Chapter 69: Ch 69: Challenging the Deity's Resting Ground

The Garden of Flower was a large area filled with various kinds of flowers just as the name implied. This place did not have any strong monsters just like the other starting area and the strongest monster found here was at most in the 7th grade.

But most of the monsters found here were plant types so they were weak to various kinds of attacks. Not only that but those monsters also provided expensive ingredients for the low level adventurers. So among the four starting areas, this Garden of Flower was definitely the most famous one.

Rein's party had no intention to waste time here. So just after enjoying the view of the flower beds for a few moments, they immediately took action and started to clear a path toward one of the three areas with mid level of difficulty.

There was a tradition in this dungeon. Whenever a powerful party needed to go through a weaker area, they left the killed monsters behind without collecting their loot. Instead, the lucky low level adventurers staying in that area for that day would have a windfall because of the loots.

Most of the stronger adventurer teams did this as those low level loots were useless to them and dismantling and collecting them was a waste of time. It also gave them a good reputation if they were able to give the low level adventurers a great payday.

Rein had no reason to not follow this tradition. He really did not care at all for the material of such weak monsters. So all three members of the conquerors went on a rampage, killing one monster after another.

When they left this starting area, they left behind a mountain of monster corpses. All the low level adventurers who were in the Garden of Flower area cheered loudly and the name of the new team "The Conquerors" became extremely famous in the city of Kentau.

...

After crossing the Garden of Flower, next the conquerors found themselves in a mid level difficulty area called the "Moon Viewing Lake". In this area, there was a huge lake which was surrounded by grasslands on all four sides.

This area had both aquatic monsters and beast type monsters living in the grassland. But still as this area only had rank 4 and rank 3 monsters, it was not a big deal for them. But for all the other high ranking parties of the city, this was their main activity zone.

This area was not going to be as first as the previous was. That was mainly because this area was extremely large. So even though the monsters possessed no threat to them, it will take some time to clear this place. So, decided to first add all the other areas to their teleportation destination first.

To do that, they first went back to the Garden of Flower and from there they went toward a different direction to a different area with mid level difficulty. Just like that they were able to get the remaining two areas called the "Blazing Golden Desert" and "Forest of Nightmare".

Then they left the dungeon.

All in all, the name of the conquerors spread quite a lot in just a single night.

The next day, they again entered the dungeon. Today they planned to clear one of the areas with mid level difficulty. The area that they were going to challenge was also the first area that they reached, the Moon Viewing Lake.

They were planning to investigate the whole floor thoroughly, so it was going to be a time consuming process once again.

The conquerors started to use their go-to tactic of using Stella and Rein's eye abilities to scout and Tasha did the physical scouting by hiding her presence. This way if any one of them missed anything, the other two would be able to compensate for that.

This area was quite interesting and had a proper ecosystem. The grassland had both herbivorous and carnivorous monsters with a proper food chain. The lake had a completely different ecosystem too, consisting of fishes of various sizes. It was a very well thought out area.

From the mid level difficulty areas, one needed to defeat the area bosses to advance to the next areas. So Rein's group needed to find and defeat the area boss to clear this area.

This area "Moon Viewing Lake" had a total of two bosses. One ruled over the grassland and another one ruled the lake.

The boss who ruled over the grassland was a super large bison with extremely powerful defence. It was also a large and heavy beast who liked to ram into its enemies to smash them to death. It was a powerful high grade rank 3 beast and even the best adventurer teams were unwilling to take it head on.

And the boss ruling the lake was a huge catfish. It was the largest fish of this lake and was also a high grade rank 3 monster. It was even more troublesome to defeat as inside water this fish was always in its best condition.

So in the knowledge of the adventure guild, this boss monster had never been defeated before. As defeating just one of the two bosses was enough to advance to the next area, no one bothered to challenge the tougher boss.

But now finally this boss was also going to be defeated. For the bison boss, when it was charging toward Rein's group, Stella tried a new spell on it. She used an earth elemental spell to create a hand-like structure made of rock.

Then she smashed the running monster with the rock hand and easily killed it. This was not a particularly impressive spell but just partial use of a golem creation spell.

As for the catfish boss, Tasha just poured some of her potent poison inside the lake and immediately all the monsters living in the lake, including the catfish boss monster died because of it. Just like that the "Moon Viewing Lake" area was cleared with both of the bosses defeated for the first time.
