The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Now that the meeting had ended successfully, this brought a huge relief to all the humans and their guards had almost completely disappeared without them noticing at all.

This was the exact moment when the Demon Sovereign attacked. This attack was completely sudden and he also targeted the sect master of Divine Scale Pavillion who was weakest among the true gods present here. So the sect master was not ready for this sneak attack at all and his life flashed before his eyes. But fortunately Rein was just beside him and quickly stopped this attack.

But this attack was way too strong and just the shockwave released from the collision of Rein and Alcusus was enough to blow the sect master away. The other demons present in this room also attacked everyone at the same time and five more demon gods suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The situation immediately became dire.

The demons did not have this many demon gods before when the supply of the world\'s energy was cut off. So how was it possible for the number of demon gods to increase when actually it should have been decreasing. This fact left all the humans in a dilemma and in the meantime, the demons started to gain momentum.

If this went on, very soon all the humans would not be able to hold on any longer. Seeing this all the demons started to become happy. Their main objective was very important at the current moment so all the demons continued attacking with full force.

The reason for this boost in the demons strength was simple. When his back was pushed to the wall, Alcusus actually revealed the location of the secret area to others. That area was still capable of inducing extreme growth in talented people and the new demon gods had appeared because of exactly that reason.

The target of this sneak attack was actually only a single person and that was Rein. Even if the other true gods managed to get away, it would be fine. But Rein should not be given any chances to run away from here. His dying was essential for fulfillment of the demon\'s ambition.

In this period of troublesome time, Alcusus was suddenly able to make a breakthrough. It was not like he had reached a new unheard of realm but his powers had definitely gotten stronger. But as long as Rein was with the human race, no matter what the demons did, they would not be able to gain a significant advantage on the human race.

Sometimes the power of a single individual could be greater than a race. For the current demon race Rein\'s powers looked just like that.

So this whole idea of negotiations and whatnot, it was all actually a plot to bring Rein inside the spatial rift so that he would be caught off guard and helpless. And because of how overconfident and foolish these humans were, this plan had gone on extremely smoothly.

Alcusus was now stronger than his previous self and even before this Rein was slightly weaker than him. Not only that but Alcusus had also used a powerful formation in this area that boosted the powers of the demons while weakening the powers of the humans.

Even though higher ranking demons were quite intelligent, the humans had a prejudice that even then they were not very good at array formation which was actually a false belief. This powerful array formation which was better than almost all the sect protecting formations was the proof of that.

So with this much preparation, the demons were extremely confident that they would be able to kill Rein today without any doubt. But what they did not know was the fact that Rein had actually noticed what the demons were planning as soon as he entered the spatial rift and was just waiting for them to make a move.

Rein knew that the abnormal growth that the demons were having was mostly because of his influence. If what Rein had speculated was true and this whole ordeal was actually a test for him, then there was no way he would allow the demons to get any kind of advantage on him.

But the human race was also in a terrible situation and in these circumstances if the Rein proposed the idea of pushing for more attacks then he would get very little support. So the main reason why Rein had joined the human team to enter the rift was because he wanted to somehow provoke the demons to attack the humans so that the negotiations broke down.

If that happened then no other humans would ever ask for peace with the demons again and Rien\'s worry would end.

But it turned out that Rein had no need to worry this much. He had no need to try anything else as the demons were already trying to get rid of all the humans. So Rein did not do much except for provoking the demons a bit more at the very beginning to just make sure that they would really attack.

Rein had felt the increase in Alcusus\' powers and at the same time he had slightly noticed the presence of the great formation. This was really a very impressive formation that was hard for even Rein to notice. It was actually integrated with the spatial rift itself and that was the reason why detecting it was so hard.

Still Rein had not expected that a few new demon gods would suddenly appear. But it was within his expectation. If the world was really trying to test his might, a single Alcusus was far from enough.

There was also another problem with Rein\'s calculations. As he had never been inside the spatial rift, he had no idea that it was devoid of any natural phenomenon. For this special nature, Rein was unable to use the rain stone here as it would not take effect. So Rein had actually lost his biggest trump card after entering the spatial rift.

If Rein had not managed to reach the realm of a true god, then in the current situation even he would be in some trouble. But if he boosted his cultivation power with his Furnace Body, then the strength he would be able to display, was not as good as his boost from Rain Gain but it would still be superior to all the demons present here. So he was not worried.

Now it was time for Rein to get serious.
