"Oh man, I am max level already! Can\'t I evolve straight away, Sylphy?" Complained Ignatius, floating around me on his Kid Dragon form. I wanted to smack him on the head for being so annoying. "We can evolve inside the Soul Scape, right?"

"No you can\'t! The Soul Scape would grow unstable if you do that, scatterbrained lizard." Beelzebub reprimanded him. "Be patient! I, for once, will patiently wait my eventual evolution."

"It is as he says. Beelzebub seems to have an amazing insight in the true properties of a Soul Scape." Alice explained. "Evolutions inside the soul scape will bring a disaster as each time you evolve, you let out a lot of magical power. Sylphy\'s soul could even explode… Well, maybe."

"Hm, I do wonder if this could change when Sylphy\'s soul becomes stronger though…" Furoh wondered. He was on his Fenrir form, as we rode him with Aquarina behind me.

"Certainly, she\'s still growing as we talk. Her developing speed is amazing, but she has a lot more room to grow." Said Alice. "Eventually, she could become the strongest in the entire world!"

"I-I think you\'re exaggerating a bit now." I sighed.

"Fooo! Fooo, fooo!" Naturia seemed to agree to that, happily flying around.

"Hmph, as long as Sylphy can absorb more curses and the like, I am fine." Curse said, keeping himself a bit away from everyone else.

"Well aren\'t you mister gloomy?" Sighed Ignatius. "How about you go-"

"Hm?! I can sense something…" Beelzebub said.

While we were walking downstairs, Beelzebub suddenly began flying towards the walls to the left, finding something strange, a strange painting in the shape of a mermaid stretching her arms upwards, embracing a monolith shaped… thing? Huh? It has a hole shaped like that.

Wait…

I quickly remembered something, the relic we acquired at Floor 1\'s hidden room. A quick glance at its description gave me the answer I was looking for.

[Monolith of the Sea Nymphs (??? Grade)]

A Special Monolith made by the Gods long ago, in the Age of the Gods. It contains an unseen Divine Power, and it is the Key to the Ruins of the Nymphs, opening the Path towards its Depths.

It was made using a mixture of Orichalcum and the Soul Fragments of Nymphs. As one of the Divine Monoliths, it can activate the true power of Divine Artifacts, imbuing into them the Element of Water.

Don\'t tell me this is actually a key to these ruin\'s hidden rooms?

"Guys, wait a bit…" I called everyone, as we stood in front of the strange painting.

"That\'s a mermaid painting?" Zack wondered.

"Is there something there?" Mist curiously wondered.

"Yeah, there\'s surely something here!" Beelzebub called me.

"One of my Spirits found there\'s something here… Probably a secret room." I explained to my friends.

"A Secret Room?! Are you serious?" Zack asked in surprise, touching the painting, but nothing happened. "Maybe we need to blow it up?"

"I can help if that\'s the case!" Mist said.

"I don\'t think that\'s the idea here…" Celeste sighed. "Though that hole\'s shaped into something… reminds me of an item we got earlier, no?"

"The Divine Power of my creators… I can sense it within this wall. Something is lying within the other way, a new path leading to a different room." Said Nephilim.

"I can feel something myself as well… Like my Divine Protection is reacting to this, similarly to what happened with the secret room from before." Aquarina said. "We need to use something else… that thing we got earlier, maybe. Sylphy do you still have it- Oh."

"Yep, its in my hands right here." I smiled, showing the relic. "I\'ve been inspecting it for a while now, and look what we\'ve got. It fits right in!"

I quickly put the relic inside the hole. It fit perfectly, in mere seconds, a cracking sound was heard, as some sort of inner mechanism beneath the walls started its operations once more. Several runes and circuits started spreading around the walls, expanding all the way around the painting and up into the ceiling.

FLAAASH!

A flash of blue light came out, making us close our eyes for a few seconds before we could see that the walls were no more, having changed to an enormous open gate, leading to a long corridor completely made of silver metal, just like the interior of the god\'s ruins, they seemed highly technological.

"Woah, it opened…" Zack said.

"Shall we go in then?" I said.

"Are you sure, Sylphy? There might be guardians inside like before…" Sighed Mist.

"Are you worried now? We\'ve gotten this far, there\'s no point in not getting inside and see what\'s there." I sighed.

"Yeah, you\'re right!" Aquarina said, easily supporting my decision. Her hand was suddenly shining bright blue though. "Huh? Why is my hand shining?"

"It is leading you…" Nephilim said. "I see! It makes sense nobody has ever discovered this place before until we got here. These ruins are protected by the god\'s divine powers, and will only open to the gods themselves… or those that hold their divine protections."

"Wait, does that means this entire temple… It was made for the divine protected of the nymph goddesses?" I wondered. "So without Aquarina, we would had never been able to even get here."

"That\'s positively the correct answer…" Nephi nodded. "Of course, the dungeon still has a normal path, but these hidden rooms containing special data gathered from the ancient gods… It is something only them or… someone with their divine protection, which allows them to contain the same type of divine power than them could get."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let\'s get in!" I said, quickly rushing inside with Aquarina, holding her hand as we entered the new and mysterious room.

Within the depths of the Dungeon, eight menacing red-colored eyes glanced down at Sylphy and her friends exploring yet another Hidden Room. The creature\'s eyes glanced at the scene with utter fascination and joy.
