The northern hunting grounds were not what he expected. Instead of the barren wasteland typically associated with a monster-infested area, they found themselves in what appeared to be an ancient, overgrown garden. Massive trees with iridescent leaves towered overhead, their branches intertwining to form natural archways. Flora unlike anything on the first floor bloomed in vibrant clusters, their petals shifting colors as they passed.

"This doesn't look like a hunting ground," Ruby remarked, her tail flicking with curiosity as she examined a flower that seemed to follow her movements.

Luna ran her fingers along the bark of one of the trees, her expression contemplative. "The Tower reorganizes itself constantly. What was once a desolate battlefield has transformed into... this." She gestured at their surroundings. "But don't be fooled by its beauty. The monsters here are just as deadly, if not more so."
