The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 236: Ch 236: Tournament or Honeymoon

The World Blessed Championship was a grand tournament that happened once every ten years. This was a very big deal and billions of people went to watch it. This tournament included not only the UR grade Blesseds but also other lower grade ones too. They were all divided into divisions and would compete to become the best in their own division.

Even lower grade Blessed have a chance to become world famous if they managed to rank high in their division. So many people paid attention to it. But obviously the most exciting were the battles between the UR grade Blesseds as that was the demonstration of the top level powers that the human race had.

The prize pool for this tournament was also extremely high. The 1st ranker would be getting a total of 100 billion Galos. Galos was the currency used by one of the most powerful countries of this world and 1 Galos was equal to 2.33 Ous. So even for UR grade powerhouses, it was a lot of money.

Sophia had participated in the previous World Blessed Championship but was not able to advance to the main rounds. Among tens of thousands of UR grades who were participating in the tournament, only 64 were able to advance to the next stage.

Sophia's fighting style was like an assassin so she was not very good in frontal combat like what happened in the tournament. That was the reason why despite being quite strong, Sophia was only able to reach the 137th rank in the tournament and failed to qualify for the main rounds.

But it was still the best ranking that any blessed from Maltria had ever managed to get so Sophia was still praised a lot for getting this high of a ranking at such a young age.

This year, Sophia wanted Rein to participate in the tournament. Rein had told her that there was some kind of powerful monster living at the core of the world and he was searching for a way to defeat it. From how he sounded, this monster was definitely very strong and she and Rein alone probably would not be able to defeat it. So they needed the help of other UR grade powerhouses.

If Rein managed to get an extremely good ranking in the World Championship while he was just 13 years old, then that would be insane and many UR grade blessed people might want to join him. But this would also put a big target on Rein's back but still Sophia was advising Rein to do it.

The main reason for that was because, Rein had gotten incredibly powerful. So his chance of getting assassinated by another person was extremely low. So now if Rein came out and revealed his powers, he would not be in too much danger as he was powerful enough.

Obviously Sophia was also planning to participate. Last time, she did not manage to reach the top 64 and was quite disappointed. In the last ten years after spending so much time with Rein, her powers had grown significantly. This time Sophia was confident that she would very easily be able to reach the top 64 so her target this time was different. She now wanted to win the whole championship.

If she managed to do that, Rein would definitely be more impressed by her. Just imagining that scene made her happy.

Sophia then remembered what they did last night and became embarrassed. But at the same time, she was extremely happy. At first when they started to live together, Rein was just a young boy so she was thinking of him as a brother. But in almost no time, Rein went from being a little brother to being a friend.

But that was not the end as in a few more years he became almost like a big brother by the way he was always helping Sophia out and was advising her about many things. In that long decade, almost unknowingly Sophia had fallen in love with Rein. Sophia was extremely happy and relieved when Rein decided and accept her love. Thinking about these happy thoughts Sophia fell asleep again.

...

The next morning, Sophia told Rein about what she was thinking and after mulling over it for some time, Rein decided to take part in the tournament. He had managed to get past the phase when he was at his weakest and now he had the strength to protect himself. So Rein was fine with revealing his strength now as he had the ability to protect himself.

There was an online registration form that a certified UR grade Blessed was able to fill and register themselves for the tournament. Sophia sat on Rein's lap while filling this form. There were no restrictions related to the age of a participant so everything went well and they were done filling the form in no time.

The competition this time was going to happen in a country called Alpatara Union. Three nations had signed a treaty just a few decades ago and had created this new nation by combining their lands together. They had been making very good progress in recent years and after a lot of negotiations, they had managed to get this chance of hosting the biggest tournament of this world in their capital city.

There was still a month left for the tournament to start but Rein and Sophia decided to immediately go there. They were planning to enjoy a honeymoon there and Rein was even planning to marry Sophia after this tournament. Yes, as a full fledged adult, Rein was now able to marry the person that he loved.

So they immediately went to their private jet and left for Alpatara Union. The World Blessed Championship was going to take place in the city of Konta which was their capital. But Rein and Sophia decided to go to the city of Hanava. Konta was a large city and one of the leading tech cities of this world. But Rein and Sophia did not want to spend their honeymoon surrounded by machines everywhere.

That was why they decided on Hanava which was a coastal city with a wield famous beach. That is definitely going to be extremely fun and relaxing. Perfect before their matches in the world championships. Obviously super VIPs like Rein and Sophia were not going to stay on the public beach.

Sophia had used her connection to book a private villa in this city. There was also a private beach attached to it. So this honeymoon was turning out to be extremely grand. These two lovebirds were definitely going to have lots of fun here.

So a very fun and exciting tournament was just about to begin.
