Shingi and his party kept moving from floor to floor and dealing with the bosses. Fortunately, they didn't meet Mikhail's men or see signs of that corruption.
They currently were on Floor 32, meaning the next one would be another Ruin City Floor. Shingi had a similar hideout on the 22nd floor, and he planned on spending some time there training and making some adjustments to everyone's pieces of equipment.
He had gathered some precious materials. Most of them came from dealing with the bosses, like the Lava Dragon's core or Kelvin's Dark Crystal. He had one for each Basic Element, excluding Spirit.
Air Element was on a mountain floor, where the primary foes to deal with were Harpies. Those creatures were humanoid, and only female, and had vulture-like wings on their back. In addition, their legs and arms were humanoid, except for the fingers being more like bird toenails and claws.
