The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Rein was still expecting a little bit of resistance from the monster girl but that did not happen. Instead this girl's face turned crimson as she slightly nodded her head. Now it was the boy's turn to get angry. He suddenly shouted "Get away from the princess" and attacked Rein.

Rein observed the attacking boy with interest as his hands turned pitch black with fiery veins on it. Looked like this was the real form of this boy. His attack was quite powerful and his pitch black hands were also extremely hot. But this was nothing in front of Rein as the level of this attack had not even reached the UR grade. So he easily blocked the attack without any struggle.

After failing to do something to Rein after his first attack, the monster boy was ready to attack Rein a second time but fortunately the girl stopped him. She was just a bit flustered with how Rein hugged her so she was not able to react properly for the first attack. But now that she had managed to calm down, she immediately took action to restrict the boy.

After that the girl introduced herself as Prucia and welcomed Rein inside the house. After letting him sit in a reception room for a few minutes under the monster boy named Harris' care, the girl returned back with an old man who looked to be in his eighties and was extremely thin and sick looking.

But Rein was able to feel that this man was still quite fit for his age and his life was nowhere near his death even though he almost looked like a corpse.

He had bright eyes which he used to observe Rein and then in his slightly rough voice he introduced himself as Ben Welkins. Rein also returned the favour and introduced himself. It turned out that Ben was quite knowledgeable about UR grade and knew quite a few things about Rein. Some of the things that he knew were not known to the general public.

Most of the secret information he possessed was false as Rein and Sophia had created those informations as a cover. But even just knowing about them was proof of how far reaching connection this man had.

Rein was not fazed about it but he was a little curious as to why Ben was collecting information about UR grades. Rein was sure that he was not the only UR grade that Ben had collected information about so Rein was very curious for Ben's reason to do this. Collecting classified information about UR grades was not only extremely expensive but also very risky.

Rein did not beat around the bush and directly asked him the question he had in his mind. Hearing the question, Ben looked at Rein intently for a few minutes and then he spoke up again. But instead of answering Rein's questions, Ben asked him a question of his own.

"How strong do you think you are if compared to champion Chris ?"

Rein was able to understand the intent behind this question that Ben asked. Whatever his objective was, he needed a powerful UR grade to accomplish this. Rein decided to be a little bit frank with his response instead of trying to hide most of this strength.

"I have worked with Chris before which you probably already know but I did not have the opportunity to fight against him. But I'm confident that I'm at least as strong as him. The same is the case for my partner Sophia. We have another person working with us. She is Ruby and even though she is still not at the level of Chris Magdon, she is definitely exceptionally powerful without a doubt."

Hearing what Rein said Ben's eyes started to shine brightly but what Rein said was just his own opinion. Ben just could not believe his words so easily. But if what Rein said was true then there was a high chance that his last wish of this life could be fulfilled.

So after thinking about it for some time, he came up with a solution. He wanted Rein to do a task for him which would prove his worth as this task was definitely very hard. And if Rein could complete the task then he would believe in Rein's strength and would tell him about his true intention.

After thinking about it Rein decided to accept his proposal. His intuition told him that whatever old man Ben knew was not minor. So he decided to work a little bit hard to gain his trust instead of forcing the information out of him. So he contacted Sophia and Ruby. He told them about what happened briefly and asked them to come to old man Ben's house.

Ben already knew about the reason why Rein came to visit him even though it had only been less than an hour since he made that decision. This proved that Ben's information network was definitely very impressive. So Rein waited for his partners to come while eating the snacks that Prucia served and chatted with her. Prucia never had anyone other than Ben and the little boy who was her follower.

So she was enjoying this rare opportunity a lot.

After about 15 minutes, Sophia and Ruby finally came. The monster boy went to open the door for them and returned to the reception room with them. From the expression on Sophia's and Ruby's faces, it looked like with her sharp senses Sophia had already discovered the true identity of this boy and Ruby was still not sure about it but she was also suspecting the boy to not be normal.

After Sophia and Ruby greeted Ben and sat down, he finally started telling both of them about the task he wanted them to finish. Rein and his team needed to retrieve a special mineral called "Huguocite". Huguocite was something that could only be found at the depth of the Desolate Plains of Gahana.

Not only that but one type of fruit grew very near where Huguocite could be found and this fruit was extremely tasty for monsters of the Desolate Plains of Gahana.

So to retrieve this fruit, Rein and his group needed to fight off again a big horde of monsters. So this was definitely not something that any regular UR grade was capable of accomplishing. But this was not something too hard for top tier UR grades to do. So Rein was surprised that Ben's test was this easy.

Understanding what Rein was thinking Ben told him that they could not just retrieve any regular Huguocite but a particular one that Ben had marked in a map. This Huguocite was exceptionally large and so many more monsters were there in its area. According to Ben, even for Chris himself, retrieving that large Huguocite would not be easy.

Hearing everything about the job he needed to complete, Rein and his team finally left Ben's house alongside his Danger Rover car to complete this mission.
