The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

"Hello, the powerful person with a bright soul. Please give me some of your valuable time and listen to me. I'm Sanakya and my soul is trapped in this dungeon alongside my friends who stayed with me even after their death. So, I beg of you to please kill me and do it in such a way that my soul is destroyed and I'm not just dead."

This was something extreme to request. The destruction of the soul meant the absolute death of a being. That person would disappear from the world never to be reborn again. It was astonishing that someone was asking for such an outcome of their own self. As Rein was shocked she continued speaking to Rein.

"I can understand that it is a very big request to make, as destroying a soul is very hard. But I still want mister to find a way. I don't want this evil dungeon to prosper from my death. So please, please help me."

That was a lot of information to gain from such a small statement. So it turned out that this dungeon was evil and somehow killing her here would help the dungeon in some way.

Rein had destroyed the soul of the Titan God to kill it, so it was probably not able to help the dungeon with its death. But the Plasma God was killed by Stella using her superior magic and she did not have any way to destroy souls. So, most probably that god's death had somehow benefited the dungeon.

Rein then tried to ask some questions to Sanakya through the soul link but the answer that came was unexpected.

"I'm sorry mister but due to my loss of control over my own soul, I do not have the capacity to process any message that you're sending to me. I apologise. But please allow me to tell you more about this dungeon and how I got trapped here. If that was what you were trying to ask me then I'm glad, but if that was not the case, please forgive me for not being able to answer the question."

After that Sanakya started of tell Rein about her story and the truth about this mysterious dungeon. That was not exactly the question that Rein was trying to ask but it might be able to help him in finding the answer for the question he was trying to ask -

"Is there any way to save you without destroying your soul ?"

Rein had destroyed the soul of the Titan God as he had thought that it was just a dungeon monster and its soul was tied to the dungeon. So destroying it was not bad as dungeon monsters souls were not part of the world and they would only get reborn as a dungeon monster again.

At the same time, when he found out that the Plasma God was a regular being of the wield before becoming a part of the dungeon, he did not go out of his way to destroy his soul as in a corner of his mind Rein thought that this person might have a change to enter the cycle of reincarnation again if they ended up destroying this dungeon as he was not a part of the dungeon from the very beginning.

Rein was not a heartless person who liked to kill everyone who stood in his way. Yes, he was a bit obsessive with his lovers but he was not blind to everyone else. If he was able to help a person he would not look away from that person or would enjoy someone's misery.

So currently Rein was trying to think of a way to somehow save the life of this girl who was a kind person but now she was trapped in this bad situation.

...

Sanakya started her story since the very beginning of her life and the first part of the story was very similar to what Anna had told him. There were some differences but none of them were too major.

Sanakya was a little girl who was born with too much power and very soon the people around her started to worship her like some kind of god. But she actually was just a sweet little girl who loved her monster friends and just wanted to play and spend time with them.

But as those monsters were very powerful many people started to interact with her. Some obviously did that with food faith but most did not. The religion that was created surrounding her was actually done by an evil person who wanted to use her powers for his own gains.

So when it was targeted by the rulers around her, instead of fighting back, Sanakya decided to run away with her beloved monsters and some people who genuinely liked her. That was the reason why the rulers were able to win the battle so easily.

But then when they tried to attack her after gaining confidence from their easy victory, 30 percent of that army was destroyed in just a few minutes by the monsters who were protecting Sanakya. That was also because Sanakya requested them to hold back due to her kindness or the whole army would have been wiped out.

After that the rulers decided to leave her alone as their primary objective of destroying the new religion was fulfilled and they were unwilling to lose their lives by offending her. So Sanakya was able to live her life in relative peace from them on.

But it did not last for very long as after only 3 years of peace, Sanakya started to have nightmares regularly. Then she started to hear various sounds inside her head. That way she was stressed all the time and her health deteriorated.

One of her monsters was able to find a special soul technique that was useful for her condition. So she started to practice it for some time and health did improve. But then she started to feel that something was wrong so she stopped practicing the technique.

But that little bit of opening was enough for the dungeon to enter her soul and it tried to consume her from within. Sanakya did not notice anything as she was not really specialised in soul so she had no way to notice this intrusion.

Then after a thousand years or so, Sanakya naturally died because of old age and she was surrounded by her monster friends. But then when it was time for her to enter the cycle of reincarnation, the dungeon tried to take her soul away.

This process was very noticeable and the monsters immediately noticed it. Then tried to use take bonds to influence her soul and to stop this process. But the dungeon has already affected her soul by quite a bit and the time just after the death of her physical body was the time when her soul was at its weakest. So they were unable to do much.

Then at the last moment, all the monsters decided to use their own soul as fuel to strengthen Sanakya's soul and that was what the dungeon was unable to completely take over her. But even then most of her soul was under the dungeon's control and she was made to be one of the sleeping gods of this place.

This was the story of Sanakya who got trapped here but never gave up and the evil dungeon who was forcefully collecting beings who had a position like a god at some point in their life. Now a new character, Rein was going to interfere with this story.
