Chapter 122: Ch 122: Learning about Current Situation
After telling the conquerors how he became a god of this dungeon, next he was planning to tell them about how the current situation came to be. This was also the part that Rein and his lovers were most interested in knowing about.
But to allow Rein and his party to understand about the current situation, they first needed to know about the strongest being of this Dungeon and also the last boss defending the core. It was a beautiful dark skinned girl who had a powerful coffin beside her. She was a dark affinity mage and also the reason why this dungeon was capable of using necromancy.
When Kenshin decided to become a part of this dungeon as a god, he was unable to share the undying attributes of this dungeon because he was allowing the will of the dungeon to only influence 10 percent of his soul. For that reason, he decided to turn into an undead to gain the immortality aspect. According to him it was a better choice than to become a puppet for this evil Dungeon's will.
But in this process his strength decreased by a huge margin but he was a little happy about it. Now that he needed to support this dungeon the weaker he was the better it would be. That's how he lived in this place, where Lingxi's soul was, he talked with her and spent who knew how many years here.
But just a few days ago, he felt that for some reason the power of the dungeon's will was decreasing. He had no idea why that was the case and he just waited to see what would happen next. If the dungeon's will would die this way, he would be extremely happy about it as in that case Lingxi's soul would be free to reincarnate and he could just give up on ten percent of his soul without any regrets.
Then just two days ago, he suddenly felt a big chance. For some reason the consciousness of the dungeon's will suddenly disappeared and instead another person's consciousness took over it. The person who did this amazing work turned out to be the dark skinned girl he was talking about beforehand, the last boss of this dungeon.
She told Kenshin that she was never under the dungeon's influence and was just making the dungeon to believe that by utilising her amazing knowledge in soul.
But she was unable to do anything else and if the dungeon's will found out about this lie, then at least 10 percent of her soul would definitely be permanently influenced by it and unlike Kenshin, she was unwilling to lose even that much to this dungeon.
So she waited, waited for a chance to turn the situation around. Then she was able to find a chance just a few days ago when Rein started destroying souls that were under the dungeon's control. Rein had thought that this was not very damaging to the dungeon but he was wrong about that. This act was tremendously dangerous for the will of the dungeon and it became quite weak because of that.
Rein had found it a bit surprising that the dungeon was not doing anything special to stop him from rampaging around even though it had an intelligent will and now they knew the reason.
That girl took this chance to take over the dungeon for a few moments and gathered her forces that she was secretly creating for a long time. They were all the undeads that were inside this dungeon. As all of them were created by using her magic as a base, she was able to control them at will and they were not under the dungeon's control at all.
It was so brilliantly done that even Kenshin did not notice that who turned him into an undead was not the dungeon but a different person.
So, after activating all the undeads she started to kill and defeat the other genuine dungeon monsters to weaken the will of the dungeon even more.
At that time she contacted Kenshin and told him about these things. She was also the one who completed the necromancy spell on his to turn him into a stronger race of undead and he was able to gain his previous powers back with it.
The reason why he was weaker was because she had never cast a complete spell when she was acting like a puppet of the dungeon but now she was completing those spells so the undeads were becoming stronger than before.
She was able to control all the other undeads to work for her but as Kenshin's power level was equivalent to her own, she was unable to control him. But for that she did not act like a control freak and asked for his help.
But when Kenshin said that he was unwilling to leave this dimension as something bad might happen to Lingxi when he was away, she accepted it after thinking about some time and asked his help for a different matter.
She wanted him to test the person's strength who was responsible for destroying the souls and if he was a good person she told him to explain the situation to that person. There was a chance that Rein was a greedy freak who was unworthy of his powerful ability, so this type of testing was a necessary step.
That was why Kenshin challenged Rein to a battle after he saw him. As a warrior and a sword master, he was most adept at judging a person's character during a life and death battle and Kenshin's objective for the fight was to see if Rein was a good enough person or not and it was never about getting defeated. So he had never intended to lose and had gone all out.
But still Rein was able to somewhat triumph over him with a lot of difficulty but at the same time Kenshin understood what type of person Rein was. That was the reason why Kenshin started to tell him about everything he knew about the current situation.
...
Learning about all the what Rein and the girls felt at first was amazement and admiration. All of them were deeply impressed by the girl who was the orchestra of this whole situation.
She needed to act like she was a puppet for such a long time just to find a chance to end this dungeon. And her patience paid off and now she was almost successful. From the current state of the dungeon it was sure that the will of the dungeon was not in a good situation.
Then Rein asked Kenshin if there was something this girl wanted them to help. Rein was ready to help her in any way possible if her demands were not absolutely unreasonable. Hearing that Kenshin smiled slightly and handed Rein a crystal ball. He explained that it was an artifact that one of the undeads had given him and they would use it to contact her if they wanted to.
Hearing that Rein took the crystal ball from Kenshin's hand and poured his magic powers in it. The crystal ball lit up with a milky white light and everyone gave the full attention to the crystal ball to see who this amazing lady was.
