The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 109: Ch 109: Clearing New Area and Finding a New God

After clearing the Strong Strom Canion, the Conquerors went outside and immediately came back in the dungeon to challenge the Frozen Tundra next. Rein had no idea which of the remaining areas might have the sleeping god, so he did not think much about it and decided to challenge the Frozen Tundra next.

As the name suggested, this area was covered in snow and there was always snow falling from the sky in this region. The cold of this place is freezing and a person needed specialised equipment to survive it.

Even then this area was quite famous and several gold or silver ranks also came here frequently. That was because at the outer edge of this area where it was connected to the Sunken Ruins, a special type of flower called Blue Light Fristua bloomed.

This flower was extremely beautiful and was also a valuable material useful for alchemy. And as the outer edge of this area had a very low encounter rate for any monsters, anyone with a decent cold resistant equipment was able to collect this valuable flower without much risk to their lives.

That was the reason why this floor was quite famous and most of the silver or gold rank adventurers who were not related to any big families earned money by selling these flowers.

Rein and his lovers were also spellbound to see a large area of snow covered by these flowers. They looked amazing and beautiful. So much so that, Rein decided to take a small break to eat their lunch here in a picnic style.

...

After having a little picnic in between the beautiful blue flowers and flirting with each other for some time, they seriously started to challenge this floor. Even though adventurers who were not suited for this area visited it frequently that did not mean that this area was easy to clear.

The risk was low only in the outer edge of the area. As one went in deeper the blizzard would get stronger and stronger. The same was the case with the monsters. But monsters were not the only trouble of this floor. There were a lot of natural traps like crevasses and fissures here. Those were deadly and many adventurers died because of them.

These natural traps were harder to find than artificial ones and their lethality was also higher. But at the same time, some of these hid valuable treasures and materials so the conquerors were trying to actively find these traps to search for treasures.

Very soon they reached the region where the boss of this area was. It was a frozen lake and the thickness of the layer of ice here was very thin. So this frozen lake was very bad for heavy warriors and for people with mobility.

The boss of this area was quite special among all the mid level bosses. That was not because it was exceptionally powerful but because the boss had a very rare ability. That boss was a small 50 cm tall white fox and it had the special ability that allowed it to transform into five types of monsters living in this area but at their strongest form.

Those five monsters whose form this fox took were a giant snow ape, an ice scorpion, a frost wolf, a cold serpent and a blizzard falcon. The common thing about these five monsters was that all of them had the potential to reach the peak of rank 3 and the power of this fox transformation was able to bring that potential out.

So, this transformation fox was a very versatile boss and one of the difficult ones to beat. But then when the conquerors challenged it, it just became a target for Tasha to practice several of her techniques on it as it changed its form to counter her techniques.

At the end of the day, Tasha found this fox to be a very good training partner even though it was quite weak and she was happy with the amount of training she was able to get. Just like that the Frozen Tundra was cleared.

...

After clearing the Frozen Tundra, next they were going to challenge the Land of Floating Platforms. This area was very weird and adventurers needed to either have flying capability or very high jumping capability to challenge this floor.

This area had not been completely explored even after such a long time because of this reason. Most of the adventurers even those of mithril rank did not have the capability of flight and that was the reason why almost no one visited this place.

As the conquerors were unable to find a sleeping god in the previous two areas, they were sure that this area must have a god sleeping. Their previous experience was the basis behind that belief.

It turned out that the last god they defeated was someone that Anna knew about. But they had asked her about the Titan God of Victorious Desert, she said that she had no idea about it. So Rein was curious to know what type of God was sleeping here and would Anna know about it or not.

With that question in mind, Rein and his lovers teleported to this area. They found themselves on a platform and saw another platform floating just a few metres ahead of them.

The first few platforms were close by and it was possible to jump from one platform to another. But after five or six jumps the distance between the platforms would increase by a lot and a person would not be able to jump from one platform to another anymore.

There were monsters in all the platforms which also made the job even harder.

After coming to this place, he was able to feel the presence of the god and he was also able to find the condition to wake the god up. But this time the condition was not as simple as destroying the platform. Instead they needed to find and collect down special types of murals. All these murals had some kind of drawing on it and they were like puzzle pieces.

When they would be able to find all the different types of murals and would also be able to figure out the big picture by solving the puzzle, only the god would wake up.

This was an extremely troublesome process as there might be several murals of the same type. So to save time, all the members of the conquerors decided to split up and went to search in four different directions. Obviously Kagura stayed with Rein and did not separate.

After searching for 14 long hours, finally the conquerors managed to explore this area completely. This was bigger than almost all the other areas which was a surprise. But then as they started to spend the puzzle, suddenly Rein noticed that even after all that two types of murals were still missing.

So again everyone had to go out for a second round of searching. This was probably the most troublesome area of this dungeon that the conquerors had ever challenged.
