And the questions keep piling up
After Eliza pointed out the digression of their earlier discussion, the trio decided to continue their dungeon diving while Evan and Pride still talked about the status effect situation.
Not long after, they encountered one of the monsters normally found on the 11th -20th floors of the Mansion of the Damned, a rift mage.
The creature was a short-masked humanoid about a metre tall. It was dressed in light blue and white coloured mage robes, showing its ice element type, and held a short staff or wand that was the same height as it was.
Upon noticing them, the monster squealed before waving its staff and tossing a dozen icicles at the group.
In the short moments that it took for them to avoid the incoming attack, it summoned a pack of wolf monsters and sent them after the trio.
