Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master-Chapter 127 Brother
The tens of ogres flying through the sky roared loudly. Then, they landed on the battlefield at once. With a morningstar capable of crushing rocks, the monsters rampaged in the crowd of hunters. The iron ball with sharp thorns all over the surface struck the humans' heads. Strong metal helmets crushed like a can, while their heads smashed like a watermelon.
The other monsters joined the battle, partying joyfully. The harpies swooped down sharply, grabbed the hunters, and sent them flying while ripping their bodies in midair. The centaurs turned every human looking at their eyes into stone.
In a matter of seconds, the battle became a killing field.
"Arrrrrgggg! Everyone, don't be afraid! As long as they breathe, they can still be killed!"
Cheng Ho screamed all his emotions out until his lungs felt like they were being ripped out. The bearded man killed every monster in front of him. Their blood stained his body until the armor he was wearing turned red.
The gold-armored hunters were still fighting fiercely even though the number of monsters kept increasing non-stop. It was thanks to their leader, Ling Tian. The charismatic man knew how to boost the morale of his men, so they weren't afraid of the onslaught of endless waves of monsters.
"We are the Golden Dragon! The strongest hunters in all of mainland China! Nothing can stop us! Including today! Let's fight till the end!"
"Yeah!"
On the other hand, Wang Mei and several of her men who were facing the homunculus didn't seem to be burning with passion like the two leading figures at this party. The cold-headed woman did not rush to call her men to fight in the battle and mustered all their strength even in this dire situation. She was still silent, as if her head was deep in thought.
"Leader, what should we do??!"
"The enemy reinforcements are coming. At this rate, we will be finished."
Some of her men couldn't hide their worries. The monsters outside the walls started coming out of the shadows and running towards the castle. Ogre with wings and the centaur with the Medusa head, the invading monster forms had unusual bodies. The two-headed hobgoblin; the slim that had bones; the orc that had a skin like wood, all of them charged towards the castle at once.
Wang Mei couldn't fight the monsters with little information carelessly, so she took a different decision.
"You guys kill all the homunculus here. We must take control of the high ground position. Tell the casters and marksmen to come here. The rest, the fighters, we'll hold at the gates. Don't let them in. We take advantage of this castle fort."
"Yes, Leader!"
After giving her men an order, Wang Mei quickly jumped off the wall and broke through the battlefield. The woman ran towards the crowd of gold-armored hunters.
Wang Mei walked over to Ling Tian who was busy restraining the attacks of the two ogres. He jumped onto one of the ogres and his dual swords shot out swiftly, inflicting red lines on the monster's massive body.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Splat!
Within seconds, the monster's body turned into chunks of flesh.
After that, Ling Tian quickly finished off the remaining ogres with wings. His sword emitted embers, then he swung it at the monster.
Wooosh!
"Keugh!"
Instantly, the ogre caught on fire and collapsed. It squirmed until it finally didn't move again.
Lin Tian was about to say thank you, but the woman cut him off.
"Save your thanks for later. I need your help."
Hearing that, Ling Tian's face became curious. A group of homunculus came to attack them. The two of them talked while fighting the monsters.
"What do you need?" Ling Tian asked. Six homunculus attacked him simultaneously. He deflected it and attacked them back several times.
"The monsters that should still be busy fighting in the west of the island are coming here."
Instantly, Ling Tian opened his eyes wide. He quickly killed the six homunculus with fire magic, then he ordered his men to set up a defensive barricade for the two of them.
"What do you want me to do?" A serious tone sounded in every word that came out of Ling Tian's mouth. His eyes were fixed on the eyes of the woman in front of him.
"I need some of your men to hold the gate area. We leave the battle in the courtyard to Crimson Dawn," replied Wang Mei.
She paused for a moment. Her expression darkened as if trying to swallow a bitter pill.
"If we fail to stop them, we will all die."

Clank! Clank! Clank!
The sound of metal clashing echoed within the dark lab. Various objects flew and shot at high speed.
Isaac dodged every attack that came his way, while occasionally deflecting them with Black Jade. On the other hand, Earl Xenovia didn't move an inch from her place, only moving her fingers in the air. The woman had a telekinesis skill that was able to move various objects without having to touch them directly. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
"You're a Baron. No wonder you're weak. Still, if your strength is only this much, you're a real disappointment."
Earl Xenovia only used basic magic. That cruel-hearted woman hadn't used any artefacts yet. She tried to test Isaac's strength since the man had an extraordinary weapon. Moreover, a strange aura radiated from his greatsword made her curious.
Of course, Isaac held back his power. He still hadn't unleashed his full power. The Mortal Ring was still hanging around his neck, half of his power was still blocked by that artefact.
This was part of his plan.
From the start, he used the hunter joint raid as bait. He wanted Earl Xenovia's entire attention to focus on the hunters and send all their monsters to them. That way, he could infiltrate the castle without being caught.
And now, Isaac could freely fight against that rank 20 Dungeon Master without any distractions.
However, defeating Earl Xenovia was not his main goal.
The longer it went, the more boring the fight got. Both sides hadn't pulled out their trump cards yet. Earl Xenovia was still playing with her telekinesis, throwing various objects, while Isaac just dodged and deflected the attacks. The thrown objects were encased in high-concentration mana, his skin would be injured even if it got on him slightly.
Both of them were so patiently waiting for the opponent to bring out their true power. However, if the situation were to drag on, it would only benefit Earl Xenovia. Isaac didn't have much time. The hunters fighting in the outer courtyard wouldn't last long.
Too tired of waiting, Isaac tried to find a way to get the woman with wings to be a little serious. His gaze swept through the room. He looked around, then he came up with an interesting idea.
A smirk appeared on his face.
Swooosh! Swooosh! Swooosh!
Rocks, glass bottles, metal, table; Various objects flew towards Isaac, as if gravity seemed to be centered on him. He stopped dodging and strengthened his foothold.
Isaac gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. A vortex of wind flowed and enveloped his sword, as if it was forming a tornado. He then swung it with full force, the high compressed wind that formed a crescent moon shot out swiftly.
Seeing the deadly wind coming towards her, Earl Xenovia quickly dodged it.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The sound of broken glass and loud bangs boomed deafening ears. When Earl Xenovia turned her head, she realized the tubes containing her experiment had been crushed. A thick green liquid pooled on the floor along with the squirming bits of flesh. The veins on her temples and hands protruded, and she clenched her soft hands until they bled.
The woman turned to Isaac while glaring furiously. "You savage demon! How dare you kill my future babies?!" A threatening tone of anger came out of her mouth.
Isaac just smiled as if he did nothing.
"Why are you so mad? Sooner or later, I will also kill them."
His words made the long black-haired woman get angrier. She accessed the inventory, then her hand held a staff with a blue crystal ball at the tip.
"This time, I will really kill you!"
Hearing the death threats aimed at him, Isaac was not afraid. Instead, he smiled broadly. He then checked the artefact that the woman was holding.
<Moses's Staff>
[Class : A]
[Type : Artefact (staff)]
[A staff that was once given to a chosen human named Moses.]
[The Staff has a strong affinity for the elements of air and water. The use of magic from these two elements will reduce mana consumption by 60%.]
Isaac moistened his lips after reading the item's description.
'A legendary artefact. If I'm not mistaken, this item became a bone of contention at the auction yesterday. It'll be a troublesome battle if I'm doing it half-hearted.'
Black Jade was a weapon with the element of wind. With Moses's Staff having the same affinity, this battle was less in his favour.
Suddenly, the air around him turned cold. Snowflakes began to form in the empty air. The floor suddenly froze. Around Earl Xenovia, dozens of crystals were seen floating. The sharp edge of the crystal pointed at Isaac, as if ready to pounce on him anytime.
"This time, you will die by my hands," Earl Xenovia threatened him.
At that nerve-wracking moment, a voice suddenly interrupted their battle.
"Brother…"
From the direction of the exit, there was a young man with black hair in white armor. The nerves on his face seemed to tighten after seeing the sight of the woman surrounded by the crystals.
"Brother...?" A question popped up in Earl Xenovia's head. This was the first time she had heard a human consider a demon as a brother.
Not long after, she laughed out loud.
Guo Chen frowned. The young man did not understand why the woman was laughing at him. On the other hand, Isaac had a worried look on his face.
"This is interesting! How interesting! There is a demon making a relationship with a human. I would have never thought that someone would go this far!"
Earl Xenovia was talking and laughing to herself like a madman. Guo Chen was still like an ignorant child, while Isaac looked worried.
"Guo Chen! Get out of here! Just help the others fight outside!" Isaac exclaimed. Cold sweat trickled down on his face.
"No, Brother. I'll help you!" Guo Chen paid him no heed. The man even drew his sword.
Earl Xenovia smiled broadly. Her face looked terrifying.
Suddenly, dozens of ice crystals shot towards Guo Chen. Of course, the young man was not prepared for the surprise attack.
"Dodge!" cried Isaac emotionally.
However, the young man stiffened in his place, watching the crystals charge at him.
Without hesitation, Isaac shot towards Guo Chen. Unfortunately, the ice crystals were too fast.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
A thick red liquid stained the floor. Guo Chen opened his eyes wide. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦
"BROTHER!!!"
