《Dungeon from the Void》B3 | Chapter 17 - Quick Work on the Floor

Fenrir
I finish the fourth through second tower floors within a few hours and move my attention towards the first floor of the tower.
What should I do for this floor of the tower...
I mentally sigh before glancing at the intruders, only to find them already starting the third floor.
"They sure moved quickly this time," I mutter to myself in surprise.
Dawn, without taking her focus off of the intruders, says, "Yeah, but that is to be expected. Their previous run was their first run after all."
Hmm, that makes sense.
"Tell me whenever they reach the fourth floor," I say before focusing on the first floor of the tower.
I have already decided on what mana-infused monster to use for the floor, but I haven't decided on anything else as of yet.
The floor has to be special, seeing as it is the final floor of the tower, so I will be using a mana-infused beowolf on the floor.
Unsurprisingly, the mana-infused beowolf looks almost exactly like Blade with the only differences being that it is smaller, less intelligent, and at a lower level.
Now what should I do for this floor...
Perhaps an arena?
The last time I did one of those was on the third floor of the dungeon.
A normal, boring arena won't work though, so I need to find something to change it up a bit...
"That could work..." I mutter before beginning my work on the floor.
I place several lava pools throughout the floor of the tower and put a rising and falling platform in the center of the room.
This is where the most important of the monsters will be entering the room from, with the rest of them entering from secret entrances spread throughout the walls of the room.

Aside from the lava, I place a few void bombs throughout the room to keep the intruders on their toes.
I spend the next twenty or so minutes working on the enchants for the floor.
There will be a total of ten waves, and instead of just entering through one entrance like the last arenas I have made, each wave will have several different entrances used at the same time. However, only the fifth, eighth, and tenth waves will use the entrance in the center of the room.
Meanwhile, the mana-infused monster will be in the final wave and will enter through the central platform along with a few other direwolves.
I give the room one last look over before fixing a couple of problems in my enchant scripts.
"And that should do it..." I mutter after finishing everything.
On to the cavern outside of the tower!
For this floor, I spread multiple pools of lava throughout the entire cavern instead of just a few in one corner.
I then start placing the swords around the floor.
"They just reached the fourth floor," Dawn suddenly says out of nowhere, "how close are you to finishing the fifth floor?"
I answer without pausing in my placement of swords, "I might be done before they reach the fifth floor. Assuming they actually do reach the fifth floor that is."
I feel Dawn's attention shift towards me as she says, "They are doing better than last time, and they know to avoid Blade, so I think they will reach the fifth floor this time."
"That's true," I mutter.
Assuming that they actually do avoid Blade.
Knowing what I have seen so far from these Humans and their pride, it's possible that they might want to fight Blade again.

Although, I get the feeling that the Hybrid might avoid Blade.
I am not really sure why I think that though.
Anyways, I soon finish placing all of the swords and begin enchanting ten of them to act as seals.
First, I write in a script on the boss room's door to open when a signal is no longer being received by any of the ten seals. After that, I set up the seals themselves by having them send a signal when they are touching the matching enchantments in the ground.
It takes me another fifteen or so minutes to finish this before I start spawning monsters throughout the cavern floor.
There will be individual monsters as well as groups of monsters roaming around the floor at random with no distinct pattern.
As I am doing this, I take a moment to glance at the Hybrid's party to check on their progress.
The first thing I see is Leon rushing in twirling his dual swords while fighting against the mana-infused hobgoblin within the fortress.
They are already at the fortress?
That was pretty fast.
It looks like they will be reaching the fifth floor after all.
I should hurry up and finish it before they get here.
I hasten my placing of monsters and finish it after another ten to fifteen minutes, using a void fen and void direwolf as the other two mana-infused monsters for the floor.
Now all that is left is to build the boss room!
But... what should I do for the boss room?
I glance at the intruders and find them slowly skirting around Blade's domain in an attempt to reach the totem without running into him.
Interesting, so they actually are avoiding Blade. Just as I had thought they would.
I turn to Dawn and ask, "Do you have any ideas for the boss room?"
Dawn answers me without taking her focus from the intruders, "Since you are using a bipedal monster for the boss, you could try to make the boss room use a smaller area for fighting."
A smaller area for fighting...
That does sound pretty interesting.
I search through my dungeon for ideas before focusing on the second room of the labyrinth.
Bridges...
That could actually work!
"Thanks Dawn!" I shout at her before rushing to start on the boss room.
This is going to be fun!

8 169World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.

File under: sky pirates, guild level-ups, and true companions (nakama) The problem isn't her, it's her folks. Seren is tired of living a lonely life on the island, but every time she brings up the lack of community to her parents, they tell her that it's better that way. Better not to have anyone else around. Better to have dad-vetted "friends" in touch only by mail. Better to not go near the transportation area and to report anything "strange." And she tries. She really does. When it becomes crystal clear that nothing will change, the lure of far off horizons is louder than ever. The last straw is when an attempt to abide by the rules fails and even small pleasures are taken from her. Opportunity knocks and she throws open the door, determined to prove that she can take care of herself. Too bad the world is just as determined to prove otherwise. (Story is aiming for PG-13 levels of content. Tagged with Profanity & Gore just to be safe.) (weekly update at Friday midnight PST / Saturday 4pm JST)
