Thousands of dungeon monsters tried to block the movement of Isaac and his troops. They defended with all their strength, even if they had to sacrifice each other.
However, Isaac was completely unstoppable.
Blood splattered on the ground as Isaac moved to lead his troops. Baron Gustav's monsters were wiped out with ease, their defense line being ripped apart like cutting butter with a hot knife.
"Keep going! We're about to reach the teleportation gate!"
Hearing the commander's voice, the monster warriors grew excited. They speed up the movement. The flying monsters belonging to the enemy tried to hinder them. Gargolyes flying in the sky while carrying boulders and dropping them on Isaac's army could be seen from a distance.
As they swooped down, the stones shrunk to the size of pebbles and burned.
"Watch out, it's the burned stones! Prepare the defense!"
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The burned stones rained down on his troops like a meteor shower. They certainly didn't stand still. The monsters who were able to cast ice elemental magic quickly launched attacks. The mammoth waved its trunk, then shot a blue light at the stones.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
The burned stones that approached within a radius of 10 meters were quenched into ordinary pebbles, so that when the stones hit them, it felt like being thrown by ordinary stones.
"Keep moving to the teleportation gate. Ignore the gargoyles!"
They continued to move, following the commander's instructions. From a distance, Isaac finally saw a giant gate towering up.
A wide smile bloomed on his face.
'Finally, we have arrived. It's less than 4 hours.'
The average of the Demon Lords in conquering dungeons, for one floor at least, took one day. It was the ideal time after entering the third year. In the first year, it could take 2 to 3 days to conquer one floor.
Thanks to Isaac's past memories and the monster data he got from Nine Sky, the process went much faster.
Besides, deciding to cross the ravine was the right decision taken by Isaac. If he chose to take a detour or the valley route, then the subjugation could take longer.
Baron Gustav had already put his troops on the valley route. He was sure that Isaac wouldn't choose the shortcut by crossing the ravine. Or at least Isaac would choose a detour that would reduce his time limit.
However, Isaac didn't choose either of them.
He already knew choosing the valley path would only bring him death. Based on his war experience, the high ground position would always be advantageous, especially if he had a ranged assault troop. If Isaac and his troops chose the valley route, he would be in a low ground position, and Baron Gustav's troops would have been waiting on the cliff to launch an attack.
'Of course they will guard the teleportation gate.'
From a distance, thousands of monsters were seen guarding the teleportation gate. Most of them were savages and beast type monsters. Their killing intention and rage could be felt by Isaac.
He then ordered his men to speed up their pace.
"Prepare for a clash!" Isaac exclaimed.
"Graawwrrr!"
The enemy troops also did not remain silent. They also attacked. On their side, five mountain trolls the size of a two-story building were seen running at the very front.
<Information>
[Name : N/A]
[Race : Trolls]
[Type : Savages]
[Class : C]
[Level : 60]
On the shoulder of one of the trolls, Isaac couldn see the figure of a creature with a mighty posture. It had pale grey skin, a muscular build, and long hair that was tied in a ponytail. Its face was very ugly, with two fangs sticking out of its mouth.
<Information>
[Name : Gaviole]
[Race : Ogre ]
[Type : Boss ]
[Class : B ]
[Level : 80 ]
Isaac grimaced at the status information.
'He even put Lord Ogre on Floor 1? Baron Gustav, you really are funny.'
Thud!
"Kuaak!"
The mountain trolls hit the ground, killing at least 30 of Isaac's monsters. The first blood had been spilled. Then, the troops of monsters behind them came crashing down. Of course, Isaac's side didn't stand still. They quickly put up a fight.
A clash between the two group of monsters was inevitable.
Bam! Bam! Bam! The mountain trolls went on rampage, trampling the monsters like ants.
Slash! Slash! Splat! The orcs and hobgoblins swung their weapons, slicing flesh and chopping bones.
Splat! Splat! Splat! The hordes of chupacabra preyed on dozens of kobolds, tearing their bodies, bones, and skulls apart.
The werelion roared, swinging their giant axe. A group of lizardmen and lycans chased the weak monsters. Dozens of thunderbirds flew through the air, flashing lightning bolts.
The monsters kept killing each other.
Body parts scattered everywhere. The air was filled with the smell of blood and burning flesh, while the ground on which he stood turned muddy because of the blood.
Every second, the number of victims who died continued to fall, especially on Baron Gustav's side. His troops were unable to withstand the onslaught of enemy troops. They were increasingly overwhelmed when dealing with Isaac's two mainstay generals.
Fedorov fought like a thunder god. Armed with the dagger, he plunged into the sea of monsters and turned them into lumps of charred flesh. His body emitted lightning. Every creature that moved around was killed in seconds.
On the other hand, Byakko was the one that caught the most attention. She created a storm in the middle of the battlefield, sweeping away the enemy troops and sending them flying into the death. The monsters were terrified when faced with the female incarnate of the Spiritual Beast. Their instincts told them to run.
Meanwhile, Isaac just watched them. He did take part in the battlefield directly.
'Byakko, Fedorov... use this opportunity to become stronger.'
The reason he rejected Baron Gustav's challenge and preferred to challenge him was so that he could level up his two generals. By fighting in the enemy dungeon, the number of monsters Fedorov and Byakko could kill was unlimited.
In other words, this was a grinding ground to raise their level.
"LORD ISAAC!"
A wet and heavy, hoarse voice could be heard calling his name.
When Isaac turned his head, he saw an ogre with an axe in both hands. Its entire body was covered in blood, showing how many monsters it had killed.
"Graaawr!'
Isaac's monster warriors didn't stand still when seeing the monster not on their side approaching their master. They quickly attacked the ogre. Sabretooth, wendigos, and gnolls ambushed it simultaneously.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
Within seconds, body parts and blood splattered on the ground.
The ogre had been slaughtered by them.
"Lord Isaac, the noble of the Nether Realm. Come and fight me."
Isaac chuckled. "Well, I know you came here by the order of your master. But, I suggest you look for an equal opponent. For example, like the two of them."
He pointed at Fedorov and Byakko who were raging on the battlefield.
"Killing them was quite easy for me. I came here to fight with you, the demon."
Swooosh!
The ogre suddenly disappeared from its standing position. In a split second, the monster was in front of Isaac.
"Die, you arrogant demon!"
Slash! Splat!
Red blood spurted like a fountain. The head rolled, and the body fell to the ground.
"I told you, you'll regret it."
Gaviole, Lord Ogre, 1st Floor warden was killed in one slash. The monsters that sensed their boss was dead immediately panicked. They ran inside the teleportation gate, but Isaac and his troops didn't let them run away.
