Wordlessly, Nightingale and Flaming Rose advanced through the path, with the latter taking the lead, a printed map held firmly in her hands.
It displayed the complete layout of the Third Floor.
The Serpent's Labyrinth was approximately thirty kilometers wide, which, in theory, shouldn't have been too troublesome to cross. With the map as their guide, they could make it through without much issue, so long as they remained careful. However, the place was a sprawling maze of winding corridors, dead ends, and shifting passageways that seemed to rearrange themselves over time.
According to Rose's explanation, the labyrinth wasn't static. Its pathways shifted every few hours, guided by a strange magnetic pulse that emanated from somewhere deep within the Floor. The map could help them for a while, but it wouldn't remain accurate for long.
That was the true danger of the Third Floor.
