The Martial Unity

"I swear…" Kane chuckled. "There has probably been no one in history who has been as creative with clearing dungeons as you have been."

Kane couldn't help but think back to the many remarkably creative and unusual solutions that Rui applied to get things done.

The one that stood out the most, of course, was when Rui used the water of an entire floor to astronomically increase the rate of exploration of the Shionel Dungeon, discovering twelve dungeons in a single day. Who could possibly claim to be able to do such a thing?

"I need to trace a path from this floor all the way to the Root floor," Rui murmured.

In order to lure them away with his heat, he needed to find a pathway that was large enough to accommodate a large number of pythons that were aggressively eager to reach any heat. This wasn't something he could do on the run after already luring them out, he definitely needed to plan things ahead of time.

"Alright, see ya," Kane nodded.

Rui nodded before exploring his surroundings with Riemannian Echo, mapping the entire area with his senses.

"That should do just fine," Rui murmured as he spotted a giant tunnel that seemed to be headed downwards, immediately sky-walking towards it.

After a while, it appeared that his fears of the tunnel being a dead-end weren't true, he soon began experiencing a familiar sense of pressure.

('I'm getting closer,') Rui's eyes narrowed.

He had experienced this pressure many times in the recent past, having visited the Root Floor to get a good understanding of the capabilities of that part of the Shionel Dungeon.

About a few hours later, he had found what he was looking for.
