The Martial Unity

Rui had to admit that the job was more difficult than he had given it credit. It wasn't nearly as easy as he had expected. Although the floor wasn't as diametrically as opposed to them as other floors were, the distribution of esoteric ore deposits was far and wide.

They needed to tread far and wide in order to gain their fill of esoteric ore deposits. It took them an entire day before they were able to fill up their entire storage capacity.

"Damn," Kane murmured. "We only finished like a quarter of the entire floor!"

"Yeah," Rui sighed. "It's crazy, honestly."

The floor was quite gigantic, it would probably take them a few more days before they were ready to completely drain the entire floor of its esoteric ore deposits.

"What do you think will happen to the floor by the time we've extracted all of its resources?" Kane wondered.

"Most of the creatures will die out…" Rui shrugged. "But, I think that we might end up seeing an increasing number of monsters leave the dungeon in search of more esoteric ore deposits, especially organic ones."

"That never really happened with most of the other monsters though," Kane scratched his head.

"That is true," Rui nodded. "But that was because the monsters could still consume the Martial Squires that attempted to clear the floor. In this case, they don't even have that. I'm definitely seeing at least some of the monsters on this floor leaving the dungeon in search of sustenance."
