Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master

Several familiar faces seemed to be paying attention to him. Among them was Duke Barbatos, the eighth-ranked demon, who looked at Isaac with a sharp gaze. Intimidation seemed to be aimed at him. Likewise with his right-hand man, Baron Loke, that man seemed to stare at him with a cynical gaze.

On the other hand, the demoness who had made a pact with him didn't seem to notice him at all. Her eyes were still glued to the flames. It was as if the two of them had never met. She had not considered Isaac to be an ally before he reached rank 50.

"This event is going to be tough," Isaac muttered.

Isaac would not have any allies in this event. After he finished off Baron Gustav and was unwilling to give up the dungeon in Beijing, of course his relationship with Duke Barbatos had deteriorated. It was not impossible that at this event he would be targeted by the burly demon.

However, with the death of Earl Xenovia, Isaac can breathe a little easier.

The death of the demonesse made Isaac bet that Duke Barbatos would not attack him. The Duke had lost two of his allies and a dungeon. If he killed Isaac in the event, the two dungeons in Beijing and the tripoin border would automatically collapse.

The death of a demon lord in an event was considered a disqualification. All of his assets were not handed over to the demon that killed him, as they were not participating in PvP or in the dungeon in question.

Therefore, killing Isaac was tantamount to weakening Duke Barbatos' territory defenses. The North and East China regions would be vulnerable to non-PvP attacked.

Isaac was confident enough to survive the first event. Nevertheless, he still had to be careful. The situation could change quickly, given that Duke Barbatos was a demon with a bad temper.

"I can't be reckless. I have to stay away from them, just in case."

The golden flames on the altar suddenly grew larger.

Stepping back, the demons opened their eyes wide. They felt a sense of life in the flames before them. Not long after, a female figure appeared in the golden flames.

She had dark skin and a white cloth wrapped around her body. Her dangling silver-colored hair was covered by a thin shawl. Her eyes were purple like the light emitted by a power crystal. Several demons looked mesmerized at her beauty.

But not a few of them flashed a look of disgust. Especially the demonesses. Duchess Alyna and Duchess Valefar hissed softly. Some of the male demons also sighed. It was as if they knew the rottenness of the heart hidden by the beautiful female angel.

The angel seemed to be floating while spreading her wings of flames.

Isaac grinned at the sight.

"You haven't changed. Always loved being the center of attention."

The golden flames died out, and the angelic woman stood at the altar.

"Welcome to the first event of the game, ladies and gentleman. I, Uriel, will be your guide for this event."

The demons inhaled deeply. Strained looks appeared on their faces as their chests puffed out. The angel seemed to watch them for a moment.

"This event is the Easter Egg Hunt."

The demons opened their ears wide.

"All of you are currently in a dimension called Yggdrasil. Like the Dimension Challenge, this world that you see and step into is an artificial world. There are various monsters that inhabit Yggdrasil."

The demons nodded. They recalled every bit of information Uriel had told them. Entering an unfamiliar and different territory from where they lived, information was the key to survival.

"As the name of it, in this event you will hunt eggs. The eggs you hunt are monster eggs that you can breed."

Instantly the demons were excited, especially those from the Barons. Most of them had financial problems after buying many monsters in the previous auction. This was a golden opportunity to renew their warriors.

The Earls were also excited to hear it, but they didn't show it. Meanwhile, the eight Dukes seemed calm. They already knew about this.

Isaac? He was beyond the question.

Uriel then explained the details of the game rules.

The dungeon masters were given three weeks to hunt for monster eggs in this dimension. They could take as many eggs as they wanted. During that time, any activities were free. Such as hunting monsters, fighting battles, or just exploring Yggdrasil. There were no special restrictions on this event. This included stealing eggs from other demons.

Eggs from the event can be traded. Either through the shop or fellow demons.

"Do you understand the rules of the game?"

After finishing explaining the event rules, the angel asked the demons to make sure they understood.

No voice came out to answer the question.

Uriel assumed they all understood. She snapped her fingers.

Then on each demon's system a notification window appeared. Including Isaac's.

[Deadline - 21:00:00]

The angel said.

"Before you is the time limit, with the format 'Day : Hour: Minutes'. Make sure you finish before the time runs out."

There was a sound of deep breathing from the demons. They all seemed to be preparing to rush out of the hall.

Uriel was again floating in the air. His flaming wings flapped. She raised her hands. The demons' breathing sounded ragged.

The snap of fingers echoed in the air and the flames on the altar flared up.

"When the fire goes out, your time is up," Uriel said. She silent for a moment.

"The Easter Egg Hunt... begins!"

Instantly, the demons rushed towards the gate. They vied to get out first.

Isaac watched them like a flock of sheep.

His attention was then drawn to a female demon with red hair and snow-white skin. Duchess Alyna and her group were also running like the others.

The demon in the front row was a young man with yellow hair and orange eyes. His skin was bright like the sun. He darted out with the eight demons behind him.

"Come on kids, don't let the other demons hunt down your eggs!"

Said the yellow-headed demon. He was the Duke. The demons called him Gatt Samigina.

There were some demons who were not in a hurry like them. The group of demons led by the fat woman with a pair of horns on her head seemed to be walking leisurely.

"You... lowly nobles. They're in such a hurry," the fat demon grumbled.

They were Duchess Valefor along with her people.

Isaac chuckled at the fat duchess's behavior.

Then his eyes turned to look for the figure he wanted to kill. A handsome man with silver hair and black clothes typical of royalty.

Duke Gavin Bael.

His nemesis was also running among the crowd.

Isaac's gaze changed when he saw him. Uncontainable hatred always welled up in his chest when he saw that traitor. If he hadn't lost the 'Heart Touch' title back then, maybe he still had a sixth sense. He wouldn't have been stabbed in the back.

However, everything was in the past. Isaac could not regret what had passed. He was given a second chance to change it and promised not to fail again.

"I won't let him get it."

Isaac already knew what he was looking for. There was another Spiritual Beast hidden in the Yggdrasil dimension. But the monster was still in egg form. There were only two demons who knew this secret.

Him and Gavin Bael.

This Spiritual Beast egg would determine whether Isaac would escape the clutches of Duke Barbatos or not. If he didn't get it, Duke Barbatos would forever consider Isaac an enemy.

"I have to succeed no matter what."

As Isaac was deep in thought, he suddenly sensed danger from behind.

His instincts screamed. Isaac jumped at once.

BLAZE!!!

A hand-shaped dark purple aura tried to grab him from behind. Thanks to his sixth sense, he survived.

Isaac's gaze turned sharp when he saw the person who was about to attack him from behind.

Duke Barbatos.

The duke's hands seemed to be shrouded in a dark purple mana. The burly, ruby-eyed demon grinned. Eight demon lords stood behind him. One of them was his trusted demon, Baron Loke.

"You have strong senses, too. No wonder that fool Gustav died in your hands. You are truly impressive, Lord Isaac."

Hearing the cold tone coming out of his mouth, Isaac gritted his teeth.

The Duke was really not happy to see him. There was no hesitation on his face at all. He truly intended to kill Isaac.
