Chapter 44: Ch 44: Eighth Floor (1)

After reminiscing about the past, Celestine fell asleep while putting her head on Rein's shoulder. After that incident, she trained under Rein and was able to control the summoning of that calamitic monstrosity after six months or so.

Actually the calamity that she summoned was not the strongest form of the calamity and was actually a weakened version. With enough time, that calamity would regain more and more powers, so Celestine also needed to train more and more if she wanted to still control it in the future.

That was why she was a perfect match for Mona as both of them had the needed determination and free time to train all day long in order to gain powers as fast as possible.

...

Then the next day Rein, Tasha and Stella bid goodbye to Mona and Celestine and went back to the city of Lentearia and decided to stay here for the time being. The next item on their agenda was clearing the hard dungeon they were facing.

This dungeon had a total of 18 floors and they had only managed to clear 7 of them so far. So they were not even halfway through it.

All the members of The Conquerors took out their tokens and teleported to the eighth floor of the dungeon immediately. After teleporting, they found themselves in the middle of the vast desert.

But this desert was filled with yellow sand like a normal one, but the sand making up this place was pitch black.

There was also a vast sky over them but unlike the normal sky, it had no stars or anything else and was completely dark. So, the whole floor was covered in darkness and it was very hard to see anything here.

Rein, Tasha and Stella all had eyes that could see perfectly in the dark. This was a very basic thing most individuals were able to do after reaching a certain level of power. So this darkness was not supposed to be anything problematic for them.

But for some weird reason all three of them were having trouble with the darkness here. Rein judged that the rule of the dungeon was probably responsible for this. But when he used her eye of Truth and Stella used her Eye of Clairvoyance, they were able to see everything properly again.

So, even though the rule of this floor restricted regular vision, abilities related to vision were not affected and were a perfect counter.

So, only Tasha still had a limited vision here and with Rein and Stella continuously updating the network about the location, she was very much capable of shrugging it off.

Rein took on four of those blue grade commanders and Tasha and Stella took on three each. Very soon they started to kill them one by one.

When Stella killed the fifth commander with her spirit arrow, a loud roar came from the centre of the village. Then the large house present in the middle was broken and an extremely large 12 meter tall lizardman came out from it.

This lizardman was very bulky and filled with muscles. Its body was also filled with spikes and horns. It looked more like a bipedal dragon than a mere lizardman. The power emanating from its body was also immense.

The five remaining lizardman commanders grouped up with their chief and the first attack that the chief made was a full powered dragon breath of the darkness element. Rein used a light elemental barrier to nullify this attack.

As soon as the lizardman chief joined the battle, the conquerors had to slow down their rate of destruction. But that was all. The lizardmen were still getting destroyed and were not giving Rein's group any troubles.

Rein started to fight with the lizardman chief and focused only on him. While he was doing so, his beloved lovers were taking care of all other opponents.

Very soon, Rein had cornered the lizardman chief. He then used "Sword King Art: End Horizon" to cut off the chief's head. At that exact moment, Tasha also used her "Dagger King Art: Blink Severance" to decapitate all the remaining lizardmen in front of her.

Stella was also not be outdone and used "Bow King Art: Rain of Arrows" to wipe out all the lizardmen of this village. With that this lizardman village was completely destroyed.

All the three of the conquerors showed off their weapon mastery while winning the battle. Then they started to search the village for any valuables.

After thoroughly looting the village, Rein, Tasha and Stella left it happily. The amount of loot they were able to find was insane and they were very happy about it.

Not only that, but Tasha was able to find a map that indicated that two more villages were present in this desert with the same power level. So they would be able to get such good loot two more times.

They were also able to find a triangular shard and after analysing it with his Eye of Truth, Rein was able to find that they needed two more such shards in order to get the access to the next floor, which he was sure they would be able to find in the next two villages.

So their journey continues on the eighth floor.
