(A day later.)
Screech!
A large axe descended killing a centipede in half, the group decided not to go to the dungeon yet and instead went to the subway. Although still warry of the place they still decided to go here to level up quickly, before going to the dungeon.
Screech

Several more screeches can be heard behind the fog. The group advance slowly until they perceived something.
They look up and saw multiple centipede died being pierced by a large spike. The group knows that this is Karl's doing.
Moments later. They saw multiple centipede rushing towards them. With the distance between them and the centipede no less then four meters.
With the centipedes speed. The group was aware that they would not be able to dodge the centipede.
Luckily, Patrick was Infront of the group as he used [fortification] and brandished his sword and received the centipedes head on.
"Grrrhhh" He grunted as his footing was slid back.
Trish leap above Patrick and used [Strike] cutting down several centipedess, Leah and Matt went and dash forward clearing the remaining centipede that survive Trish's attack.
Karl looked at his team and nodded satisfied with their combat prowess, with Patrick being the tank, Trish will be the DPS and Leah and Matt picking out enemies while he himself will provide support.
After finishing the centipede. They continued moving forward, the sneaky battle continued in the next fourty minutes.
Until then, they noticed the fog was thinning out only making them warry not knowing if this is a good omen.

"Well shit" Patrick said seeing the same notification in the park.
"Are we going to continue" Leah asked not confident of using
"We should continue" Karl said thinking that the team is fully capable of whats inside.
"But. What if we're not strong enough on dealing what's inside" Leah asked worried after hearing Karl.
"I think we're fully capable since stepping in here we really didn't have any problem dealing with the centipede's, infact we basically mowed them down" Karl said assuring his team that they are all really capable of dealing anything in there.
"Yeah, boss is right. I didn't even break a sweet walking in here" Matt reinforcing what Karl's said helping them to gain more confident in there ability.
"If you say so" Patrick said, lessening the weight in his chest after hearing both Karl and Matt's assuring comments.
"Yeah! You're right " Leah followed up as well with a newfound resolve in her voice.
"I'm going as well" Trish said with a quieter tone, but they clearly heard it.
With the whole team agreeing, they continued going further feeling air the air growing heavier and the temperature getting colder.
The mist growing thicker making the group warry, thinking that they can always head back. But decided to go anyways.

A giant spike appeared in the middle of the group reaching the ceiling.
SCREECH!
Green blood flowed down from the spike as they heard a loud screech and look up to see a giant centipede larger than a bus as it wriggle it's body from pain with it's head being pierced.
Karl used basic detection for the first time on his enemies.

Karl used both his totem skill, hoping that those two skill will make a difference.
