Back in the True Dungeon, Wallace stood at the entrance, his brow furrowed in contemplation. The air was thick with tension as the Mana Knights and Butler Mendez gathered around him, their expressions a mix of concern and determination. They had expected to face a horde of monsters upon their return, but the dungeon lay eerily silent.
"This doesn't feel right," Wallace muttered, glancing at his companions. "Where are the monsters we expected?"
Butler Mendez, his usually composed face showing signs of worry, shook his head. "I don't know, my Lord. It's highly unusual. We should be cautious."
The Mana Knights exchanged uneasy glances. Rederic, one of the most experienced among them, stepped forward. "We should consider our options carefully. Entering the dungeon without knowing what awaits us could be dangerous."
