BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88 Ravine
In the midst of a vast expanse of green meadow, there was Isaac along with tens of thousands of his monsters. Among them were Fedorov in a skull mask covering his face and Byakko in battle armor.
In this raid, Isaac only brought his two generals. Asterius was deliberately ordered to remain in charge of the dungeon.
For him, Byakko and Fedorov were more than enough.
Ding!
[Preparation time is over.]
[Please prepare to depart.]
A black portal appeared in front of him. Isaac smiled widely.
"Everyone, let's go!"
"Hyaaaaa!"
An excited roar shook the air. Isaac entered first into the portal, then followed by all his men who were waiting behind.

Baron Gustav looked at the Crystal Core light projection with an impatient look. Next to him was a black man wearing a servant's attire with a flat expression on his face.
"Lord, you seem impatient?" asked the servant.
"Yes, Kirnish. I can't wait to see that loser fall."
Kirnish was the assistant of Baron Gustav. He was just like Pippi, a being born from the existence of the dungeon.
"I hope victory is with you."
Baron Gusta clicked his tongue. "That is for sure. I will crush that loser. How dare he toy with me?!"
Currently, he already had four floors. There are very few Barons who could achieve that. Even though Isaac's dungeon also had four floors, Baron Gustav was sure that it was the result of saving zenny.
Based on the information he received from Baron Loke, Isaac sent his 15,000 troops to a remote settlement in China but ended up losing. From there, it was certain that Isaac did not have a strong enough army.
He was sure Isaac didn't buy any monsters from the auction.
'You'll regret it, for daring to play with me.'
The visual of the light projection changed. A black vortex-shaped portal appeared in his dungeon. His face suddenly changed into a serious one.
The enemy had entered his territory.

The first thing Isaac saw were high cliffs. The wind was blowing hard, and the sound of rustling sand tickled his ears. It was the same sensation as when he entered Baron Gustav's dungeon before.
'It has not changed at all.'
Isaac snorted.
Baron Gustav was a demon who exerted all his strength at the start of the game. He would make the highest difficulty on the 1st Floor. The demon didn't care if the hunter had difficulty climbing the dungeon on the first try.
The reason he was able to survive this far was because his dungeon was in a strategic location, Beijing. It allowed him to continue to receive a sufficient supply of humans until the end of the game.
He would put his strongest troops in the vanguard. That was what Isaac had predicted.
'Let's see if you're still the same as before.'
Isaac, along with fifty of his men, moved forward. They walked along the high cliffs, against the strong winds.
They arrived at the road that connected one cliff to another. The size was very small, only fit for five people to pass.
Isaac stopped his troops. He looked at the surrounding area. There didn't seem to be anything at all. The path before him was clearly a trap.
He then ordered his monsters to check the roads around them, to see if there were any other possible routes. Not long after, he received information that there was a ramp that could be passed by taking the valley route. The other option was he had to make a detour to a safer path, but it would take a long time.
'Oh, so he still used the same way?'
Isaac chuckled. He ordered his men to start crossing the cliff. However, Byakko restrained him.
"Lord, shall we really cross?" Byakko asked. The expression on her face was grim.
Isaac realized that his general felt that something was off. But, he let her be.
"Yes."
Byakko held her master's arm. "I sense that there are many hidden presences here. There is a possibility that we will be attacked when crossing this route."
A grin appeared on his face. "Then, prepare to fight."
The Spiritual Beast's face was full of questions. She was sure her master wasn't a fool who would fall into a trap, but it was the decision the man had made.
Most likely the attack came when Isaac and his men crossed the cliff. Due to the small size of the road and the left and right sides of the ravine, it would limit the movement of troops when fighting, especially if the attack came from the air.
For him, it was easier to go down the cliff and move through the valley, which had a wider road size. Besides, it reduced the risk of death falling from the abyss.
However, Isaac chose otherwise. Of course, for Byakko, the action chosen by her master was like suicide.
She tried to persuade the demon, but Isaac just smiled and calmed her down.
"Believe me, everything will be fine."
Byakko finally obeyed Isaac's words. Most importantly, she had already expressed her concern.
Then, they moved through the small road connecting the cliffs.

Baron Gustav laughed loudly until his voice echoed through the room at the sight of Isaac's decision. He could say this was the dumbest decision he had ever seen.
"Look, Kirnish. He was really stupid. How could he not be aware of such a simple trap? His ancestors were ashamed to see what happened later. I thought he would take a detour or go down the valley, but instead he chose to cross the cliffs."
Kirnish smiled broadly as he lowered his body. "You are right, my lord. He will fall to death. He made an unwise decision. If I were him, I'd take a detour. Even if it takes three days, it's better than dying on the first day."
Baron Gustav had already prepared another trap, waiting for them on the valley route. The cliff route trap was a gimmick to make them choose another route. Of course, the trap was still deadly if they passed it.
HAHAHAHA!
"You're right, Kirnish. He had three options, but he chose the worst option. He is the worst."
Baron Gustav couldn't stop laughing, his voice booming through the room. Kirnish, his servant, watched them with an amused face.
"Use the Harrpy army! Kill that stupid bastard."
A wide smile appeared on his face. He saw Isaac and his army crossing the ravine and imagined their deaths.
