And so the group made it to the tenth floor. Thanks to her subordinates defeating monsters within her dungeon field, NSLICE-00P’s dungeon level had increased twice over the trip, and was now sitting at 95. Her personal level hadn’t leveled yet but was on the verge of doing so now that she was terminating foes directly.

NSLICE-00P entered into a large open area. Unlike the previous floors, the ground and walls were not made of metal but of dirt and stone. The room was littered with boulders, each of which had exposed veins of metal across their exterior that would be easy to mine. NSLICE-00P scanned the room, finding mostly iron.

And a large mana signature.

The ground shook as heavy footsteps approached. A giant humanoid stepped into view. It was a towering construct of iron and steel, standing at twelve feet tall. It was in the shape of plate armor, but solid metal the entire way through. It carried a massive halberd and a thick tower shield.
