Chapter 81: A relic of the old
KiRA didn’t know why there were exactly three certain elements on each floor that stood out from the entire theme of the floor or were simply not supposed to be there.
He knew there were a lot of things that were different in this tower, but since he had not found anything out of place on the first floor aside from the things that he knew about, he didn’t yet rule out the possibility of there being more different pieces.
The first floor’s traveling system, the mausoleum of a higher floor being that housed beings that weren’t supposed to be down here, and the demoness that was trapped here out of her will.
The presence of a different demon did not change the nature of the floor, instead, it simply made it more complex while keeping the theme of the hidden piece consistent.
KiRA found the Leaf Fay so easily thanks to their encounter with Lia and her party. The fact that they had not encountered the ’butterfly’ anywhere around this floor was proof that it might not be here.
But he could not conclude its existence before actually searching the entire floor a few times, and he did not have time for something like that just yet.
’Perhaps once the 3rd floor opens up...’
Having the Minimap ability or the map of the 2nd floor like the one had obtained for the 1st floor might have been a little helpful, but even with an item as special as that, he wouldn’t be able to capture a creature that only went to someone if it wanted to.
There had not been many times when it chose him, so he was not thinking about it anymore. Instead, he was here, in this cave, surrounded by the fragile mushroom people who walked around and interacted with each other.
The way they moved might give an illusion of a tiny colony that interacted with each other like the ants or bees, but they weren’t actually interacting.
Information was being shared among them when an interaction happened, nutrition and the dust particles were transferred from one place to another as it all ended up in a ’dump’ where they gathered everything.
