From the 41st floor onwards, a world of transparent spring water spread out.
Simply put, all the floors are lakes.
Only huge sacred lotus leaves could be used as footing. There was nothing else that could serve as a foothold. If I didn’t move, there was no flow of air either. Not even one ripple could be seen on the water’s surface.
The stairs ended on the sacred lotus leaf that seemed to be the biggest one around. I’d say it was around fifty meter in diameter? It had a stability to the extent that it wouldn’t sink even if there were dozens of people standing on it.
In front of the first sacred lotus leaf, a straight path was made by a series of leaves of different sizes, with diameters going from several meters up to several dozens of meters.
At a point where the sacred lotus leaves split into left and right, I examined the possibility of flying straight forward, but it wasn’t an option. I understood that I couldn’t fly here.
Because the forks gradually multiplied as I went forward, it became more complex.
Even if the pathways had no walls, they looked similar to corridors. In other words, it’s a labyrinth made out of sacred lotus leaves.
Because there were hardly any obstructions, the view was favorable. I was able to predict a rough route because I could see the previous area. On top of the sacred lotus leaves, I could confirm the wonderful ornaments of treasure chests and strong dungeon monsters that are clearly waiting for perform an ambush.
Though it would be difficult to gather everything because of the complexity.
From afar, I was unable to thoroughly see the extensive complexity. There are a lot of things that looked reachable, but that I was unable to reach, which was very irritating. Though if given more time, I would have been able to get there one way or another but I gave up because I didn’t feel like it.
The one thing above all that made this floor difficult is that if you temporarily fell off of the sacred lotus leaves, you would be instantly returned to the first sacred lotus leaf at the stairs.
Like the floor before where the ceiling and the floor looped, I was able to deduce that this floor returns you to the beginning the moment you fall into the water.
There were fish-type dungeon monsters here that will push you into the water without mercy. There were also sacred lotus leaves that sink temporarily once you stand in front of the treasure chest that were placed on top of them. I was sent back to the beginning several times.
To be honest, stress was piling up. Nevertheless, I advanced while continuing to be careful.
While collecting treasure chests and corpses of the strong dungeon monsters that I took on, I arrived at the deepest part of the 45th floor at night.
At the deepest part, there was a sacred lotus leaf as big as the one at the stairs in the beginning.
However, the road on the sacred lotus leaves didn’t continue as before, and the way I came from temporarily disappeared. The sacred lotus leaves that were there a while ago, seemed to have sunk the moment I arrived.
Only a slight ripple showed any remaining trace of it, and even that was gradually disappearing.
The floor boss of the 45th floor that fights on the sacred lotus leaf, appeared at the same time the leaves sank. Two beautiful women were the only thing left standing on the very large surface of the lake.
The name of the floor boss was “Red Armed Geminyuvia”.
