NorthWind crouched down to check the ground.

“People definitely passed through here. The tracks are fresh.”

“How many?” Riley asked.

“Hard to tell exactly.” NorthWind brushed aside a layer of moss with his dagger..

“At least more than one. I see drag marks and scattered footprints. Looks like someone was either running from a chase or fighting a battle here.”

RedBean’s expression grew tighter.

“Keep going,” Riley ordered.

The stone stairway didn’t descend far. After less than five minutes of walking, the space ahead suddenly opened up.

A long tunnel stretched forward. They would’ve never found this place without NorthWind’s map.

The tunnel’s walls were nothing like the moss-covered corridors outside. Faint silver lines ran across the stone surface.

The patterns looked like woven leaves and fine feathers, carved into the weathered stone. Most edges had worn smooth over time, but they still shimmered with a pale silver glow in the dim light.

Felix lowered his voice.

“Silver leaf relief carvings?”

RedBean glanced at her comm panel.

“This has to be the place.”

A half-open stone door stood at the corridor’s end, framed all around with silver leaf engravings.

Strangely, there were no monster corpses or bloodstains outside. Only a set of footprints stopped right at the doorway, then vanished completely, as if wiped clean.

Bruce swallowed hard.

“Where did the footprints go?”

LoneWolf crouched down for a closer look, unusually serious

“They didn’t disappear. The tracks just don’t carry Inside The floor material is differem in them… whoever stepped dough got teleported away”

Riley refused to rush inside blindly.

She told Hanna to hold the rear and secure their retreat, then had LoneWolf creep up to the door to scout

LoneWolf skipped his usual jokes this time.

He tied a thin string to his dagger’s hilt, then tossed the blade gently into the room.

The dagger landed with a soft thud. No traps triggered.

After waiting a few seconds, he peeked inside.

“Clear. No monsters in sight.”

“I’ll go first,” Riley said.

Hanna frowned. “President…”

Riley cut her off firmly. “My stats are high. I can tank any trap if there’s one.”

She gave no room for argument, gripped her dual axes, and stepped past the stone door.

The ground beneath her feet felt different at once.

No more damp, slippery moss covered bricks. This floor was smooth white stone.

Beyond the door was a small circular hall with a towering ceiling. The surrounding walls were carved with

patterns. the same silver leaf

A small stone tree stood in the center of the room, its stone canopy strung with pale green lanterns. The lights gave off no heat, yet filled the whole hall with soft, gentle illumination.

Most notably, the stale, damp rot of Floor 10 was gone. The air even carried a faint, fresh scent of plants.

As soon as Riley settled her footing, a tiny voice echoed through the hall.

“Another group has arrived.”

The entire team tensed up instantly.

A palm-sized light fluttered out from behind the stone free. It circled the room once before solidity in into a clear shape.

It was a tiny fairy NPC.

She was he tiller than an adult’s forearm, with translucent thin wings, fine pale blonde hair, as a small dress woven from leaves. She hovered mid-air batids planted henly on her hips, her expression sharp and

The system name popped up, and everyone relaxed slightly.

It was an NPC, not a monster.

The fairy flew one full loop around Riley, then glanced at the rest of the Hope Guild members filing in behind her. Her eyes lit up.

“Wow, so many people.”

Felix muttered, “This little thing’s pretty cute.”

LoneWolf immediately put on a kind grin.

“Hello! We’re not here to cause trouble.”

The fairy hovered in place and stared straight at him.

“You’re really dirty though.”
