“Amon!”

Seeing the arrival of her subordinate, Alyna opened her arms wide. She could not deny that she was glad Amon was still alive.

“I thought you were dead,” Alyna joked as she patted his shoulder.

Hissing, Amon dismissed her hand. “Hey, my shoulder still hurts. You know, fighting three demon lords at once was not kidding.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Alyna did not care, continuing to pat his shoulder with a smile on her face. A similar expression was also shown by Aries. The goat-headed demon was relieved that there were no casualties from their group.

Fighting Gavin and his men was no easy matter. With only four demon, being able to escape the clutches of the number one Demon Lord was an extraordinary achievement.

Of course, it was all thanks to Isaac.

Meanwhile, Isaac himself was still busy organizing the inventory. He was preparing to leave. What he was looking for had been obtained. There was only one thing left that he needed to do, then his entire objective in this event was complete.

“You want to go already?”

The goat-headed demon was watching Isaac.

“Yes,” he replied without turning his head. His attention was still on the system window. “We’re not far from the tower. Sooner or later they’ll come for us.”

“Yes, but we have some time to breathe and recover our strength. The impact of your hurricane magic, it’s no joke.”

Alyna heard their conversation and joined in. While Amon cleaned his body and changed his clothes.

“You’re too tense, Lord Isaac.”

Bowing his head with a sigh, for some reason Isaac felt that the two demons before him were taking Gavin lightly.

He turned his head, his face visibly tightening. “Trust me, my attack didn’t hurt him a bit. Underestimate him, it’s the same as looking dead. It’s not good to linger here.”

Alyna crossed her arms. Her facial expression said she didn’t like what Isaac said.

“You mean I have no chance of winning against him then?” The duchess’s words sounded fierce.

“I didn’t say that. Don’t twist my words. Gavin is with his army. He is at his full strength. He won’t waste the chance to kill you.”

The duchess growled. “You-“

“Lord Isaac is right.” Aries interrupted. “We are being separated from the others. We’d better get together with our allies soon. We don’t have a chance to beat them in our current situation.”

The demon Alyna trusted the most agreed with Isaac. Of course, she was upset. But she should have held back. Right now was not the right situation to show her selfishness.

The duchess looked at the ground while holding her waist. She sighed.

“So, what’s the plan?” asked Alyna, biting part of her lip.

“Like I said, get out of here.”

Alyna squinted. “Are you part of my group now? I asked to Aries.” A sarcastic remark came out of the mouth.

“Then, we’re not. You guys are free to do what you want. I’m leaving.”

After hearing the duchess’s unpleasant answer, Isaac left without a second thought. He walked into the forest, leaving behind the three demons he had survived. Not looking back at all.

Aries shook his head. He regretted Alyna’s impulsive action.

“We should have let him go. Now we owe his a favor,” the goat-headed demon muttered in a tone. He meant for the duchess to hear.

Alyna clucked her tongue.

“Hey? Did I miss something?”

With his lips pursed, Amon came up to them. His clothing looked better than before. Alyna and Aries just shook their heads.

“It’s nothing,” Aries said. “We’ll be leaving soon.”

“Okay.”

Then, the newly arrived demon squinted, glancing around. “Where is Isaac? I mean, Lord Isaac.”

“He left. We went our separate ways.”

Amon nodded. “Well, I didn’t get to say thank you. I would have died without his magic typhon.”

Plak!

“Aw! What the hell is wrong with you?”

A quizzical expression was written clearly on Amon’s face. He didn’t know why, but suddenly Alyna hit him on the shoulder.

Aries who saw it only sighed. While the red-haired woman waltzed away without saying anything.

“What’s wrong with her? Something hit her head, huh?”

The Earl was annoyed, rubbing his shoulder. The blow received was quite painful.

“Well, I don’t know either,” Aries retorted.

The goat-headed demon left after the duchess.

Sighing, Amon followed them. They left the Ant Kingdom’s territory, heading back to the surface.

“Chough! Chough!”

A lion-shaped demon with blue fur rose from the pile of rubble. He looked around, the ceiling seemed higher than before. He saw the crystals clinging to the top.

Then he realized that part of the tower had collapsed. Now he saw the belly of the cave directly.

“Damn it, the typhon… I failed to finish off Earl Amon.”

Thump!

A demon rose from the rubble, right next to Agrias.

“Damn it! Who casts high-scale magic in a place like this! Knowing this, I won’t hold back.”

That demon had the stature of a teenager. It had a small body, a squeaky voice, and blonde hair. On both of its arms were chains wrapped around.

“Are you okay?” asked Agrias.

“You think?”

The lion demon sighed. His attention returned to his surroundings.

The other demons had also risen from the piles of dirt and rubble of the tower. Just like the teenage demon, they were annoyed and cursing. Some quickly changed their clothes. Some approached the other demon.

Only the demons were able to survive the devastating typhoon. There was no sign of the surviving ants at all.

Agrias muttered, “So we lost them, huh? How unfortunate.”

Her eyes then fell on a demon standing by the tower. A silver-haired man. His hand seemed to be holding something. Something dangling, like a ball.

Agrias got up and approached that demon.

“Lord Gavin. Are you alright?”

Agrias stood right next to him. His eyes glanced at the object held by the duke.

It was a head. The head of the Antfolk Queen, Kailena. Her beautiful peak face looked terrified.

“Not now. I’m not in the mood to talk.”

A cold tone escaped Gavin’s mouth.

Agrias understood immediately. He nodded and remained silent.

“White-haired… pale-faced human. Who are you?”

The duke wrung his hands. Then he shouted loudly, all the anger pent up in his chest coming out. Agrias who was standing next to him just stayed silent with a flat expression. The other demons heard. Some seemed to bow their heads. Some were trembling with fear.

Gavin’s entire plan failed. None of the things he was after in the event fell into his hands. Spiritual Beast eggs, Qilin Babies, and even golden antfolk egg.

Worst of all, he had no idea who the person was who foiled his plan.

.

“Hatchu!”

His nose was so itchy that Isaac sneezed.

“Am I allergic to hay fever too?”

The demon made it out to the surface safely. A flower bed of various colors greeted him. The sky was dark, just as it had been underground. Some stars were beginning to lose their shape, a sign that it was already dawn.

“Alright, there are still 17 days left.”

“Kyu-kyu!”

Baby Qiling jumped from his clothes pocket. The tiny creature seemed to lick Isaac’s neck, occasionally spraying fire to him.

“Hoh, naughty monster. You stay inside. Don’t come out.”

“Kyu-kyu!”

Baby Qilin spouted fire, then went back into his pocket.

Isaac strode excitedly across the field of flowers. A big smile was plastered on his face.

He got all the treasures in this event. Even got an unexpected jackpot, the Antfolk golden egg.

The main objective completed, it was time for Isaac to level up.

After passing through the flower field, Isaac returned to the forest. Along the way, large monsters approached him. But the demon ignored him, some were killed. It’s not uncommon for him to run away too.

Not because he was afraid, but those big monsters didn’t give him anything. They were too weak. With his current level, Isaac must look for strong monsters. Of course, he also shouldn’t carelessly fight hordes of high-level monsters at once. Monsters above a hundred were different from monsters below level 50. At that range, Isaac could still face monsters that were two or three levels higher.

He had also determined a place that had a mountain of exp. Places that would boost his level quickly.

“Finally here.”

After a long and time-consuming journey, Isaac arrived at a crater. There was a small green lake there. The lake was steaming, a sign that the temperature was very hot.

However, hundreds of big-bodied monsters surrounded it. They drank from it, as if they were drinking fresh lake water.

Isaac arrived at the Pit of Devil, the lair of the elemental monsters.
