds of traps other than the poison pins, such as large boulders falling from above, and all kinds of weapons being thrown at him, but he hadn't found one thing that was useful.
Despite being careful and skilled in avoiding the traps, Adam had suffered quite a few injuries and had also been poisoned quite a few tis, but each ti he would heal himself straight away with the Ethereal Recovery Skill, then continue exploring the castle.
Adam had a pretty detailed layout of the entire castle within his mind and still hadn't found anything that seed useful or out of the ordinary.
He had also tried breaking through a few of the walls, but it was to no avail since they all seed to be sohow be extrely durable and unbreakable.
One thing he found weird was that the traps would keep being renewed and sotis even changed, which made the castle unpredictable and made him wonder whether soone or sothing was controlling it or whether the castle was sohow alive.
He also found that sotis traps would be set off and he would be attacked without him even setting them off, which also gave him suspicions about so sort of entity manipulating what was occurring, but he had no way to confirm his theory.
His instincts were telling him that there was more to the castle and the traps were becoming increasingly difficult to handle and the shield he had brought with him had been destroyed by one of the traps that launched an explosive cannonball towards him.
Since he needed so ti to rest and also hadn't made any progress with the castle, Adam still had his suspicions about it and was still planning to explore it again and search for whatever it was hiding, but before then, he wanted to start getting rid of the rest of the Goblin Beasts.
He needed to kill every Goblin Beast to finish the floor and Ava also hinted that there was a secret, hidden mission that he could solve and if he did, he would most likely be rewarded or find sothing useful.
Unlike on Floor 0 where he was weak and reckless, Adam wasn't planning to let anything slip out of his grasp and wanted to make sure that he gained any power or enhancents that he could in any way possible.
So he decided that he would kill most of the Goblin Beasts on the floor and leave a few so that the floor wasn't completed and he still had the opportunity to search the castle a second ti.
Even if the gates of the castle didn't allow him to enter, he was pretty sure that he could break through and his ti that he spent in the castle wasn't a waste of ti as he had trained his reflexes and control, while also forming a map of the castle within his mind.
Using the map that he had formulated within his mind, Adam found the quickest and most direct pathway towards the gate that he found was the only entrance and only way out of the castle.
However, getting out of the castle wasn't as easy as he thought as he was suddenly bombarded with even more traps than when he entered.
