The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After getting out of the restaurant, they started to run toward a higher district which was the centre of this trouble. Very soon with more sources of information around it and many people talking about what was happening, Rein was soon able to find out what was the problem with the situation.

It was the work of some kind of terrorist organisation. There were quite a few of them in almost every nation and they were like pests. Most of the time those organisations were not very powerful or influential so were unable to do much but it turned out that one such organisation of this nation was getting help from a neighbouring hostile country and were quite strong.

As they were the one who had made the move, the city defence was having a tough time against them.

As for what these troublesome people had done, they had actually stolen, two of the five magic devices that were responsible for making the rock wall beside the waterfall to be stronger.

As the city itself was creating quite a huge load on that wall with all the developments it was having in recent times, without the support of the magical devices, the rock walls would not be able to hold on any longer.

With the three remaining devices working on overdrive, they were still able to somehow keep the rock wall from crumbling but no one knew how long it would last. Obviously the people of the city defence were trying to chase those terrorists to get the device back but they were unable to use any powerful magic or martial arts as that might break the wall.

So that was the main reason why they were still unable to catch the culprits.

Rein immediately focused on his senses and started to find large sources of mana. As those people had stolen a powerful magic item, it was definitely giving off a large magical presence. Just as Rein expected, he was soon able to find two groups who were running in the city with that kind of magical presence.

They had probably done something to keep the mana of those items to not be very recognisable but it was nothing before Rein. So he immediately decided to get rid of this nuisance before continuing with his date.

Just as he was about to teleport to the location of the criminals, Anna patted his shoulder and said that she was going to take care of the other group. Rein was planning to take care of one of the groups very first before going after the second group himself as he did not want to disturb Anna with such a minor thing.

But seeing that Anna was motivated to do it, he immediately nodded his head and both of them teleported away.

...

A group of four men and one woman was running away from a bunch of guards chasing after them. The largest person among them was carrying a large item as big as his own body on his back while running away. This large item was the very magical device that was keeping the rock wall from crumbling.

They had used a magic clothing to mask the magical presence of this item and were somewhat successful in doing that but at the same time they were also not able to completely hide the massive magical signature that this item had. So they were doing their best to run away from the city as soon as possible.

The only lady of this group was the initial scout sent to this city by their organisation. She was very familiar with the roads and currently she had the responsibility to guide all the other members of her group to the outside of the city.

But suddenly a person appeared before them from a side alley. The roads that the scout lady had chosen were very remote and isolated. So there was a very slim chance of someone suddenly appearing so it took them by surprise. But not for long as immediately one of their members moved to eliminate that person.

He attacked with a medium sized sword and this sword was actually a magical item. From this it was evident that the organisation behind them was quite rich if it was able to equip all its members with magical weapons, even though the quality of the weapon was subpar at best.

.

Everyone had expected that the suddenly appearing red haired man to die but that person moved even faster and knocked the attacking man out in no time. That immediately alerted the other people that this person was not simple and all of them got ready for a battle.

But the red haired man just used a magic spell and golden chains made of light suddenly appeared and binded all of them. Then a little bit of red lightning passed through all the chains which made everyone to lose their consciousness.

Obviously that person was Rein and he started to wait for the people from the city defence to show up while waiting in that same spot with five unconscious people.

...

As for on the other side, there were also five men running away. After stealing the magic devices, both of the teams had gone different ways to make the city guards more confused. The man leading this group was not as familiar with the city as the woman leading the other group, but he at least knew about the route that they should take to get away from the city.

But for that reason, this group was coming across many more people and had already killed a few civilians who were unfortunately enough to get on their way. But at the same time many adventurers living in the city were also going after them, so this group was in a lot of danger.

Just as these people used a one time used magic item to create a smokescreen to run away from the guards and the adventurers, Anna appeared before them. With her sudden appearance out of nowhere, those people became very confused and lost their brief window of chance to run away.

That made them very angry and they immediately tried to vent that anger on the lady who was responsible for this blunder and attacked her in full force. The other adventurers cried out in alarm to warn that lady.

But suddenly all of them stopped as a sword flashed and even before anyone could recognise what had happened, all five of the men had their heads separated from their bodies. Actually, Rein was not the only one who was angry with the interruption on their date and this was the result of that.
