[Pine Forest, 1st Floor of Isaac's Dungeon.]
Among the towering pine trees, three men were seen running with frightened faces. Two of them were tall, and the rest were fat. Their hair was black, in contrast to their pale white skin. Everything in front of them was cut down, whether it was shrubs or large rocks.
Now, their lives were in danger.
Right behind them, three monsters in the form of dogs chased them while drooling disgustingly.
"Ivan, you bastard! You said the dungeon here is safe. Why is there such a terrible monster?!" the fat man grumbled as he ran with difficulty. Sweat dripped down his face.
"Damn it! I shouldn't have followed you two, you fool!"
While running in the front, Ivan had a look of irritation mixed with anger on his face.
"Shut your mouth and quicken your footsteps, you idiot!"
The three of them continued to run as fast as they could, even though their legs hurt and their hearts felt like they were going to explode. If they stopped for even a second, they would become food for the monsters.
A pack of dog monsters chased the three of them fiercely. Saliva dripped down from their mouths. Their red eyes glowed eerily. And the thorns on their backs thrived like the hedgehog thorns.
"Blyat!"
Suddenly, the man named Ivan was entangled in the bushes, and he instantly fell to the ground. Then, his friends who ran behind him also fell because they got bumped by him, including the fat man. They piled on each other.
"Idiots, why did you guys fall?!"
"You idiot! Why didn't you dodge it?!"
"Fuck! You all shut up! Get out of the way!"
Ivan, who was at the bottom, groaned in pain. Meanwhile, the fat man seemed to have difficulty getting up because of his overweight body.
They fought like children.
Rrrrrgggg…
After hearing the growling of the dogs, they immediately fell silent.
"Good boy, please don't eat us, hehe..." The fat man grimaced in fear. His lips trembled violently.
But, the pack of dogs growled louder and louder. They drew near to the three Russian Hunters.
"You fat... don't suddenly move like that..." Ivan whispered.
The fat man swallowed hard. He got up slowly. After that, his friends also stood up one by one.
"Wrrrouff!"
"Waaaa!"
One of the dogs barked, making the fat man run spontaneously. The pack of dogs immediately jumped on them.
"You idiot—!"
"Waaa—!"
Splat! Splat! Splat!
"Arrrrg!"
Blood spurted onto the green grass, followed by the screams echoing throughout the forest.
Not far from their location, a man and a little girl watched the fateful event indifferently. The man just stared at it with a flat expression, while the little girl looked excited.
"Woah!" The little girl jumped up and down, her eyes shining as if she was about to get a new pet.
"What do you think, Pippi?"
"Wonderful, Lord! They run faster than direwolf and their bite force is stronger than direlion!"
Isaac whistled, then the dogs stopped eating the Hunters. They rushed to their master.
"Woof Wooof!"
In front of Isaac, the dog monsters acted like cute puppies. They sat down and wagged their tails. One of them immediately rolled on the ground when Pippi stroked its head.
"Kyaaaaa! Good boy~ good boy~ Come here and let Mama stroke your belly."
The other dogs immediately rolled on the ground, hoping to have their bellies petted too.
"They're so cute~! I've never seen this monster before! What are the names of these dogs, Lord?"
"Chupacabra."
A few minutes ago, Isaac created a D-class monster from a combination. The Chupacabra was a combination of five 'Coyotes (F)' and fifty 'Red-Eyed Hedgehogs (F)'.
Isaac needed to create a powerful army of monsters at a low cost. From the combination of the two monsters, it only cost at least 150 zenny, while all D class monsters cost 500 zenny for each one.
The Chupacabras certainly helped Isaac financially. He also had bought 100 dwarves at a price of 1000 for each.
Of course, Isaac didn't just create the Chupacabra, he also combined other D-class monsters; such as 'Sabretooth (D)', 'Raptor (D)', 'Hobogoblin (D)', and many more.
However, Isaac's plan to strengthen the Dungeon didn't just stop at adding middle-class monsters.
"Pippi, you trained them to hunt other humans. These dogs will not be used to fight head-to-head, we use them to prey on the Hunters. Understand?"
"Yes, my Lord!"
"Also, I want to rearrange the monsters that are guarding this dungeon. Secure the surrounding area. I don't want any distractions."
"Roger!"
As usual, Pippi put on a salute pose after receiving Isaac's orders. Then, she took the eight dogs to train them how to hunt the humans.
Isaac was left alone.
"Time to move the monsters."
Isaac opened the 'Control Panel.' He moved some weak monsters to the 3rd Floor. These monsters were moved because they were very weak and useless against humans. Their only role was to act as fodder to increase the level of novice Hunters.
Every single one of them was bought with zenny. There was no way Isaac would let them die in vain.
[Process…]
[Moved x684 'Slime (F)' to floor 3.]
[Moved x574 'Bloodsucker (F)' to floor 3.]
[Moved x1239 'Horned Rat (F)' to floor 3.]
[.. .]
'I replaced all monsters on Floor 1 with Beast-type monsters.'
Since Isaac currently had the title 'Chief of Beast', all Beast-type monsters would receive an additional 20% strength buff. Thus, he rearranged all the monsters in the Dungeon.
Of course, not all monsters on Floor 1 would be filled with Beast-type monsters. Some monsters in the forest that got buffed would be kept, such as goblins. Then, he shifted the position of the non-Beast-type monsters to the outskirts of the Dungeon and the places that were least visited by the humans.
Isaac wiped his sweaty forehead. "There's still 10 days left. I actually move them too fast, but I need them to get used to fighting against humans."
After taking 60 minutes, he managed to move all the weak monsters to the Upper Floor.
