After hearing Guo Chen's words, everyone in the cave became rowdy, especially Wang Yi. The woman almost let out a scream, but Guo Chen quickly shut her mouth.
Wang Yi instantly snapped the man's hand away. "Let go! Why the hell are you doing?"
"I should be the one asked that. What are you doing? You can wake up the Alpha."
Then, Wang Yi shut her mouth and wiped her lips. She looked away from Guo Chen. Ling Tian looked stunned. He did not expect the little girl who was sleeping so soundly as the Alpha.
The dungeons never ceased to surprise them.
Everyone in the cave was silent. They tried to process the situation. Only Isaac seemed to understand what to do.
Ling Tian took a deep breath. After that, he drew his sword. Guo Chen understood the man's intentions and quickly blocked him.
"Stop it!"
"Get out of the way! We must kill her immediately."
Guo Chen opened his eyes wide. "We've already killed a lot of adult homunculus. Are we going to kill a child too?"
"A child?" Ling Tian snorted. "Don't treat that monster as if it were a human. She is not a human child. She's a homunculus. A monster born from the dungeon. That creature has probably killed dozens of us."
"The little girl is different. She can communicate and understand us. You can't just kill her. Besides, we've already killed too many of them. Should we really kill the little girl too?"
"What is the difference? Monsters are still monsters. Then, why don't you all spare all the baby monsters in the dungeon? We kill them every day. There's only one monster that looks the same as us, and you want to spare her? Don't tell me we have to apply double standards on the monsters…"
Ling Tian didn't know how a dungeon monster could sleep so soundly under the hunter's protection. All he knew was the monster had to be killed immediately.
On the battlefield, anything could kill them.
He then pushed away Guo Chen who stood in his way. The man then fell on the ground, then he quickly grabbed Ling Tian again. Tension was unavoidable when Guo Chen also drew his sword.
"You drew a sword at your own comrade?" Ling Tian's words sounded low, but full of threats.
"We just met."
Ling Tian snorted. He had no idea what he had just heard.
On the other hand, Guo Chen didn't care if the man in front of him was Six Star or the one who got the title of the strongest hunter in China. He just wanted to stop the man from killing the little girl.
The two of them started to glare at each other. The atmosphere was really tense.
Guo Chen then glanced at Wang Yi, asking for support. However, Wang Yi still kept her mouth shut. She couldn't defend her men, because what Ling Tian said was true.
No matter what form it took, a monster was still a monster. They had to be killed or humans would die.
This was the law in the dungeon. Kill or be killed.
Wang Yi could only look away.
"What…"
Disappointment rose on Guo Chen's face. Then, he looked at Isaac, hoping for support. He was sure the man would not let him down.
Isaac sighed.
"If you want to fight here, you will wake up the Alpha. I don't know how much power she has, but if the previous guild's entourage let her live, there must be a reason."
Guo Chen quickly showed a bright expression. His hope was not wrong. Meanwhile, Ling Tian just tightly squeezed the hilt of his sword. He didn't agree, but he couldn't argue back. Because what Isaac had said made sense. Three thousand hunters couldn't possibly lose to a monster that had the form of a little girl like that.
Finally, Ling Tian sheathed his sword. He chose to give in.
Seeing the fighting subside, Isaac quickly spoke up.
"You all better get out. Get some fresh air and clear your head. You are still comrades. Guo Chen, tells Wang Yi and Leader Ling Tian the chronology. I think we should understand the situation first before making a decision."
Guo Chen smiled triumphantly. He also sheathed his sword.
Ling Tian left first, his face was bitter, then followed by Wang Yi. They had seen too many things today.
"Brother? How about you?"
"I'll be on guard here." Isaac turned to the hunter who was in charge of guarding the little girl. "You can get some fresh air too. I'll stay here."
"Alright, if that's what you want."
The man didn't obey Isaac, he just didn't want to stay longer in the cave with the Alpha.
Then, Guo Chen and the guard left. Isaac remained in that place with the Alpha.
Isaac walked over to the homunculus. He crouched down and looked at the little girl's face. At first glance, the creature really looked like a human child.
Then, a smirk appeared on his face.
"How long are you going to keep pretending to be asleep?"
The little girl was still sleeping soundly.
Isaac snorted. He then gripped her neck tightly.
"Keeuggh!"
Instantly, the girl's eyes opened wide. She glared at Isaac. Instead of being in pain, the little girl smirked like a demon.
"Kukuku… I thought all humans were stupid. In the end, my cover was blown."
Her voice was the opposite of her appearance. A grown man's deep voice escaped her mouth.
"Well, I'm not stupid enough to be tricked by such a lowly homunculus."
<Information>
[Name: Aman]
[Race: Homunculus]
[Type: Savages]
[Class: B]
[Level: 50]
That girl was Aman. She was the special homunculus, but not a boss.
As a Dungeon Master, Isaac had learned various characteristics of every monster in the dungeon, even uncommon monsters like Caecilian or homunculus. The only thing that monsters had in common was that once they had a master, they had no will of their own.
They would do whatever their master told them to do. They would have no empathy or feelings for humans.
Therefore, a ridiculous trick like this would not work on a Demon Lord.
"I have to admit, you are amazing. I don't know how you can trick 3000 hunters who have high greed, and even claim to be the floor guard boss. You have my appreciation."
Aman laughed even though Isaac still strangled her neck. "You also seem different from the stupid humans out there. There is no doubt at all in your eyes. You're great. Alas, you have failed. Your comrades will not survive. Lawrence will send them to their deaths."
Aman laughed loudly. She tried to mock Isaac, but she was wrong about one thing.
"But, they can still live if you follow my orders."
Aman smirked even though her breathing almost stopped.
However, Isaac just chuckled. Of course, this raised questions for Aman.
"Why are you laughing? What is so funny?"
"You're the funny one."
Aman's eyes opened wide. The grip on her neck tightened. Her head started to feel dizzy.
"Keeugh."
As time went on, the grip on Aman's neck got strong. Her eyes were about to pop out. The man who was choking her stared at her intently. She then saw horror in the man's eyes. Instantly, fear crept through her body.
She felt the same sensation when dealing with her master.
"Keegh… who are you? You… want your comrades dead, huh? You think I'm playing around?"
Isaac paid her no heed. He continued to strangle her and tighten his grip.
"I don't care if they die or survive. I just want to enjoy this."
"!!!"
Isaac didn't care about this rescue mission. He didn't care whether Nine Sky was destroyed again or Wang Mei died. In the first place, he didn't come for them.
He came for another reason.
"You homunculus are interesting creatures. I want you guys, but I don't know how to get them. So you have to help me get it."
From those words, Aman quickly understood who she was dealing with. The person before her was not human.
But the Demon Lord!
Instantly, the homunculus kept struggling. She clawed at Isaac's arm and tried to free herself. However, the difference in their strength was like heaven and earth.
"Now, be an obedient dog," said Isaac.
He touched his own forehead, then a red flame appeared on his fingertips. Isaac then pressed it against the homunculus' forehead.
A Seed of Mind was being implanted into Aman's head.
The monster in the form of a little girl continued to struggle until finally the red light disappeared. She then stopped moving.
Isaac let go of his grip. A smile appeared on his face.
Aman then knelt down and lowered her head.
"Forgive my impudence. I am at your service, Lord Isaac."
From now on, the homunculus became his slave.
