The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 22: Ch 22: Sixth Floor

The conquerors started to methodically search the island using various abilities and magics. What they noticed was that, every monster found here on this island were transcendental ones.

They did not forget to observe and search the sea too and found out that the sea was more dangerous than the main island. As for the way to the next floor. After completing the search of the whole island for a few days, they found it in the very middle of this island.

In the centre of the island, there was a dilapidated temple. That temple was guarded by templars made of stone, but it was not any normal stone but an unknown stone which was extremely durable.

All those templars were blue grade transcendental individuals which was quite broken, but they were obviously not the boss of this. Inside the temple there was a statue of an angle like being.

Rein had an angle as his lover so he was sure that the being whose statue was there was not an angle but something very similar.

As that statue was currently inactive, Rein was not able to judge its power level but it was definitely at least peak blue grade or even green.

For the last few days, the conquerors focused mainly on scouting the island and the sea so they did not participate in many battles. But now that their search was almost over, they now began to eliminate the monsters living here.

Not only the monsters of the island but they also started to clear out the sea. As the sea had many monsters there, Rein judged that it must have valuable treasures hidden inside.

His hypothesis was correct and the sea had many rare and natural artifacts. Interestingly there were a lot of sunken ships there which was very unnatural as this place was the inside of a dungeon and not a part of the outside world.

But the treasures they found on those ships were very valuable even for Rein's group and they were very happy about it.

But Rein was most happy about the fact that they got the chance to kill a lot of sea monsters. That means he would be able to cook a lot of tasty dishes with them. One of his lovers who lived in a landlocked nation for the majority of her life loved sea food. So Rein often took her to seaside places.

But she was quite a busy person and could not stay there for long. So Rein could give her these extremely high quality sea products to cheer her up.

After one more day of non stop hunting, the conquerors were able to clean up the whole island except the central dilapidated temple. Now it was finally time for them to challenge the final destination of this floor.

...

As soon as the conquerors stepped foot in the vicinity of the temple, all the templars immediately noticed them and came to attack. There was something in this area that detected the presence of anyone coming here and notified the templars about it.

That meant doing a sneak attack on this place was impossible.

So the conquerors stopped hiding and attacked from the very front. The numbers of the templars were not too much so it did not take much time to defeat all of them.

Most of the templars were holding close quarters combat weapons like swords or spears. Very few had long range weapons like a bow. And they only had a single magic caster.

Tasha targeted the magic caster and killed him very quickly by using dark elemental teleportation magic and closing the distance between them immediately. Stella also targeted the templar archers and had a short duel with them with her bow. She was able to kill them off one by one quite quickly.

In the meantime Rein was holding off 25 other templars. When Tasha returned after finishing her target, Rein had already killed 5 of them. Tasha immediately stated to assist him.

So when Stella finally joined them after winning her archery duel, only 4 were still alive. She immediately used various elemental spells to quickly kill them and cleared the outer portion of the temple. Then that went to enter it.

As soon as that walked through the broken gate of this temple, the eyes of the whole statue lit up with an eerie red light. Soon the statue that looked a bit white turned completely black and a scythe-like weapon appeared in its hand.

Immediately all the conquerors got ready for a battle. The statue started its attacks by swinging the scythe and a large slash of energy came toward them. Rein slashed at that slash of energy and destroyed it.

The black wings behind the statue's back then started to release feathers and those feathers hardened and came toward Rein's group. Everyone used their own methods to defend against the feather.

Rein just went straight to the statue disregarding all the feathers. His body got various little injuries because of them but they also immediately healed. With his perfect body and light magic Rein really did not care about attacks that could not immediately kill him.

Stella just used her spirit armament special ability and created an armour made of earth element to cover herself. This armour had really strong defensive capabilities and whatever damage it took were all healed by the light spirit that had transformed into a tiara.

Tasha on the other hand did not defend against the feathers instead she used her dark magic and insane agility, perception and instincts to dodge every one of them. She was also closing the distance between herself and the statue while trying to hide her presence somehow.

Rein quickly reached the statue and they started to clash their weapons against each other. As scythe was a large weapon, that statue was quite slow in swinging it and its techniques were also nothing to write home about. So Rein was having an extremely easy time dominating it.

Stella cooperated perfectly with Rein and launched arrows toward the statue and Rein knew her so perfectly that he was able to give them a cover and moved away just at the right moment. As a yandere, he knew everything about Stella, even the habits she might not know.

So, it sounded hard but was actually a very easy thing to do for Rein.

The statue was getting more and more damaged. Just as it lost one of its arms with a swing of Rein's sword, the red eyes of the statue suddenly glowed and two beams of light were sent toward Rein and Stella that caught them off guard.

Rein got a bit of damage but was healed immediately afterwards just like before. Actually that attack was supposed to have a curse that made it hard for someone to heal, but Rein was immune to curses so it did not work on him.

As for Stella, her earth spirit armour did take a lot of damage and the light spirit would need some time to heal it, but Stella was completely safe.

When the statue shot the beam out of its eyes, it was unable to see anything for a moment. That was the exact moment when Tasha used all of her stealth abilities to hide herself and went close to the statue.

Just as it was able to see again, it found one dagger targeting its chest area and another one toward its head.

Seeing this obviously it tried to somehow block those attacks by sacrificing other body parts like its hands but soon found golden chains binding it. So, it was unable to defend against that attack and was killed. The boss of the sixth floor was defeated.

On the platform where the statue was standing, three balls of light appeared. Rein, Tasha and Stella immediately understood what to do with it as the dungeon sent a mental message to them. They touched those balls of white light with their tokens and they got the permission to enter the seventh floor.
