The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

But obviously that was impossible to do as this beach, the sea in front and the forest behind was filled with monsters. Adventurers needed to be very careful in this area or they might be ambushed. Even though those monsters were not a trouble for the conquerors, they still maintained their cautious attitude.

Rein was able to judge that this area did not have a sleeping god. He was not disappointed as he had already expected the sleeping god to be in the desolate temple area. So they decided to quickly investigate this floor and to defeat the boss.

The ingredient "Sea God\'s Heart" that the conquerors were trying to find could only be found after defeating the boss of this place so that made their objective to be easier as they did not need to search for the ingredient.

Immediately all four members started to investigate the whole area including the sea. This area had various different types of monsters to it as not a very good floor people who specialised in a single way. The beach had crab-like monsters who were able to hide in the sand and coconut tree like monsters capable of doing long range attacks.

Still this beach was the zone with the least amount of monsters in this area.

The forest had various kinds of animals who were good at using the forest terrain to their advantage to have gorilla warfare. This floor had two bosses and one of them lived in the forest. It was a giant ape with a golden tiara and a golden staff as his weapon. It was quite a powerful rank 3 boss and no other mithril ranker had managed to defeat it.

The only person who had defeated this boss as an adamantine rank adventurer. That\'s how powerful this boss was.

Obviously Stella defeated it easily while investigating the forest but it was not their main objective this time. Their main objective was the second boss who lived in the sea. It was a sea monster with tentacles but it was not an octopus or squid. That was because this monster had three heads and one hundred and eight tentacles.

It was not bad for a mithril rank boss but it\'s attack power was quite low. The main strength of this monster was its vitality and regeneration ability. So if an adventurer team boosted their attack power to the limit and had a battle of attrition with this monster, then it was very much possible for them to defeat it.

As for Rein, he was able to kill it with his new Sword King Art called "Infinite Slash" that Anna had taught him. That\'s how he was able to get the sea god\'s heart easily.

But they did not leave the floor immediately and only came out when the exploration rate of this area reached one hundred percent for them. After coming out of the dungeon, they handed the sea god\'s heart to the little girl who was waiting for them and she happily went to the Alchemist who would be able to save her mother.

Even though the adventure guild had advised the girl to ask for the conquerors help, even they had not expected that they would be able to defeat a powerful boss like that so easily. This Pristine Seashore area was a small area if compared to other ones and that was the reason why the conquerors were able to finish their investigation so quickly.

Normally the sea would be an obstacle but for Rein\'s group, it was not a serious problem at all.

...

After clearing the Pristine Seashore, the conquerors decided to clear Burning Peak next as that Rein suddenly felt like fighting the sleeping god who was the hidden last boss was more appropriate. Just as Rein had expected, the Burning Peak did not have any sign of a god sleeping here.

As the name of this floor indicated, the burning peak was a Volcanic area and most of the monsters found here were related to the fire element. For that reason, this floor was a treasure trove for adventurers who were good at using water magic. This area was also one of the most explored areas of this dungeon and even currently two teams were here to defeat monsters.

That was the reason why the conquerors were unable to search the whole area without considering anything else. That would create conflict with the other adventurers. The conquerors had no reason to worry about that but still getting pestered by them would still be annoying.

And fortunately no one currently targeting the boss in this area, so Rein decided to just go straight to the boss to challenge it.

The boss of this floor was a Lava Serpent. It was swimming in the lava pool that was located at the top of the tallest volcano of this place. This monster looked quite majestic with its long body and brilliant scarlet scales. Anna wanted to try her Azure Water magic on this monster to do a little experiment, so she alone faced off against it.

While Rein, Tasha, Stella and Kagura were watching her with interest, Anna activated her magic. Immediately a blue water serpent appeared which looked exactly the same as the Red Lava Serpent.

The water element was very compatible with life or creation law, so creating a living being with that element was not very impressive for a powerhouse like Anna. But the most impressive thing in her action was the power of the serpent.

The water serpent was exactly as strong as the lava serpent. Anna did not have an ability like the Eye of Truth to measure accurate power level. So in a world where there was no perfect power classification system, what she was able to do was insane.

Soon the red and blue serpents started to fight. The water serpent had the elemental advantage but the lava serpent had the terrain advantage. Anna also made sure to give the water serpent the same instincts as the lava serpent. So their fighting prowess was almost the same.

After clashing for an hour or so the water serpent started to gain advantage. Then after a few more hours the water serpent was victory proving that the elemental advantage was more effective than the terrain advantage.

That\'s how the mid level difficulty area called the "Burning Peak" was cleared.
