The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

But it turned out that this monster had no need to avoid any attacks. As soon as it noticed Ruby attacking, its whole mountain-like brown body turned black. Then when Ruby connected her attack, she did an almost negligible amount of damage.

After her all out attack, Ruby lost her balance for a few moments. Taking advantage of that, this monster attacked Ruby. Its body turned into red from the black colour and a giant red hot ball of fire was thrown toward her. Ruby had no way to dodge it with her balance broken but at the last moment, Sophia appeared beside her and pushed her away from the fireball.

Then she also dodged it and two blades appeared in her hands. Immediately Sophia attacked the monster. The monster tried to change its colour again but even before that Sophia\'s super fast attack reached it. As soon as the shadow blade touched it, a large fissure was created on this monster\'s body.

But as soon as it was able to complete its transformation into the black colour, Sophia\'s shadow blades started to do very little damage. With this Sophia was able to be sure that with the change of color, the speciality of this monster would change. In the black form it had extremely powerful defense and the red form had a powerful attack.

There was also a brown form that she was not sure about the effect of.

Even though this monster was quite interesting and powerful, Sophia was able to easily defeat him. Just with two of her shadow blades, Sophia was able to do a considerable amount of damage to this monster even when it was in the defense specialised black form. And Sophia was able to summon hundreds and thousands of these shadow blades and even many other things.

So this monster was not a match for her.

So Sophia decided to take a slow approach in defeating this monster. As this monster was not powerful enough to threaten her, she decided to do some experiments with it to find out about all the forms that this monster had.

...

After about half an hour, this large mountain sized monster was dead after getting cut into several large pieces by Sophia. After the experiment, Sophia found out that this monster had a total of five forms. The brown form that she was seen before was specialised in healing and in this form this monster was able to recover from its wounds very quickly.

Then there were two new forms, one blue and the other one was white. In the blue form, instead of fire this monster was able to release ice. This ice had a special property that could slow everyone down who was affected by it.

And then in the last white form, this monster became faster than before. But it was the most useless among all the forms. That was because even with increased speed, this monster was still very slow. So this form was quite useless.

...

After this large monster nothing came to attack the ladies for some time. Then just when it was almost time for Rein to wake up a new type of monster attacked them. This time, the monsters who came to attack them had a human-like shape. If Rein was awake he would have noticed that this monster looked exactly the same as that little boy when he attacked Rein.

The first monster of this species who appeared was not that strong. Ruby was able to easily defeat it with just a single strike. But then more and more of these types of monsters started appearing and some individuals among them were quite powerful.

But none of them were as strong as an UR grade so Sophia and Ruby had no troubles with them even though there were quite a few of them. When Rein woke up and came out, he saw that both of the ladies were killing the last few of these monsters.

He immediately noticed the similarity between that boy and these monsters. He guessed that the race of that boy was probably the same as this monster. After the ladies were done killing all the monsters, he went to them and started asking about these monsters.

Sophia and Ruby told him quite interesting facts. That thing that had surprised them the most was the fact that this monster worked extremely similarly like humans. The way they were able to co-operate was really impressive. Even though Sophia did not feel much intelligence from these monsters, they were even able to use complex cooperative tactics while fighting her.

As if these types of tactics were engraved in their blood. This was an interesting matter, but Rein did not worry too much about it.

Next it was Ruby\'s turn to rest and she went in to do just that. After hearing what Sophia said, she was in a good mood and decided to confess to Rein later this night. As for Sophia, she informed Rein about what happened before and about her decision. Then just as they were snuggling close to one another, the whole romantic moment was ruined when another group of monsters attacked them.

Sophia was quite angry with this interruption and vented her anger on these monsters. Then she released a few of her shadow wolves to automatically defeat them while she tried to have some fun time with Rein. But to be annoyance, very soon a few strong monsters appeared, who were able to defeat her shadow wolves. So Sophia again had to interrupt her fun time.

This time Rein did not allow her to go and instead used his fire and ice power to snipe the monsters from afar. So with this, Sophia and Rein were still able to be together while the monsters were dying continuously in the background.

Very soon it was time for Sophia to take a break and Ruby to wake up. While going inside the tent, Sophia wished Ruby goodluck and winked at her. Now it was time for Ruby to take a very important step in her life.
