Synopsis

The chapter follows the team as they move from the first to the third floor of the labyrinth, encountering Ayantros monsters, dealing with an attempt by plunderers to lure monsters onto them, and battling various beast-type monsters. Dwalki reflects on the harsh reality of exploration, struggling with the idea of potentially killing other explorers for profit. The team prepares to face the challenges of the third floor, the Pilgrim's Passage, with a mixture of anxiety and excitement, while Bjorn's bad luck is a recurring joke, particularly about the frequency of encountering plunderers.
