After the death of the Hivemind's Avatar, Veronica and Ervas' group quickly continued their exploration of the underground dungeon.
After having reached the last floor of the first stratum, they took a night break and quickly resumed their exploration into the next stratum.
What greeted their sight the moment they stepped forward was yet another forest, but this time the forest by itself was even larger, denser, and darker.
The light from the outside barely reached here, and there was a large amount of powerful energies flowing everywhere within this place. However, these energies seemed now corrupted, as if there was a lingering miasma within the air.
