    Dior answered the curiosity that apparently Junon and Asher were both holding on to, and his answer made the girl's brows draw together underneath her hat. "Sou..." she said thinking about it. She was just clever enough to realize the implication that the treasure was the reason for the actual phenomenon but she'd never heard anything about it. Perhaps there was something specific to the ability to collect the treasure or something like that, but at the very least they had a goal to follow. Go through the dungeon, find your way to the treasure room, touch stuff until you find something you can take, which also disrupts the entirety of the Dungeon. "Arigatou gozaimasu," she said in response to having received an answer, something she apparently remembered after the fact. Still she was content to take in the sights as they flew towards their destination. She could only hope, this wouldn't be a completely boring trip. Her left leg bounced atop her right, as she waited for their arrival.

    "Hai," Dior replied. For the duration of the trip, the veteran Magic Knight remained standing atop the eagle's back, with his eyes on the horizon. A few words were exchanged here and there as the group traveled, mostly from Dior explaining the nature of dungeons. He took care to inform these two of his own dungeon experiences, including types of magic traps, the great density of mana within, and the varying levels of danger regarding the creatures. He managed to conclude these tales before they ultimately descended to a location where this dungeon unmistakably was. The mana in the area was among the thickest he'd ever felt in his life, so it was no difficult task to find the entrance. Overall, this dungeon's exterior looked like a destroyed old castle made with the largest of stones. Walls and towers were crumbled and caved in on each other, to the point of looking as if one would only be able to witness a portion of the entry hall within. Dior guided his eagle down to the open gate, where shadows blocked all visuals of the dungeon within. "Here we are," he said as he hopped off the eagle, giving ample time thereafter for Junon and Acher to dismount it before it disappeared. Asher did so with haste, keeping his position slightly to the rear of Dior. This place was just what he expected from the stories told, but he somehow felt like this wasn't his first experience being at this sort of location.

    "Sugoi!~" Junon hopped off the bird as they landed. She'd never seen anything like this and it wasn't just the look of the place which made her excited. "I've never felt so much mana before, this place gives me tingles!~" she squealed, her ability to sense the mana around her, let her know exactly how much was in this place. It was stunning to her really, but she hadn't ventured off or anything. No, she'd gotten to know a bit of Dior in their time traveling and figured he wouldn't just allow her to wander off so she contained herself. Instead she pointed to shadowy part of the open gate and felt no fear from it. In fact she seemed a bit giddy at the prospect. "Can we go that way?" she asked. Though it was beyond her how they were meant to approach the task of finding the treasure room, she was all for the experience of trying, as much as it would add to her wealth of knowledge and reasoning behind becoming a Magic Knight.

    While Junon was pointing at the dungeon's entrance, Asher was walking forward with seemingly no purpose. His pace was too slow to dictate an obvious attempt at entry, but too quick to be movement for the sake of moving alone. Dior watched the boy, but looked toward the entrance itself when Junon spoke. "We can. We should be careful, though. This entrance looks pretty standard, but... I've never seen one this dark before. It might not brighten up very much for a while after we enter. Asher, you should let me take the lead," he concluded, knowing well the earful he would get later if he allowed the younger male to wander in first and have negative repercussions from doing so.

    Asher heard Dior's warning, but this didn't stop his forward movement. In fact, he casually raised his left hand, forming in front of it a sphere of light to illuminate the entryway. Dior was stunned, bearing a pride he could not readily express. "You use light magic?! Well, I suppose we're clear then. Lead the way; I'll follow close behind," he said, prompting Asher to enter the longer-than-expected hall of the dungeon, with Dior indeed falling in line behind him. There didn't seem to be much to this dungeon initially, but the walls themselves were laced with mana. Little did one such as Dior know right away, that they had already stumbled upon the dungeon's first trap. If the group did not find the secret and proper entrance to the dungeon, they would be doomed to walk down an endless corridor that always seemed to go straight forward, whether they turned around or not. If they separated, they would likely not meet again in this hall... unless perhaps they saw one another as one of the many skeletons - the bodies of those who became lost forever - littering the endless corridor.

    Soon enough, Asher was approaching the entrance to the dungeon, and though Dior had said that he should take the lead, Asher's ability to use light magic, would make him a forerunner, with Dior traveling close behind. Junon was also walking along slightly behind Dior bringing up the rear but she felt ill at ease even with the light provided by Asher. "Ano... this place," she started to say as she caught sight of a skeleton as they walked. And the further in they went, the more of them she saw. These were strange as they appeared to be out of time, some of them even looking backwards from the direction they'd come. Given they'd died in this manner, Junon was innately suspicious of looking back. Instead she allowed her finger to trace along the wall. "It feels stagnant," she said. Perhaps it wasn't wasn't the right word though. From Junon's perspective and given her own affinity for the wind, this corridor felt stale, like there was everything here, but also nothing. Like a cool breeze hadn't entered this place in eons even though they'd so recently entered the front gate. The density of the mana would have confused the senses, but for the pink haired girl who felt the wind in every corner of her being, she began looking for it. "Silva-senpai, Asher-kun, you should stop twenty paces ahead," she mentioned, if they did so, she would end up slightly in front of the group and turn to the right staring at the wall there for several seconds.

    "There is wind coming from between these cracks. The rest before were too dense but here... is perfect~" the girl chimed. "I'm just going to..." the wind surrounded the girl's palm and created something like a bullet, but instead of forcing it outward and blasting through the wall, she pulled backward shifting several loose bricks at once allowing an opening that looked strangely like an archway to become visible into a lit and airy part of the temple. She took no immediate steps forward as the sight itself was something beyond belief. It was as if it existed as several breezy staircases, but not at all in conventional directions. Some went up or down, side ways along walls. Water ran up, down, left right and in and out of apparently empty tunnels and poured down waterfalls to end up on the ceiling. Tiles and stone were molded and crafted in ways she'd never seen before. Her eyes widened just a bit as she came to a full realization. That unlike the place they'd just been in... this place was brimming with moving magic, it was like their previous place was on a loop and this magic was free flowing.

    Junon was right. Something about this place felt odd, and Asher was just beginning to realize it as well. Neither Asher nor Dior could immediately determine what the issue was, but luckily, Junon could. The pink-haired witch even told the others a stopping point, which after being taken, gave her the freedom to interact with a spot on the wall that didn't match the rest of the corridor. Asher's attention was briefly taken by the nearby corpses, while Dior's remained where Junon looked. Asher knew she was right when viewing the spot himself. There was a strangeness to the mana in this location, and as he drew closer to it, strangely... his hair began to react. This was nothing noticed by Asher himself, but the strange rainbow coloration to the ends of his hair became more vivid, and even more so yet when Junon used her wind magic to dislodge the bricks hiding the true, marvelous dungeon on the other side. "Nice work. Now the real journey begins," Dior said whilst stepping out of the forever hall. They no longer needed Asher's light, so it was dispelled shortly after the group began viewing this place.

    Once Asher passed the threshold between entrance and proper dungeon, his hair tips reached a level of vibrancy that looked almost artificially colored. More importantly, it didn't seem like this dungeon would be holding any punches. Creatures were most certainly inside, and had been pressed against the walls when they felt the presence of people in the corridor. They had been waiting for a very long time, hoping any of the travelers would be in reach. They were goblins, quite smaller than the average human, but very numerous. As Junon was the one who disturbed the wall, she became the horde's first target. Dozens upon dozens of goblins approached from either side, all coming from against the wall itself. Their collective intentions were to pounce, claw at, and otherwise ravage their target, but even though Dior and Asher were in close proximity as well, they seemed somewhat disinterested in the males of this group - outside of whatever threat they might present.

    Strangely enough upon entering this space, Junon's attention was drawn towards the light coming off Asher's hair. "Sugoi! It's like a really vibrant rainbow..." she was curious about it, but figured that questioning this wasn't really going to help in this situation. Still, it seemed the lad's hair was reactive to the high amounts of mana within the Dungeon. But this was actually a Dungeon and beyond the traps and pitfall, the sound of scuffling creatures could be heard. Soon after they'd stepped within the actual danger of this area made itself known. Rather they poured in around the group seeming to focus their attention solely on Junon. To escape the ravaging claws and attacks of these small humanoid creatures she hovered above them disgusted by their attention as they seemed to want something from her which wasn't just her death. "Gross..." she said as her grimoire opened and she raised her right hand. Doing so created a large bow of wind. It was obvious to her these creatures weren't to be reasoned with, as such she'd dispatch as many of them as she could. She'd grown up in the Witch's Forest surrounded by women, but knew from tales of travel by others that when male creatures attacked women, they aimed to harm them in ways they might not recover from.

    "Kaze Mahō : Shippū no Shirayumi," the large bow had upon it six arrows made of swirling wind which would immediately aim to descend upon several targets, after they hit, some would even split hitting even more of them in their wake. Split heads and pierced armor would be left in the wake of Junon's attack, and all would come from a glowing golden Grimoire with a four leaf clover upon the front. Strangely, enough this magic could be easily added to or combined with others to make it even more powerful and seemed to be a go to attack for the lass. It also made no hints of being remotely dangerous for either Asher nor Dior, the arrows as fired only targeted the goblins.

    "Huh?" questioned Asher. Whatever Junon was talking about, she was looking at him in the moment. He wasn't at all sure what she meant, but there were more pressing matters at hand. More goblins than one could count were converging upon the group, focusing their attentions on Junon for reasons that likely weren't too good. Dior scoffed when he noticed what sort of creatures this dungeon possessed. "Disgusting. There have been a lot more of these in dungeons lately," he commented. As Junon flew overhead, Dior took hold of his grimoire. He could easily clear out these goblins himself, but Junon herself unveiled a grimoire he never thought he'd see, and used its spell to put a sizable dent in the goblins closest to them. Still, there were many, so Dior thought to open his grimoire as well... but, there were two glowing golden grimoires with four-leaf clovers open at this time.

    "Hikari Mahō: Danzai no Kōken!" Asher called out. Many shards of light appeared around where Asher and Dior stood, keeping the goblins away from the area around them and below Junon. These shards pointed outward the moment Junon's targets fell, firing off in all directions to impale and mow down members of the horde from the inside out. Dior was awestruck. He didn't even get over the surprise of the first four-leaf clover and powerful spell before another set of the same occurred. Asher's light shards pierced the torsos of many goblins to create a ring at the group's center, with that very ring thickening as each shard speared multiples in a row to create a series of goblin shish kebabs. These were not kill shots, but from what he had just seen of Junon's abilities, he felt she had something ready to finish the job more efficiently while he focused on controlling the crowd in this manner. "Junon-chan!"

    If Dior had aimed to assist this pair in anyway, he was apparently finding himself to be a bit unnecessary aside from moral support. Soon enough, Asher was adding his own ability to control the crowd to the raw attack power that Junon apparently possessed. Though, she'd managed to clear the area immediately surrounding them all on her own, Asher had managed to lock up all the goblins in the area. A grin passed the girl's face as the page of her book turned to a more obviously destructive spell than her previously used one. "Kaze Mahō : Kamaitachi no Mikaduki," upon uttering this spell a crescent like blade of wind extended from the girl's hand. In proportion to the immense magic power behind it, the blade itself was massive and with a simple twist of her body in the air would rather easily cut through the mass of goblin bodies, slashing them into pieces and ending their lives in a swift and massive strike. If all had gone according to plan, Junon would be landing next to Asher with a small smile on her face. "Arigatou Gozaimasu, you have some really amazing magic... Asher-kun," she managed. Of course she was still generally abashed and completely unnerved by the idea of Goblins, but according to Dior these were becoming more common in Dungeons and thus she would be vigilant. But that didn't stop her from crossing her arms over her chest and feeling immeasurably uncomfortable in this moment. She also generally appreciated the synergy presented by working alongside Asher in this moment, and saw that if they worked cooperatively she could easily meet her goals.
