The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak
Chapter 67: Ch 67: Hikari's Plans for the Future

This time when Hikari woke up, she found herself to be completely refreshed. Her pain was completely gone and her whole body was filled with power. She had never felt like this after awakening to her immortality inherent special ability.

Looking around she found that inside the room where she was sleeping, there were four other people other than her. One of them was obviously the man to whom she had given her complete trust to. Other than him the three remaining people present in the room were beautiful girls.

One of them had blonde hair and green eyes. From her ears it was evident that she was not a human but an elf which was extremely rare to replace in this country. Another girl had dark hair and violet eyes. She also had fluffy animal ears on her head.

There were a few beastkins living in this nation so Hikari had seen them before. So from her experience, she was most probably a dog or a wolf beastkin.

The last girl looked a lot like a person who would be living in a nation with a similar culture as the country of Wu, so Hikari judged her to be a local. She looked like a human but her expressions were nonexistent. But all three of the girls were extremely beautiful and charming.

Seeing them getting intimate with Rein she felt something she had never felt before. She felt jealous. She also wanted to get head pats by Rein just like the beast girl was getting. She also wanted to snuggle up close to him like the elf girl.

And Hikari was very much in need of putting her head on Rein's lap like the local girl.

Seeing her waking up, all of them stood up and came close to her bed. Then Rein started to introduce Hikari to everyone while patting her head. After knowing that two of the girls were Rein's lovers and another one was Rein's property, Hikari felt like she also wanted to be Rein's lover and property.

But she was not going to confess her feelings right now.

She was not sure if this feeling was momentary or she truly wanted to become Rein's property. So she decided to make a final decision after she was able to take her revenge. For the time being, just like before, Hikari was going to put all her focus into somehow getting her revenge.

...

All the girls accepted Hikari without any problem. They all were quite sad after knowing about her circumstances. But they really had no reason to help her as for the time being she was nothing more than a stranger to them.

And helping her taking revenge would also not fulfill her true desire for taking revenge by her own hands.

Rein was quite fond of this girl. Her situation was very similar to Rein's own and both of them awakened their powers when they were on the verge of death. Not only that but both of them also lost their families in an unfortunate incident.

The only main difference between them was that Rein's abilities gave him high power but Hikari's ability was not combat oriented at all.

That was the reason Rein somehow wanted to help this girl. This ability called immortality had a lot of potential. Even though it looked like this this ability did nothing but to give an unlimited amount of lifespan.

But one had to understand that having an unlimited amount of lifespan was a huge thing.

There were various techniques that used lifespan as the price. And for most of the time, the amount of boost that a lifespan burning technique provided was greater than most other techniques.

If someone really had an unlimited amount of lifespan then that person definitely had extremely high potential of power growth.

Obviously Hikari did not know about any techniques that were able to utilise her lifespan. She was quite young and her Amanogawa family was not influential or powerful enough to own anything of that value.

This was the reason why Hikari was as weak as a normal little girl even though she had a very powerful and broken ability. She never had anyone on whom she could rely on after her family members were killed.

But now she had the support of people she was able to believe and what an insanely powerful support was.

Rein himself had several techniques that used lifespan and life force as the fuel. Even though Rein technically did not have an unlimited amount of lifespan, his lifespan was able to recover.

So if his complete lifespan was not exhausted within a single moment then his lifespan was actually practically infinite.

Rein had used these life burning skills a lot when he just started his life. But nowadays he never deployed these skills in the battles anymore. That was because his powerful elemental magic now provided him with boosts with way better results than what he was getting from the life burning techniques.

But now again, these techniques might be able to see the light of the day with Hikari and her immortality.

Rein gently told all these things to Hikari while all five of them were having a meal. In the last five years, Hikari was hungry most of the time. There were very few times when she managed to get her hands on sufficient food to satiate her hunger.

But now she was suddenly given extremely tasty food cooked by none other than the man on whom Hikari had a crush on and the food itself was so tasty and amazing that she had not eaten food this delicious even when she was a daughter of a rich family.

So she hurriedly gulped all the food down while still taking enough time to enjoy the taste of the food.

She was also listening to what Rein was explaining to her. She was very happy to know that she was able to become stronger because of her immortality. This thing was almost like a curse to her so far that just kept her alive even when she was alone and just wanted to die.

But now as this ability had the power to help her in taking revenge, she was starting to like it a little bit.

This was the first time she had seen any hope which might allow her to take revenge.

So far even though Hikari was always trying to replace a chance to take her revenge, she knew in the heart that what she would be able to do with her weak body would not amount to much even if she miraculously managed to replace a perfect opportunity. But now she had hope.

After finishing her meal and satisfying her hunger she thanked Rein for providing her with such a delectable food. Her sickly complexion and thin frame had already improved a bit, so if she kept eating enough nutritious food from now on, her constitution would soon become normal.

Rein was looking forward to seeing a completely healthy Hikari.

After thanking Rein for food, Hikari protested herself on the floor in dogeza style and asked Rein to teach her the techniques that could make her stronger. She wanted power. She needed power. She was determined to take revenge with her own hand.

Rein held her and made her lift her head up. Then he hugged her and said in a very gentle voice -

"Hikari chan, you don't have to kneel before me while asking for anything.

We know that you've lost your dear dear family and there is no way for us or anyone else to replace that, but I will be very happy if you can give me and my lovers a little bit of space in your heart and think of us as a second family. Feel free to ask me or your big sisters anything you want.

If we are able to fulfill your request, we will help you. If we can't fulfill your request we will reject it. So feel free to ask us whatever you want."

Getting comfortable by her crush in such a gentle way, the dam stopping Hikari's tears broke and she started crying like a little girl after a long time. After she had stopped crying Rein told her what he had planned for her.

Rein was going to send Hikari to one of his wives. This wife was actually managing the underworld of a decently powerful nation and she was one of the first few women with whom Rein had a relationship with.

She was also the only woman who was not a virgin when she became Rein's lover and she was always frustrated about the fact that she was not able to lose her virginity to Rein. Her name was Leonora and this red headed beauty was an extremely powerful blue grade transcendental individual.

Under her Hikari would be able to learn a lot. She needed to not just master the life burning techniques but also she needed to have combat practice and the ruthlessness to kill her enemy at any cost.

This was not something that a 15 year old could easily learn not Hikari had a good base with the experience of her days on the streets. The life burning techniques were extremely painful so she needed to increase her pain tolerance even more too.

Just like that, Hikari decided to train under Leonora for some time to get stronger and the conquerors would go challenge the "Deity's Resting Ground" dungeon just as they had planned. When Hikari would have enough power to take the revenge, all of them promised to watch over her.
