The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 140: Ch 140: Troubles on All Sides

In a danger zone called "Astanina Ruins", Roey Favonisus and Traxter Mabduvme were fighting against two super large scorpions who were at the transcendental rank. Roey was a knight leading one division of the Royal guards and Traxter was a legendary adventurer who was currently retired and was leading a mercenary company. Both of them were powerful people with exceptionally high fighting capability.

As this danger zone was judged to not be too dangerous as it only had two transcendental rank monsters. So only these two individuals were sent here to take care of it. Both of them were experienced people so the chance of any mishap happening was really low.

And just as most people had expected, the fight against the Scorpions went just like everyone had expected. Even though at first it looked like they were evenly matched but very soon Roey and Traxter were able to gain advantage continuously. Just like that in just a few more minutes they were able to severely injure the two monsters.

But before they were able to go for the killing attack, suddenly both of the scorpions turned tail and ran deeper into the ruins. Even when powerful attacks hit them in their back, they did not turn back and ran toward the deepest part of this ruins. Both of them were a little bit surprised at first but then soon chased after them.

Inside they saw that these scorpions had found a new hidden path in the ruins about which no one had any idea about. That hidden passage led to a large room and currently those two monsters were standing still exactly in the middle of the room.

Seeing those two monsters to just silently standing in the room as if they were already dead, both of the legendary powerhouses had no idea what they should do. But then they made a decision to be cautious so they planned to attack the monsters with long range attacks without getting closer to it.

This was obviously a good plan as that way even if these scorpions were playing any tricks, they were safe from them. But this seemingly very good decision turned out to be the wrong decision.

...

Roey threw a large spear toward the minister which was coated with a layer of sharp water. As for Traxter, he used a long range wind magic spell called the Tempest Burst to attack one of the big monsters.

As soon as their attacks hit the monsters their bodies were destroyed without any resistance. It turned out that they were actually already dead. Both of them then started wondering how these two monsters died as even though they were injured their injuries were not too bad.

But before they were able to come up with any conclusions, suddenly the whole room lit up with a red light and the door of this room suddenly closed. As soon as that happened, the powerful artifact became unable to record anything that was happening in that room. So no one had any idea what was happening inside it with those two transcendental rank powerhouses.

It's already been a few minutes and if they could, they would definitely have broken the door within this much time. But they did nothing like that. Later one another Transcendental powerhouse tried to break the door from outside but his attacks were ineffective against this simple looking stone door for some reason. That was the reason why everyone was so worried.

...

As soon as she got the news, Utrena immediately took action. She sent one of the strongest people from her nation to check the situation there. It was none other than the head of her royal guard, Gabriel Tendira. He was like a close uncle to Utrena and she trusted him a lot. And with his power level being equivalent to a peak blue grade powerhouse, he was definitely capable enough.

But that was only her public stance. Privately she requested Rein to check the situation out. Roey and Traxter were both good people so Utrena was quite worried about them. Especially about Roey as she was a friend of hers.

Rein had no reason to not listen to her request and he immediately left the room. Stella, Anna and obviously Kagura also went with him to support him. Alexandria and Tasha stayed in the fortress to support and protect Utrena as the situation was quite dire.

...

After finishing their fight just as everyone was busy congratulating each other for surviving the battle, suddenly the whole Canion started to shake. Everyone was bewildered because of this sudden localised earthquake and some of the weaker people even fell on their butts.

Then suddenly everyone started to feel a very frightening presence. It almost felt like something scary had suddenly come back to life, as just a few moments ago they were unable to notice such a presence at all.

The ground started to shake more and more then from a part of the Canion lava started to come out. But this region was not a Volcanic area so everyone was extremely surprised by the sudden appearance of the lava.

But what appeared after that was even more frightening. From that lava, a large head came out first and it was followed by the whole body of this monster. This monster was also a dragon but comparing it with the previous ones who were defeated would be an insult to it.

This monster was more than 30 meters tall and from head to the tip of the tail it was at least 70 or 80 meters long. It has the head of a serpent and a very long neck but the lower part of its body had limbs like a lizard. It did look a bit weird but no one could deny that it looked very frightening.

This was a Lava Dragon. There were many types of Lava Dragons and it looked like this creature was an ancient Lava Dragon who was probably sleeping here for a very long time. But for some reason, it has suddenly awakened today. As the eyes of this monster were red and it looked like it had no reason left there, everyone was scared about the destruction that this monster was going to cause.

Even among dragons Lava dragons were considered superior as they could not only control two elements of fire and ground but they were even able to easily combine them with their racial talent. So a Lava Dragon was many times more powerful than a regular dragon of the same rank and age.

That was the reason why everyone was scared of this Lava Dragon who was most probably an ancient dragon in terms of age.

But just as everyone was looking at the Lava Dragon with fear. A red figure suddenly kicked it and sent it flying. Obviously it was Agetha who did that. Seeing that scene everyone came back to their senses and got ready to fight this monster with a renewed determination.
