F 0.+In the dungeon quest encounter what is wrong Volume V Note : Mikoto also translate as life I looked, all I could see were rocks. The surroundings were all shaped by the rock formations; the walls, floor and ceiling, and the air was a little moist. Chapter 1 Middle Section After walking on the slope that extended from the [Upper Floors]’s 12th floor, I came across what seemed to be a natural cave that exists on the mountainside. Since I did not know anything, perhaps this was a believable statement. As I looked at the 13th floor of the dungeon that stretched out before my eyes…… this is the place that was nicknamed the first deadline of the [Middle Floors], I suddenly thought. "So these are the Middle Floors ...... ” "Although I already have heard rumours, this place really is dimmer than the previous floors." With Welf, who had already equipped his sword and Lily, who was deftly scanning around, what awaited us was a rocky path that extended to the depths. This also was one of the pathways that led to the [Rooms]. It was obviously a single bend, but I still could not see the end. This was the first time I had come across such a long passageway. Also, near the corner of the wall there was a vertical cave opening that looked like a well --- a pit that was connected to the lower levels. Along with the dim glow, all of it was a sight that I had never seen before in the upper floors.The special characteristics of the 13th floor are connected rooms, and the passages to the rooms are extremely long. Even if we have to fight to secure our safety, we should still reach the first room as soon as possible. Listening to Lily’s suggestion, both Welf and I nodded, as if expressing our mutual confirmation. At first glance, the pathway of the 13th floor seemed to be wider than those of the upper floors, however unlike most cases, engaging in battle with the monsters on the pathway here was not a good decision. In such a narrow space, our actions will be limited and it would be difficult to effectively work with the team. If we were to be surrounded by large monsters, we would be even more powerless. A pathway packed with monsters -- our only escape route blocked, forcing us to make a Last Stand -- Thinking of such a scene only caused us to break out in a cold sweat.
