The homunculus attacked blindly. They didn't care if the sword pierced or tore through their stomachs; they kept throwing themselves at the dozens of silver-armored troops.
On the other hand, the Nine Sky members seemed to have a hard time dealing with them. Not because they lost in terms of ability or power. The morale within them prevented the members from killing the homunculus. After all, they really did resemble humans.
They fought doubtfully. Only a handful of people dared to kill a homunculus in one powerful slash.
Isaac couldn't let things go like this.
"Don't hesitate to kill them! They're homunculus! Not human! They are monsters!"
The members of Nine Sky still hesitated even after hearing his words. Until finally Isaac drew his sword and slashed at the homunculus mercilessly.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
In a matter of seconds, ten homunculus died, splitting in two, and their pieces fell into a puddle of mud.
"If you don't kill them, your comrades will die!"
Seeing Isaac kill the homunculus to motivate her men, Wang Yi finally followed him. She quickly slashed every homunculus before her until the Nine Sky members dared to do the same thing. They slashed the homunculus in front of them with a little doubt that still harboured in their hearts.
The tide of battle instantly changed.
This time, Isaac was forced to take the initiative.
He knew that most of the Nine Sky members weren't ready to face off against a human-like monster. They were only trained to take down ordinary monsters. Thus, he had to set an example, otherwise they would be wiped out completely.
Isaac couldn't let his troops die in vain.
Only Wang Yi seemed to have no qualms about killing the homunculus. Isaac guessed that the woman had killed humans before.
Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon troops seemed to handle the attacks well. They slaughtered every homunculus without a doubt. The swords pierced the monster's stomach and cut through the flesh. Various kinds of magic were cast. They used whatever they could to finish them off.
Ling Tian looked active in the battle. The man led his members calmly.
The Golden Dragon was experienced on the battlefield against monsters that resembled humans.
Even though the forces of the Golden Dragon and Nine Sky were superior in battle, they beat back the homunculus with ease. However, Isaac felt something strange.
'Why is it so easy? Their appearance is strange and very weak. It is very different from in the past.'

The Homunculus that Isaac remembered was a monster that had a form identical to that of a human. Their skin and hair, it 100% resembled the living humans; not pale skin like a corpse. They had pigment, while the Homunculus they were currently fighting was more like an albino.
These were different homunculus.
'Is there another version of the homunculus? Or is this a low-class homunculus?'
The more he thought about it, the more questions filled his head. A smirk appeared on his face. He thought all of this was getting interesting.
Isaac then became more and more eager to kill the homunculus.
The people who watched Isaac had a look of astonishment on their faces. They began to think that the man was not human.
"Are he monsters?! How can he kill humans?"
"They aren't. The Golden Dragon also did the same. We also should slash them off completely."
"Miss Wang Yi believes him. So, he's not a random person."
In the end, they also took part in the battle.
The sky was starting to look bright. The black clouds above the sky lessened, and the rain stopped falling. The battle between humans and homunculus was over; with all the homunculus dead.
There was only one casualty in this battle. The poor man was from the Golden Dragon. The rest only suffered minor injuries.
This battle was more like a one-sided massacre.
"Damn it!"
Wang Yi looked drenched. Thanks to the rainwater, there was no blood stuck to her body, while the other members looked gloomy. Their faces were dark and their eyes were blank. They were really gloomy. Some of them even stared at the homunculus' corpse. Some vomited; Aditya was one of them. The same thing was also shown to the members of the Golden Dragon, a few of them were shaken.
Although they often took the lives of monsters, they almost never took the lives of humans.
This was their worst experience.
"Are you all right, Miss Wang Yi?"
Ling Tian walked over to Wang Yi. He held her shoulders to lighten her burden. However, the woman looked even better than he expected.
"You seem to be able to handle this?" Ling Tian asked. There was another question he wanted to ask, but he didn't ask it.
"Yes, that's how it is. But, I can be as good as him."
Ling Tian observed Wang Yi. The woman's eyes fell on Isaac who seemed to be wiping his sword, which was dirty with mud and blood. There was no expression on the man's face at all.
Ling Tian was amazed and more curious about Isaac. In his head he wondered, what was that man's mentality made of? He didn't know if Isaac was heartless or determined. Normal humans always felt regret every time they took the lives of others. However, Isaac didn't seem to have that. It was as if taking a life was normal for him.
Ling Tian wanted to approach the man, but he didn't have the courage to do so.
His instincts already said 'no'.
Meanwhile, Isaac was busy checking his weapon. The sword he used was an ordinary weapon that came from the Nine Sky armory. It wasn't artefacts or man-made artefacts. The blade's edge had started to become dull and jagged after being used to cut through many of the homunculus' bodies. From there he realized that the monster they had defeated just now had high defense.
'I should have brought more than one weapon. I can't rely on ordinary weapons. I underestimated them too much.'
Isaac then sheathed his sword. He couldn't use artefacts. The weapon had a special aura that could trigger the Dungeon Master. Even ordinary humans could feel it, let alone demons.
In the midst of the silence after the battle, there was suddenly a commotion.
His attention was diverted. A black-haired young man caught the attention of the Nine Sky members. Wang Yi looked visibly surprised to see him. Meanwhile, the man seemed happy to see Isaac.
"Brother Isaac!"
Guo Chen came along with the five missing members of Nine Sky.
