Chapter 47: 47- Dungeon War (4)

This time the group of monsters exploring the floor was more aware of the traps and due to the increased visibility from the phosphorescence crystals on the ceiling, they easily dodged all the traps set. The pit traps and acid swamps were easily avoided and passed through with no efforts to the point where the traps just felt like decorations to them.
Mike and Berd explored the area and soon found that there was no presence of any guardian monsters on this floor too. Though they found the matter quite strange, but since the exploration was progressing well, they didn't bother to delve into this matter too much. Looking at the monster army that swiftly explored the areas with ease and suffered no casualties, the both of them nodded towards each other and immediately started increasing the pace of their exploration.
The third floor was twice the size of the second which made fully exploring the area twice as time-consuming as before. Each of the winding areas was similar and kept on messing with your sense of direction. After surveying the surrounding for a while, Mike commented "The floor is quite big and it would be a tedious work if we explored it at our current rate. Since the monster army can easily avoid the traps laid, we should increase our exploration pace."
Berd who was beside him pondered for a while before coming to a conclusion "The limited visibility on the second floor was what increased the effectiveness of the traps. But now that nothing is restricting the visibility on this floor, there shouldn't be any casualties on our side. The monsters have already adapted to the traps and are able to avoid them without any effort. That being the case we should hurry up and increase the pace, if not I'm afraid it'll irritate Sir Gelgar even more."
Mike had a similar thought process as Berd and immediately agreed. Unaware of the dangers that lay ahead, they started laying down orders and increased the exploration rate of the monsters as they spread throughout the floor probing and dodging the traps with ease.
Gelgar who was exploring on his own easily avoided a pitfall and swiftly dodged a swamp of acid. Jumping onto the other side of the area, he snorted and looked back at the acid swamp from which bubbles and smoke rose making it quite deadly for low-rank monsters. However, it was not worth his caution since he was Demon Viscount and even if he fell for these traps, there would hardly be any damage. A body of a Demon Viscount was very strong and their high defence stats made them impervious to such paltry tricks. Even if there was any damage, it would swiftly recover thanks to his innate regeneration.

Nevertheless, even though he would suffer no damage, Gelgar felt that it was beneath him to even fall for such petty traps in the first place and would tarnish his image as a noble Demon Viscount. He swiftly dodged another pit trap and smashed the blade that came slicing at his head from the walls with a punch. BANG... the force behind his punch was so great that it shattered the blade that was aiming for his neck and made countless cracks on the walls. Just like on the other floors the cracks immediately mended themselves and the wall was back to its previous state.
"Do you think such petty tricks will work on me?. Well what can I expect more from the intelligence of a mere lowborn demon" he said as he promptly passed through areas after areas. no matter what traps lay in front of him, none of them was even able to touch the edge of his clothes.
As everyone explored the areas, all of them failed to notice small mushrooms growing at the edges of the wall. The mushrooms were so inconspicuous that they failed to attract any attention, even if someone did notice them, they eventually ignored it as something naturally grown from the abundant manas of the dungeon. That also goes for Gelgar and his two Demon Baron subordinates. who would notice some random mushrooms on the edges of the walls? As such most of their focus was on finding the entrance to the next floor and dodging the traps that were in front of them.
A group of fifteen Scavenger Mummies that were three meters tall each and had bandages wrapped all over them was exploring a certain part of the floor. A large number of mushrooms dotted the walls as far as their hollow eyes could see. Some of them casually plucked the mushrooms and munched on them as they explored further. It began with some of the Scavenger mummies casually picking the mushrooms and munching but after some time most of the Scavenger mummies began frantically eating the mushrooms whenever they saw some growing on the walls.
what happened next was all of the fifteen Scavenger Mummies frantically rushing to eat more of the mushrooms whenever they passed by new areas and some of them even fell on the traps that they could easily dodge before due to their negligence. The ones that fell for the trap died slowly and excruciatingly while the rest ignored them as all of their attention was on finding the mushrooms growing on the walls and frantically start munching on them. A peculiar scene to watch.
This scene was not only playing in this part but also on the other areas of the floor.. The monsters that could easily dodge the traps before were getting killed by those very same traps while rushing to eat more of the mushrooms, a frantic look in their eyes.
