The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After Kagura joined the family, the life of the conquerors fell into a routine. Tasha and Stella practiced regularly to get used to their powers and on the other hand Rein was practicing with his new partner Kagura regularly.

In her sword form Kagura did not look like her previous self and instead took on a new look. Her sword blade was pitch black with a golden handle. At the hilt of the sword a rainbow coloured gem was embedded. But in this new look, Rein felt even more comfortable wielding her.

After Kagura's transformation was completed, a light screen appeared before Rein explaining her new status to him. It was a very interesting and useful system and Rein was planning to use that with his Eye of Truth while judging a person. What was written on the status screen was -

[Name: Kagura

Race: Ultimate Spirit Sword

Weapon Grade: Eternal

Master: Rein Hart

Skills:

Racial Skills: Indestructible, Divine Bond, Potential Release, Limit Break, #&@$

Sword Skills: Heavenly Aura, Spiritual Destruction, Supreme Essence, Absolute Dominance

Other Skills: Humanification, Levitation Flight, Unification etc.]

Indestructible was a skill that was common for any and all Eternal grade items. Even though divine grade items were extremely durable and anything lower grade could not even scratch it but if it collided with another divine grade weapon for a lot of times then even it could be destroyed.

Divine grade items could even degrade with the effect of time.

But Eternal grade items were different. Time had no effect on it and even after millions of eons it would still stay the same. Even a fellow Eternal grade item was not capable of affecting another Eternal grade item. That's why they were Eternal and could remain even after the end of time.

Divine bond was a skill unique to Kagura. This was also her special ability. Due to this skill, she and Rein had their bond and it could strengthen each other depending on the power of the bond.

Currently the bond was quite powerful and was continuously strengthening as Rein and Kagura were getting to know one another and were getting used to each other's presence. Man and sword were becoming one steadily.

Release type skills were also special abilities that belonged to the Eternal weapons. There could be many types of release like heart release, peak release, past release etc. It had the effect of boosting the user depending on the type of release.

As Rein had an insane potential of gaining strength, this particular release was best suited for him and so Kagura chose it.

And limit break was a straight forward ability that just got rid of any power limitations imposed by the world. Currently this skill was useless to Rein as he was nowhere near close to reaching the limit imposed by the world.

But Kagura still choosing it just showed how much she believed in Rein and his future. The last skill was a mystery and neither Rein nor Kagura had any ideas about it.

Now the sword skills were skills that were related to Kagura's duty as a sword for her master. Heavenly Aura allowed her to not be restricted by anything like magic, curses and even time and space. That means she was able to cut through those things when it should have been impossible.

She was even able to cut through shadows and dreams with this skill. It was quite a broken ability.

Spiritual Destruction was a special property that Kagura had as an Ultimate Spirit Sword. She was able to directly hurt and destroy spirits and souls. For her a spiritual form or a soul form was just like a normal flesh and blood body.

The Supreme essence was a very special thing. It was a higher dimensional source of origin which was stronger than mana or aura. So using it to cast magic could increase the power of the spells and any sword moves performed with it would be stronger.

So it was a very important ability that immediately increased Rein's total power level by a degree.

Now the last sword skill absolute dominance was a skill that allowed Kagura to completely control any sword that was lower than her own grade which was actually the highest for this world.

This skill did have some limitations like it was only useful for Swords and no other weapon and such but still it was a very important skill.

That was because, most of the warriors used swords as their main weapon and Rein was very unlikely to encounter another eternal grade weapon. So practically from now on, no one would be able to fight against Rein using a sword, the most famous weapon of this world.

The other skills were just that, other skills. Using them Kagura could turn into a humanoid form or could fly in the sky. She had a bunch of these types of skills to use in her daily life. They were quite versatile and useful in many different cases.

...

At first Rein thought that he would have the least amount of things to do after taking the dungeon rewards, but now he was working harder than Stella and Tasha. An Eternal grade weapon exceeded his expectations in various degrees.

He had never thought that just increasing the grade of his weapon would have such a great impact on his combat strength.

Currently while equipping Kagura, Rein was stronger than even the Red rank that he had used as a frame of reference. He needed to think of a new power system to describe his current combat capabilities. Kagura was just way too powerful.

Actually with her even a child would be able to fight a transcendental monster. That was how strong an Eternal grade weapon actually was.

Rein was constantly practicing day in and day out to get his control back over his powers. A power without control was useless according to Rein. After getting an initial control over the dungeon core, Lucia was able to use some of this dungeon's functions, one of which was the spawning of monsters.

So for the last few days, she was supplying Rein with monsters to be his opponent and Rein was trying to improve the control over his powers by fighting them nonstop. Tasha was also using these monsters for her own training.

But instead of fighting them, she was just walking around the monsters while performing her stealth related magic spells. Monster had a very sensitive perception, so if she was able to trick their senses, then she would be able to trick everyone else's too.

Stella did not need any opponents for her own practice and she was just firing off spells after spells while quickly getting used to her accelerated state of mind. In the last few days, she had turned a whole floor into a wasteland while practicing her spells.

Giving her the ability to think faster was even more dangerous than giving a tiger wings. Even though she did not find any super strong equipment, her improvement was not worse than Rein's and that was a very big deal. This "Mind Acceleration" skill was just way too suitable for her.

Days were passing peacefully as Lucia took over more and more functions of the dungeon. Her takeover was happening so smoothly that she was actually feeling worried instead of happy by this. But soon trouble arrived.

As the formal master of this dungeon which was actually named "Grand Origin Dungeon", he was able to guess something very wrong was happening and he returned here. By the way, it was Lucia who told Rein, Stella and Tasha the name of the dungeon given by the previous dungeon master.

They actually had no idea about it. Lucia was also planning to change the name, so it was actually fine to not remember it.

As the dungeon master returned back to the 18th floor, he found the conquerors waiting there for him. As soon as he returned he was immediately able to understand what was happening to his dungeon and his face turned red in anger.

He was an old man with a head full of long white hair and a long white beard. His head had a back demonic horn and his eyes were blood red. Dungeon masters were a unique race that had no similarities between them and anyone could have any type of feature. So his looks were not surprising.

As he was trying to shout something while activating some sort of spell, Rein tried to stop his and lightly swang Kagura. He was trying to hold back as much as possible as the dungeon master was not really very strong. He was only barely at the green grade transcendental rank.

Killing him here was not allowed as his dying would also force the dungeon core to self destruct. Lucia might be able to stop it with her current control but Rein had no intention to take any kind of risks.

So he destroyed the ability that the dungeon master was trying to activate and after that Tasha immediately trapped her inside a pitch dark prison. The previous dungeon master lost his consciousness there and was going to stay fainted as long as Lucia was not done with her job.
