The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

The devil looking monster that they were able to find first was about as strong as a peak indigo rank powerhouse. It had a head of a goat and bat-like wings on its back. This was a type of monster about which Maggy had told them about and according to her judgement these ones should just be at the purple grade in terms of power.

This was interesting as not only was this monster stronger than normal, it also looked quite a bit hurt for some reason. It looked like before Rein's team came here, some kind of fight was going on. But the city looked extremely clean so it was hard to imagine any big fights breaking out here.

Rein's team was able to defeat this monster very easily but instead of killing it they decided to gather some information from it. As most dungeon monsters were not very intelligent, the Conquerors were not able to interrogate it. But they had other methods.

Tasha was able to use a spell to extract memories from a person's brain and she used that spell on this monster. Rein also had similar spells but for the time being Tasha wanted to be the one to gather the information.

As soon as the information was extracted, this monster suddenly started to scream in pain and died within 4 to 5 minutes. This was one of the drawbacks of this spell as the person in whom it was used would not be able to take the strain on the brain and would die.

...

The death of this monster was nothing to worry about for the Conquerors as they had already gotten the information that they were searching for. The memory of this monster showed the reasons behind all the uncommon things happening in this city.

According to the memory, since a few days ago, the undead monsters of this city had suddenly started to behave in a weird way. Instead of acting mindlessly like a normal dungeon monster, they started to behave in such a way that it looked like someone was controlling them like puppets.

The reason why this city had no undead monster was mostly because either all of them were dead or had left the city to go somewhere else. If the second outcome was true then this goat looking monster had no idea about what could be their destination.

As for the reason why it was stronger than normal and also injured, that was because there was a big fight between the undeads and the devil monsters. It looked like whoever was controlling the undeads were not capable of controlling the devil monsters, so both sides started fighting and killing one another.

In this life and death struggle, quite a few monsters were able to evolve and get stronger. This category includes both the undeads and the devil's. All the current alive monsters were all the Survivors from that large fight, so all of them had increased strength and battle capabilities.

But for Rein and his team, it was a good thing. If the undead monsters were here, then their numbers would be in the tens of thousands. Even if none among them were a match for them, their numbers would still be a bother. But now as all of those undeads were either dead or missing, Rein did not need to worry about them for the time being.

In future, they might need to face off against those undead monsters but in this world if there was a type of monster Rein was least worried about then that would be the undeads. Obviously the reason for that was his golden light chromatic affinity and its extreme effectiveness against undead monsters.

...

After learning about the reason why the city was so empty, most of the worries that the Conquerors had disappeared. So Rein and his lovers decided to do their separate ways to kill off all the remaining monsters as soon as possible.

For that reason, the speed at which they explored the city increased by a lot. Anna did not participate in any exploration and just followed Rein in his exploration. It was more like a little dungeon date to her instead of being a serious exploration. With her powers it was kind of normal for her to think in that way.

Very soon they were done with killing all the monsters and all four of them were standing in front of a black portal that would be leading them to a separate dimension. This separate dimension was the Tidur of Eternal Rest, where Maggy's progress in this dungeon stopped.

Normally there should have been a powerful undead inside this dimension which was powerful enough to fight equally against one of if not the strongest ancient dragons. But now with all this trouble happening with the undeads, Rein was not sure if it was still inside the dimension or not. And if he was not here Rein was not sure what he should do, as he needed to defeat it to clear this floor.

...

But fortunately Rein's worries turned out to be useless as after entering the dimension they immediately saw an undead who looked exactly like what Maggy was describing him to. It was sitting on the ground cross legged and a katana was embedded on the ground beside it.

This dimension had a little lake and the shore of the lake had a grassland. That undead man was sitting on that grass. All in all this dimension looked very picturesque.

The whole body of the undead man was pitch black in colour and his face was not very clear to see. It looked like he was a type of undead called Astral Death Swordmaster and for that reason his face looked like it was made of smoke or mist.

He was also wearing a simple clothing that a samurai of this region might wear which meant that he was most likely from a region which had similar culture to this nation where the dungeon was. Seeing Rein and his party entering the dimension, he calmly looked at them and then he suddenly spoke up which surprised everyone.

"So you were the people who that great person was talking about. Hmm intresting. I can tell that the lady over there is on a whole different level and I have no chance of defeating her. As for the boy, hmm it will be a close fight. The other two ladies are also quite strong but not as much as me. Now it makes sense why you all would be able to shake this dungeon.

Especially if one among you had the power to destroy souls as that great person had speculated."

This was a big surprise to everyone as according to Maggy's memory, he was not supposed to have the ability to talk. And Rein was horrified to see his powers. If this undead was as strong as his current self when it faced Maggy in the past. He had the ability to kill her in a single moment. This undead's current powers were at the same level as Rein or even at a level slightly stronger than Rein.

Seeing the expression on everyone's face, he held his sword and stood up. Seeing this everyone else also got ready for battle. The situation was very tense.
