The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

As soon as Alcusus connected with the spatial rift by using that key like item, he immediately felt the vast power that the realm held. This feeling was very intoxicating and Alcusus felt like he was the almighty. But he knew that this feeling was just an illusion and losing himself in this illusory feeling was very dangerous.

So he composed his mind and started to control the key with all his might. This key allowed him to get some authority over the spatial rift but he was nowhere near controlling all of it. But he really went all out with the control and pushed this item a bit further he should be able to control the space around this area to attack Rein.

This whole process was quite long and to buy Alcusus some time, all the remaining demon gods including the injured one started attacking Rein like crazy. Rein had actually felt quite some danger when this key appeared so he definitely wanted to stop Alcusus before he could succeed in his plans.

But the all out resistance that the demon gods were putting up was actually successful in blocking Rein at least for a moment.

Alcusus knew that with Rein, he would not get a better chance than this to activate it so he also tried to finish all his preparation as soon as possible. Just as Rein had broken through the blockade of other demon gods, Alcusus was able to successfully activate the key.

In the strain of this process, a slight crack ran down the keys body and it was slightly damaged but Alcusus did not mind that. Actually he was extremely satisfied that the key was only damaged this little bit. So he looked at Rein with a gloating look as many spatial fissures appeared all around him.

As soon as Alcusus succeeded in doing whatever he was trying to do a chill ran down Rein's spine. After coming to this world, this was the first time when he felt this much danger to his life. Rein immediately stopped pursuing Alcusus and jumped back from his position. Immediately a black spatial fissure engulfed the place where he was.

But that was just the beginning. After this one spatial fissure, more and more spatial fissures started to appear targeting Rein from all directions. They were extremely hard to dodge and coming in contact with one was definitely extremely dangerous.

These spatial fissures were created by the rift itself. So to successfully block them, Rein needed the power to destroy the space of this area. That was actually something Rein was capable of doing but only with the boost of his rain gain. Now that he was unable to access the rain gain skill, these spatial fissures were dangerous for him.

While running away from the fissures, he tried to kill a few more demons but was unsuccessful as they had successfully evacuated during the time when Rein was busy dodging and fending off the attacks from the spatial rift itself. These attacks were so numerous that Rein did not have time to do anything else.

Now the situation had become a bit tough for Rein but still he was unwilling to just go back. Actually trying to go back in this kind of situation was more dangerous. For the time being, he was basically in the belly of the thing that was trying to kill him. So obviously the nearby node that he had used to come in had disappeared.

So if Rein wanted to go out, he needed to create a node himself by using brute force. Even though he was unable to easily break the space here, creating a node through the weak spot of the space was possible for him to do. But that would need quite some time which Rein currently did not have. The spatial rift had no intention of giving him that time.

But at the same time, Rein was actually getting used to the spatial fissure attacks. Even if this spatial rift had an independent will, it was definitely not a very aware one. So all the moves that it was making were powerful but simple. There was a pattern to these attacks and Rein started to understand them in this short period of time by his insane comprehension.

So soon he should be able to manage to counter attack after getting a bit more used to it. Rein was planning to use that chance to again kill off a few more demons. But if to mock Rein's plans, the spatial rift suddenly changed its attacks. From creating fissures to attack Rein it started to compress the space around him in order to crush him.

Rein felt immense pressure squishing him from all sides. His breathing became rough and his powerful body was on the verge of breaking. Rein understood that staying in the spatial rift anymore would be very dangerous for him and he needed to get out of here.

But because of the space compression, the space around him had become even harder to break and it looked like Rein was trapped in an inescapable trap.

But Rein had his own ways. Alcusus was not the only person who had powerful items as his trump cards. Rein took out two balls from his storage space and held them in both of his hands. One of the balls was purple in colour and it was the ball that' he had managed to find at the very beginning of his cultivation journey.

The other ball was golden and it was something he had managed to get his hands on during his time practicing in the Dimensional God temple.

These two items looked independent but were actually a part of each other. So when they were combined, only then they were able to release their strongest power. So as soon as Rein knocked those two balls against each other, immediately they started to fuse and a weird fluctuation radiated from them.

This slight fluctuation was so powerful that immediately the contracting space around Rein was pushed back. And as the fusion of those two items progressed more and more, the space around him began to stabilize and weaken.

Rein took this chance to go all out and used the item to directly create a hole in this area of space. He did not need to even search for a weak spot in the spatial layers because of how powerful the items in his hands actually were.

Before leaving the spatial rift through this hole, Rein made use to launch a last powerful attack on the demons using this same item in his hand and without looking at the result of that attack, Rein quickly left the spatial rift.
