Chapter 92: Ch 92: Against the Strongest (1)
After the king and all the soldiers were defeated, a bottomless hole appeared where the king was standing. Rein reunited with Stella and Tasha, nodded to each other and jumped down the hole together.
This time they appeared inside a room that was extremely luxurious and looked like a throne room. As soon as Rein landed here he immediately understood that this was the final floor of this dungeon.
Then his sixth sense immediately alerted him of the presence who was sitting on the awesome throne present in the room.
After laying his eyes on the figure who was sitting on the throne, Rein immediately felt an incomparable threat coming from it. He was forced to understand that even a hundred or thousands of current him would not be a match for the figure sitting on the throne. It was just that powerful.
The figure on the throne was a suit armour. Yes, it was just a full body suit of armour and nothing else was visible. Rein had no idea what was inside the armour. Even his Eye of Truth was unable to see through it at all.
That was only possible in very few situations. And after taking another careful look at the armour Rein confirmed what situation that was. That suit of full body full plate armour was an Eternal grade item and it was only the second eternal grade item that Rein had seen.
After a few seconds of silence, the figure on the throne spoke up. Its voice had a metallic edge to it and it was impossible to discern if the speaker was a male or a female.
"Two of the girls are unqualified to fight me. The boy is qualified. You could choose any type of weapon and landing a single hit on me is the winning and the clearing condition."
Saying so the figure on the throne stood up and went to the stage that was built in the middle of this super large room. Rein told his lovers to stay there and to be cautious and careful. Then he also started to walk toward the stage.
Rein held Kagura tightly. If Rein was asked about his current state of mind he would say that he was currently a little bit scared and tensed.
But at the same time he was extremely excited as he would get a chance to lock swords with the strongest person he had ever seen in his life including all the other lives he had lived inside that special dungeon.
As Rein slowly but steadily closed the distance between him and the figure standing on the stage, his mindset began to change. First his fear started to go down and at the same type his lust for battle started to grow.
Rein was not a battle maniac. He did not mind fighting if he needed to do that or fighting would help him in gaining strength. But much rather preferred to spend his time flirting with his lovers than to fight against people. He was not a battle maniac and had no special love for it.
But at the end of the day, he was still a warrior in heart. When he saw a strong opponent against whom he had no chance of winning, he was still determined to exchange moves with that person before admitting defeat.
After leaving many lives, Rein had developed a special sense when it came to fighting. When he was facing off against the enemy of his same calibre or higher, he would be able to understand that person while exchanging blows with that person.
This was a type of conversation that Rein was capable of doing only when he was fighting an opponent of the same level or a superior one.
Even though Rein did not like fighting, he loved to converse with people in this way. When he became too strong, the amount of people who could talk with him, heart to heart, in this way became very limited and that made Rein a little bit sad.
So that now he had managed to find an opponent with whom he could again converse in such a way, he was becoming expectant and quite happy honestly.
After stepping on the stage, Rein held Kagura and introduced himself -
"I'm Rein Hart, an adventurer and dungeon explorer. I'm looking forward to having an amazing experience with you."
The armoured figure looked at a bit taken aback when Rein introduced himself and then immediately it was able to get back to its senses. To answer Rein it spoke up in the same mechanical, metallic and emotionless voice -
"I'm just a shadow of the long forgotten past. Neither my name or my identity is important. Currently I'm just the final boss of this dungeon. So if you want to clear it to get the rewards try your best to land a blow on me."
Saying so probably to show respect to Rein and to acknowledge him as a real opponent, she also unsheathed her sword for the first time. And immediately Rein gasped in shock.
He had all the reason in the world to do so, as the sword that came into his view was also an Eternal grade weapon just like Kagura.
Obviously for Rein Kagura was the best and the strongest weapon in the world, but still he could not disregard the fact that currently a single person was holding two pieces of Eternal grade items.
Eternal grade items were extremely rare, so much so that Rein had only come into contact with one just a little bit ago. He had thought that very very few people would have an item of this degree let alone two. But that had become a reality.
But this was not time for Rein to get distracted. So what if she had two powerful eternal grade treasures, he also had one. He adjusted his mindset and got ready for the battle. This was going to be a very important step for Rein toward his goal of standing at the top of the world.
