Against most people, this formation could be deadly. But unfortunately for them, their opponent was Lucas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we progressed through the dungeon, the golems seemed to adapt, their numbers and tactics adjusting to counter our strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeon must have determined that this specific formation was the best way to challenge Lucas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to be fair, it was impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to add even more problem for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas couldn’t go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not with Kagami and Janica nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before, he couldn’t afford to let loose, which meant he had to rely entirely on pure skill to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe the dungeon noticed that too…?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to the other side, I noticed that Janica moved with the most fluidity among the three. Her attacks were clean and precise, slicing through golems with swift, practiced movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had expected her to be the most shaken, especially after what happened earlier. But I guess I overthought things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, she and Lucas seemed closer than ever now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, they weren’t pulling off their usual synchronized combo attacks. It made sense, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the gap in their strength right now, I doubted Janica could fully keep up with Lucas, aside from being a bit more nimble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their stats alone made that clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, after clearing this dungeon, I planned for her to take a Heavenly Divine Pill—something that would help her break past her current limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kagami would probably throw a fit and insist on hoarding all the pills for himself, but that didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole reason I brought Janica here in the first place wasn’t just for power—it was for her to build some self-confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, Janica was the only key heroine who had a deep inferiority complex toward the others—especially the main characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the literal monster-tier geniuses around her, she was just a prodigy by normal standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had talent, sure, but to even be considered in the same league as them, she had to work twice as hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she had seen what Lucas was
