Chapter 438: Dungeon Core
Kaiden zoomed the map view out, measuring in his head like a true min-maxing gamer. He was happy to discover that the 100 meters of space only had to be honored horizontally, not vertically. He could place the cavern right at the foot of the dungeon gate, meaning 0 meters had to be honored downwards, and only 3 meters (9.84 feet) had to be honored upward.
This meant that he had to give enough space for a tall, muscular man to walk without scraping his head. Furthermore, he tried to make the path so narrow that even Luna would struggle to fit through, but he was once again stopped.
The cavern pathways had to be wide enough for at least 2 people in armor and swords in hand to walk next to one another.
It was a bit sad, but Kaiden wasn’t annoyed. He now understood that being a dungeon master wasn’t just about ensuring no one could ever win. You had to play the dungeon game by the rules... Which meant giving the invaders some chances of success.
However, this was still more than perfect compared to what Calypso had before.
He didn’t want invaders strolling in comfortably; he wanted them to feel confined from the first step.
But before letting himself feel good about his decisions, Kaiden decided to test it out. He did not allow himself a false sense of security.
He needed to test the rock.
Kaiden raised his hand. His Blood Monarch’s Gauntlet responded instantly. Blood gathered in his palm, forming into a crimson pickaxe. It was dense, perfect for the job.
He lifted the pickaxe high and brought it down with "[Doomrend]!" The impact echoed like thunder in the silence. The rock didn’t crack. A faint scorch mark spread where the pick struck, but no fragment came loose.
Kaiden’s eyes lit up. "Oh?"
He hit it again. And again.
