The Martial Unity

The tunnels in the Shionel Dungeon were effectively no different from 'cracks that formed between each of the larger spaces that had been dubbed as floors. What that meant was that there were tunnels that connected every floor with every other floor.

However, there were also a huge number of tunnels that simply ended in dead-ends, sometimes extending for dozens of kilometers before still ending in dead-ends. What that meant was that anybody aspiring to enter the dungeon would need to risk an immense amount of failure, as well as losing track of where they were and how to get out.

The Shionel Dungeon's dangers were not limited to just the monsters. Even Martial Squired could get endlessly lost inside the dungeon if they were not careful.

Thus most Martial Squires ventured down known routes to known floors.

The First Floor of the Shionel Dungeon had been quickly discovered once the dungeon was discovered, probably due to close it was to the surface of the elevated land, and from there, numerous runnels leading to the first floor had also been reverse-tracked. From there, tunnels to other floors had been quickly discovered by Martial Squires who chose to venture further out.

"As much as I instantly want to pick a new route, I think we should get ourselves accustomed to the Shionel Dungeon's environment first," Rui told Kane. "It's one thing to make preparations, it's an entirely different to have experience and familiarity."

Kane nodded. "I'm one hundred percent on that."

He looked particularly relieved that they were not jumping some unknown cave tunnel right off the bat.

The two of them quickly strode forward before taking their very first step into the Shionel Dungeon.

"Woah," Rui's eyes widened.

"This…" Kane grew speechless as the two of them walked in deeper.
