The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 49: Ch 49: Eleventh Floor (1)

After teleporting to the eleventh floor, the conquerors found themselves in the middle of an arena. Then they got the mental message about how this floor was going to work.

Here they needed to fight challengers in the arena in one on one battle. Who would fight against whom would be chosen in a random order and the battle would be life and death battles. So to win it, one needed to kill the opponent.

It was possible that a single person would be chosen continuously if Rein's group's luck was bad and as it was a one on one battle, nobody would be able to assist the chosen person.

But as this was ultimately a fighting tournament, none of them were worried. They might not be very good in the field of war strategy, but when it came to fighting, all of them were confident in their capabilities to defeat any kind of opponents.

That knew that the dungeon master was most probably going to choose hard matchups and counter opponents for the conquerors. But even then they had many Trump Cards and they were also sure to not lose against any kind of opponents, no matter how strong or how disadvantageous.

...

Rein's group needed five consecutive victories to get five battle fragments and then they needed to challenge the special boss where one of them would face off against an opponent with a penalty attached.

After defeating this opponent they would get the divine combiner and would be able to use that to combine the battle fragments to make a battle pass which would be their tickets to the next floor.

The first one chosen for the fight was Tasha. After she went on the stage, a 3 meter tall armour appeared opposite her. It was a knight clad in shining silver armour and was holding a broad sword the same height as him.

Using his Eye of Truth, Rein found out more information about this monster. It was called Radiant Armoured Knight Lord. It was an extremely rare monster with very high weapon mastery and arts. Not only that but it was also immune to poison and very resistant to the dark element.

So, all in all it was a very bad opponent of Tasha.

Before the start of the battle the armoured knight lord greeted Tasha with a bow and then readied his weapon. Tasha also bowed back in greeting and got ready too. The one to start the match was the armoured knight lord and he did it with a sword art.

"Sword King Art: Sky Shatterer"

That attack looked like it hit Tasha straight and the area where she was standing got covered in dust. It was a top tier green grade monster who specialised in attack power, so his attack was extremely strong.

For that to just damage the arena a little bit, this arena was definitely made of something special.

When the dust cleared, Tasha was nowhere to be found. It almost looked like she got annihilated by that last attack, but that was obviously not the case. Very soon she appeared behind the armoured knight lord and tried to pierce the neck joint.

But the knight king had a special intuition based skill which allowed it to predict her attack and it immediately defended it. But as Rein had already told Tasha in the network that he had an intuition based skill, she had actually expected him to predict this attack of her.

But what was actually attacking the knight lord was not Tasha but just a very well made clone of hers. The real Tasha suddenly appeared in front of the knight lord.

But when it tried to defend against the attack, it had already turned behind, so Tasha currently had the neck of this monster right in front of her.

Having such a clear view of the neck if she did not cut it then she would not be one of the greatest assassins of this world. But the knight king was also not to be underestimated and it was able to move a little bit to prevent Tasha from completely cutting off its head.

But before he could attack back the knight lord found itself with the status effect of being poisoned. This surprised him so much that it completely stopped moving for a second and Tasha was not someone who would miss such an obvious opening.

She teleported to the knight lord again and slashed at him. As the knight lord was distracted it was not able to perfectly dodge and got a cut on the chest plate but it was a minor cut.

But again to the surprise of the knight lord, it found itself with another status effect called bleeding. The knight lord was actually just a piece of armour so it really had no blood to bleed. Then how could it get the bleeding status.

That was because of the twin divine daggers that Tasha is using. One could give the poisoned status to anything even to inanimate objects and another one could give the bleeding status to everything in the world.

This combo of status would deal continuous damage for the duration of the status and the enemy would die when its life ran out. It was Tasha's go to and very successful strategy to kill anything that she could not one shot with her assassination.

Very soon, the Radiant Armoured Knight Lord was down for the count after losing all its health and Tasha got the first battle fragment for the conquerors.

The next to go on the arena was Rein and his opponent was a large snake with even larger wings on its back. It looked very weird and very majestic at the same time.

The snake itself was about 8 or 9 meters long, which was actually quite tame for snake monsters, but the pure white wings on its back had a wingspan of over 100 meters, which was really very absurd.

This was not really a monster who had any particular advantage against Rein. Actually the dungeon master was unable to find anything that could be a reliable counter for him so he just randomly chose his opponent.

Obviously he could not just give him a weak opponent after giving Tasha a strong one, so this monster was also a peak tier green grade transcendental monster who could control both the wind and the light elements to a high degree.

This monster started the battle by summoning a shining white gust which was making everything to disintegrate as soon as it touched the wind. This was an AOE attack covering the whole arena so Rein could not dodge this attack as living the stage could count as a loss.

But he did not really need to dodge it. To counter it he just simply created a light barrier. This barrier was also getting corroded by this attack so it was slowly getting worn out. But at the same time it was also regenerating so all in all the disintegration wind was not doing any damage to it.

Next, Rein used the light magic again to create various kinds of weapons like swords, halberds, spears and more. Then all those weapons moved toward the snake to attack it.

With its large body, it was hard for it to dodge so many weapons and very soon it was skewered by hundred of weapons and died soon afterwards. Rein was able to get the second battle fragment quite easily.
