The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 87: Ch 87: Dungeon of Ancient Secrets (1)



The place where the soul jade was kept was a very secretive place. This inheritance of the royal family was a second lifeline to them, so its importance was self-evident. That was the reason why this jade was kept in a location where no one was able to enter easily.

It was a dark area with an aura of demise and destruction surrounding the whole place. Even powerful people like Rein and his lovers felt a chill running down their spine after entering this place.

But even more than that what surprised everyone more was the presence of a dungeon. The ancient book did not mention the presence of any dungeon around this area. So most probably this dungeon was created after the fall of the ancient kingdom.

After searching the area Rein's group found out another astonishing thing. The location of the dungeon was exactly the same as the location of the soul jade mentioned in the book. It looked as if the place where the soul jade was kept had turned into a dungeon itself.

Rein immediately started a group meeting with all the girls. They now were discussing if they should challenge this dungeon immediately or not.

Normally it would not be even a question as Rein was always ready to challenge a dungeon. And he was obviously going to challenge this one too. But he was not a careless person. From the aura coming from the dungeon, it was surely going to be dangerous one.

Probably even more dangerous than any other dungeons they had challenged before. That was the reason Rein wanted to know the opinion of his lovers and companions.

After thinking about it for some time Stella said -

"If we are going to challenge this dungeon anyways, I think it will be better to do that right now. Currently we all are pumping with adrenaline after all we experienced in the last few hours. So I believe this to be the perfect time to test this dungeon out.

We should obviously send a mail to Lauren through the network to let her know that we will be late in returning."

"Hmm, I agree with Stella's opinion. It's not like we are injured or something and challenging it at a later date will not give us any significant advantages. So doing it right now will be better."

"As for me I'm always ready to be used by Rein. Whenever and wherever."

After getting a positive response from all three of his companions, Rein immediately decided to challenge the dungeon. He was not an indecisive man and after making up his mind, he was definitely going to take the dungeon on from the front.

...

The entrance of the dungeon itself was just a large hole whose bottom could not be seen. Kagura turned into her sword form and Rein held her by the hilt. Then Stella and Tasha hugged Rein from the sides and he jumped down the hole with everyone.

Even though the hole looked endless, the fall was not long at all on the contrary. After only a few seconds of jumping down, Rein was able to land on the solid ground. After looking around they saw that they were inside a cave.

So they went outside the cave and found themselves inside a dark forest. Rein called it a dark forest not only because it was dark but also because everything in this forest was dark in colour.

The leaves in the trees were either black or deep purple. The wood had a dead grey colour. The grasses were either dark brown or dark green. The sky was also pitch black in colour but there were a few strikes of dark red here and there.

It looked as if someone had drawn a dark red line on a pitch black canvas.

As soon as they came out of the cave, many creatures living in this forest detected them. Rein, Stella and Tasha were also able to immediately detect a lot of hostile presence around them. The number of presence they were able to feel was astonishing.

When they were inside the cave they were actually unable to detect anything at all. So that meant the cave was a completely isolated space.

Tasha immediately used her Black Dark magic to go into hiding while Stella also used her elvin senses to hide herself among the trees in the forest. Rein also activated the stealth function of his clock to hide himself and Kagura.

Rein and his group did not go into hiding because they were scared of the monsters. Instead they did that because before engaging those monsters in battle, they wanted to observe their power level.

Depending on whether they were too strong or too weak, Rein's group would have different plans and tactics to follow.

After taking a good look at most of the monsters living in this forest, Rein judged them to be quite strong. Even the weakest among them was at the blue grade transcendental rank and the strongest one was at orange grade.

The difficulty of only the first floor was almost equivalent to the highest difficulty of the great dungeon they cleared which had a dungeon master controlling it.

Instead of fighting those monsters head on, first Rein, Stella and Tasha started sneak attacking the powerful monsters to make the upcoming battle a bit easier. Even then when all the monsters of this forest were killed, already over 12 hours had passed.

This dungeon also had an accelerated time if compared to the real world. 10 hours inside was only 1 hour outside.

While Rein, Stella and Tasha were killing the monsters, they thought that some of the monsters would run away. But that did not happen.

As soon as a monster living in the forest was able to sense Rein or his group's presence, they would immediately attack them no matter what the power level of the monsters were.

That was the main reason why Rein's group was able to wipe all the monsters out in such a short amount of time. Then after searching the whole forest carefully, Stella was the one who was able to discover a hole on a tree that had similar functions to the hole that had sent them inside this dungeon.

Rein did a very thorough analysis of the hole and judged it to be safe and also the proper entrance to the second floor of the dungeon.

But even after that they did not immediately go to the next floor. They rested a bit to allow their mana to fully recover and only then they got ready to check the second floor.

Just like before, Stella and Tasha attached themselves to Rein's two sides who were also holding Kagura and then he jumped inside the portal with all of them attached to him.

Just like that, the adventure of The Conquerors continued.
