The Fifth Floor of the Maze
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Aside from being punched by Gauss, Theron indeed showed no other physical abnormalities. After careful consideration and discussion, Gauss and the others decided to open the gate to the fifth floor of the maze today.
More precisely, nearly a week had passed since the battle with the Magic Frog Lord had ended.
More and more people were entering the fourth floor of the maze.
By now, the fame of the Red Dragon Group and Gauss had spread throughout the Timbel Maze. Even newcomers who had just arrived knew that they had killed the lord creature on the fourth floor and were about to open the fifth floor for exploration.

Seeing the gazes his teammates directed at him from their energetic faces, Gauss understood what they meant.
He quickly nodded.
As he exerted strength with his right hand, the crystal-clear Opening Stone instantly turned to dust.
"Boom!!"
A strange, vortex-like force of attraction rose from the empty space before Gauss.

Everyone knew that these were the stairs leading to the fifth floor.
Gauss led the way inside.
This was actually Gauss's first time heading to a maze floor that no one had reached
