The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Tasha again started to use her space magic to take a quick stroll of the place and Stella started to use her Eye of Clairvoyance to make a map of this place. Rein took on the duty to protect Stella as while she was focusing only on her Eye of Clairvoyance, her defence would be down.

So she needed a protector for those times.

Soon, the whole floor was mapped and Tasha also came back with some information. Rein created a barrier to hide themselves and they started a quick strategy meeting.

From the information that Tasha and Stella were able to gather, this floor was also overflowing with rank 1 monsters. There were some deer like monsters called Joukouas, several cat and tiger like monsters who hunted those Joukouas and other monsters.

But the most troublesome monster species living here were Inioaas which were large birds that roamed the sky of his place. All of them were rank 1.

Then there were three special monsters. A large rhino like monster called Rydon, a flaming lion called Iguina and a vulture called Kaestro. All three of these monsters were at the peak of rank 1.

There were not one but three teleportation formations for the third floor here and those three monsters were guarding it.

So to go to the next floor defeating only one of those three bosses should be enough, but from their past experience they felt like defeating all three of the bosses would probably get them some special prize. So as the task was not too troublesome, that decided to kill all of the bosses.

But first Stella used her spirit armament ability to make a bow of wind and fire element. Then she used ice and lightning elements together to create arrows with extreme destructive powers. Then she started to snipe the monsters from afar.

Stella not only killed the rank one monsters but also killed the rhino who was sleeping out in the open by sniping. That Rhino had high defence and resistance against elemental attacks. So Stella used a combination of four elements of fire, wind, lighting and earth to finally kill that monster.

She also tried to kill the vulture who was staying on a super large tree. The teleportation formation was also on the tree. But that bird had extremely good wild intuition and high speed, so it was able to somewhat dodge the arrows and did not take much damage from it.

So Tasha used her assassination skills to sneak up on it and killed it in one swift surprise attack.

Next Rein went to take care of the flaming lion who was staying inside a narrow cave, so Stella was not able to use her archery and that lion had a flaming zone around it which was used as a presence detector, so sneaking up on it was also hard.

The dungeon did not allow them to break the mountain to bury the look alive by making that indestructible. So Rein attacked it head on and defeated it after a one-sided battle.

Just as Rein had expected, a special secret realm opened up after defeating all three bosses. Rein had already guessed this to be the result as he was able to see that a secret realm was present on the second floor.

Even though the conquerors were able to take care of the bosses quite easily, all of them became more serious.

Even though those bosses were still just rank 1, all of them had very strong special abilities which were rare for even other stronger monsters.

The elemental resistance of the Rhino, extreme speed and intuition of the vulture and flaming domain and special flame of the lion were all extremely powerful special abilities.

Those monsters had the powers to even defeat some of the stronger transcendental monsters with elemental disadvantage. Like that would be able to defeat a transcendental monster called Syphulege who was weak to fire with his flaming domain and special fire.

So this dungeon was probably going to be even tougher than what they had expected.

...

The special secret realm of the second floor did not have any dangers inside it and was just filled with quite a few valuable plants and flowers. As alchemists, they were happy to get their hands on such high quality ingredients.

Then they went to the third floor using one of the teleportation formations.

After arriving at the third floor, the very first scene that Rein and his lovers saw was that of a large floating mountain. They were standing on a ring shaped platform surrounding the floating mountain.

Four roads went from the platform to the mountain. One took them at the very bottom of the mountain, another one to the middle part. The third road went just below the top of the mountain and the last one went straight to the very top.

Stella first observed the whole platform and found no monsters here. Rein also assured them that the platform was a safe zone after checking it with his Eye of Truth.

Next they started to scout the paths. Rein and Tasha went for the physical scouting and Stella observed them from a distance with her Eye of Clairvoyance.

After they were done with it all of them came back and reported their results. It was already uploaded in the network but having face to face talk about it was still better and that way they could also check if they had forgotten to mention something or not.

From the gathered information, the very first thing they found important was that they were unable to fly here. They were able to also judge that, four of the roads had different levels of difficulty.

The first road that led to the bottom of the mountain was the least dangerous one, with only a few rank 1 monsters. And the road that led straight to the top was most dangerous with 3 peak rank 1 monsters on it.

From the look of things, Rein guessed that the boss of this floor would definitely be a transcendental monster. If transcendental monsters started to appear from just the third floor, then the difficulty level of this dungeon was truly off the charts.

Now they needed to choose which road to take. But from the very beginning they only had a single option for this question, and that was to clear all the roads as fact wanted to get a perfect clear.

So the conquerors took a simple break, ate a little, took a nap, had six rounds of sex and then finally went toward the first road.
