The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 159: Ch 159: Getting Closer to Colinde

Rein and Colinde got ready for the fight. Colinde alone would not be able to handle so many opponents so Rein also needed to help her out. Colinde then manifested her sword and got ready for a fight. Rein remembered her to not hold back and to not show mercy as that might be the reason for her downfall.

Colinde nodded her head seriously. Even though the Demon Slaying Sword skill did not boost Colinde when she was fighting against humans, still this sword was a very good sword, much better than any sword she would be able to buy in the market. That is the reason why she was using the sword even against the humans.

Seeing a sword suddenly appearing in Colinde's hand, those robbers got a bit serious. They still did not think that these two little kids could defeat them but they were at least not going to take someone holding a weapon lightly. So when those men attacked, they also used their inherent skills.

The skills that these men had were not powerful ones. Only two people had somewhat decent and useful skills. One of them shot out a fireball and another one was able to boost his physical strength. But from what Rein was able to judge with his normal eyes, the physical boost was not very high, only about 20 or 30 percent.

Those men were not completely amateur and it was evident that they had some experience with team work by the way they moved. But Rein's and Colinde's teamwork was even better. In his current state Rein was not able to defeat all his opponents as easily as he was used to, so Rein used various techniques to optimize his fighting style to get rid of them.

As for Colinde, she did something that Rein had not expected. On her very first strike, Colinde directly targeted the heart of a man and pierced her sword through it. She had no hesitation at all while taking the life of a fellow living being and even after killing that man she did not give him even a second look and continued attacking the others.

Rein was a little but relieved to see that Colinde was able to handle her own but at the same time he was also very worried after seeing how ruthless she was. It was not a bad thing to be ruthless toward enemies but Rein had never given her any training to develop this kind of mentality. So Rein was a little curious to know what type of mindset Colinde had when she killed those men.

It did not take very long so get rid of all the robbers. There were actually a few more men hiding nearby to keep an eye on the situation and to help if there was any need and those all people were also killed. Rein only kept one person alive who looked like the most person among them for some interrogation.

Colinde killed more people than Rein even though it was her first time doing something like this. And after she was done with the fight, her expression did not change at all. She greeted Rein back happily as if what she did was not a big deal at all.

Rein was definitely going to question her about it later but for the time being, he started to get rid of the corpses and checked them for any valuables. The only remaining man was woken up and was asked about many questions.

It turned out that what Rein had guessed was correct. These people had seen Rein getting a huge amount of money from the receptionist and seeing that he was only a little boy with no adults around, they thought that this would be a perfect chance of earning some good easy money.

...

After getting all the information from the man Rein killed him immediately and got rid of all the evidence. He also explained the process of getting rid of the evidence to Colinde as that was an important lesson to learn. Then they quickly travelled to a lake and decided to spend the night in the lakeside.

After eating their dinner which was just roasted meat, Rein and Colinde sat beside the lake while looking at the reflection of the moon on the water. Colinde was leaning her body on Rein and Rein was also hugging her with one hand. In this romantic situation Rein asked about what she felt when she was fighting against humans for the first time in her life.

To Rein's question what Colinde said was a bit surprising. According to her, she had not felt anything at all when she cut down those men. For her humans, demons and vegetables were all the same. This was somewhat of a psychopathic thinking but Rein did not mind that and instead tried to find why she had developed this type of thinking pattern. From what Rein had seen so far, Colinde was a kind child.

She did not have a special upbringing and grew up just like any normal child. So Rein was not sure how she became like this.

After thinking about it for some time Colinde told him that she had always been like this as long as she was able to remember. The only person who was able to get a special designation in her heart was her childhood best friend Rein who had always been playing with her. For her everyone else was worthless and she had no interest in them.

After learning all that Rein judged that it was her nature. This was something impossible to change and there was also no reason to change it at all. A person's nature was innate and suppressing it could lead to unforeseen circumstances. So Rein just decided to support her in everything just as she was supporting him.

After that night Rein and Colinde became even closer with one another. Colinde was not sure about the reason but she was happy about it nonetheless. There were other troubles on the road but Rein and Colinde did their best to not waste any time.

The biggest trouble that they faced was when Rein and Colinde had a conflict with a boy whose father was the master of a large sect. That was a time when Rein was forced to run away without confronting the opponents. This was a situation that Rein had not felt for a long time and he became a little bit nostalgic while running away.

His intuition told him that he was not a match for the sect leader who had a very powerful talent and had even developed that talent to a high degree using the unique methods of this world. But it was not like Rein did not retaliate at all. He did end up breaking the legs of the arrogant kid who was the main reason for this conflict before running away.

As for true revenge, Rein would think about it after getting a bit stronger.

...

So just like that Rein was able to reach a city called, Houming City. This was the biggest city close to the Heaven Supression City where the Divine Scale Pavillion was located. That city was also the biggest and most prosperous city in the world. So before entering that Rein needed to make down preparations and that was exactly what he was going to do in this Houming City.
