Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master

[A few hours earlier.]

"Isaac? Why are you here?"

Queen Kaileena looked surprised at his appearance. He should have stayed in the room. She ordered her guards not to let Isaac out.

Kaies who stood next to the Queen seemed to cross her arms with skepticism written on his face.

Isaac smiled slightly. "Sorry to take you by surprise, Queen. But right now, I can't just stay in the room while you guys fight alone against the demons. After I thought about it... it's better to help you. My condition has been restored thanks to your healing magic."

The reason Isaac joined the attack was because he wasn't sure they would be able to give him much time to secure Alyna. After seeing how undisciplined the antfolk warriors were, he was skeptical that his first plan would go smoothly.

Instead of the positive answer or response he expected, Kaileena wore an astonished expression. Her brows furrowed.

"Yes, I appreciate your concern, but that's not what I meant. How did you get past the 20 guards I put in place to guard you?"

Twenty antfolk warriors were not random monsters. They were at a fairly high level.

Isaac formed his mouth into the letter 'O'. He thought that Kaileena wouldn't think of such a detailed thing. Of course, he had already prepared an answer to this kind question.

"They were stubborn. So I knocked them out. You know, I'm pretty good at fighting. But compared to demons... maybe I need extra effort."

Hearing the answer he gave, the queen narrowed her eyes. She sensed something was wrong with Isaac. Kaileena glanced at her right hand, Kaies, that antfolk warrior seemed to shake his head, signaling not to believe Isaac's words.

Isaac saw it the way they communicated.

Then, another antfolk warrior came over to them.

"Your Grace, Captain Kaies. All soldiers have been counted. 500 antfolk warriors. 2000 antfolk workers. They have also been armed. Ready to go to battle."

The demon saw that the news that had just come distracted the queen. She seemed to be prioritizing the upcoming battle over this matters.

"Alright." The Queen's gaze turned to Kaies. "It's time for us to go."

The Chief Queensguard, as well as the leader of the antfolk warriors, bowed his head. "Yes, your grace."

"We'll discuss this after the battle. Let's go, Isaac," Kaileena Added.

The Queen went first, then Isaac and Kaies followed up. They walked side by side.

That antfolk warrior still couldn't believe Isaac.

"I don't know how you can make the Queen trust you. But I don't. After this battle, don't expect you to get away," Kaies whispered. After that he left.

Hearing the scolding, Isaac just chuckled. He didn't care whether Kaies believed him or not. It didn't matter if the Queen suspected him. He also didn't care about the consequences that would come.

Because, there was nothing after the battle.

[Now.]

Isaac's eyeballs rolled quickly. The demons seemed to draw their weapons as he and the thousands of antfolk troops charged over.

One of the black-robed demons took out a magic wand. Hands waving, a magic circle appeared in the air. Not long after, the wind blew fiercely, pushing back thousands of antfolk troops.

Isaac took action quickly. He aimed his pistol at the demon. "Obstacle!"

Bam!

The mana bullet shot out at high speed, piercing through the strong wind.

Creack!

The magic wand fell. The magic circle vanished and the wind stopped blowing. The black-robed demon cursed as his hand bled from Isaac's bullet.

"Kill!"

Thousands of antfolk devoured the black-robed demons.

Floating in the air, Gavin watched as his men were mobbed, shouting, "Finish them off! The plan's changed! Kill them!"

At the same time, Lady Alyna took the opportunity to attack Gavin whose his attention was divided.

Swung! Swung! Swung!

The large scythe swung quickly, aiming for Gavin's neck. Unfortunately, he had expected it beforehand.

Gavin stared at the red-haired woman with fiery eyes. "Did you do this on purpose, Alyna? You set us up on purpose."

Alyna smirked. "You think?"

Feeling that he had just been tricked, the first-ranked duke let out a powerful aura.

"I thought you were an honorable noble. Turns out you're just the same."

Alyna's grin vanished, her face turned serious. She did not stay still. All the mana left in her body was mobilized.

"Bring it on!"

Then, both darted towards each other. A violent clash between the two dukes was inevitable.

The two of them fought it out.

Watching the two dukes fight from below, Isaac furrowed his brow in frustration. He planned to get to the duchess as soon as possible, but since they were fighting it out, it would take him a long time.

"Tch... is she losing her mind," Isaac muttered.

Besides, the great hall had turned into a bloody battlefield. The black-robed demons, they were all Earl-ranked noble demons. Most of the antfolk were workers who had no fighting experience. Of course, they were no match for them.

The robed demons slaughtered anything that got in their way. There was a demon who carried a shield and spear, single-handedly able to kill dozens of antfolk with a single stab. There was a demon who used a mace, brutally crushing the head of every antfolk. Not only with weapons, there were also demons who used crystal balls, casting fire spells and burning hundreds of antfolk in an instant.

The sound of screams, the smell of burning, fishy, smoke, metal clashing echoed in the room.

Isaac was in the middle of a killing field rather than a battlefield.

"As expected, they won't be able to deal with 12 high-ranking noble demons. But it didn't matter, I have plenty of time."

Suddenly, a black-robed demon leapt towards him amidst the sea of anfolk warriors. That demon appeared to be holding a pair of daggers, both pointed at Isaac.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Splat! Splat!

The wind whistled. Dozens of antfolk died in the blink of an eye. Luckily, Isaac had time to avoid it.

That black-robed demon was heard snickering after seeing the target he was about to kill was alive.

Hundreds of antfolk quickly surrounded him, pointing spears at that demon. Although they won in numbers, their expressions looked tense, their hands trembling. It was hard for them to try to remain brave after seeing how their comrades died at that demon's hands.

"You're agile too for a weak demon," said that demon in a condescending tone.

Isaac remained calm. "I'm not agile. You're just slow. Stop acting like a coward. Open your robe, dummy."

Laughter escaped from the black-robed demon's mouth. The antfolk looked astonished and creeped out at the same time.

The black robe revealed, the demon showed his true face.

It was a tall man with light armor covering his body. His face looked rough, brave, and arrogant. He had blue hair, amber eyes. His two large hands held a dagger tightly.

Seeing that demon's appearance, Isaac quickly recognized who he was.

"Earl Astaroth, it's a pleasure to meet you in person."

Astaroth snorted. "You know my name, but unfortunately I don't know who you are. And I don't want to know the name of the walking death."

After saying so, that demon darted quickly towards Isaac. The antfolk tried to hold him back, but they all died at his hands.

Eventually, Astaroth arrived before Isaac.

"HAHAHAHA! Gotcha, you bastard!"

Slash! Slash! Slash!

The dagger struck so fast that the wind whistled. Isaac was able to dodge the attack, but the mortal ring still around his neck was quite difficult. Dozens of antfolk in the vicinity were killed by Astaroth's ferocity.

"Hahaha! Keep dodging like a loser!"

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Splat!

More and more antfolk died at Astaroth's hands. That demon laughed with blood running down his face.

However, no matter how fast Astaroth swung his dagger, not a single one managed to land on Isaac's body.

This annoyed Astaroth.

"Keep dodging like a loser! You're a fighter aren't you."

Dodging a deadly dagger cut, Isaac casually replied, "This is the difference between a fighter who uses brains and not."

"Damn it!" Astaroth was getting angry.

The second round of life made Isaac a veteran. He had fought a lot of demons, various defeats and victories he had tasted. Every failure he experienced in his previous life was deeply imprinted on his flesh. He knew the characteristics of the demons' fighting style.

Astaroth was an assaassin. Demons like them had a focus stat on Dexterity and attacked at weak points; such as the neck, heart, veins. They tend to kill, unlike warriors who tend to fight. So it was easy for Isaac to anticipate the attack before it came.

Besides, the reason Isaac kept dodging was because he had other plans.

As the battle was heating up, suddenly the surrounding walls exploded.
