The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 70: Ch 70: Sleeping Gods

After clearing the Moon Viewing Lake area, the conquerors were able to open part of the restrictions on a high level difficulty area called "Yueming Wasteland". Only after clearing all three of the mid level difficulty areas related to the Garden of Flower would this area be completely open to them.

So, next the conquerors went straight to the "Blazing Golden Desert" area. Just as the name implied, this place was sand made of golden dust particles. This place had no other monsters here other than golem. The power level of a golem was dependent on their size.

The smaller ones were rank 4 and the bigger ones were rank 3. The biggest golem was at the peak of rank 3 and that was the boss of this area.

These golems were metal golems made off of the same metal that the dust particles were. Even though it looked like gold, actually it was something more valuable. This unknown metal that looked just like gold had a high mana conductivity and was also quite light.

So it was ideal for making many types of armours and weapons. These metals did not have a particular name but the blacksmiths of the city called it "Blazing Deity Gold" in accordance with its origin.

Finding these golems to be a good way to earn cash and also to be interesting test subjects, Stella and Tasha immediately started to kill and store them. Rein instead found a very interesting mechanism with his Eye of Truth in this area and was trying to interact with it.

Just as Stella and Tasha defeated the boss of this floor, the peak rank 3 golem, Rein was finally able to activate the mechanism. Now there was currently no one in this area other than the conquerors. This was the condition that needed to be met to activate the mechanism which Rein was able to find.

As soon as the mechanism was activated, the whole desert shook. It was like a sudden earthquake. Then a loud roar reverberated throughout this area. After that roar was heard, the desert started to shake even more.

The golden sand started to gather in one point of the desert and was creating some sort of figure.

Soon a head-like structure appeared in the desert, but this head was like a tall hill. Then two eyes shining with white lights also opened in that head. After that the head started to fly up while the golden sand was trying to create the rest of the body part of this head.

As Rein, Stella, Tasha and sword-form Kagura watched it, a giant over 500 meters tall appeared in this area. It then let out that loud roar once again after fully constructing its body. Immediately a piece of information appeared in everyone's mind.

[Name: Mylinus

Race: Titan God of Victorious Desert

Rank: God

Description: Due to the disturbance in his realm, the sleeping god of Titans woke up and is angry. This whole area is his body and the previous golems were created by his subconscious leaking of divine power.

Defeat the mighty god to her amazing rewards and kill the mighty god to get even better rewards.]

Seeing this information Rein and his group immediately understood that the name of this dungeon was not just for show. In this dungeon, gods were truly sleeping and might even wake up if provoked. This was very interesting and exciting.

"From what look of it, I think this dungeon had its own way of ranking the powerhouses above the normal ranks. This Titan's power level of god is roughly equivalent to the indigo grade transcendental rank in my own power system."

Hearing Rein saying it, both Tasha and Stella nodded their heads. Kagura had nothing to say as currently she was enjoying serving as Rein's sword. So if not asked anything, she usually did not speak much.

This titan god was not really a problem for Rein and his lovers with its power level of just of indigo rank, but it did make them very interested to find out what other gods were sleeping in this dungeon. So, they were capable of easily defeating it. But killing it was a whole different story.

As it was mentioned in the description, this whole desert was the body of this titan god. Just destroying its current body was enough to count as a defeat and Rein's team would be able to get the reward, but killing it was way more troublesome.

This titan could reform its body over and over again using the almost unlimited amount of sand present in this desert.

So, to truly kill it, they either needed to use some special methods, or needed to destroy this whole desert all together and both of those methods were not easy to pull off. But Rein had a perfect solution in his mind for this problem.

Rein caressed his beloved sword Kagura and told her in a gentle voice -

"Kagura, activate Spiritual Destruction."

Immediately Kagura's sword body got covered by a hazy white light and Rein swung his sword just once performing his Sword King Art: End Horizon. Immediately the rampaging Titan froze mid motion and it then disintegrated and turned into dust. The Titan God of Victorious Desert, Mylinus was dead.

...

After clearing the Blazing Golden Desert, the conquerors returned back to the city. Their next target was the "Forest of Nightmare" but before challenging it, Rein and his party were going to take a break for a day or two.

Rein was sure that the Moon Viewing Lake area did not have a god sleeping but the Blazing Golden Desert had one. Rein was not sure if the next area called the "Forest of Nightmare" would have one or not.

After having an enjoyable night, the next day Stella, Tasha, Rein and Kagura all got ready to visit the city a little bit. But they were not going together. They each had some different places in mind and they were also going to meet up with each other at lunchtime.

Rein and Kagura were going on a date. Kagura had never really had a chance to go on a solo date with Rein after she became a sword, so Rein wanted to take her for once.

As for Stella, she was going to the library of this city and also the book stores to see the collection of books and knowledge that this country had to offer.

And Tasha was just going to visit the black market of this city to see the price of items and the overall prosperity of the criminal side of this city.

Then in the lunchtime, all of them were going to meet back up and would go to the adventure guild together to sell some of the materials that they had collected from the two areas with mid level difficulty. This was their plan for the time being.

After leaving the inn they parted ways. Stella went toward the library and Tasha went toward the secluded part of the city where the slum area was located. The entrance to the hidden black market was located somewhere around there.

Rein and Kagura went to the commercial district where most of the shops of this city were located to enjoy their first date.

In a very luxurious room, an old aged man was sitting on a very expensive looking chair and was working on some papers. Suddenly someone knocked on the door of his room and the old man gave that person permission to enter.

Who entered the room had his whole body except the eyes completely covered in back clothes. His movements were very well practiced and this black clad man kneeled respectfully before the old man and said -

"Master, the new mithril rank team had managed to unlock all the mid level areas in just a single day. And from the brief glimpse of their fighting that I was able to see, I think that the girls accompanying the man were quite strong, probably even stronger than the man himself."

Hearing that a look of interest appeared on the old man's face. He thought about this new revelation for some time and then asked -

"So, what do you think that man's power level to be ?"

"Master, I believe that this man himself is not very powerful but he had a hunger for achievement. So he most likely used the achievements of those two ladies to get to the mithril rank.

But as he was able to pass the ascension test, I believe he either had some powerful magic item or his own strength was at least not too bad."

"Hmm, id that is the case then I think instead of trying to recruit the man, it will be better if we target the women. Lakan, continue watching over the group and tell your ninjas to find out about the reason why those strong women would be assisting this man. Now, go."

"As they wish, Master Horikawa."

Then the man disappeared from the room and the old man also went back to look at his papers with a slight smile on his face. He had the confidence that everything was going according to whatever his wish was.
