Situation beyond the plan.

Isaac accessed his inventory and took out the Black Jade. Squeezing the great sword tightly, he prepared for the worst. Two Earls, five Barons, and one Duke.

An imbalance battle.

"Well, looks like you have an interesting weapon, Lord Isaac. It just keeps getting better."

The Duke also accessed his inventory. Not long after, both his hands were wrapped in bronze gauntlets with lions carved on them. Seven of his men also took out their weapons. Some took out a scythe. Some were holding spears. There were also those who took out staffs.

Realizing that he could not defeat his enemies, Isaac had to find a way to survive. Even though Isaac's level was high, he was outnumbered. What he was fighting was a Demon Lord and one of them was a duke. There was a good chance he wouldn't survive.

However, that didn't mean he had no chance of winning.

Clank!

Isaac drove his sword into the floor. His action sparked the curiosity of the demons.

"What's going on? You want to surrender? Don't expect me to spare you," Duke Barbatos quipped.

The burly demon slammed his hands together. He really couldn't wait to kill his opponent.

"My parents never taught me to ask for forgiveness. If they come across a coward who brings his men to fight one person, they tell them to beat the coward's ass with their bare hands," Isaac retorted.

Duke Barbatos frowned. "What did you say?"

"Are you stupid or deaf? I said you are too cowardly to face me. A Duke bringing his men together to finish off one Baron. Tch... coward."

Suddenly, a deep purple aura emanated strongly from the Duke. His pride as a demon was offended. The floor suddenly cracked. The demons behind him trembled feeling the powerful force. Even Baron Loke, a demon known to be close to Barbatos, did not dare to calm him down.

Of course Isaac felt the opponent's power. He got goosebumps. His animal instinct told him to run, but he fought it.

Because this was what he was looking for. The feeling of being under life and death conditions. The feeling of being under immense pressure.

If she ran away, she would die.

"Looks like, the plan changed..." he muttered.

Isaac grinned even as cold sweat began to run down his face.

Duke Barbatos walked over to Isaac.

"A Baron does not know his place. But thankfully, I now have a good reason to kill you."

A cold and intimidating tone came out of the Duke's mouth.

Now, Isaac could not retreat.

"Bring it on!" he called out.

The huge demon took off.

Isaac quickly grasped the hilt of the Black Jade, then quickly poured a large amount of mana into it. The air around moved and quickly a vortex of wind enveloped him.

Swallowed by rage and hatred, Duke Barbatos' face looked ferocious. His eyes glowed and his entire body was cloaked in a purple aura. He roared like a wild animal.

Duke Barbatos punched out a huge wind cyclone.

Instantly a violent explosion occurred. The ceiling collapsed. The entire aura shook as if an earthquake had occurred. The demons who witnessed it opened their eyes wide. Some Barons gasped.

"I'll kill you Isaac!"

Duke Barbatos pierced through the vortex of wind. The clothes wrapped around his body were torn, as was the surface of his skin. Blood began to seep and was swept away by the wind. Nevertheless the savage continued to lash out.

The duke's breath caught when he saw his opponent standing in the center of the vortex.

On the other side, Isaac continued to pour mana into Jade Black. He held only the greenish-black great sword. His eyes glowed, emitting green mana. His breath caught when he saw the Duke getting closer. He could hear screams amidst the commotion of the hurricane. Even though he had released half the mana from his body.

"What a beast..."

One of his hands removed the hilt of the sword. He accessed the inventory and retrieved the Strange Pendant. He clutched it in his hand.

His status changed.

Isaac stopped pouring mana into Black Jade. Duke Barbatos instantly shot towards him like a bullet.

"Die!" The burly demon roared like a beast.

Isaac raised his great sword and used it as a shield.

BAM!

A thunderous sound followed by a powerful mana explosion echoed out. The demons who were witnessing the battle were pushed several meters away.

Duke Barbatos hit Jade Black. His eyes opened wide when he found his arm covered in blood. It was as if dozens of sharp knives had sliced through his arm.

"What's wrong, Duke Barbatos? Surprised, huh?"

A sarcastic tone escaped Isaac's mouth. Instantly his words sparked the duke's anger.

"I'll rip your damn mouth off!"

The purple aura that enveloped Duke Barbatos's body grew thicker. He began launching fists rapidly.

Papapapapapapapapa!!!

Isaac began to be pushed back. It was as if thousands of maces were slaming his body, even worse than that. He could only hold on. The floor he was standing on was shattered. His hands began to tremble.

"Keeeeuuuugg!"

Blood spurted from his mouth. His chest felt like it had been hit by hammer. The mana from Duke Barbatos' body penetrated his defenses.

The duke laughed to see him bleed.

"Have you reached your limit? You're going to die!"

Isaac saw Duke Barbatos holding his great sword. That demon would get rid of the Jade Black.

A smirk appeared on his face. Isaac saw an opportunity.

Swoooosh!!!

Jade Black was thrown into the air. Duke Barbatos grinned widely. With just one hit, he could kill Isaac.

The duke thought it was all over. However, his eyes opened wide when he saw that Isaac's arms were covered in a black aura.

The black hand went into his stomach. There was no pain. There was no tactile sensation. It was as if the hand was fused into his stomach.

The duke's feeling turned bad when he saw Isaac smiling triumphantly.

"What are you doing?" asked Duke Barbatos.

"You're about to find out."

Duke Barbatos shuddered. He quickly launched a fist at Isaac's face, but a golden flame appeared between the two of them.

Isaac screamed, as did Duke Barbatos. Heat spread across the surface of both of their skin.

Golden flames blazed between the two of them. Then the two demons who were fighting separated.

Duke Barbatos was thrown and crashed to the floor. The burly demon rolled around.

"Duke Barbatos!"

The demons shouted their master's name. They quickly approached him.

Meanwhile, Isaac was writhing on the floor. The black aura that enveloped his hands was consumed by the golden flames.

It wasn't long before the golden flames died out.

Isaac was breathing fast. He thought he would die from being burned by the golden fire.

A female angel with flaming wings landed in the middle of the two of them. Uriel stopped the fight.

Duke Barbatos pushed away his men who were trying to help him up. He pointed at Uriel.

"Damn angel! Why are you interfering!"

"That's right! Don't you have no special rules in this event," added Baron Loke.

Duke Barbatos' demon followers also protested.

"There is no rule that says to kill fellow demons."

"You shouldn't interfere."

Listening to the demons' chatter, Uriel snorted.

"There's no rule that says angels can't interfere. As the authority, I can do anything during the event. I am doing this for your live as well, Duke Barbatos."

Of course, the last sentence uttered by Uriel sounded unpleasant to the burly demon's ears. He was a Duke. There was no way he would lose the fight against Isaac who was mere a Baron.

This was an insult.

The dense purple aura again enveloped Duke Barbatos' body.

"Angel bitch! You think I'll be afraid of you? Come here, I'll give you a taste of what it's like to be hit by a Demon Lord."

Uriel clicked his tongue. She hated stubbornness the most. She flicked a finger, then golden flames burned the duke's body.

Duke Barbatos screamed again. However, the golden flames seemed to consume his body. Slowly, his hands and legs began to disappear.

"What have you just done bitch?"

His men looked surprised to see him.

Uriel put on a cold face.

"For defying authority, you are disqualified from the event."

Hearing Uriel's words, Duke Barbatos' men immediately protested. Especially Baron Loke.

"This is not fair! You are arbitrary! You're abusing your power. This is unacceptable."

Of course Uriel didn't keep quiet.

"Do you also want to be disqualified from the event?"

Instantly they fell silent.
