After the brief interlude, Dark and the Magic Spirits continued onward.
About ten minutes later, they came to a stop in a sealed-off passage.
Vines covered the end of the passage, concealing a Vine Monster within them. Monster remains were scattered across the floor.
Dark asked in a low voice, "Is it here?"
"Puyo!" Greed Slime I gave a light bounce in his palm, then devolved into Greed Slime as its time ran out.
Dark narrowed his eyes and examined the area carefully.
Like the first floor, the second floor of the Dungeon was structured as a maze.

Glowing moss covered the corners between the walls, completely illuminating the otherwise dim Dungeon.
Since this was the end of a passage, everything was visible at a glance.
"There's nothing... Could there be a hidden door?"

A possibility suddenly occurred to Dark.
Mechanisms, traps, and secret doors were all characteristic features of maze-type Dungeons.
If he could find a concealed door in the wall, there was a strong chance it would lead into a hidden room.
A hidden room was, in other words, a secret chamber.
During last semester's Dungeon expedition, Emma had found a hidden room after solving a puzzle, triggering the hidden space where the abyss was located.
Dark's Holy Sword had been obtained from there.

Meanwhile, the vines at the end of the passage and the Vine Monster hidden within them
