Could it be that Roxanne is just as severely sleep deprived as I am, and that is what made her act so carelessly? Maybe our yesterdays activities really left her as exhausted as I was, and she also could not get enough sleep because of our routine where we are waking up even before the sunrise so that we could go to the Labyrinths to farm monsters for their Drop Items before breakfast? If it really is like that, then she should have just told that to me, and then we definitely would not have come here, instead taking this opportunity to have ourselves another day of rest that we apparently both needed quite desperately.
Not to mention that there is a chance that this is not an actual treasure chest, but a cleverly disguised Mimic, so we should be very careful as we approach it.
I put my Wand away, and pulled out Durandal instead.
Master, what are you doing?
Preparing myself just in case that this chest turns out to be a Mimic. You ready, Roxanne?
After giving Sherry a short explanation and taking my battle-ready stance, I gave Roxanne a small nod, and she nodded back at me. Now, if this supposed treasure chest tries anything funny, it is going to be so surprised when instead of feasting on the flesh of an idiot Adventurer who was dumb enough to approach it without any precautions, it is going to have its teeth shattered to pieces by Durandals blade.
Uhm, master? I know that you are always wary and careful when it comes to the Labyrinths and its traps and monsters, but I think you can rest easy this time, because I do not think that Mimics are going to be appearing on the lower floors of the Labyrinths, and even if they were, the chance of running into one on the ninth floor would be truly miniscule.
Really? You think so?
Yes. There is not that much information available about them, but from what is indeed known, it does not seem like they appear on the first ten floors of the Labyrinths, must likely because the lower floors are the place where there is not that many treasure chests. If I were to hazard a guess as to where they would start making their appearances, then it would probably be floors from twelfth and above, because that is the point that separates rookie Adventurers from the experienced ones, which is mirrored by the appearances of treasure chests being much more frequent from that point onward, and these are the chests that have a random chance of them not being a treasure chest, but a Mimic monster. And on top of that, some Adventurers even reported encountering them in the Floor Boss Boss Rooms disguised as treasure chests, so they can not only appear as a regular enemy, but as a substitute of a regular Floor Boss as well.
So it can also work like that, huh? From my knowledge of video games from my time back on earth, I happen to possess a vague understanding of how Mimics work.
