At Floor 28...
A place fill with white flowers, chilling wind blow from the caves surrounded by the place, no monsters appeared in this floor so make it become so silent.
Hector: How much casualties?
Medic member: 0 dead, 32 heavy injured, 12 light injured.
Hector feel relieved after he heard 0 dead.
Hector: How bad for those heavy injured?
Medic member: 23 of them lost limbs, the rest fainted, even though we could stop the bleed but they couldn't wake up.
Hector: !
*Silent moment*
Hector: Understood. Please take care of them, we preparing to return them back to surface.
Medic member *bowed*
*After hearing Hector explain the situation*
Victoria: This is bad.
Maxim: They definitely need to return immediately.
Victoria: ...
Victoria has an expression of not reconciled.
Victoria: We shall call off this miss--
Hector: Negative!
Victoria: What?
Hector: This mission need to be continue.
Maxim: Hector including the ones with light injured, we already lost nearly half of our man power. We need reinforcement.
Hector: Yes, we need. So we will still send the injured ones back to surface and call reinforcement. But in the meantime, mission continues.
Victoria: Hector, this is unlike you. This is an irrational decision, why?
Hector: No, it is rational. For our Familia, for Orario.
Hector: If we stop right now, without any death, Guild and people in Orario will compare us to the pyramid-lovers. They will say 'Osiris Horus Set has suffered great casualties to fail the mission, and yet Zeus and Hera give up the mission with no casualties."
Maxim: "Never put Honor and life in the balance scale" I remember these words are from you.
Victoria: Compare to life, you don't care about honor, and yet now you change?
Hector: If we give up now? How many people will get killed when in the meantime?
Maxim and Victoria: ...
Hector: More death will appear, more despair will bring to the people.
Hector: People of Orario will think even the great Zeus and Hera couldn't do it, how could the others will? We can't explore the dungeon anymore, we can't took back the land, the sea, the sky from dragons anymore.
Maxim and Victoria: !!!
Hector: Humanity has lost.
*A silent moment*
Victoria *inhale*: Let's gather others now.
Hector: Warriors assemble!
All the members of the expedition team gathered in line.
Hector: Some of you will return to surface now! After that, straight call captains for reinforcement!
Zeus and Hera members: *talking*
Zeus member: The mission still continue?
Hera member: Did they plan to go further with less people?
Victoria: The injured ones will gonna return, we will select their protection squad now!
Maxim: ...! ...! ...! *Maxim call out for the names that gonna return*
Maxim: Alexander! Sinclair!
Alexander: What!
Sinclair: Why!
Alexander: I'm not injured!
Sinclair: I still can fight!
Maxim: Do as you told! Both of you!
Victoria: Hector...
Hector: Before they leave, we will explain to them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sinclair: Madam I don't accept your decision!
Alexander: We're not injured! We still can be useful!
Hector: Alexander you are useful, that's why both of you are assigned to the protection squad.
Alexander: But--
Hector: Do you think those people doesn't need protection?
Alexander: That's not what I meant...
Hector: *Sigh* I know your frustration. You may think it is because I underestimate you. But I assure you that, I never underestimate you nor anyone.
Sinclair: Victoria!
Victoria *Raise her hand*: Enough.
Victoria *Pat on Sinclair head*: I need you to seek reinforcement from Captain, or else we all gonna die.
Sinclair *tears*: *Sobing*
Victoria *Smile*: Do it for me ok?
Sinclair *Nodded head*
Not far from here two person lean on the wall...
Ihwa: Disturbing.
Zald: Hmm?
Ihwa: I don't like this mission.
Zald: Mission is mission, is not about you like it or not.
Ihwa: I just don't like to be separate from Sinclair. It just feel so...
Zald: Unsafety right?
Ihwa: You understand?
Zald: I first experience it while I go hunting alone without my father.
Ihwa: Doesn't that make me a child.
Zald: I don't think being afraid of lonely is childish. An old dude still will be terrified if their children left them alone.
Ihwa: What do you think? Being separate from Alex and Sinclair.
Zald: I do miss the time we could adventure together, but I will still follow orders.
Ihwa: Typical you.
Zald: Well let's kick those monster's ass as soon as possible.
Ihwa: Yes!
Hector: Alright! Now depart immediately!
Returning Squad: Yes Sir!

Somewhere in Floor 30...
A merman kneeling on the floor seems like it is begging for something, a being in front of it is a giant covered with fur riding a dinosaur-like monster.
*PRAM* It smash the merman head like tomato with it's wooden stick.
*WOO WOO WOO WOO WOO WOO* A crowd of being similar to it started to moan.
