Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master

Isaac collapsed. Three ice crystals were embedded in his chest. Guo Chen quickly caught him before his body hit the floor.

"Brother!" The young man exclaimed while shaking him repeatedly.

Isaac remained silent. A little blood flowed out of his lips. His face was so pale and his eyes were wide. He only saw Guo Chen's face which was in complete shock.

On the other side, Earl Xenovia laughed watching the two of them. This was the first time she had witnessed a demon who wanted to sacrifice for a human. If other demons saw it, they would also laugh at this scene.

"What kind of joke is this? I thought something like this wouldn't happen. It turns out... I didn't expect the relationship between demons and humans to go this far."

The dungeon master could not stop laughing at them. Various sentences of scorn came out of her mouth. Nevertheless, Guo Chen paid no heed. His attention was still on Isaac who was drooping helplessly.

"Brother... hang in there... hang in there..." Every sentence that escaped from Guo Chen sounded soft and stuttered. His body trembled and tears began to well up in his eyes. They hadn't met for long, but for some reason, seeing Isaac slowly losing his life scared him to death.

With a pale look, Isaac said, "You always act like this. Without powers... you're trying to protect others."

"Brother..."

"You're weak... In the end, you won't be able to save anyone..."

After that, Isaac closed his eyes.

Guo Chen was silent. His face turned dark.

In that moment, he did not feel sorrow, but regret. A feeling he had once felt and tried to forget. The feeling that arose when watching his comrades die in front of him when he promised to protect them. He vowed not to repeat the same mistake, and now, the opposite was happening.

Fear, failure, regret, trauma. Bitter emotions that he did not want to feel filled his chest.

Guo Chen curled up like a doll.

On the other hand, the woman who caused this event looked very happy. To her, there was nothing more enjoyable than seeing the suffering of others. Happiness can only be obtained in two ways; creating it or taking it away from others.

In addition, she was satisfied that she could avenge Isaac after his entire experiment was destroyed.

"Interesting... and pathetic. Emotion is fun, but it will weaken you, Lord Isaac. You deserve to die."

Earl Xenovia raised her hand, ice crystals forming from the empty air

"Get lost..."

Swooosh! Swoooosh! Swoooosh!

Dozens of ice crystals shot out at such a high speed that the wind whistled.

At that moment, Guo Chen should have died in the blink of an eye. However, the opposite happened.

Creack! Creack! Creack!

The ice crystals shattered like pieces of glass. The Dungeon Master opened her eyes wide.

"Ho... so, it turns out you awakened your skill."

A crimson aura seemed to envelop Guo Chen. The man seemed to change 180 degrees. His originally pitch-black hair turned white as snow. His clothes were torn, and his body became burly. The man stared at his enemy, his black eyes with red pupils radiating hatred.

Earl Xenovia looked excited to see the changes in her opponent. What's more, she felt a strong killing aura from that man.

"Hmmm... Let's see-"

Bam!

Before she could finish her sentence, a metal table was thrown in front of her. Luckily, Mistress Xenovia had quick reflexes, before the object landed on her face, she had time to cast magic and create a wall of ice that fortified her.

Her veins was throbbing. The woman clenched her fists while looking at Guo Chen with a displeased gaze. The incident angered the Dungeon Master.

"Humans are sassy. Even dogs know how to be ethical." Earl Xenovia uttered in a soft, threatening tone. "You will die."

Despite this, Guo Chen did not look intimidated. In fact, the man looked confident.

He looked at his own hands. He felt a great power flowing within him. His instincts told him nothing could stop him in this world. He could devour anything that came his way.

Guo Chen took a deep breath, then looked back at the woman with the crystal staff in front of him. Puffing out his chest, he walked over to the enemy.

Of course, Earl Xenovia did not remain silent. The woman flicked a finger, and once again dozens of crystals ice shot out at high speed.

Unexpectedly, Guo Chen vanished.

Both of her eyes were wide open.

Suddenly, the man with the aura of death was already five steps ahead of her. Earl Xenovia quickly cast ice magic without a second thought. A spike of ice shot towards Guo Chen.

Creack! Creack!

She squinted. A red aura devoured her ice. Just a second after she responded to the attack, Guo Chen suddenly appeared in front of her. His hand enveloped by the red aura looked like it was about to kill the female demon.

Splat!

Swoooosh!

Thud!

The human was slammed into the wall. Black dust scattered. Nevertheless, Earl Xenovia seemed to be in deep shock.

She touched his cheek. Her eyes bulged, then her whole body trembled. She saw blood on her fingertips.

Just before she used telekinesis to push Guo Chen away, the man managed to land a wound on the Demon Mistress's face.

"How...how dare you?"

The wound she felt was not much, but her pride was completely tarnished. For a great noble of the Netherland, it never entered her head that a human who was a lowly creature would be able to touch her.

This was an insult. This was a disgrace. No one should know about this. Especially not a demon. Even if she hated and disliked them, if this spead out, then it was the end of her life. The Barons would despise her, the Eight Dukes would be unwilling to cooperate with her. Her relationship with Duke Barbatos could be jeopardized.

But what she was most afraid of was if other nobles would target her dungeon. Of course this would be a bad news,.

A demon lord was successfully harmed by humans, surely they were very weak, right?

Before that happens, Earl Xenovia must get rid of the source of the problem.

"I WILL KILL YOU...."

Earl Xenovia's roar echoed in the lab.

The red aura thundered, the dust in the air vanished. Guo Chen could be seen standing tall, his white hair floating in the air. While on his body emitted a fierce mana surge.

He looked serious about facing Earl Xenovia. So did his opponent.

The woman's eyes flashed blue. She floated in the air as thousands of ice crystals formed. The entire room froze. The floor, the ceiling, the laboratory items; everything was covered in ice. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

The crystal ball at her staff flashed brightly. Guo Chen was seen squinting his eyes. After that, thousands of tiny ice needles shot out at a speed that made the air whistle.

Swoooosh! Swoooosh! Swoooosh!

Without hesitation, Guo Chen also lunged out. A red aura enveloped his body like armor.

Creack! Creack! Creack!

Seeing her ice crystals shatter, Earl Xenovia quickly changed her attack. She let out an ice spike and a loud angis.

"You can dodge that, how about this!"

Guo Chen jumped here and there, dodging every ice attack. A crystal the size of a human body shot towards him, without a second thought, he smashed it. However, his hands froze instead.

"Gotcha!"

The ice woman fired another round of frozen bullets.

Sash! Sash! Sash!

However, the size of the object was so small, making it difficult for Guo Chen to avoid it. He again cloaked his body with red aura.

"How long are you going to hold out?"

The female demon chanted wind magic, instantly a fierce wind blew, a blizzard ensued. Snow filled the room.

Guo Chen was trying to survive the tremendous push of the wind. The red mana wrapped around his body was slowly thinning. His feet slowly began to freeze.

Realizing he had no more time, the man of steel gathered all the strength in his legs. Then he darted through the strong winds of the storm magic.

A grin appeared on Earl Xenovia's face. She saw an opportunity.

"Scram!"

At the moment Guo Chen was three steps away, an ice spike appeared from the mounting snow pile.

Bam!

"Keugggg-"

Guo Chen was slammed against the frozen ceiling. The ice that pierced a portion of his abdomen flowed blood. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

Wasting no time, Earl Xenovia took advantage of her superior situation by launching dozens of ice crystals at the man. Guo Chen quickly cloaked his body with red mana, the sharp crystals shattering.

However, it did not last long.

Splat! Splat! Splat!

Ice crystals broke through the mana armor.

Earl Xenovia laughed hysterically.

"Die!"

After torturing Guo Chen with her ice thorns for a while, she stopped her attack. Her hand rose into the air, then the man's body was pulled up and into her palm.

The female demon strangled his neck.

"How does it feel to be in the presence of death? Isn't it fun?" quipped Earl Xenovia.

Guo Chen looked helpless. His entire body was frozen. He couldn't move an inch.

"A creature like you, how dare you injure the face of a noble. However, I recognize your strength. Not many creatures have managed to touch Demon Lords, even ordinary demons."

Earl Xenovia grinned widely as she tightened her grip. Guo Chen looked in pain, his head beginning to feel dizzy.

"You're lucky I'm a good demon, I'll take your life without making you suffer."

Guo Chen will die. That's how it should be. However, fate said otherwise.

Splat!

"Kuarrrrrgggghh!"

Fresh blood rushed out. Earl Xenovia screamed in pain. She watched as her hand lay on a pile of snow. Her breathing was ragged, her pupils dilated. The woman didn't understand what had just happened.

Everything had happened so fast.

Until she heard someone chuckling. She turned to the source of the sound and her eyes opened wide.

A man who should have died was standing right in front of her.
