It wouldn't take long before she found the key to the hidden floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that she needed to—I already knew where it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a sense, yes.\" I confirmed, glancing at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike normal double dungeons, which had two completely different interconnected domains, this one was unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dungeon only had one battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having ten floors, the enemies remained largely the same—at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second floor?

That's when things got serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they reached that point, the golems would start wielding weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Kagami, Lucas, and Janica, that wouldn't normally be a problem.
