The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Rein was going to fight against the Kraken but his lightning magic was not going to be very useful for this battle. That was because the area where the Kraken was staying was surrounded by a special coral that had the properties of absorbing lightning to get strengthened.

Obviously as Rein's lightning was special, it would not be able to use it to strengthen itself and instead would get destroyed from inside. But still due to the salt water and these corals, his main attack method of lightning magic was going to be very limited for this fight.

But Rein was not too worried about it as he still had his light magic and sword. For a green grade transcendental monster, it was more than enough. And if she really wanted, he could just destroy all the lightning absorbing corals before the fight, but that was really not needed.

Rein had a chance to begin the fight with a sneak attack and that would have given him a decent advantage in battle. But an opponent like a Kraken with its multiple arms was a very good opponent to practice his weapon arts with it. So Rein decided to fight it head on.

As soon as the Kraken saw Rein, it immediately attacked. Two of the large tentacles were swung toward him. Rein dodged one of them while meeting the second one with his sword. After parrying it skillfully, he cut it down with a swing of this sword when the Kraken tried to pull it back.

But the Kraken had high regeneration capability and the tentacle grew back once again. Rein had expected it so he was not surprised.

He activated one of his divine sword's abilities and actively started to attack the Kraken. The Kraken also took Rein seriously and used all his large tentacles and even the smaller ones to attack him from all sides.

Rein focused intensely and started to cut the tentacles that were attacking him. The Kraken was not worried as it was sure that the tentacles that got cut would grow up just like before but that was not the case this time.

The ability that Rein activated on his sword was able to completely or at least partially block any healing effects. And as the Kraken's self healing ability was not very high tier so it was completely blocked by the sword's ability.

But after cutting four of the large ones Rein stopped. That was because without the ability to heal this Kraken was too weak and he would not be able to get much training done. So, he stopped when the Kraken was left with only 8 tentacles.

After that Rein fought the Kraken fair and square using nothing but his sword skills and arts. For that reason it was a very long battle but at last Rein was able to cut the Kraken in so many pieces that it was unable to recover anymore.

While fighting this Kraken he was also able to get a lot of Kraken meat than he expected because of the regeneration, so he became happy that his plan to not use the healing inhibitor was the right decision.

...

Just as Rein and Tasha were fighting their own battle, Stella was doing the same. She soon saw a large snake like being who was coiling around itself. It was Stella's opponent, Leviathan.

Before the battle Stella summoned her eight elemental spirits and turned them into armaments. Her fire spirit would be least effective in this place surrounded by water so she used it alongside her earth spirit to create a magma armour.

Normally she used water spirit as her armour but inside the sea, the water spirit was extremely powerful so using it as just armour was just a waste. So Stella turned it into a whip which would be her primary weapon for this fight.

Among the remaining 5 elements, wind turned into a bow and light, darkness and lightning and ice combined together to create an arrow. Stella had just recently been able to combine the opposing elements and four of them at that and she was excited to see the results.

This green grade transcendental Leviathan was a perfect test subject.

The wind accelerated arrow went straight for the leviathan. The light and lightning elements mixed together to create white lightning and the darkness and ice elements combine together to create black ice.

That way both of the opposing elements were able to maintain a delicate balance and did not cancel each other out.

Then when it made contact with the leviathan, Stella immediately cancelled the previous combination and combined light with darkness and ice with lightning. Obviously as opposing elements they did not combine but instead created a repelling force which generated a lot of energy.

And then this unstable energy blasted out and created a powerful elemental explosion.

After the explosion, Stella found that the Leviathan was already dead and in just one shot. This new technique of her was stronger than she had expected which was a pleasant surprise. But unfortunately a good amount of tasty leviathan meat had become ash because of her attack which was a sad thing.

But still she was happy with the results of her experiment and quickly collected all the remaining meat.

Tasha was looking at the ugly worm like Charybdis and was clicking her tongue in irritation.

When they were deciding who would be taking on which terror, Rein immediately said that he wanted to fight against the Kraken as he did not want his precious lovers to go anywhere near that tentacled monstrosity.

Tasha and Stella both were fine with it as they really hated tentacles more than anything and were very happy that Rein was really looking out for them.

So far everything was good, but then a problem arisen. Both Tasha and Stella wanted to fight the leviathan and no one wanted the ugly worm Charybdis as their opponent. So Stella and Tasha had a regular rock-paper-scissor match which Tasha unfortunately lost.

And now here she was looking at this ugly monster.

She at first had some ideas to try a few new moves, but now she was no motivation for that and she immediately turned into her primal beast form.

The Charybdis immediately noticed her and tried to go toward her but before it could even move a muscle, Tasha released a breath attack on this sea creature.

Immediately, it got corroded with darkness and disappeared completely. Tasha had no intention of eating something so ugly, so she just made it disappear from the world.

Three of them met up in front of the Deep Sea Palace with their insignias. Tasha was the first one to reach this place as she ended her battle extremely quickly and Rein was the last one to come as he took his sweet time practicing his sword arts on the Kraken.

Next they needed to explore the Deep Sea Palace to clear this floor. So Rein, Stella and Tasha put their insignias on the door to the palace which then opened in a grand fashion. The Conquerors entered the palace as the door closed behind them.
