The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After that attack, everyone was on high alert. Tasha took all the captives to the city of Joum as only that city could handle a bunch of mithril rank and an adamantine rank criminal.

Funny Mask was an organisation which was wanted in many nations including in the kingdom of Hejour, so handing them over to the authority also came with a hefty reward.

Tasha teleportation magic was revealed to the Golden Reverie, but Rein and his team were actually not afraid of revealing it with their level of strength otherwise they would have hidden it from the captives in the city of Hetharna too. And Rein was also quite trustful of Trista and her team.

...

So, the next day, everyone got up early to start their journey as soon as possible. Everyone wanted to reach their next destination in the shortest amount of time.

And at the same time, Rein and Mona also started to implement their own little plan that would allow them to get Mona out of the count's family without any problems.

After yesterday's attack, Stella proposed a simple plan to act as if Mona had died in that attack. This would allow them to easily get Mona out of the family and as the attack was very sudden, something like that happening was very much possible.

But Rein rejected this idea as that would give the Golden Reverie a black mark on take carrier. Failing to protect your client you were supposed to defend was one of the worst failures for an adventurer team and Rein had no intention of burdening the Golden Reverie with such reputation.

So, he decided to try a different plan.

As they were all travelling at full speed, some of the nobles started to complain about the bumpy carriage and not getting enough rest. This was actually Mona's doing but she did not influence their mind so say such things. Instead she just removed all the influence of her ability from them.

These relatives of a count were all naturally very proud and kind of foolish. The only reason they were behaving well so far was because Mona was unwilling for them to create trouble everywhere, so she gave them a simple suggestion of not meddling too much with the adventures.

But now with that suggestion gone, that started to act like how they would normally act which was horrible.

They were not only complaining non-stop, some of them were even trying to hit on the girls. Tasha and Stella were at the very back of the procession, so fortunately they were not part of the girls who were getting troubled or Rein would just have killed them off without thinking about anything else.

But he could not allow Trista and her party members to get into trouble, so Rein took the responsibility of being a harsh fearless adventurer and scolded them off.

This did not sit well with the proud sons of nobility and just like the fools they were, they tried to poison Rein's food. Mona knew that one of her brothers who was travelling with them had a potent poison with him and Rein's plan was to make him use this.

Next the poisoned food was eaten by Mona who wanted to be fed by Rein and she died because of this. Rein immediately apprehended her brother who actually poisoned the food and locked him up as a criminal.

Among the nobles who were with Mona, he was the only bad apple and even though others were very prideful, they would at least not resort to poison and killing for every little thing.

So, just like that Mona was able to get out of the picture while getting rid of a bad apple of the Borrs family and without badly affecting the Golden Reverie team. It was almost perfect.

Then the very next day, finally they were able to reach the targeted city. Immediately afterwards, The Conquerors asked the Golden Reverie to do the following official works and with a promise to meet them later on, they left this city with their carriage.

Rein wanted to take Mona away from the count Borrs' family and that's why they separated from everyone. The Golden Reverie were really very helpful and Rein was feeling grateful toward them.

They also took on all the troublesome guild reporting work and for that Rein was definitely planning to repay all of them.

But for now, he had his sister to take care of. So they used teleportation magic to immediately go to a city called Lentearia and booked a room there.

This was one of the cities that they came across while escorting Count Borrs' family and according to Mona, this city was under a neutral noble who was not very ambitious but quite territorial. So, this place was quite safe from any influence of any other noble family.

As the conquerors were responsible for getting in the way for a marquis' plan, he would most likely try to take revenge. It was not really anything serious for them, but still having pests disturbing them while Rein was busy reuniting with his sister was unpleasant, so they came to this city.

Normally by now, Rein was planning to enter that hard dungeon again, but he changed his plan. He was meeting his big sister after a very long time, so he was going to spend at least a few days having fun with her.

Then only after taking her to a good and safe place to practice her skills, Rein would finally be able to relax enough to enter the dungeon.

So the next day, Rein took her sister out for a date. It was not really a date as his sister was too young for that, but the brother and sister were going to spend the whole day together walking around the city and having fun.

While this was happening, Stella and Tasha at first thought that they would scout out the new floor a bit but Rein stopped them as it was a brand new floor and he was too worried to let them enter it alone. So they decided to practice magic for the whole day.

Those two had many hypotheses they wanted to try out and they also had the intention of surprising Rein with an awesome spell.

Rein and Mona did not have any destination in mind and started their outing with just walking around the city while holding hands. Obviously it was nothing romantic and it just looked like a big brother going around the city with his cute little sister.

Mona had never experienced something like this and was enjoying every moment of it. She never ran out of topics to speak to Rein and he also wanted to listen to everything that his sister had to say. While walking around they were also tasting any food that caught their eyes.

Mona was still very young, so she was just eating a bite of two as she wanted to taste more food and for that she needed her tummy to be empty. But some of the foods were just too good and she ended up eating most of it. So, very soon she got full and both of them decided to rest a bit inside a park.

There, while leaning on Rein Mona asked him a question. After seeing how strong her brother was she became a bit disheartened, as now her dream of helping Rein with her powers was a pipedream.

So she wanted to ask her very reliable brother if she could do something for him even with her lackluster abilities.

Rein smiled a bit after hearing her question and answered her while patting her head -

"Sis, your ability is very strong. Not that but you're also very young and I think your ability will get stronger as you grow more. Look at this."

Telling that Rein created a wound in his hand with a light blade. But that wound immediately healed surprising Mona.

"When I first awakened my ability this simple wound would have taken a whole day to heal. But now it could heal me almost immediately. Not every ability can grow but from what I can see, I think your illusion ability has a very high chance of growth. You just need to train it a little bit.

Then I believe my sister could stand on the same level as me or even high."

After saying this much Rein looked at Mona with very gentle and kind eyes. But other than those two emotions, something else was present there. Something very deep that Mona was unable to understand as she was quite young. But that emotion was something she instinctively enjoyed.

"I want to become the strongest. Strongest in the world, strongest in the universe, strongest in the multiverse. When father and mother died, I was too weak and was unable to help them at all. All I was able to do was to see them getting killed while I was helpless.

That is a feeling I never want to experience again. I want my lovers, my sister and my family to always stay safe.

To make that a certainty I need to reach the peak of power. But I don't want to stand there all alone, I want all of you to join me on that peak too. So sis, I will be very happy if you can join me there. I don't want you to take any pressure, but to just do your best just as I will also do my best."

Just like that the brother and sister pair became even closer to each other.
