After a few more minutes of searching, we stumbled upon a path leading downstairs, not too far from the room where we had our unsettling encounter with those corrupted elves. It beckoned us to venture deeper into the dungeon.
"This place is massive. I wonder how it came to be," Akira marveled as we pressed on through the labyrinthine corridors of the second floor.
"Probably formed in the usual mysterious dungeon way, I suppose? Dungeons have this knack for appearing out of nowhere; it's impossible to predict," Sora commented with a casual shrug.
"Indeed," Renatta chimed in. "My grandfather mentioned that this dungeon just sprouted up one day, out of the blue. If he hadn't been exploring, we'd have never known it existed."
As we continued, Renatta abruptly halted and signaled for us to keep quiet and stay low.
"What did you spot, Renatta?" I inquired.
"Take a look to your left," she whispered.
