The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 62: Ch 62: Kagura (1)

After taking and analysing all the main rewards Rein, Tasha and Stella returned back to the dungeon master's dimension to check on Lucia's progress. She told them that the whole process was going more smoothly than expected and there was nothing to worry about.

Rein just reminded her to not let her guard down and set up a portable house in this dimension.

Inside the house, the three of them were talking about their recent gains. This dungeon taking over process was going to take some more time and the conquerors were going to stay here for that duration to protect Lucia from any unforeseen circumstances.

But instead of doing nothing and just sitting around, they decided to utilise the accelerated time here to harvest the gains from this dungeon. All three of them had things they needed to do.

Stella was going to learn the skill "Mind Acceleration" and she needed to get used to the feeling of her mind always having more time than normal. It might feel a bit weird at first but Stella just needed enough time to get used to it.

But for Tasha, it was a bit more difficult. She was going to use the "Concept Empowerment Pendant" to boost the concealment ability of her Black Dark magic. So she needed to practice and develop new spells for herself. That was also going to be a process which would take a long time.

And Rein was going to have the easiest time, he just needed to advance his sword, so he actually did not need to do anything. Rein just needed to put the "Ultimate Ascension Seed" on his sword and the next process would be automatic.

...

All three of them used their rewards at the same time. Stella absorbed the skill scroll, Tasha put on the necklace and Rein out the seed on his sword.

As soon as Stella used the skill scroll, her eyes turned a bit blurry. It looked like she was in some kind of a daze. For Rein, his mind acceleration was not instantaneous but was a gradual process happened with the growth of his ability. So he was never caught off guard and did not feel uncomfortable.

But it was different for Stella. Her mind became faster in an instance and she suddenly found everything for her to be very slow. If Stella actually tried to talk, she would talk very fast and she might even hurt her mind.

She needed to separate a part of her consciousness to be in the normal time to talk properly.

As for Tasha, after equipping the item, nothing special happened. But when she tried to activate her previous few magic spells related to stealth, she found them to be exceedingly easy to use. Those spells effectiveness was also higher than normal.

She felt like now she would be able to perform way better magic spells to hide herself.

Lastly Rein's sword just lit up in a rainbow coloured light and a light screen appeared before him. What was written on the light screen was -

[Your Sword could now advance to the Eternal Grade. After being nourished by your mana for a long time this sword had unlocked various advancement paths. It has 9 options for those advancement Paths. Please choose one.

Option 1: Eternal Glorious Sword of Victory

Option 2: Eternal Slaughter Sword

Option 3: Eternal Sword of Destruction

Option 4: Eternal Sword of Judgement

Option 5: Eternal Holy Radiant Sword

Option 6: Champion's Sword

Option 8: Ultimate Spirit Sword

Option 9: Absolute Sword

Please consider carefully]

Rein and never expected this. He had thought that something like this would happen. He was a big stunned but soon snapped out of it and started to check the options. He soon found out that names were not the only information he was given and all the names had a description attached to it.

So he quickly started to check all of them.

Eternal Glorious Sword of Victory: A good aligned holy sword that will accompany its holder to victory. The more victory the holder could achieve the better this sword will perform for him.

Eternal Slaughter Sword: An evil aligned demonic sword. It will grow stronger and stronger as the holder kills more and more people. Killing innocents will have a better strengthening effect.

Eternal Sword of Destruction: A sword that can boost the power of destruction law over the limit. It is an extremely powerful sword with the ability to annihilate everything.

Eternal Sword of Judgement: A special sword that can do extra damage to anyone or anything whom the holder has judged to be criminal in his opinion. It tends to lean towards the side of justice most of the time..

Eternal Holy Radiant Sword: A special sword that could strengthen the light element to the maximum possible threshold. It is a righteous sword that can cut through anything evil.

Champion's Sword: A sword for the champion. As long as the holder of the sword remains undefeated and invincible without losing or running away from anyone, this world will stay with him and make his stronger. But as soon as the holder tastes defeat, it will disappear.

Ultimate Spirit Sword: A sword that has turned into a full fledged living being. It is a sword with not just its own mind and thinking but also its own living body. The power of this sword depended on the relationship between the sword and the owner.

The closer the relationship between them, the stronger the sword will be.

Absolute Sword: A sword with the sharpest cutting edge in the world. Nothing could stop it while it is trying to cut something. It is able to cut through even time and space.

These were all the descriptions of the swords. After reading them, Rein found Eternal Sword of Destruction, Eternal Holy Radiant Sword, Champion's Sword, Ultimate Spirit Sword and Absolute Sword to be interesting. The other four were not something he wanted to use so he rejected them.

Among the five options, after thinking about it for a long time, he found Ultimate Spirit Sword to be his favourite option. Absolute Sword was also great, but he valued the aspect of making his sword a living being very pleasant.

As for Champion's Sword, it was restrictive and he found that option to be quite unpleasant. Eternal Sword of Destruction was a very close third choice but the idea of Ultimate Spirit Sword was just too amazing for Rein.

And the same way, as Eternal Holy Radiant Sword only boosted light magic, it was also restrictive.

After making up his mind, Rein confidently chose the 8th option, Ultimate Spirit Sword. The screen asked him to confirm again and Rein immediately did that without any hesitation. Another screen appeared before him this time asking him to name the new sword.

The previous name of this divine sword would be erased and it would be reborn as a completely new unique sword.

As soon as Rein chose the name, the Rainbow coloured light surrounding the sword became even more bright. Tasha and Stella also looked toward it with anticipation. It was a very rare event. An Eternal grade item was going to be born which was actually even stronger than a divine item.

It was a once in a lifetime event. Even almost all of Rein's other lovers were also watching it in a network livestream.

As all three of the conquerors looked at the light with anticipation, it suddenly disappeared and in its place a young girl appeared. She looked like a 13 or 14 year old girl and looked like a very cute doll.

Her face was expressionless but her round, big and rainbow coloured eyes were expressing a lot of emotions.

Her hair was short and reached only up to her shoulder and it was glossy black. She was also not naked and was wearing a red kimono with golden little swords drawn on it. The back of the kimono also had a badass looking sword design.

After seeing Rein she sat down on her both knees in seiza style and gave him a traditional bow. Then she spoke for the first time.

"Greetings beloved master. This Kagura is extremely glad to get a chance to finally talk with you. Thank you very much for always taking care of me and for giving me this amazing name."

Yes, it was Rein's sword who had taken on a humanoid form after its ascension. Rein had named it "Kagura" based on a festive sword dance performed in some nations to bring good luck. And Rein was glad to know that she was happy with the name.

He immediately asked Kagura to stand up and give her a hug. Kagura was not like a newborn but instead she remembered everything that she and Rein went through together as a divine sword. So already the bond between her and Rein was solid and both of them were able to feel it.

Especially Kagura, as Rein's love for even his weapon was vast and twisted.

"Welcome Kagura. Glad to have you on board."

Just like that, the Ultimate Spirit Sword, Kagura joined the family.
