Riley wiped stone dust off her axe blades.

NorthWind shook his head. “We don’t have enough fight logged to confirm anything. All I can veel w… he more concentrated our strength as, the harder the dungeon pushes back

ToxicReaper walked over with a serious tone. “We can’t split up right now. The third squad almost got ambushed by lizards earlier. If Pineapple Beer hadn’t circled back to save them fast, we would’ve lost as least two teammates.”

Pineapple Beer leaned against the rock wall, breathing harder than normal

Her build let her move faster and hit harder than most, but it burned through her stamina more quickly too. The Floor 15 monsters had thicker armor and trickier weak points. Her flanking attacks were nowhere near as easy as they’d been on the lower floors.

TartKing stood beside her, her Vitality Silver Bell Wristband dimming after constant nonstop use.

“We still have enough mental recovery potions left,’ she said. “But we can’t keep fighting this way for much longer.

Riley glanced over her team.

Everyone was wearing down fast.

The excitement they’d felt when first stepping onto Floor 15-the hope that the safe zone was just ahead- had completely faded after endless brutal fights. All that was left on everyone’s faces was tension and worry.

But Riley couldn’t let the team see even a shred of doubt.

She handed Bruce a high-grade recovery potion, then told Red Bean to hand out extra defense scrolls to

the shield team.

She turned to TartKing.

“Don’t waste heals on small wounds. Ignore minor injuries for now. Focus all your heals on the frontine and anyone getting focused by monsters.”

TartKing nodded. “Got it.”

Riley then spoke to RedBean. “Keep tracking injuries like usual, but don’t announce every update to the whole team. Only report to me and Hanna.”

RedBean paused briefly before understanding. “Alright.”

Constantly broadcasting every injury and resource loss would only crush everyone’s morale.

Hanna turned around right away and rallied the team.

“Everyone move! Top off your potions, swap out broken shields! Floor 15 is tough, but we’re not done ye Weren’t you all talking about resting easy in the safe zone? If you want that break, fight your way there first!”

LoneSparrow wiped dirt off his face and forced a smile. “Got it. Work hard now, relax later.”

Felix adjusted his best explosives, sliding them to the easiest spot to grab. “I finally get this dungeon. It just hates when we’re having even a little luck.”

LoneWolf rolled his shoulders to loosen up. “Quit talking. Save your energy for fighting.”

The team kept moving forward.

From that point on, every step ahead got way harder.

After a while, they spotted a treasure chest at a tunnel fork.

It was tucked behind a broken black-rock ledge, and the lid was carved with clear map patterns. RedBean’s eyes lit up the second she saw it.

“This should be the basic floor map we need.”

But a wide open stretch sat directly in front of the chest, blocking their entire path.

Two level 31 Rockscale Monitor Lizards were lying in wait there. Further ahead, four Bonewarden Sentinels stood completely still, like stone statues guarding the ledge.

If those were their only enemies, Riley would’ve charged in without hesitation.

But after scouting the surrounding shadows, Pineapple Beer came back with a grim look.

“There’s a big group hiding in the right rock cracks. There are also Crystal Thorn Bugs nested up on the upper left. The second we step into that open area, we’re getting fully surrounded.”

Hanna asked, “Can we take a detour?”

NorthWind checked the terrain and shook his head. “No detour possible. This main path is the only way

forward, and this chest is a mandatory checkpoint. The other fork is much narrower, and if we run into charging monsters there, we’ll be in a worse spot.”

RedBean gripped her notepad tightly. “Without the map, every move we make after this will be risky.”
