The musty smell of the mines is still present, but this time, it is much less intense than the smell that Elaina is smelling right now.
"Smells awful, There must be a nest of monsters on this floor."
As she fully descended and landed on the ground, the previous path that she emerged from was closed in by a bunch of black hair-like things and solidified, sealing her only exit. She has seen this phenomenon before and it happens when the floor is overrun by monsters.
"Another floor that got overrun," Elaina prepares her weapon as she explores her eyes to the surroundings.
She has made a lot of haul from the mines just by retracing her steps as she started from the beginning. Despite only meeting slimes so far, she has continued to dominate each floor with her sword without much difficulty. But on this floor, it seems a new variety of monsters is living in the area.
