Synopsis

The chapter focuses on the protagonist's attempts to understand the complex mana disruption within a dungeon. He realizes that the tunnels themselves are the medium of a large-scale spell designed to trap people and that the spell likely originates from the lower floors, not the entrance. The protagonist utilizes a special wand to track the subtle patterns in how mana dissipates to find a path within the maze. He concludes that brute force is useless and that thinking strategically is key to navigating the dungeon.
