Arcturus nodded, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "We need to be careful. There might be more monsters nearby."
Cain, Amelia and other nodded in agreement.
They knew that the first floor was full of dangers for them, and they needed to be prepared.
As they caught their breath, Arcturus noticed that the wolves' bodies began to dissolve into thin air. "Look," he said, pointing to the wolves' bodies.
The others followed his gaze, their eyes widening in surprise. The wolves' bodies were indeed dissolving, leaving behind nothing but a faint scent of blood and sweat.

After a while, they came across a small clearing. In the center of the clearing was a large stone pedestal, and on top of the pedestal was a small, glowing crystal.
"What is that?" Aurelia asked, her eyes fixed on the crystal.
Arcturus shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it might be important."
The group approached the pedestal cautiously, their senses on high alert. As they drew closer, they could feel a strange energy emanating from the crystal.
Suddenly, the other wolves appeared, their eyes glowing in the dark. The group tensed, ready to face whatever was coming their way.
