The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Obviously carrying a large mountain like this in this danger zone was impossible. But still Rein and his party were able to think about carrying it because of the special properties of the Huguocite rock. It was a fantastical rock which could radiate a special energy frequency which could give monsters and blessed humans a slight power boost.

This special energy frequency was not unlimited. So if a very powerful ability used up a large amount of this energy then the size of the rock would decrease. It then would again need a month or two to get back to its full size again.

So the only way for Rein and his group to carry this rock was if they could consume enough energy from it to make it small enough to be haulable. But with how large this rock actually was, it would be extremely hard to consume most of its energy. At least it was impossible for just the three of them.

So Rein needed to use the monster's help here. Rein could not judge just how much actual energy this Huguocite had as he had not experienced it before. But if Rein could make all the monsters present in the location of the Huguocite to absorb the energy from it then that would definitely consume a decent amount of it.

But to make all the monsters to absorb the energy of the Huguocite, they needed to face an extremely dangerous threat. If it was a group of humans with considerable intelligence then scaring then was easy. But for mindless monsters, it was extremely rare for them to get scared of anything.

So Rein needed to find a way to make these monsters to be scared. And for that purpose Sophia came up with a good idea. Two easiest ways to make monsters scared were by releasing powerful aura or by intimidating them with size difference. As there were many monsters mingling in this area, the first method would not work too well, so Sophia was planning to use the second method.

She could use shadow to create large structures. But creating super large structures was not only difficult and needed a lot of energy but the bigger the structure was, the weaker it would actually be.

The reason for that was the nature of her ability. The more her shadow was compressed, the stronger the creature created from it would be. For that reason, the bigger structures were not compressed at all so it was not very powerful.

But Sophia's objective was not to make her shadow structure too powerful. If some monsters tried to attack it in fear then she just needed to make sure to kill it before that monster could engage with the main structure.

...

After refining her plan with Rein and Ruby's help, Sophia immediately took action. She created a large white wolf which was over 100 meters tall just by standing on its four feet. Actually to create this large of a structure, Sophia needed to decompress her shadows a lot. The more compressed a shadow was, the darker shade of black it would have. And the vice versa was also true.

So as this shadow of hers was extremely decompressed, it had a very light shade and it looked almost white. So naturally this wolf-like structure looked large and imposing but actually it was extremely weak. Just a slight hit from even the weakest of monsters was able to destroy it.

So Rein, Sophia and Ruby needed to protect it from any attacks. But if they came out in front of the monsters as humans, then there was a high chance that their plans would fail. So Rein, Sophia and Ruby decided to act as this wolf's summoned familiar by covering themselves in black shadow. Many monsters had similar abilities, so the monsters would not find it suspicious.

...

As soon as this giant wolf suddenly appeared, all the monsters became agitated. Sophia was satisfied with this reaction, so to make the monsters fearful Sophia made the monsters to open its mouth and let out a loud roar. The effect of that was immediate and most of the monsters became fearful.

As their instinctive reaction they started to absorb energy from the Huguocite rock. Rein was extremely happy by this effect as just before his eyes, the size of the large mountain started decreasing. But even after this, the mountain was too large to be carried and Rein decided to force the monsters to absorb even more energy from the Huguocite.

But then the thing that Rein was most worried about happened. The three super powerful monsters who were calmly resting wake up from all this commotion and decided to attack the threat that had appeared before them. These monsters were super powerful so defending against them was extremely hard.

Not only that but Rein and his team needed to defend against their attack while making sure that the aftershock from the attack was not affecting the giant wolf. That was because this white wolf was truly extremely weak and even the aftershock was able to completely destroy it.

Sophia went to obstruct the giant fireball monster with her powerful shadow and Ruby went to take care of the colour changing mountain monster. As for Rein he went to face off against the unknown monster as in this situation, this one was most dangerous.

Sophia was successful in stopping the fireball monster by completely engulfing it in her shadow. Ruby was also able to make the volcano-like monster to change its colour to black and made it completely defensive with her continuous nonstop attacks.

The monster that was attacking Rein looked like a porcupine. But with the spikes instead of having a rat like main body, it looked like a panther. Rein could guess that getting hit by those spikes would be a very bad idea, so he wanted to immobilize this monster before it could make a move.

For that reason, Rein tried to use ice to freeze it. The ice he was using this time was coloured black. Rein was doing it so that the monsters would not become suspicious. But this modification weakened the power of the ice slightly and probably because of that, the monster was not affected by the ice at all. As soon as Rein's ice touched the monster's spike, it immediately vanished. Read the latest stories on M-VL-em|p,yr

Rein immediately realised that this monster was stronger than he had expected and immediately went all out.

Rein not only used his ice power but also added his fire element to it. Using that she created his strongest attack to defend himself against the monster. This clash created a massive cloud of smoke. Sophia and Ruby immediately became nervous and worried about Rein's condition.

Now would Rein be fine after this clash.
