The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 120: Ch 120: A Sword Fight

Seeing all the members of the conquerors to be in a high alert, the undead swordmaster smiled slightly and continued speaking.

"Hmm, I have a feeling that I should be slightly stronger than the boy but my instincts are telling me that you are capable of killing in very easily. Hmm, if I had to make a guess then you must have some kind of method that is super effective against me.

Hmm, then how about it, I know that you all have many questions and I don't know if I have answers for all your questions or not but I at least know a few things. I will tell you about that information if the boy could defeat me without resorting to your special means."

Rein thought about his proposal while looking seriously on the information that the dungeon was showing about him.

[Name: Miyamoto Kenshin

Race: Astral Death Swordmaster (formerly Undying Guardian God)

Rank: Unknown

Description: Unknown, cannot be determined.]

It looked like somehow this person had managed to get out of the dungeon's influence. Rein was able to be sure about that after he checked his soul with his Eye of Truth. Somehow his soul was not under the dungeon's control anymore and someone else had overwritten that. Now he should have been under that person's control but that person had given him full freedom.

So for the current moment it was sure that whatever he was doing was done by his own self. No one was forcing him in any way.

...

After thinking about the proposal, Rein decided to accept it. He needed information for the time being and it looked like this man really knew a decent amount about the current situation. So he was a very good source of information.

As for this person's strength, Rein was at least confident of killing him anytime he wanted. And even without the help of his super effective Golden Light chromatic element, Rein was confident in his strength to not lose. Especially after finding a strong opponent in front of him, he was willing to go all out to not lose to him as he would be fighting before his lovers.

...

The battle started with both of them facing off against one another with sword in hand. Rein was holding Kagura and he had not activated any of its broken abilities as to make this battle as fair as possible. Currently Kagura was just a powerful sword with high stats.

At first both of them did not go all out and slightly checked out each other's fighting style and skill level. After clashing blades for a hundred times or so, Rein was a little bit disheartened to see that his skills with a sword were inferior to Kenshin.

But Rein had expected that to happen. At the end of the day, Rein was only about 20 years old. Even with all the talent in the whole world, without having enough time and experience in using a sword, it was almost impossible to become a master of the art.

If a 20 year old Rein was capable of defeating the person known as the Sword Saint in ancient times, then his title and reputation would just be a joke.

So, Rein did what he was best at doing and started to use Miyamoto as a tool to improve his swordsmanship. In terms of pure sword skills, Miyamoto Kenshin was equivalent to even Anna. So, for Rein who was mostly learning his sword technique from Anna, he was a very good opponent to test various things out.

Obviously Miyamoto Kenshin was not a kind enough person to allow Rein using him as a tool and his attacks became more ferocious and deadly. If Rein was able to use his as a tool in the current situation, then he would have nothing to complain about.

The only reason Rein was capable of keeping up with Kenshin was because of his insane regeneration ability. The amount of damage that Rein had taken so far was enough to kill any normal person. Rein was only alive because his ability was just so broken.

But even Rein's abilities had a limit to it, especially when he was against a swordsman as good as Kenshin. Seeing that minor and non fatal wounds were not going to defeat Rein, he started to get serious.

Rein was capable of using Sword King Arts which in his knowledge was the highest level of sword art. But after meeting with Anna he learnt that he was mistaken. There was something above the King Arts for a weapon and that was God Arts.

Anna was capable of using Sword and Spear God Arts and Rein was mostly learning from Anna to get an idea about how he could learn and use a God Art but he was unable to learn it still now.

Now Kenshin was going to use one such art. Rein had seen the power of Anna's Sword God Art and if Kenshin's Art was even remotely as strong as that one, He would not be able to endure it. In this situation it was better to just be cautious and use his light element or to at least use the power of Kagura to defend against this attack.

But he did nothing like that. When he noticed that Kenshin was going to use a Sword God Art, instead of getting ready to defend against it, Rein took an attacking stance. He imagined in his mind the form of his beloved lover Anna when she used a particular Sword God Art that he was trying to learn.

With Kenshin getting ready to unleash his blow, the threat of death was hanging over Rein's mind. In this situation, his mind became more focused and the few things he was unable to realise before became clear to him. As he saw Kenshin's sword approaching him, he also struck back.

The move Kenshin was using was called "Severing Heaven and Earth". It sounded like an epic move but in actuality it was one of the strongest basic moves of the style of swordsmanship he practiced. It was definitely a powerful move but a basic one nonetheless. So it's power was very limited.

But Miyamoto Kenshin was in love with this move. He was mocked at the beginning for being fixated over this single move by his peers but he was able to shut all of them down very quickly as his talent with the sword was just off the charts.

But he was still obsessed with this move. And the result of that obsession was the creation of his first Sword God Art move which had used the Severing Heaven and Earth as its base. So the move he used against Rein was the very first Sword God Art he created and also his favourite move.

On the other hand, the move Rein was trying to use was named "Sword God Art: Divinity Slash". It was a move that Anna had created and it was also something that Rein was compatible with.

Now what was going to be the result of this clash.
