Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master-Chapter 147 Fruit
Seeing Duke Barbatos rolling on the floor, they could do nothing. They were in a dilemma. They wanted to help their boss, but on the other hand, they still wanted to participate in the event.
Slowly, Duke Barbatos began to vanish. Some parts of his body had already teleported to his dungeon. He could only struggle.
"What are you guys doing? Help me! Don't just stand there!"
Even though the duke ordered them, his men just stood still. Even Baron Loke, the demon he trusted the most, just watched himself writhing on the floor.
"Baron Loke! Baron Loke!"
Finally, the right-hand man's name was called out by Duke Barbatos. The other demons looked at Baron Loke, hoping that the demon would do something.
Realizing that he was being waited on, Baron Loke visibly trembled. Not out of fear, but out of annoyance. Duke Barbatos was disqualified due to his own mistake and had to drag someone else.
Baron Loke sighed. The skinny demon needed to prepare himself.
"Sorry we can't help you. But if we take your side, we will be disqualified. If we are also disqualified, we have less chance of building power in China. We would be weakening ourselves. Please understand, Lord Barbatos?"
Hearing such an unpleasant answer, cursing came out of the duke's mouth. His pride was shattered, not even one of his men defended him.
Until finally, Duke Barbatos' entire body was burned by golden flames. He vanished. The duke was teleported back to his dungeon.
Isaac smiled triumphantly.
The angel warned Duke Barbatos' remaining men.
"I don't want this place destroyed. There must be no fighting in this area."
Baron Loke along with the other demons obeyed Uriel. They quickly left the meeting hall.
They stared at him with hateful eyes as they passed by. The two earls among them, Earl Gaskin and Earl Barton, seemed to ignore Isaac completely. Only Baron Loke actually showed his hatred for Isaac.
That left Isaac alone as the demon in the hall.

His body quickly fell to the floor. He looked up at the cracked ceiling. Pain spread through every part of his body. His hands were still trembling from the effects of the battle.
"Damn, I almost died," he muttered.
Not long after, his vision was blocked by the beautiful face of a woman. Her clear eyes looked at him with a curious gaze.
"Lord Isaac, you may leave the hall."
Isaa chuckled. "Don't you see my condition? I just fought against a Duke. My whole body is sore. Besides, I'm sure they'll wait me from outside."
Uriel just stood by and watched. The look on the angel's face showed even more concern.
This was the first time a demon talked casually with her. Most demons would have sworn at her or let out various disrespectful words. In her eyes, Isaac was like a rare demon specimen that should be preserved.
Annoyed at being stared at, Isaac quipped at the angel. "Instead of you looking at me like an animal in a zoo, why don't you restore me?"
Uriel opened his eyes wide. This time she couldn't contain her curiosity.
"You are indeed strange. This is the first time I've seen a demon ask an angel for help."
Isaac snorted. "Want to help me, no?"
The angel nodded. She raised her hands into the air, and golden flames consumed Isaac's body.
Unlike before, he did not feel the excruciating heat, but rather the comfortable sensation of bathing in warm water.
Uriel cast a healing magic spell.
It wasn't long before Isaac's body recovered completely. The bruises disappeared and the pain vanished. He was back to his old self.
"Heaven's magic is amazing."
Isaac changed his position to sitting. He accessed his inventory, arranging the order of items based on priority. He also took a few bottles of Med-Ether to restore his mana.
On the other hand, Uriel watched the demon with a curious face.
"You didn't get out immediately? Aren't you afraid of the powerful monster eggs being plundered by the other dungeon masters?"
Isaac was still focused on his system window. "No, I'm not. Most monster eggs in this world are trash. Not much different from the ones sold in the shop. The monster eggs I'm after are only known to me. Actually, there's one more demon, but I'm sure it's not time yet."
Uriel raised one eyebrow. "You seem to know about this event. Are you relaxed like this because of Lady Alyna?"
Now, it was Isaac's turn to be surprised. There were other angels who knew of Alyna's connection. Not to mention she was a part of the Knight of Heaven.
However, this was not bad news from Isaac. Angels don't care about demon affairs, and vice versa.
Isaac squinted. "Hmm... come to think of it, I've never had direct contact with Lady Alyna other than during the auction." 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
Not long after, his eyes opened wide. Isaac chuckled.
"You're spying on Asriel's territory? Wow... this is amazing. You angels really are crazier than us demons."
Uriel was silent. The angel realized that he made a mistake by exposing Isaac's secret, but she did not panic. She thought that Isaac was nothing. He wouldn't be a problem for her.
It's just that she didn't know that Isaac was not random.
Isaac got up while cleaning his dust-soiled clothes.
"My business here is done. I don't sense any more demon presence around here."
He quickly walked towards the exit gate, leaving the angel alone in the hall. When he reached the gate, a soft voice stopped him.
"That skill you used, is it 'Soul Taker'? Where did you get it from? That skill should only be possessed by angels."
Isaac opened his eyes wide, not long after smiling. He turned to Uriel while putting on a smiley face.
"Of course not. It's just ordinary darkness elemental magic. I imitated the 'Soul Taker' skill for you to stop the fight. Because I know, you angels are siding with the dukes. The difference in our strength is too great. Only with Soul Taker, a baron can kill a duke."
Suddenly, golden flames appeared around her. Her face looked flat, but the look in her eyes clearly implied anger.
Uriel could have killed Isaac, but that would justify his words. Besides, killing a baron for no apparent reason would only raise questions.
"Slander is crueler than murder," Uriel said in a cold tone.
The demon's lips curled.
"If what I said was slander, there is no need for you to be angry, Uriel."
Isaac looked away, then exited the hall.

A vast expanse of green forest. In the distance, you can see high mountains covered by clouds.
Several reptilian monsters were flying in the blue sky. Rodent monsters dig tunnels underground. Beasts hunted in the forest. Lakes and rivers are inhabited by hundreds of pisces-type monsters.
Yggdrasil was a paradise for monsters.
"I hate this event the most."
Isaac hissed as he hid under a tree root. Five minutes out of the hall, he encountered three t-rexes on the hunt.
The demon wasn't afraid of fighting monsters, it was just that he avoided the battles. In fact, he could defeat them without having to sweat a drop.
He learned from his previous mistakes. Every corner of this forest had monsters. If he made the slightest noise, other monsters would come and an endless battle would begin. Besides, retrieving monster eggs would be a hassle.
On the plus side, grinding to level up was easier. There were many powerful monsters that hold abundant exp when killed. They were like fat chickens ready to be slaughtered.
However, for now Isaac wasn't going to do that.
His priority now was the Spiritual Beast egg hidden in this forest.
After the group of t-rexes left, Isaac climbed out of the tree roots and continued his exploration.
He walked through the forest. Every time he encountered a monster he hid behind a tree or ducked in the bushes. Thanks to his sixth sense, he was able to detect the monsters nearby.
After traveling through the forest for a while, he arrived at an area with small trees. Fruits of various colors adorned the lush branches. There were also some plant-eating monsters. They were harmless, so Isaac wasn't worried about them.
His eyes scanned the fruits. They looked varied; there were coconut-like fruits with an easy red color. There were small fruits like berries. There were also fruits that looked like babies.
Of the many fruits, his attention fell on a round fruit the size of a handheld and bright yellow in color.
Isaac smiled.
"I finally found it. The 1000-year-old orange."
