256 Difficult to Control (1/2)
It turned out that the Snake Clan appeared once more. But this time, Krune was not there to help. In the end, Ruik made a quick deal with Tiane. He would do anything she wanted as long as she helped with the situation.
Tiane immediately accepted the idea. Just like that, Ruik brought her close, and they pretended to have a relationship right there and then. Although Tiane was taken aback by that situation, she didn't show it on her face, and ultimately, they were successful in driving the female Snake that came this time around.
Once things were finished, the two immediately separated, and Tiane used her favor straight away. For one entire month, Ruik had to do whatever she said. If not, she didn't mind contacting the Snake Clan, telling them the truth. Ruik might be the way he is, but he still knew how to repay favors.
Since then, Ruik had been there for Tiane's every call. That is also why he looked so gloomy.
Krune and Feifei heard that and were speechless.
”Well, I guess this is fine since he got away from the Snake Clan once more.”
Krune then ignored Ruik and proceeded to explain the situation about the travel to the wisp world.
”So, we were basically waiting for you two to come back to see if we could start our travel. According to Amark Guli, it will probably take a few weeks to go there and come back. If any of you want to stay during this time, that's good as well.”
Ruik immediately agreed with the idea.
”I want to go, I wish to see how the wisp world is too.”
Tiane also accepted it.
”Since Feifei is going, I'm definitely following. When are we departing?”
Krune pondered a bit and said.
”Well, I will need a few more days before that. So you can spend your time whoever you like. I will contact you three when I'm ready to go.”
Ruik and Tiane nodded. The four of them talked about a few more things, and then Krune and Feifei returned to their rooms.
Ruik then got up and was moving to his room to take another nap when suddenly, Tiane called him out.
”Alright. Ruik, I'm going to buy a few things, come to help me out.”
Ruik's mouth twitched, but due to their agreement, he still had over three weeks to keep hearing what she says.
”Okay.”
Tiane showed an angry face.
”Okay?”
Ruik almost exploded, but still hold himself back.
”Y-Yes, Lady Tiane.”
Tiane smiled and then nodded.
”That's more like it, be a good little snake and come with me.”
Back in Krune's room, he started to comprehend the Flash Annihilation sub-law again. That is the reason why he asked for a few more days.
'I few that I'm close to success. Once I understand the initial Stage, I will be able to use it in my Tribulation Lightning. As for the other laws, they can wait for now.'
Time passed, and soon, five days went by.
The reason is that two days ago, Krune finally got into the initial Stage of the Flash Annihilation Law. The following two, he had been trying to use it together with his Tribulation Lightning. But it turned out that it was harder than he thought. If not for the protection formation that Feifei raised in the house, Krune might have destroyed it already.
”This thing is too hard. It's like a ranging dragon!”
Light Spirit Laughed hearing that.
”It just means that your control isn't good enough. Also, this is just the initial stage of one of the laws. The more you comprehend, the greater will be the changes in the Tribulation Lightning. Still, you should have no reason to complain.”
Krune nodded.
Controlling the Flash Annihilation Law in the Tribulation Lightning had increased its power considerably. This isn't the kind of power that one could gain in such a small amount of time, so Krune really had no reason to complain.
”Anyway, you should stop now. Forcing the issue might turn things worse in the end. Just give yourself some time to get used to the Flash Annihilation Law.”
Krune nodded.
”Alright, since that's the case, we are almost ready to start our travel to the wisp world. There is only one last thing remaining.”
