The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After crossing the gate Rein found himself in the middle of a garden. But all the plants and flowers of this garden were made of eternal fire. But the fire of this area was of various different colours so the whole fiery garden looked very vibrant and beautiful.

In the middle of the garden, a figure was sitting calmly. From a distance, this figure looked to be that of a beautiful girl's but after getting closer, Rein was able to see that this figure was almost like a haze and looked illusory.

As soon as he was about to reach very close to the figure, it suddenly disappeared. All the plants and flowers suddenly started to glow with a powerful light and Rein found himself in the middle of a formation.

It turned out that this whole flower garden was actually a very well hidden formation. This formation was so intricately concealed that only after it was activated, Rein was able to detect it. And the mirage-like figure from before, it was just trying to bring Rein deeper inside the formation using itself as a bait.

Rein was also able to judge that there was not a single monster present in this garden for him to fight. Just like this while Desolate Plains of Gahana had a will, this garden also had one and that exactly was his opponent. So Rein needed to fight against this whole garden for his last test.

Even though Rein was tricked into a trap and now he was in a lot of danger in the middle of this powerful formation, he was not flustered at all. Rein calmly activated his symbol and used a powerful technique that was very useful in a situation like this.

As soon as Rein activated his technique, a fortress made out of ice appeared around him. This ice was extremely powerful and strong and it was able to block all the attacks that were coming toward him from the sides of the garden.

This technique was Rein's strongest defensive ability. It did not only have a tough defense but anything that got near the fortress got slowed down because of the cold. So it was extremely powerful and useful.

This was not a spell that Rein was able to cast in a moment's notice. Actually even before he had entered the Desolate Plains of Gahana, Rein had already prepared this spell. It was one of the trump cards he had prepared to save his life in a critical situation. So Rein using this spell in the current moment really showed how dire the situation was even though Rein looked unfazed.

With the protection of the Ice Fortress, Rein started to prepare more spells to counter attack on the garden. At the same time Rein started to use common spells which needed almost zero casting time to bombard the garden. But most of those weak attacks were defended by the flames which were all over the garden, so they did not have too much of an effect.

Just as Rein was about to launch a big attack, suddenly a giant figure made out of fire appeared before him. This giant figure then started to attack the fortress with its fiery arms which were extremely powerful.

Rein judged that even his fortress would not be able to withstand the attack of this giant for too long. So he was forced to redirect his attack toward the giant instead of the garden. This attack did manage to destroy the giant but the garden was still intact.

After that instead of one, three such giants appeared after Rein destroyed the first one. Rein judged that these three giants were slightly weaker than the first giant but only his super powerful attacks were able to one shot them. So these three giants were actually more troublesome than the first giant even though they were slightly weaker than it.

Rein had managed to withstand the initial unexpected attack and now had gotten into the rhythm of the battle. So he decided to cancel the Ice Fortress technique and was going to bring the fight into close quarters combat.

So immediately Rein made the Ice Fortress to disappear and instead of it, a pair of powerful ice blades appeared on his hands. So while dual wielding these swords, Rein started to fly toward the large giants with his full speed.

...

As soon as Rein started to use his swords, his combat strength went through the roofs. He needed just a few minutes to destroy all three of the giants and he even ended up destroying a part of the garden. Rein had already felt that these strong looking golems were just a scapegoat for the garden while it was busy preparing something very powerful and game changing. Rein had no intention to put himself into unnecessary danger, so he forced the garden to stop whatever it was doing.

When Rein was able to destroy a decent chunk of the garden, all the plants and flowers turned into large monsters and started attacking Rein. But these monsters were nowhere near as strong as the giants that Rein had fought just some time ago. But still with their interference, Rein was unable to continue damaging the garden and the will of the garden took this opportunity to repair itself.

But Rein had no intention to let it recover, so he increased his pace at which he destroyed the plants and the flowers. Soon Rein started to send a few attacks toward the repairing garden even while facing off against a huge number of monsters.

...

Just like this, slowly but surely, Rein started to gain an advantage in this battle. Then after a prolonged battle that lasted for almost one whole day, a winner was decided. That was none other than Rein.

He was currently standing in the middle of a ruined ground. Looking at his current location, no one would ever be able to guess that this was a beautiful garden just a day ago. The whole place was thoroughly destroyed and anyone would believe that no life had ever been born in a godforsaken area like this.

Actually Rein had managed to destroy the whole garden quite some time ago. But destroying the will of this place was more tricky than he expected. He needed to come up with various innovative ideas and only now he was able to succeed.

Finally another gate appeared before him and Rein was invited to go to the centre of the Desolate Plains where the answers to his questions were waiting.
