The Martial Unity

Rui glanced at the ice-cold Bellhorn Steel blade in admiration and excitement, the blade's destructiveness to the Whitemane Dust present in the monster's body was greater than he had imagined. He had gained a lot more confidence in dealing with the monsters of the Shionel Dungeon. He hadn't had a chance to use the heating pipe that he had brought with him, but that was more meant for a situation when he was back up against the wall against a larger number.

Rui had to admit that he had grown a little too careless for a moment scanning distant locations away with his Riemannian Echo, that he didn't notice a monster arriving that close to them for quite some time.

He glanced down at the heavily sliced corpse. "But a catoblepas, huh? I heard they were supposed to be annihilated on the earlier floors, but I guess not entirely."

It must have been a straggler that managed to escape into the countless tunnels that existed in the Shionel Dungeon. Unless someone ran into it, they would never know it survived since nobody asides from him could surveil worth a damn inside the Shionel Dungeon.

"Come on, the first floor is just up ahead," Rui helped Kane up as they headed onwards, before eventually reaching their initial destination.

"Woah," Kane muttered when he finally got a look at it. "It's huge!"

The first floor had clearly been cleaned up especially well, to the point that the Shionel Adventurer Guild permitted the temporary occupying of it. Thus several patrons and merchants had set up outlets selling essential items like healing and rejuvenation potions.

Rui could already see that the Shionel Merchant Guild was clearly trying to push in the direction of private ownership and occupation of the Shionel Dungeon even before they started.

He had not forgotten his plan of selling map data of the Shionel Dungeon to the Shionel Merchant Guild, he had already been mapping the Shionel Dungeon in his head, carefully storing all the data that he had gathered with his Riemannian Echo in his Mind Palace.

He intended to put it to good use later on. He had not only been measuring the distance that he traveled relative to his own height which he had a precise measurement of, but he had also been documenting the 'footage' of his Riemannian Echo sense into the Mind Palace, going as far as to timestamp it.
