Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master

"Hoeggg!"

Blood came out of Isaac's mouth. The Queen quickly embraced him. Her eyes looked pitying as she watched the wounded man endure the pain.

"Who did this to you?" asked the Queen. She stroked Isaac's cheek that was stained with blood splatters.

"The demons, Queen. They came. They're coming-keug" More blood oozed from Isaac's mouth.

"Shhh. Don't speak yet. Calm down. Let me treat your wound first."

The queen closed her eyes, her mouth chattering, a light came out from her body. She placed her hand on his chest, not long after, the bruises disappeared. Blood stains evaporated. The incision wounds closed. His pale face regained its color. All of Isaac's wounds were healed.

"By now, you should be fine," the Queen said with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Queen."

Baby Qilin jumped onto Isaac and danced on his chest.

The Queen could not yet put her trust in him. But after seeing Baby Qilin return to her arms and even it seemed familiar with Isaac, she felt she could give him a chance. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

On the other hand, the antfolk made dumbfounded faces at the Queen and Isaac. They still regarded him as a stranger. Seeing how their Queen treated Isaac whom they had only seen a few days ago, was enough to make them wonder.

Of course they wanted to protest to the Queen, but they were afraid of getting punished. Doubting the Queen's decision was tantamount to treason in the Ant Kingdom.

In the end, they could only remain silent.

"Come here, we need a better place to talk."

The Queen then ordered the antofolk warriors to stand guard inside and outside the throne's chamber. Meanwhile, she and Isaac entered the Queen's private room.

There, Isaac was allowed to lie on the bed. The Queen caressed his face gently.

The reason she cared Isaac besides returning Baby Qilim, was because he needed a male to mate with. All the males had been killed and the eggs burnt.

Without the existence of male antfolk, the Ant Kingdom was threatened with extinction. No one would fertilize the Queen, meaning no eggs would be born.

The Queen still needs Isaac to reproduce.

Apart from the Queen and the Male, the other types of antfolk did not have reproductive organs. So they cannot mate with the Queen. That was why, the Queen was so hysterical when she found the eggs and the males dead.

As an alternative, the antfolk Queen could mate with other racial creatures that had reproductive organs. For example, humans, elves, dwarves, and even demons, like Isaac.

Of course, interbreeding had repercussions. Among them were disability, impurity, and failed hatching. Despite knowing these risks, the Queen still chose to do it rather than see the downfall of her kingdom.

"Stranger, do you have a name?" asked the Queen.

"Yes, Queen. My name is Isaac."

"Isaac, huh? That's a good name. My name is Kaileena. When it's just the two of us, you can call me by my name."

The Queen was silent. Isaac was also silent. The atmosphere became quiet.

Not long after, the Queen spoke again. "Isaac, can you tell me how they killed my people, and how you were able to save yourself?"

Queen Kaileena looked serious. Her face still held a look of pity and compassion, but her hand stopped stroking Isaac's cheek, moving to his chest. Right above the demon's heart.

Seeing the Queen's behavior, Isaac quickly realized what was happening right now.

Queen Kaileena was testing him.

'You want to check my heartbeat, huh? Wow... I thought you had fallen for my trick, but I was wrong.'

Isaac took a deep breath, his face turning dark, as if he was recalling a nightmare.

Then, the demon began to tell his made-up story.

After the Queen left the room, Isaac confessed to sleeping on the bed. Occasionally, he played with Baby Qilin to get rid of boredom.

Suffice to say, everything was fine at first. After a few minutes passed, he heard a noise from outside.

Because of the Queen's order to stay in the room, Isaac ignored it. However, the noise grew louder and louder. Of course, he became curious.

Finally, he decided to leave the room.

Down the narrow and dark hallway, he heard the noise more and more clearly. He accelerated his pace because he was getting curious. Arriving at the door that separated the Queen's private room hallway from the throne's chamber, he saw a horrifying sight.

Dozens of male antfolk were being tortured and killed by a group of demons. They were punched, kicked, and beheaded. They could do nothing, but scream and beg for mercy.

The demons tortured the male antfolk to extract information about the whereabouts of Baby Qilin and the eggs. Of course, they didn't tell anything that happened. As a result, they had to pay with their own lives.

Among the demons, a man with silver hair seemed to enjoy killing the antfolk. He killed the antfolk so ruthlessly, that he ate a live male antfolk.

"What? He ate them alive?"

The Queen shocked after hearing her people being eaten by the demon. Anger was clearly visible on her face.

"Yes, Queen. That silver-haired demon is truly immoral. He even laughed while eating an antfolk who was begging for mercy. That demon is truly horrible."

Kaileena's face turned dark. Anger, disgust, sadness, all were written on her face.

""Such a vile creature... I will definitely give him his due punishment," said the Queen angrily.

Isaac seemed to have a sad face, but he was actually laughing.

The demon continued his story. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

Isaac who watched them could not do anything. He could only tremble. At that moment, Baby Qilin suddenly appeared next to him. Knowing that the demons were after Baby Qilin, he quickly hid it in his coat pocket.

While the torture was going on, another group of demons suddenly appeared. These two groups of demons had a confrontation. It turned out that they were after the same thing.

The two groups ended up fighting.

Seeing the demons busy killing each other, Isaac used this as an opportunity to escape. He quickly entered the throne's chamber and sneaked out.

,m As Isaac was on the verge of exiting, a demon spotted him. He was attacked by the demon. With just one kick, his entire body crushed.

Luckily, another demon quickly attacked the demon that attacked him. Isaac quickly took advantage of this to quickly escape.

Although Isaac escaped, his body was badly injured. He then spun around in the hallway to look for help, but he found none. Finally, he decided to return in the hope that the demon battle was over. And his hunch was right. There were no demons, and Queen Kaileena had returned. Isaac was saved.

That's how his story ends.

"I see..."

Queen Kailena looked flat. Her eyes narrowed, there were still signs of skepticism on her face. She doubted the story given by Isaac, but she didn't feel any weirdness in his heartbeat.

On the other hand, Isaac put on his best face to convince Queen Kaileena. The woman's silence frustrated him.

If the story failed, he went with plan B.

Kill Kaileena as soon as possible and rescue Alyna immediately.

'Come on, bitch... say something... you're pressed for time.'

After a long silence, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The Queen's attention was distracted, then an antfolk figure in gray armor appeared at the door.

It was Kaies.

His face looked shocked when he found Isaac sleeping on the bed with the Queen sitting next to him.

"What's wrong Kaies? Did you already gather them?"

"Y-yes, Queen. They've gathered. When are we leaving."

The Queen rose, then looked at Isaac with a gentle gaze and a smile.

"You rest, Isaac. I have business to deal with. After this, I will definitely take good care of you."

Hearing the Queen's words, a wide smile appeared on the demon's face.

"Yes, Queen. I mean, Kaileena."

Isaac managed to trick Queen Kaileena. However, to his delight, she actually believed that Gavin ate her males.

It was hard to believe it.

Queen Kaileena held baby Qilin. The little monster looked happy to be in her mistress' arms.

"Honey, mama's leaving first. You stay here, with Isaac."

"Kyu-kyu." Baby Qilin breathed fire, almost burning Kaileena's golden hair.

But she laughed instead.

The Queen then handed Baby Qilin to Isaac.

"Take care of it."

"Yes. I will definitely take care of it," Isaac replied firmly.

Then, the Queen left the room with Kaies who had been waiting for her in the doorway.
