The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After telling Rein about how the demons had suddenly gotten so much stronger, next Suzu started to explain the current situation of the demon race. According to what she found out from the memories of this demon god, there were 5 others who had the similar position as him.

As for the first demon who actually found the spatial rift, he was in a higher position than all of them. He was calling himself the demon sovereign and treated all the other demons as his properties. Obviously most of the demons did not like this fact and tried to fight him. But this guy was quite strong and he was able to defeat all the challengers who challenged him.

This demon god was also one of the people who was angry with this demon sovereign's attitude and challenged him in battle. But like all the other demon gods, he also failed in defeating this person. From the memories of the fight itself, Suzu saw that this demon sovereign had a special type of energy that was very versatile.

That demon sovereign also had good battle senses and he was able to specifically target the weak points of his opponent. So getting the victory was not that hard for him. After learning about that battle in more detail, Rein was sure that this demon sovereign had at least two skills.

One related to the special energy he was able to control and the other skills was an eye related power that allowed him to see all those weak points.

He was definitely going to be a tough opponent even for Rein if he did not use the rain gain skill. Even without the rain gain, Rein was still most probably the strongest among the humans. So it just showed how overpowered this demon sovereign actually was.

Just six more demon gods were actually not a big trouble as the human side had almost 6 to 7 times their numbers. But the individual strength of the demon gods were also stronger. But still the situation sounded more manageable now.

But Suzu then warned that in the future this situation would only get more and more terrible. That was because there were actually more than 30 demons who were just one step away from becoming a demon god. They were growing at a rapid pace and were speculated to become gods in about two to three years.

Even if only 50 percent of them were able to become demon gods, that would spell disaster for all of humanity.

Rein told Suzu to not worry about it as even with the increase in their numbers, Rein was still very much capable of taking care of them without much trouble. And if what Rein was thinking was true, then in the near future Rein had to take care of all these demons.

After calming down, Suzu finally started to tell Rein about what this demon god knew about the spatial rift. It turned out that even as a fearsome demon god, it actually did not know much. Even the demon sovereign who had discovered it was unable to find all the secrets about this place. But he at least knew how to enter and exit the spatial rifts.

For the regular demons, there were specific areas where they could go and wish for the spatial rifts to let them enter. Those specific areas were actually some points where the rift had left a node and using that node it was also able to bring the demons in.

There were actually three types of nodes. One of them was just able to allow the demons to enter and the other one allowed them to only exit, very few nodes were capable of performing both of these actions.

The demon sovereign had a spatial item that allowed him to set some kinds of rules so that only demons were able to enter the rift and that was reason why the humans had never managed to find a way to enter the spatial rift.

It was impossible for a human to enter the spatial rift from a one sided node without forcing it open but that would not be the case with the nodes which were two sides. And fortunately, this demon god actually knew about three such nodes.

This was definitely a very important information for the human race. In the current moment, these demons were still not in their perfect state and the humans had clear superiority over them. But that would not be the case after a few more years. With their insane growth rate, it was very much possible for the demons to actually surpass the humans in combined powers.

After thinking about it for some time, Rein decided to tell the higher ups of the human race about what he found out. Rein was not really trying to hide his powers or anything and in the current situation there was almost no one who could defeat Rein. So Rein decided to be straightforward with his current powers.

...

Alcusus was training in a secret area of the spatial rift when suddenly he felt a chill running down his spine. He immediately went into full alert and looked all around him. But still he was unable to see anyone or anything except for himself. That was perfectly normal as no one other than Alcusus actually knew about the existence of this place.

Even though Alcusus was the first demon to become a demon god in this era of rapid growth, he was not really special from the other demons. His powers were also on the similar levels as the current demon gods. But still he was able to stand above everyone else and was able to declare himself to be the Demon Sovereign. The reason behind that was this special place where he currently was training.

Alcusus was able to find this spatial rift purely by chance and even managed to find an item called control panel that allowed him to somewhat manipulate various things about this rift. This spatial rift was extremely mysterious and Alcusus was still not aware of all it's secrets but whatever little secrets he was able to find out and utilise, they immediately benefitted him greatly.

This training area had some kind of mysterious function that could continuously strengthen his skill itself. Yes, not his cultivation but his skill. So that made him stronger and stronger. He actually only had one skill when he became a demon god but now he was even able to awaken a second skill which was unheard of.

Having a second skill from birth was not that big of a deal. It was rare but many demons had that. But awakening another skill this late in life was almost unheard of.

That was the reason why Alcusus was so taken in by this spatial rift. But now for the first time he suddenly felt that his life was in danger even though he was still inside the spatial rift, which made him very surprised. So immediately he started to investigate if there was some kind of anomaly present here.

A great danger was approaching the demons.
