The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 247: Ch 247: Second Round Continues

As the second round was continuing for the three days straight, all the participants needed to find time to rest and eat while being in the danger zone. This was also a part of the championship. The drones which were staying with the participants were carrying special food of small size big with very high calories, so food was not really the main problem here.

But finding a safe place to sleep was definitely extremely difficult.

The people who had teamed up had an easier time as they were able to take turns resting and were able to stay safe. Lone wolves like Sophia and Chris would be having the most problems with this. But they were not dumb and had made preparations for situations like this.

Sophia had the ability to store a few things in her shadow so she had a good tent stored there. As for her safety, she had created a technique for this. Around her camp, Sophia was going to place many dark constructs which would warn her if any monsters got near it. So Sophia was perfectly ready to spend the night in the Ashen Barrens.

Chris also had his own high quality tent and with his powerful armour, he really was not worried about the monsters here.

Rein was also ready with his preparations to spend the night. He was planning to create a barrier to keep himself safe from the monsters. Actually, Rein was not feeling sleepy at all so he was planning to hunt for a few more monsters until it was late at night. So the amount of time he would need to spend in the barrier was not much.

But resting just anywhere was not good so Rein started to search for a good location while continuing hunting the monsters. So far he had not encountered any other participants of the championship. That was because Rein was trying to avoid them after sensing their presence with his new technique.

But suddenly he came across a fellow participant for the first time. Rein had sensed the presence of seven monsters and came to hunt them down. But after reaching the location of the monster, he found that there were just six monsters and the seventh presence that he felt was that of girl's who was currently fighting against those monsters.

Ruby was fighting with all her might against these monsters. She had not encountered any monsters in this godforsaken place for a long time so she unknowingly let her guard down. Taking that chance, these six monsters were able to successfully sneak attack on her.

Ruby managed to successfully defend herself against this sneak attack but one of the spikes managed to hit her on her hand. After that she used her ability to go berserk and increased all her stats but the paralysing agent that had entered her body was constantly weakening her and she was having a hard time against these six monsters.

Now, after fighting these monsters for over an hour, she was finally reaching her limit. She could feel that her body was getting more and more numb. Her resistance to the paralyse was failing her. Ruby understood that in a minute or two she would lose her ability to move.

When she signed up for this tournament, she knew that there was a risk of dying. But as very few UR grades had ever died during the world championship, she was sure that she would be fine. But that turned out to be her overconfidence. Ruby did not want to die at such a young age. She wanted to live and enjoy her life even longer.

So when she came face to face with her death, she froze up and felt like crying.

At that exact moment, a person clad in fire came before her and punched the monster that was attacking her away. Then he created ice spikes and threw them toward the other monsters. These monsters were good with their team works, and those with good defense and scales came forward to defend against it.

But the power of the ice spikes were stronger than what the monsters had expected and they pierced throughout the monster's defense like tofu. So they immediately died. That boy continued attacking the other monsters without stopping and killed all six of them in almost no time.

This dramatic save made Ruby's heart to race and this girl fell in love for the first time in her life.
