"Wh-what?" Piggy stammered. "It seems I heard wrong" The fat man still couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"You didn't hear wrong. I will not claim this dungeon."
Hearing Isaac's firm answer, Piggy lowered his shoulders. Disappointment was evident on his face. He had long hoped to find a new master. A master who would treat him well.
However, that hope had to be dashed.
Isaac did not claim the dungeon for no reason. Xenovia was an Earl, a middle-class noble. Despite her ugly and anti-social nature, that female demon had quite a good image. Her strength could not be underestimated. She was the first demon invited by Duke Barbatos into his alliance.
If an Earl was defeated by a Baron, this would certainly attract the attention of the dungeon masters. Especially since it had only been a year since the game started. They would definitely pay more attention to the demon that defeated her. The Dukes would definitely mark the demon.
Isaac would be the bounty.
