Chapter 57: Ch 57: Against the Final Boss (1)
The eighteenth floor had the smallest area among all the floors and it was just a wasteland with nothing in sight except for the final boss of this dungeon. Yes, this whole floor was just a boss room.
The final boss of the dungeon was a pitch black dragon with bright yellow coloured veins running across its body. It was extremely large standing well over 300 meters and the length between its head and tail would be over 700 meters. It has six eyes with bright yellow iris and violet pupils.
It also had two black horns with just the tips being yellow. All in all, it looked extremely majestic.
As for the power of this black dragon, it was infinitely closer to the red grade. So currently was definitely stronger than Rein as he was only at the peak of orange grade. And for that reason he would need the help of all his companions to triumph over it.
As a dragon enthusiast, Rein knew a lot about them. But this was not a species of dragon he was familiar with. So there was a very high chance that this was a never before seen dragon specially created by the dungeon master of this dungeon which had never been conquered.
If that was truly the case then Rein and his lovers would be having a lot of troubles as they would have no idea what type of abilities it might have.
But that was not something they needed to think about right now. For the time being the conquerors needed to reach their strongest state before starting the battle. After that they could test the abilities of this dragon out with enough experimentation.
...
Tasha once again turned into her Primal Beast Form. But this was not a power up for her. The Primal beast form was a very normal thing for her and she could maintain this state for an indefinite amount of time.
But every primal beasts had a special racial skill that gave them an insane power boost and Tasha activated that skill.
The name of this ability was "Primal Rampage" and after activating it all her stats would get an insane boost but her rationality would also become unclear. So it was supposed to be a risky ability like a double edge sword.
But Tasha had thought of a very unique and clever way to get rid of that disadvantage. She used the function of Rein's network and used that to project her consciousness there. Then when she was in the rampaging state, she controlled her physical body remotely like a puppet.
So even though her physical body had lost all rationality, she was still able to perfectly control it and do whatever she wanted.
As for Stella, she also had her own unique way to power up. So far she had only used 8 types of elemental spirits and nothing else. But as a transcendental elf, she could control a total of nine spirits. So what was the last type of spirit she was able to make a contract with.
Stella's last contracted spirit was a spirit of magic. Yes, it was the spirit governing the concept of magic itself. It was also one of if not the rarest type of spirit which could be found in this world.
Stella normally did not use her much as the spirit of magic was too strong and using her or just turning her into an equipment put a huge burden on her body.
But if she needed to use the power of the spirit of magic just for a single battle then she was very much capable of and willing to use it. The power boost it provided her was enough for Stella to cover the power gap between her and Rein.
The spirit of magic was a translucent figure with the outline of a female body. Using her inherent special ability of spirit armament, Stella turned her into an earring and that adorned her beautiful long ear.
The change to her aura was immediate. This spirit did not make any significant change to her but just simply made all her spells stronger. Now she could deal 2 to 3 times more damage than before with the same spell.
Not only that but equipping the spirit armament of the spirit of magic also gave Stella access to almost unlimited amounts of mana and most of the magic spells would not be able to effect her anymore. Stella was truly an insanely powerful person with the spirit of magic equipped.
As for Rein, he used his strongest buff which he had named "Destructive Overdrive". The reason for this naming was simple, activating this move was equivalent to destroying his own body for strengthening.
He would use the power of his crimson lightning to get the best possible power boost and would depend on his self regeneration and light magic to heal any injuries be was suffering due to that strengthening.
Crimson lightning was truly very destructive with it having a specialization on that aspect, but as the golden light did not provide a boost to the healing aspect of the light element so the amount of damage he would be taking was always greater than the amount of damage he was healing.
So he was unable to stay in this state all the time and it was temporary. But the boost it provided was so good that all the disadvantages were worth it and it became Rein's go to move against any tough enemies.
The battle started with the dragon unfolding its wings and yellow six spears of light coming out from its back. They were then suspended in the air and started shooting destructive power beams toward everyone.
To counter them Rein also used a light elemental magic spell of the same type but as his spell was less destructive, he needed to use 9 spears to counter the dragon's six.
Several hundreds of magic circles also appeared in the air surrounding the dragon and they started to throw various types of spells to the three members of conquers. Stella then stepped up to take care of those spells.
She turned all the other spirits into magic staffs and started to use various kinds of spells with them. The power of her spells were stronger than the dragon's so she was not only dealing with all its spells, but she was actually able to land several hits on the dragon too.
But the dragon had a very high magic defence and even her overpowered spells did not do any serious damage to the dragon. From this display, it was evident that physical attacks must take centre stage in defeating it.
Rein and Tasha closed their distance with the dragon. With her full size, Tasha was just only a little bit smaller than it and was able to fight it head on.
On the other hand, Rein used his small body to hide himself for the dragon and started to use his Eye of Truth to find the weak point of this monster. He was also damaging the monster to take its attention away from Tasha when it was harder for her to match its strength.
Their first objective was to not allow the dragon to take to the sky. Even though they could also fight in the sky but most of the dragons naturally were masters of flight. So allowing this dragon to take flight and access the vast sky was bad news.
Very soon, Rein was able to find the first major weak point and it was also the point that would allow him to stop this dragon from taking off to the sky. Yes, it was the part of the body where the wings were connected to the body.
He immediately told Tasha that and hid himself with more care. Tasha started to attack the dragon with all her might so that the dragon would be forced to give its 100 attention to Tasha.
Rein took this chance to sneak onto the dragon's back and launched a boosted Sword King Art: End Horizon to cut off both wings of the dragon. It was so effortless that even Rein was a bit surprised.
It looked like this dragon's defence against physical attacks were significantly lower compared to the magical attacks.
After losing its wings the dragon became enraged and went into berserk mode. Now it was attacking anything on sight and Rein was unable to get its attention anymore. As Tasha was a bigger opponent in front of it, the dragon only had eyes for her.
It was bad news for Tasha but a good one for Rein. As it was completely focused on the large wolf and had forgotten about the human, Rein used this chance to land several powerful strikes on it.
Just when Tasha was unable to take anymore damage from the dragon, she teleported away and Rein took her place. After suddenly losing its target, it became even more angry and suddenly a seventh eye opened on its forehead.
As soon as the seventh eye appeared, Rein's danger sense started tingling and his Eye of Truth also told him that it was very dangerous. So even before his brain registered the warning, Rein teleported to Stella's side and pushed her away.
Immediately almost half of Rein's body disappeared. As soon as the dragon opened the seventh eye, it attacked Stella with a disintegration beam which moved at the speed of light. So the best Rein was able to do was to push Stella away to safety but he himself was unable to dodge.
Now the situation was taking a worse turn for the conquerors.
