The stealthy approach was starting to get on Dante's nerves. More than once he was forced to take a detour around an enemy patrol, and he had long since lost count of the number of close calls he had had.
Strangely enough, he had yet to be discovered even once. If only his luck didn't run out by the time he crossed the third basement floor and reached the stairs leading to the second.
Caligo's hideout had six underground floors. Dante had used Type 8-3's portals to climb up from the sixth to the fourth, and from there he made his way to the stairs leading to the third. There were no guards stationed at that point, allowing him to pass without trouble, but by the time he crossed the dark maze, two gangsters were awaiting him at the bottom of the stairs.
After confirming that they weren't moving from the area, Dante retreated to the corner of a nearby room and sat down to think.
'... Volcan, give me 8-3'
[Understood.]
