Dorian had entered the Apex Dungeon just before dawn.
He was completely unaware of the chaos that had erupted at Golddust Manor earlier.
His focus was singular.
Finding the Golddust Seal.
They had already slain the Boss monsters along the path, clearing the way. Still, the seal remained elusive.
Using a magical tool lent to him by Magnus, Dorian scoured every inch of the dungeon... but it detected nothing.
Just as they were preparing to leave, he spotted a group approaching from the opposite corridor.
Familiar faces.
A smirk curled on his lips.
"Well, well… Edric. What are you doing dragging a cripple into the dungeon?"
He said it with deliberate mockery as his eyes settled on Maxim.
He was unaware that Maxim had regained his strength.
Maxim only smirked back in silence.
He was not hiding it but he had no intention of revealing it too.
Edric was holding back a laugh. He decided to play along.
He furrowed his brow.
"Watch your words, Dorian. This is still a dungeon."
