The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 243: Ch 243: Advancing to the Second Round

Rein and Sophia both easily won their second match. But then a troublesome opponent appeared before Rein in the third match. This man was called Conrad and he was an extremely powerful opponent. In this group 51, he was the second favourite to be the overall champion of the group.

In the previous world championship, he had managed to get a high rank of 103, just a little bit short from reaching the top 100.

He had silver hair, blue eyes and a large physique. Conrad's special ability was related to lightning and it was extremely powerful. So even Rein needed to be careful to not get directly hit by him. So as soon as the match started, Rein used his fire and ice to create several constructs all over the arena.

Conrad was able to turn his body into lightning. In this state, his speed would have a huge boost. This was a very powerful advantage for Conrad and his opponent would not be able to even see him with his speed. But this technique had a massive flaw. If Conrad found any obstacle in his way no matter how insignificant, he would have to come out of the form to dodge that.

So this powerful technique had a very easy counter.

But Conrad was not worried a bit after seeing the constructs appearing in the field. Instead he showed a ferocious and mocking smile and turned his body into white crackling lightning. Then he went straight toward Rein. Obviously there were many constructs between them and everyone was worrying about how Conrad was going to get past them.

But next something insane happened. Even with the obstacle in his way, Conrad did not stop at all and came in contact with the ice wall that Rein had created. But this ice was unable to block him at and broke apart. So it turned out that in the last ten years, Conrad had improved a lot and had managed to solve this weakness of his.

But Rein was not surprised by this at all. He had already expected that Conrad would not be stopped by only this much. So this was not a surprising outcome for Rein. As soon as the wall of ice was broken, Rein controlled those broken shards to surround Conrad and trap him in.

Not only that single wall but all the ice walls that Rein had created throughout the arena broke at the same time and turned into many pieces. Then then those shards of ice came to support the first ice shards which were trying to trap Conrad inside.

...

Just like that the tournament continued. Rein managed to win all his matches while using his powers very innovatively. This impressed many people and the amount of female fans that Rein had increased tremendously. As for Sophia, she continued with her dominating performance.

Rein never used all his power and used just barely enough to defeat his opponent with his skillful use of his ability. So even though Rein won every match without even feeling much trouble, his victories did not look that donating.

On the other hand, Sophia used his pure power to destroy all her opponents in the shortest amount of time. So she looked way too dominating. There was a powerful blessed with a symbol that could summon a massive tree. This was not a powerful technique offensively and its defense was extremely formidable.

But Sophia cut the large tree into several pieces within seconds and defeated that person without breaking a sweat. That was how she qualified for the second round in a record time and was also undefeated throughout the first round.

The same was true also for Rein. His matches were longer than Sophia's so the total time he took was much longer but Rein was also undefeated in his group. He even managed to defeat a lady who had ranked 87th in the last championship.

Chris also qualified for the second round while being undefeated but the time he took was longer than Sophia's even though he had managed to break his own record of shortest time. This exceptional performance from Sophia and her beautiful appearance had made her extremely famous throughout the whole world.

Cytrus also managed to barely qualified for the next round while being in the fourth position in his group. So this Championship already was a massive success for the nation of Maltria.

Now it was time for the second round to begin.
