Chapter 103: Ch 103: Entering Deity's Resting Ground Again
But still she was able to enjoy her date because she was with the person she loved. Anna knew about dates as many couples used to go on dates even in her times but she never get the appeal of a date. But after finally experiencing it for herself, she was able to feel why many people loved this feeling.
In her heart she apologized to a long gone good friend of hers who was laughed at by Anneshia for being too excited about a date.
This was a short date as it was already quite late when the date started. But still the few hours that Rein and Anna spent together was very valuable for both of them. Rein also bought a pair of matching pendant-like accessories to commemorate their first date.
They ended the date in front of a small artificial lake where both of them shared a long kiss which was filled with the feeling of love that they accumulated throughout their whole date.
...
After the date was over, why returned back to the inn and met up with the other girls. Then they ordered dinner and ate that in their own luxurious room. After tasting the food Anna complained that it was not as good as the food that Rein had made but Stella informed her that the food Rein made were all masterpieces as Rein himself was a great cook.
But she should not expect that kind of food from any other places as it would be almost impossible to find.
After the dinner it was time for Rein and his lovers to make love. Kagura went back to Rein inventory with the determination to participate in such an act next time for sure. As her preparations were almost over, she was confident that the next time Rein made love it would be with her.
It was also Anna\'s first time participating in a 4p. It was a little uncomfortable at first to share her beloved with others, but after seeing that all three of them were crazy for him the shar way, she was soon able to adapt and she had a very good night.
...
The next day it was finally time for them to enter the dungeon once again and to start from where they left it. The next area that they were going to clear was the "Forest of Nightmare". It was a dark forest filled with trees with black bodies and purple leaves. There was only one kind of tree in this forest and all of these trees grew in very weird ways and in various different shapes.
All in all, this forest was creepy.
The monsters which could be found here were various kinds of forest creatures who were very good at hiding themselves. Other than that, there were also treant like monsters. These monsters were quite troublesome for regular adventurers as their sneak attacks were deadly.
But obviously Rein and his group had no problems with it. As Rein was also not able to find any Sleeping god here, he was not very interested in this area. So they decided to quickly defeat the boss and to clear this area to finally open the next area with a higher difficulty.
The boss of this floor was an extra large treant that was capable of creating puppets from its wood. Those puppets were numerous and the treant was also able to revive and heal them. The treant itself had a very high vitality and its resistance to physical attacks and various types of magic was also very high.
Normally it would be a troublesome opponent of even a mithril rank party if their firepower was not high enough. But for Rein\'s group it was just a slightly larger ant. Anna did not participate in any of the battles and just observed everything with interest.
...
The most dangerous thing of this Forest of Nightmare area was not its sneak attacking monsters but actually the special phenomenon for which this place was known for. Randomly in some parts of the forest a gas would suddenly appear. Whoever inhaled this dangerous gas would fall asleep and bad nightmares would haunt them.
In the best case scenario, this would just ruin the adventurer\'s day and would also make them to have a bad experience. But in the worst case one might even die from excessive fear.
After clearing the floor, Rein was investigating the area to find valuable materials and while doing so he came across a group of adventurers who were sleeping on the ground of the forest completely defenceless. Monsters were gathering toward their location and their lives were definitely in dire danger.
So Rein\'s group saved those people and woke them up with some curse purifying magic. That gas was not some kind of poison or sleeping gas but a type of powerful curse. So antidotes and things like that would have any effect in this area.
...
After getting access to the high level difficulty area, Yueming Wasteland, the conquerors came out of the dungeon. Their next target was another area with high level difficulty, so they were planning to go to the beginner area of the "Dark Caves" and were planning to clear the three areas connected to it with mid level difficulty.
So their first target was the "Desolate Temple". From the name of this area Rein was looking forced to know if this place had a sleeping god or not as the name gave him hope. So he was curious to know what kind of sleeping god could be found here.
But just as they were going to use the entrance of the dungeon to go to Desolate Temple, a little girl called out to them. She was about ten years old and she had an anxious expression on her face.
Seeing that Rein crouched down on his knees to be in the same eye level as the girl and gave her a gentle smile. Then he asked the girl about her situation. Rein judged that the girl was in some kind of trouble and she needed his team\'s help. So he decided to listen to her as it looked like the situation was serious.
This girl was living alone with only her mother. Just a few hours ago her mother suddenly collapsed for an unknown reason. Her mother was working for the guild and was responsible for handling the material that the adventurers submitted to the guild.
It turned out that while working in her job, she mistakenly touched a cursed statue and because of that she went into a coma. According to the healer who checked on her, she needed an ingredient called the "Sea God\'s Heart" to wake up. And that item was only found from the boss of the "Pristine Seashore" area.
So only a mithril rank party would be able to help her and as the only party currently in the dungeon was Rein\'s group she asked for their help.
That\'s how the conquerors\' next target changed from being the "Desolate Temple" to the "Pristine Seashore".
