Glass and the twins explored the entirety of the floor. Killing every Monster they came across, they spent over three days to explore the floor. The time they spent, brought them a good amount of Valis, which was also the currency used in Aciras.
After exploring the entire floor, they managed to get another three parts of the scroll. Glass held them and placed them together, which let him read a majority of the scroll.
It read, 'Oh God of Ice, your might is unrivaled. You are the King of Gods, the ruler of two worlds. Your heavenly ice freezes even the flames of Hell. With a single word, all will tremble in fear'
"..."
"This is kind of... pretentious I would say..." Glass thought when reading the passage on the scroll.
He continued reading the second passage of the scroll, from what he could see, the second passage was actually a puzzle. When he had figured it all out just by looking at it briefly, he found out that it was a map.
"I got it, it's a map." Glass told the twins.
"A map? We may be able to find something good." Yheia replied.
"Since it's a map, there must be strong foes waiting for us," Omaos replied.
Glass nodded, the three of them then followed the map accordingly.
...
Following the map, they ended up standing in front of a large tree that they had passed by in the past when they had explored the floor.
"This tree is it? I don't see anything that could lead to anything." Yheia said.
"Since the map shows it's here, there must be something special about this tree." Glass replied.
"Does the passage mention anything about the tree?" Omaos asked him.
"No, it doesn't, we'll have to figure it out ourselves." Glass replied.
Glass walked around the tree, looking for anything he may have missed. Seeing that he couldn't find anything, he tried jumping up into the tree and stood at the top.
On top of the tree, Glass stood up slowly as he found a foothold to prevent him from falling off. After finding a stable foothold, he watched the view from the treetop.
Searching every direction around him, all he could see were many trees and a few mountains, he couldn't see past the mountains which were obviously the Dungeon walls.
Up top, he could see various groups of monsters that had just respawned, to the left, he could see an artificial sun that was created by the Dungeon.
After pondering for a moment as he watched the horizon, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind. "I think I got it! If I'm right, it should be..." he thought as he climbed back down the tree as fast as he could.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Slish!
The tree leaves shook as he climbed down, Glass jumped onto the ground, where the twins asked him, "Did you find anything?" they asked.
"I think so." Glass replied as he bent down on the ground and started at the bottom of the tree trunk. Moving along the bottom of the tree trunk, the twins watched Glass who looked ridiculous while searching.
After a few moments, Glass said, "Found it!"
The twins came close to the spot he was looking at, only to see nothing special about it before having puzzled expressions.
"Hold on a sec." Glass told them as he touched a part of the trunk and started rubbing it, as he rubbed it, a mark started appearing on the spot that he rubbed.
Once he finished, a strange symbol could be seen. The symbol resembled a glacier, a black-colored ink of some sort was used to draw the mark.
Glass and Omaos stood back, as Yheia started pouring her magical power into the symbol. After a while, the symbol started glowing, as the tree suddenly sucked the three of them inside it!
Whoosh!
Their bodies disappeared from the Twenty-Ninth Floor, and appeared in an unknown space!
Whoosh!
Plop!
Glass and the twins, who had been sucked into the tree landed on their butt. Standing up, Glass rubbed his butt a few times before looking around.
The space he had been teleported to, resembled an ancient temple. There were stone walls and tall stone pillars, lamps were hanging from the sides of the walls, which were powered by magic.
"So this is the inside of the tree?" Yheia said softly.
The three of them looked around, before heading into the ancient temple that seemed to be endless. Walking deeper through the ancient temple, there was nothing else besides stone walls or lamps on said walls.
Even after walking through for an unknown amount of time, nothing had changed. Suddenly, Glass walked by a certain spot, which had a special barrier in place, that stopped the twins from going through.
Glass turned around and touched it, to find out that he could pass through just fine. "You go on ahead, we'll stay here. It seems this temple, is purposely allowing only you to go through." Yheia told him. Omaos agreed with what his sister said, as the twins waited behind the invisible barrier.
Glass nodded, as he continued ahead on his own. Since he thought that the temple was allowing him to go through, he didn't need to be wary.
Step. Step.
After a while, the walls around him changed into a different color. The previously, grey walls, had become blue in color which resembled the color of ice. The temperature also decreased the further he headed in, though, for some unknown reason, Glass continued through just fine as though nothing had changed.
