The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 121: Ch 121: Conclusion of the Battle

When Rein used the Divinity Slash, for a moment he felt like he was able to execute the Sword God Art move but the very next moment he realised that he was still lacking a little bit and what he executed was not the true Sword God Art, at best it was a close imitation of the Sword God Art.

It looked very cool from the sides though and both Tasha and Stella were fascinated by it. Only Anna noticed that Rein was actually unable to unleash the real God Art but she was still happy as it was considerable progress for Rein.

But what Kenshin executed was a real Sword God Art move. For a second Rein felt like the whole world was pressing down against him. He almost had an illusion that the sky was breaking apart and the world was coming to an end. In this situation, suddenly his survival instincts kicked in and his move changed slightly.

In his desperation, Rein expected a completely new move. As soon as both of the attacks met there was a slight sound like glass breaking but other than that there was nothing but silence. But everything before the girls liked blurry as if the existence of both of the men were disappearing.

But that situation only lasted for a few seconds before everything returned to normal. Rein and Kenshin were still there. Rein looked very badly injured but all his girlfriend understood that it would not take him long to heal from these injuries. Kenshin was also slightly injured but was still in a better shape than Rein. His wounds were also healing but at a much slower rate than Rein.

Finally it was Rein who was able to completely heal to his best state first and seeing this Kenshin sighed at how absurd that was and admitted his defeat. He would at least need one whole day to get back in shape. Rein was not very happy with a victory of this kind but he needed answers to his question, so he decided to accept it.

...

The only reason Rein was able to survive that attack was because he was able to use something better at the very last moment. The last attack he used with his sword was not the Sword God Art that Anna was teaching him but a new move that he came up with taking the Divine Slash as a reference.

Later on, this girl did not marry and became a ruler of this nation. Then after a successful reign she was finally on her deathbed after living her life to the fullest. She had never married anyone but that did not stop her from enjoying her life with her all.

After all these years, Kenshin had investigated the influence of the dungeon on the girl and had created a way that after her death, the influence would transfer to her dead body instead of staying with her soul. That way she would be free from the influence of the dungeon completely in her next life.

But he had expected that the dungeon would be able to master a special kind of power in all these years. Somehow now it was able to use necromancy and after Lingxi died it used that same art to turn Lingxi into an undead trapped her soul within her body. This way the plan that Kenshin had thought failed.

Obviously he was unwilling to accept this outcome and used his everything to stop it. He used his full powers and it was so mighty that he was able to trace it back to the dungeon and almost destroyed it.

But soon both he and the dungeon were at the stalemate. He was unable to do anything to stop the dungeon from controlling Lingxi and the dungeon was also fearful as of he lose concentration for even a second, this man would destroy it.

At that moment it came up with a proposal. In exchange for giving the dungeon influence over just 1 percentage of his soul, the dungeon would completely release Lingxi from its control and he also needed to become the god of the dungeon. The dungeon would not have control over him and he would just work with it as an employee.

But still in a short time, Lingxi had become a part of the dungeon, so even though she was not under its control, she was still unable to leave the dungeon itself. After Kenshin died he was unwilling to leave Lingxi all alone. So he gave the dungeon 10 percent of his soul to permanently become a god here and to stay with Lingxi.

That was how he became the Undying Guardian God of the area.
