"Damn it... it alwayses at the wrong time..." Amon muttered in annoyance.
Agrias picked up hisrge shield that was stuck in the ground. One ck-robed demon appeared to be wielding a sword, another was sheathed in chains that hovered around him.
Seeing that the enemy was ready for them, Amon spread his lips, showing snarling teeth. He was ready to fight it out.
"Lord Isaac, they''d better get to work quickly."
"He''s already gone," Aries replied.
"What?"
Amon looked around, not seeing Isaac. Though the white-haired demon was standing between them just moments ago.
"He left right away when that damn shield almost killed us. He knows when to leave."
Amon who heard that, hissed in displeasure. He thought they would fight together.
"So, it''s now two against three, huh?" Amon whispered irritably.
The goat-headed demon shook his head.
"You fight alone. Someone has to stop Lady Alyna. I leave it to you, Lord Amon."
After saying so, Aries quickly left leaving his partner alone.
Amon was surprised. "Hey! What the f...?"
Seeing one of their enemies leave the fight, Agrias did not stay still.
"You think I''m going to let you guys run away?"
That demon quickly threw his shield. Darting quickly, the metal shield chased after Aries in the air.
However, an axe crashed into it. The shield bounced off and hit the ground along with therge axe.
Agrias looked at Amon with narrowed eyes.
"I didn''t let you attack my allies either. You want to die, huh?"
Agrias chuckled. "Well, you think you can stop the three of us?"
A chain shot out, wrapped around Amon''s legs and arms. He tried to break free, but strangely, the harder Amon tried, the stronger the chain became.
Augh escaped from one of the demons in ck robes.
"That chain won''te off."
Agrias alsoughed at Amon who was struggling to remove the chain wrapped around his body.
"You bastard! You think this is enough to stop me!" Amon shouted with anger in his voice.
"That''s what happens now," taunted the ck-robed demon holding a sword in his hand.
Amon struggled violently, screaming loudly, exerting all the strength in his body to break free from the chains.
However, he was unable to move at all.
Agrias sighed,ughing slightly.
"Letho, Garet. You guys take care of this stubborn demon. I''ll go after the fleeing rats."
"Leave it to us," replied the demon controlling the chain.
The blue lion demon left them. Suddenly, arge fire blocked its path. Agrias quickly dodged the mes to avoid being burned.
The fire then spread, coiling, enclosing them so that no one could get out of there.
Agrias clenched her fists, her teeth chattering. Without having to ask, he knew who the cause was. He turned to Amon with a furious look on his face.
"Asshole... are you crazy?"
The two ck-robed demons showed the same reaction as Agrias.
In contrast, Amon seemed to chuckle at the angry demons before him.
"Don''t be arrogant just because of winning numbers. Don''t you know who I am? I am Amon Surtur. The Demon Lord of Fire!"
The air was getting hotter. The chains wrapped around Amon''s legs and hands expanded. Eventually, the chains broke. The demon was free from his shackles.
His hair turned a floating red. He was ready to fight.
"Let''s begin!"
Instantly Agrias'' face turned serious. So did the two ck-robed demons.

A pir of fire zed in the center of the battlefield. The antfolk ran away with their hysterical screams. Some of them were burned alive.
Isaac stared at the fire with a stunned expression.
"Amon... that must be him. Crazy bastard."
The name was still stuck in his head. Amon was a rank 9 demon, just below Duke Barbatos. Like their rank, their strengths differed slightly.
In his previous life, Isaac remembered that Amon had once challenged Duke Barbatos to a PvP. After the battle, the duke seemed passive and showed no movement for several months. Based on rumors, because of Amon''s attack, Duke Barbatos had to suffer heavy losses.
"His strength will be of great help in this battle. But it is not enough. The Queen must act immediately."
Watching the battle unfold, Isaac grew increasingly worried. Within a few minutes almost half the antfolk warriors were dead. The demons began to cast AoE magic that could take out dozens of monsters in the blink of an eye.
The longer the battle, the higher the chance of Isaac''s n failing.
"Isaac, what''s the situation?"
A familiar sounded in the midst of the chaotic battle. Isaac turned his head, an antfolk in gray armor stood next to him.
"Kaies... everything went ording to n."
"n, huh?" a sarcastic tone came from the antfolk''s mouth. "Watching my people being ughtered like insects was ording to n?"
Isaacughed, but he tried to hold it in. Of course, Kaies liked it.
"Why are youughing? You think it''s funny, huh?" The antfolk gave him a look of displeasure.
Isaac smiled as he shook his head. "I''m sorry. But you are indeed insects. At least your blood is. Ah, nevermind." He shook his head. "What about the Queen''s preparations?"
Kaies still had an angry look on his face. He still did not ept Isaac''s word, but this was not the time to vent anger.
"It will be a while. The Queen is still studying the skill roll you gave him."
"Hmm, she better hurry up. Or this sacrifice will be in vain."
The antfolk looked desperate. Some of them were running away from the demons. Some were desperate to attack the demons while shouting hysterically, even though the demons were casting powerful magic. Some stood still with their bodies shaking.
They werepletely helpless.
At that moment of desperation, suddenly the bodies of the antfolk lit up. A great power flowed through their bodies. The wounds on their bodies also healed. They looked astonished, while at the same time feeling amazed.
"What is this?"
"Power?"
"My body feel light."
From the back row, a beautiful woman appeared riding a chariot pulled by antfolk. The woman wore battle armor, her body shiny, her long golden hair floating in the air. She held her hands while closing her eyes.
The antfolk felt a strong presence behind them. Then, they gave all their attention to the woman.
"My people!" the woman eximed.
"I know, this battle has been hard. Many of our brothers have fallen. Many of our brothers became lifeless flesh. But their deaths were not in vain. Their deaths will be remembered by our future generations. Today, we drove out the invaders. The criminals. We defeated those cursed creatures."
"Yeaah!"
The antfolk cheered excitedly. The fear that had gripped their hearts disappeared, reced by a spirit that carried hope.
"Let us show you the power of the Ant Kingdom. Antfolk, raise your weapons and puff out your chests. Attack the invaders!"
"Uraaaa!"
The sound of screams echoed. The antfolk attacked the demons again. Those who were previously frozen in fear began to move again. Those who fled returned to face their enemies. Theirbat morale returned. Even higher than before.
The sea of ants was surging again.
"Damn it! These ants are crazy."
"Someone must have given them a buff."
"Troublesome."
The ck-robed demons began to grumble in annoyance.
They did not remain silent. Elemental magic spells began to be chanted. The sea of fire burned. The ground was sticking up. Hurricane winds swirled. Water dragons bulldozed the antfolk.
The battlefield turned into a disaster ce.
Isaac who saw the scene before him couldn''t blink an eye.
"Gosh, this is really chaotic. But this is good. Their attention ispletely focused on these ants."
A grin crossed Isaac''s face.
From the beginning, Isaa had nned to divert the demons'' attention to the antfolk.
Before the Queen and her army departed, he proposed a n.
Of course, the n would not be epted easily. Therefore, he persuaded Kaies. He gave Kaies the n, and allowed that antfolk to im his n.
Kaies had be the Queen''s confidant. But he still felt inadequate. His inferiorityplex to Yandez made that antfolk greedy. With a little lure from Isaac, he epted it.
Isaac gave her some magic scrolls to learn, tricking the antfolk Queen with a buff magic. Kaies backed up Isaac''s assertion, getting the queen to agree.
However, this was not all of her ns. There was still one more toe.
