Chapter 914: Krune Takes Action (1/2)

The clone jabbed a couple more times before shrinking the lava sphere to a certain extent. More than half of the entity's body within was peaking out now. But out of nowhere, before it could react, the entity curled its body and leaped out, falling straight towards the sea of lava below.

It seemed intent to enter the sea of lava and build itself slowly over time, just like what it had done at the start.

In any case, it didn't have any methods to accelerate itself. All it could do was freefall towards its destination. Unfortunately for it, Krune had a lot of methods under his disposal.

The clone flew and caught up to it, using its hand to grab hold of the entity. Fortunately, the entity lacked the strength to resist. It seemed it was only able to maintain the floating island and didn't have any other abilities.

Krune stared at it for some time through the shared thoughts with the clone. Eventually, he decided to carefully cut out the rock cluster sphere embedded in the center of its body.

Though, the moment the clone did so, the entity stopped moving, no longer behaving like something alive. It froze up, now no different from rigid rock.

The moment Krune grabbed hold of the rock cluster sphere from the clone, he sensed the dot on his glabella stirring up. He then summoned the tablet and noticed the string of words that appeared on it.

[Obtained 1 Floating Island Core]

[Reward: 1 Godly Point]

Krune then punched the tablet, looking at the stats to see his name appear on the fourth row, right under Grancey as he muttered to himself, ”I'm the fourth person to obtain a Godly Point here.”

He calculated the time taken from the start to the end, chuckling, ”Only 16 hours. Alright, then. Let's get rolling.”

Krune then stared at the body of the entity that remained behind, thinking for a moment as his clone held it. It then seeped in a bit of Godly Energy into it, noticing how there wasn't any reaction. In fact, the rock wasn't even capable of absorbing Godly Energy.

Krune tried to attach the floating island core to the rock entity, failing to do so. After trying for a couple of minutes, he left it as is, storing both in his storage ring. ”I'll think about them later.”

After everyone retreated into the subspace, the Escapist flapped its wings and sped towards the nearest floating island it could spot. Followed by it was the thunderous rumble of the Pestlor slamming into the floating island.

The advantage he had coped up allowed him to execute the process with ease. With that, Krune was just chilling on the side while three of his clones did all the work. If not for the fact there was only one Pestlor, he would have employed the other clones as well for the task. After all, he had six of them to use.

Unfortunately, he was pressed for time and wasn't able to make another one. Moreover, now that he was wielding Pestlor, Krune also noticed something, realizing that his previous conjecture was slightly wrong.

The rocks in the region, Epic Hell, would lose their property the moment they left the region. They wouldn't lose their inherent quality, though, but just that they would remain in a deactivated state.

And suppose Krune returned to Epic Hell, their property would become active once again. When he left the Sub-Realm, they would turn into normal rocks. Upon realizing that, Krune sighed, shaking his head in pity.

Even then, one of the clones stored a large-sized boulder in a storage ring prepared exclusively to store it. It was just in case he obtained another idea. It would be regretful if he didn't have the necessary materials by then.

Days passed in such a manner as Krune's score increased rapidly. Soon, he tied with the one at third place, Grancey, causing three individuals in the region, Epic Hell, to be shocked.

”That demon beast I saw before, was it Krune?” Clutching a floating island core in her hands, Grancey frowned. She regained third place immediately upon obtaining the recent floating island core. But she wasn't satisfied with that.

At the speed Krune was accumulating Godly Points, it was certain for him to overtake her soon enough. ”Thankfully, there isn't even a day left. He has just obtained a Godly Point. Considering his speed over the past 17 days, he needs around 15-18 hours per Godly Point.”

Currently, Krune had 25 Godly Points while Grancey had 26. They were neck and deep against one another. In order to stay ahead, Grancey immediately pounced upon a floating island she had been eyeing all along.

It was the smallest out of all the floating islands she had encountered. It barely had a radius of thirty meters. With that, she had enough confidence in obtaining one more Godly Point before their stay in the region ended. That would fortify her third position. After all, even if Krune obtained an easy floating island, he would still need two points to draw with her.

Thankfully for her, Krune wasn't focused on getting Godly Points any longer. After obtaining 25 Godly Points, his priority changed as Krune arrived before a certain floating island once again.
