The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 170: Ch 170: Missions

Rein, Lan and Colinde returned back to the sect very early the next day. Immediately after that Rein became busy with deciphering the ancient item. When he deciphered it for the first time, what was written on it was -

"Gods and Devils play, humans and demons suffer".

This was quite an interesting statement and Rein had planned to learn more about it. The highest known realm that a human was able to reach was also called the True God realm. Was the god mentioned in the items were these powerful True Gods. The top powerhouse among the demons were also called True Devil so it also matched.

But still Rein's intuition told him that what he was thinking was not totally correct but he was unable to find what was wrong with his thoughts.

Now that he deciphered it again he found that with the addition of those strokes the meaning of the sentence had changed but it looked like the changes were still not completely done. A few of the latter were still changing and the letter that Rein noticed was not the first one to her chance.

Currently the sentence had no proper meaning but Rein was sure that when all the changes would be done, it would again create a proper sentence. At that time Rein might be able to learn about a little more of this world's secret and might even be able to use this item.

So for the time being Rein started to observe the item daily to wait when the changes would be completed.

...

After bringing Colinde in the sect, one more month had passed. Rein was living a very enjoyable life where he spent most of his time either cultivating and researching or with the other ladies. The sect had decided to leave Rein alone for the time being and to allow him to do whatever he wanted. So, Rein was not given any task from the sect.

But giving him no task to perform for more months would not send a good message to the other disciples. Rein knew this so he told Nangong Mei that he would also start taking missions from the sect.

Core disciples were allowed to not do any sect missions for four months and Rein was planning to be a good role model by not completely utilising the privilege that was given to him. Completing a mission was not hard or time consuming as there were various types of missions. So Rein was just going to do the ones that suited him.

...

So the next day Rein went to the mission pavilion and found an elder of the sect waiting for him there. This was also a special treatment that was given because of his identity as a lead core disciple. As this was Rein's first time taking a mission, this elder was going to help him in finding a mission that would match Rein's needs.

Rein did not deny the elders help and told him what kind of mission he wanted to do. He had been inside the sect for too long and Colinde also needed to move her body now and then to not lose her combat instincts. So Rein was planning to choose a combat related mission.

Rein himself wanted to try a few things out and having a real opponent with the intention of killing would be preferable for those tests. He was also training Lan a little bit in combat, so Rein wanted to see how well she would be able to perform in a real fight even though she did not have a combat related skill. And Colinde obviously needed combat to grow.

But Rein had no intention of taking on a mission to hunt demons. For other people, this type of missions would be the hardest but with Colinde with them for Rein's team, hunting demon was a very simple thing to do. Rein also wanted to see how well Colinde would be able to perform against opponents who would not give her an insane power buff.

The type of mission that Rein described was a very simple one. Most of the combat related missions were of this kind. After looking through the options he was given, Rein chose three missions. Two of them were combat related and the last one was an investigation mission. All three of these missions were from only one city and that was the reason why Rein chose all three of them.

After choosing the missions next Rein registered his team. He, Colinde and Lan were obviously a part of the team but with sect request Himiko and Mei would also be joining them for safety purposes. Rein was fine with this setting as he was not planning to do anything in secret during the mission.

...

After taking the missions Rein came back to the house and started to explain the mission to everyone. The first mission was very simple. A group of evil cultivators were hiding inside an abandoned fortress close to a city called Flowing Stream City.

The strongest among them was at the low level heavenly platform realm and there was also another person who was half step into making his heavenly platform. All the other ones were not even true cultivators. So this was supposed to be a very easy mission.

There was a chance that the information provided was wrong but even in that Himiko and Mei would be with Rein and both of them were almost done creating their divine castle. So the danger to Rein's life was not very high.

As for the second mission, it was also an extermination mission. There is a powerful great beast living close to that Flowing Stream City. This beast was calm since its birth but recently it had started to target the common population of the city. So it was decided that this beast would be exterminated.

The power of a great beast depended on its age. They were unable to cultivate like a human or a demon but with time the skill they possess would increase their basic stats. This beast had not been alive for too long so even with a very powerful skill, it should not be strong enough to match a heavenly platform realm cultivator.

Then the final mission was an investigation mission. There was a rumour that an ancient item had appeared in the city of Flowing Stream but before the sect could get more information about it, suddenly any news related to this certain item disappeared. So Rein needed to ask around for any information on this legendary item or to at least learn a little bit more about it.

It was actually a simple mission and the points he would be given depended on the quality of his information Rein would be able to gather. So even if Rein was unable to find anything important, he would still be able to at least finish the mission.

After he explained all these to the ladies, Colinde reacted by hugging Rein. She was very happy that she would be able to move her body again. Lan was a bit nervous but she was still looking forward to showing Rein how much she had learnt from him. Himiko and Mei were very calm as they had taken many of these types of missions before and were used to them.

With that it was decided that they would leave the sect early in the next day.
