I Became a 6★ Gacha Character

Sometimes people would soar into the air after stepping on mines, but thanks to their sturdy bodies and Irene's barriers, exploration of the 56th floor continued without injuries.

However, our smooth progress hit a wall right at the gate leading from floor 56 to 57. The problem wasn't with our party members or the 21 Ice Cross Knights—

"Don't tell me they've blocked the gate?"

"Huh, after sending troops below and seeing them fall too easily, are they trying to buy time?"

It was something we never imagined could happen.

The gate should have hummed with magical resonance and transported us upward. But what stood before us now was just a stone doorframe. At least the lantern still recognized it as a gate for mapping purposes.

Without any magical response, it looked like nothing more than a pile of stones. The only unusual thing was that it remained firmly standing even when kicked.

Well, we could probably solve the gate issue by using Han Se-ah as bait and pulling a "Help us, Magic Tower." The real problem was the Ice Cross Knights. Story-wise, these 21 knights had no reason to accompany us to the 60th floor. But the Goddess wanted me to climb with them.

'If they were mercenaries, we could at least make a contract.'
