More terrifying than a dungeon ca96084143 break, these gates meant that 2abada2c39 multiple dungeons had formed at 528f2bfb29 once, exponentially increasing the risk.86076f1659b2f40c

With a dungeon break, d1fb3dae4f monsters only emerged from ed0c4f525c the gate itself, so f6777eaa32 guarding the entrance sufficed.
