Chapter 587: Helping Out (1/2)

One thing made Krune puzzled, though. He then looked at Iem and asked through a Divine Sense Message.

”Without sentience, those underground demon beasts can only move on instinct. In that case, how come they joined together for this assault? Not only that, but they are also separated in ranks, with the strongest ones being on the back. Also, what relation does it have with the protection barrier?”

Iem pondered a bit before saying.

”I don't know about how they can organize like this. Perhaps it's just instinct built after thousands of years of beast hordes. They came to slowly understand that this is the best way to advance after so many tries.”

Krune had to admit that Iem's words had some credibility.

Iem then continued.

”As for the city's protection disappearance, I have an idea. Most likely, it's not that the demon beasts come when it is about to disappear. Instead, the barrier disappears after the beast horde comes. Look at the number of demon beasts outside. If all of that attacks the barrier together, it will sooner or later crumble. Suppose this protection formation is destroyed in that way. In that case, it will be very complicated to repair in a resourceless place like this Underground City. That being said, it is better to turn it off so that it can be used during the years that the beast hordes don't appear.”

Krune agreed with Iem.

”I see... That makes sense. In that case, whoever is controlling the barrier, and turning it off is most likely in the Godly Tower. It seems like we have one more reason to go there later.”

As Krune and Iem talked, the first waves arrived at the city's wall. The first group of Soul Forging Realm cultivator engaged the Demon Beasts promptly. The higher level cultivators didn't step forward since they had to save their energies for the stronger demon beasts. However, Krune didn't like to see all those deaths, so he decided to give a hand from far away.

Of course, Krune was talking about both sides. So he summoned arcs of lightning that struck the demon beasts, causing severe injuries and making them faint. Of course, it wasn't Luvile's Purple Tribulation Lightning. Krune's attack didn't kill any of them but ended their time in the siege. Obviously, the cultivators close to where Krune was attacking rejoiced with that.

Elder Huan looked at Krune and gave him a warning.

”Save your energy for the time the 15 to 20 meters Rarin Worms come. If you tire yourself now, you will increase the chances of dying when your strength becomes necessary. It might look like you are saving our companions, but once you die, the stronger beasts that you could have fought against will cause even greater damage than what you prevented here.”

Krune smiled at Elder Huan before answering.

”That's why I'm not using much energy. These attacks I'm sending out are not enough to surpass my rate of recovery. I can continue like this for an entire month, and I won't get tired.”

Elder Huan was taken aback. He then looked at the lightning flying at the demon beasts in the distance and narrowed his eyes. Krune's attacks were really strong and seemed to use a lot of energy, so it was hard to believe Krune.

”Are you sure you won't run out of energy?”

Krune nodded with a confident expression.

”I'm really good at absorbing Godly Energy, elder Huan has no need to worry.”

Huan could only nod in the end. Still, he paid close attention to Krune. If he sees that Krune is starting to faltering, he will immediately stop him. Suddenly, a fireball's shower began to strike another side of the wave. This time, the one who was doing it was Iem. Obviously, those fireballs were just normal ones. Iem didn't use the Devil Flame God's power.

”You too?”

Iem laughed out loud before saying.
