It turns out that these demon beasts were subordinates of Bazeel. During Bazeel's reign, Prince Zeux had seized control of the Kingdom of Demons, making him an enemy.Naturally, Isaac saw the subordinates of Bazeel as his adversaries. So, in this clash, his primary target became these demon beasts."Isaac, you actually dared to strike all alone!" sneered the demon beast leader of the Seraphym Dynasty, his eyes blazing with malice.Isaac didn’t respond with words but with the swift, cold action of his sword.In mere moments, the demon beasts were in utter chaos, defeated one after another by Isaac alone."Hmm?" Prince Zeux’s brow arched with interest as he observed the battle."How about a contest to see who takes them down faster?" he suggested, a surge of battle spirit igniting within him."I only kill those I hold a grudge against. I have no interest in the sea monsters of the Sea of Death," Isaac replied coldly.He continued his relentless attack, showing no mercy.The onlo

"Mixandrei stayed to protect everyone, so I came to help you," Minotaur explained after noticing the puzzled look on Isaac's face."Alright," Isaac nodded without wasting words, preparing to let Minotaur watch his back.Minotaur quickly shifted into her true form which was a cyclops.From afar, the onlookers watched in stunned silence."That's a cyclops!""Who would have thought Isaac would have this kind of ally?""The woman in blue looks even more powerful. I’d say her strength is nearly on par with Isaac’s.""Looks like they’re going to be serious contenders in this trial ground.""We’ll need to be on our guard around them."The crowd were whispering among themselves.In the battlefield, Prince Zeux paused his fight with the sea creatures, watching Isaac and Minotaur’s battle with unhidden interest."Your Highness, should we step in to help them?" Monbrol asked."I doubt they need our help," Prince Zeux replied calmly, just as Isaac struck down the man controlling the br

Isaac and Mixandrei, coldly and almost simultaneously, turned to glare at him, cutting him off.Isaac rejected. "We said no. Didn’t you hear us? Just go back to where you came from."Mixandrei, too, said, "The secret realm won’t open anytime soon. Even if it does, we can wait. As for you, we have no interest in forming an alliance, so please go back."With one cold and one indifferent reply, they turned Prince Zeux away once again."Well, I extend a hand in good faith, and this is the response? Truly disappointing." Prince Zeux covered his forehead with an exaggeratedly despondent look."Good luck. I’ll be on my way."With that, he transformed into his true form, a nine-life golden roc, and flew back to his team.Isaac was filled with doubt, wondering what exactly Prince Zeux intended by constantly seeking alliances. Did he believe that unreliable allies were somehow valuable?"Isaac, focus on resting as much as possible. If you really can’t regain enough spiritual energy, I ha

"I've never seen those people before."Isaac frowned, observing the unfamiliar figures. He felt that the burly man ahead also carried a formidable presence, though he couldn’t discern if he was from the human or demon clans."The Upper Martial Realm is vast," Mixandrei added with a slight frown. "Just the Sea of Death alone holds countless islands, not to mention the Realm of Eternal Frost further south. We must move quickly."Their entire group felt the urgency intensify. Each of them was eager to push forward and break into the Demon Realm.But Isaac rubbed his chin, sensing something was off. This sudden emergence of the so-called Demon Realm felt suspicious."Isn’t it said that every time the trial grounds open, the way they’re accessed is different? We haven’t even seen any signs of a selection process, so how can a realm already be open?" Isaac questioned, skeptical."Besides, wasn’t there another realm that just opened ahead? Why hasn’t there been any movement? Is this cur

"Damn it, did we just get mocked by that brute? I’m going in!""That demon beast better wait for me! I’ll make sure to rip its head off!""You dare act arrogant when your master isn’t here?"Monbrol’s taunts had infuriated a handful of people, sparking their resolve as they charged into the time-space gate, determined to prove themselves."Something is definitely off. The more I think about it, the stranger this feels." Isaac furrowed his brow, his suspicions growing by the second."What’s wrong? I don’t see anything strange here," Minotaur replied, baffled."It's like Monbrol was using reverse psychology to rile everyone up. He’s in Prince Zeux's entourage. Moments ago, he was waiting outside for Prince Zeux, yet now he’s charging in alone."Isaac analyzed aloud."But saying things like that is normal. I don’t see how it’s supposed to be a trick," Minotaur muttered, scratching her head.At that moment, Isaac noticed the other man of Prince Zeux, Jagmesh, glancing in their dir
