Capítulo 84: Canine Floor

"Not so fast, Quinlan. From this floor onwards I want you to have your mind involved in its entirety, don't let your thoughts wander towards our impending mission of freeing Blossom in a few hours. My level was high enough previously that I was confident in protecting you even if you made mistake after mistake but from now on we will be facing five level 5 opponents in some chambers, and depending on the monster types the battle might require my full attention."

I nod, realizing just how greatly I was underestimating the labyrinth based on our previous successes. The fact that not only the level but also their number increases on each floor leads to incredible spikes in difficulty levels each time we descend further down. This, however, means that more and more loot and XP drops. I can now understand why Ayame said that making a full career out of becoming labyrinth clearers is a commonly accepted and pursued career path combatants can take.
