Chapter 924: Sonic Radar (1/2)

”Ugh.” Krune felt pangs of pain whenever the muscles surrounding him twitched, increasing the pressure applied on him. Every time this happened, he struggled to breathe, feeling a bit suffocated. Not to mention the fact that the walls of the muscles were layered over one another.

Since he was the one who slipped into it, Krune felt difficulty in breathing. After all, there wasn't enough air for him to breathe. At least, in the mouth chamber, there was enough oxygen for him to survive.

It seemed that the spherical creatures also required oxygen to operate. With that, the whale-like creature had evolved accordingly to circulate some of the air it inhaled into its mouth. That was why Krune was able to survive within it peacefully.

But right now, he was facing difficulty in breathing. With that in mind, Krune increased his pace, quickly moving through the muscle walls while severing some parts using the two daggers he had just fashioned. This way, he reduced the muscular pressure on himself while moving forward quickly.

The whale-like fish didn't have any measures against the foe that was damaging it internally. After its internal defense mechanism was destroyed, it didn't have any other methods to protect itself. All it could do was flail in agony as it swam through the ocean waters.

Following the loud thumping sound and the coursing of the sound through the muscle walls, Krune easily followed it to the source, finally cutting apart a muscle section as he arrived before a certain something.

If it wasn't for the Whale Tooth Daggers, he couldn't have gone this far.

The teeth the whale-like fish grew were also used to shred apart the flesh of its prey, may it be fishes or similarly large creatures like itself. So, it was that tough. That was why Krune could cut through its muscles. Although it was time-consuming, it was doable.

At the moment he appeared before its thumping heart, just the sheer sound rattled his internals. Even though his ears were covered by the shells of the spherical creatures, the sound waves still affected him. They just coursed through his body, making him feel strained.

His nerves popped as Krune felt pain in his chest. His blood flow was facing difficulties thanks to the sound. If he delayed any longer, he might be the one to fall apart. After all, the whale-like fish's heart was as big as himself.

With that, Krune lashed out with his dagger, aiming at the spot away from him in fear the pressure of the liquid within would wound him. Krune was aware of just how much power a liquid in high pressure could emit when the outlet was a small hole. In this case, it would be nothing short of a laser beam.

As he was aware of the danger, Krune didn't recklessly make his move, only aiming at the section of the heart that was facing the other side. Also, he didn't directly plunge the knife into it. After all, if a hole was poked, all the blood would gush out and drown himself.

With that, he had to be careful. After taking in a deep breath, Krune carefully cut sections on the whale-like fish's heart, stopping the moment there were faint signs of the blood seeping out. He continued to cut in such a manner, soon stopping when blood began to drip from all over the heart. It seemed like a balloon that was on the verge of bursting.

Krune then took out one of his knives and partially inserted it into a section of the heart muscle he had cut. He then retreated into the muscle folds, ensuring he was fully protected by it. His hand then exited the folds before slamming it into the back of the knife, retracting immediately.

As if a full water balloon was poked by a needle, the whale-like fish's heart burst, spilling out all the blood that had flown into it. The moment its heart burst, the whale-like fish began to lose signs of life.

It was now on the verge of death.

Krune was fully protected by the muscles, avoiding the blood from drowning him completely. Soon, he noticed a thin stream of blood land on his body, only to be absorbed by it soon after. He then roared in joy, ”It worked!”

He hadn't finished his roar of laughter when the blood seeped into him at a massive pace. It wasn't the blood itself that entered him. Rather, it was the essence contained in the blood.

After seeping into his body, it condensed into his throat, causing him to feel burning pain in the region. It felt as if he had drunk boiling hot water.

Krune grunted from the pain, struggling to cope up with it, heaving a sigh of relief after 10 seconds had passed. The burning pain had stopped as he immediately double tapped his glabella, summoning his tablet.

The tablet propped up the muscle walls, giving him a breather. He then looked at the new row of information that had appeared on it, smiling.
