"Wow, you've truly changed, Aquarina," my mother commented. "You're not as reckless anymore, huh? Indeed, preparing before entering a dungeon is essential. You never know what might be waiting inside."
"We're very strong though, so there's nothing much to fear," I said.
Well, aside from the Evil God of Dungeons trying to pull something on us. Is he working with another third party again, like before? It's clear he has deals with the True Demons. But he definitely cannot appear in person; he only sends enemies. If he tries to manifest, it's merely some kind of Divine Avatar at best.
Honestly, part of me wants him to try. I want him to ambush me and attack, so I can beat him again and perhaps gain something valuable from the fight, like I did last time. Back then I was unprepared, and things spiraled out of control.
But this time it would be different.
…
Still, it's better not to wish for such things, so I kept my mouth shut.
