The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Rein had never seen the great monsters that he needed to defeat to clear this world's trial. But he still did a lot of research on it. For that reason, he knew a lot about this monster. That was why he had been trying to find some traces of this being anywhere in this world.

From what Rein was able to guess, this monster was a prehistoric monster or even the first ever monster who had once roamed the surface world. Then for some reason it fell to the depths of the underground and got trapped in the core of the world. Rein still had no idea about why or how that happened and he was trying to find that out.

And now he finally had a clue. But it was very faint. And the main clue was going to be sent to one of the research centers. But Rein and Sophia also wanted to have a sample of this worm for themselves. After discussing about this matter, they went to the other three and told them that Rein and Sophia also wanted to get the samples of these worms.

As there were still quite a few intelligent monsters left in the desert, it was not a big deal. Sophia was even willing to pay the other UR grades a huge amount for their help.

But after hearing that Sophia and Rein wanted to have a sample of the worm, the other three also thought that it was a good idea. So all of them then wanted to have a sample for personal investigation. So after discussing it among themselves, they decided to catch five more of these worms, one for each member of the team.

With their experience of catching the worm before, all of them worked perfectly with each other and managed to catch five of those worms in just one day. Then they parted ways to find out more things about these worms.

...

Rein and Sophia did not return to their own nation of Maltria and instead went to visit Uratania, which was the country where Ruby lived. Currently Uratania was in chaos because monster activity had increased in the Kabalaska mountains. Even though no monsters above the UR grade had appeared there, three UR monsters had appeared there.

Ruby was very tired after fighting them immediately after she recovered from life threatening injuries. So if more monsters of that calibre appeared in that mountain, she would have to push herself to fight them. That was the reason why Rein and Sophia were going there to support her.

They took their private jet and arrived in the city of Poetua which was the capital of Uratania. Even though she was tired, Ruby was waiting at the airport to welcome them. She was very glad that she was able to see Rein and Sophia again very soon after they separated. She was also very thankful and glad that they were willing to come and help her even though they were also very busy.

Ruby escorted Rein and Sophia to her house. At first Rein and Sophia tried to reject her offer as they did not want to disturb Ruby anymore when she was already very tired. But Runy reassured them that she had maids in her house so they did not need to worry about it. Only after making sure that Ruby would not be inconvenienced by it, Rein and Sophia decided to take her offer.

Even though they were extremely rich, Rein and Sophia did not live in a very big house. Their house was high tech and expensive but it was only a two storied house with about 10 rooms. While Ruby lived in a house that was a mansion and an extremely large one at that. Her house was also a famous tourist spot of the capital with how beautifully decorated it was.

Ruby had not really built this house but the government of the nation had built it for her. It was a mega project which started as the celebration of the birth of their first ever UR grade. This was a ten year long project and only 2 years ago, this mega mansion was finished.

It was truly a work of art. Uratania was a city famous for its amazing craftsmen. So a structure in which they had given their all had surely become very beautiful. But it turned out that Ruby herself only used one part of the property as it was just way too big. All the other rooms were used as hotels for VIPs to stay. Just having money was not enough to stay in a room of this mansion.

To have direct permission from Ruby herself was important.

Currently Ruby was too busy with her work and had no time so this mansion was empty of all the visitors and only the servants working for the mansion were there. They were extremely happy and glad to receive other powerful UR grades from a different nation and showed their incredible hospitality skills.

So Rein and Sophia spent the first day in Ruby's house getting treated extremely well by a few dozens of maids.

...

The next day, Rein and Sophia went to the Kabalaska mountains to check it out. Ruby came with them to be their guide even though both Rein and Sophia tried to stop her and asked her to rest up. But Ruby was adamant in showing them around and did not listen to anyone.

Rein had already started to investigate the work and was trying to find a way to learn more about the great monster from it. He still had not managed to find any good clues from it but Rein was still continuing his investigation on this worm as this was the only lead he had at this moment.

But for the time being Rein stopped thinking about it as they were in another danger zone, becoming careless here was extremely dangerous.

Kabalaska mountains looked quite creepy to even the general eyes. It was not a very tall mountain and had a lot of trees on it. So one would expect the Kabalaska mountains to be green but that was not the case. None of the trees growing on this mountain had the natural green coloured leaves and instead had leaves of various different colours.

One might think that these types of colourful leaves might make the mountain to look beautiful but the combination of the colours were so bad that just looking at it for some time might give someone a headache. So no one sane would find this mountain to be beautiful. At the base of the mountain, the weakest among the monsters while the top of the mountain was filled with super strong ones.

Last time, three powerful monsters from the top of the mountain had come down and had attacked the human base which was present here to keep an eye on the situation of the mountains. As the attack was very sudden, that base was completely destroyed. As soon as Ruby got the news, she came and defended all the remaining people who were still alive.

Normally she would have been able to defeat these monsters without suffering any injuries but as there were other people present who needed her protection, Ruby was unable to go into her berserk mode and had to sustain some injuries while defeating these monsters.

Today Rein, Sophia and Ruby were planning to scout out the top of the mountain to see how the other monsters living there were doing.
