After that, they also created three large Frozen Cylinders that would serve as their trump cards. They each held 100 milliliters of his frozen blood. So, if they faced a behemoth of a creature, the large Frozen Cylinders would prove effective.

Of course, that wasn't the only grenades they possessed. The Seamstress also accumulated her Heat Radiance in some coral cylinders she made. They worked similar to the Frozen Cylinder. But, there was a difference here.

The Frozen Cylinder directly used his frozen blood to create a freezing effect. But, the Seamstress didn't possess such blood. So, she used another technique to make bombs out of it. As she already stored intense heat within her coral sword and only unleashed it when necessary to melt objects, she used the same principle here.

She stored a reasonable amount of heat in a coral cylinder and filled it with water. There were two compartments within, a chamber where the water was stored and another block of coral where the heat was retained.

Similar to the Frozen Cylinder, when a pin was pulled, the block would release all its heat, instantly vaporizing the water, causing it to explode. To increase its efficacy, she also added some coral fragments that she had refined within the water. When it exploded, the coral fragments would act as shrapnel. This was almost like a real grenade.

Sadly, Krune took the chance to name it, calling it the Exploding Cylinder. The Seamstress rolled her eyes while accepting the name. As it took too much time to create, the Seamstress only managed to create five for each.

After that, she made arrowheads using her coral that, upon piercing, would emit intense heat, enough to melt flesh. In total, they had prepared an arsenal of weapons while waiting for the bone trees to bulge even more until they looked like miniature versions of the Paddle.

Among their branches were numerous massive fruits, something that would cause a Mutant to become a King. Krune knew that only one among them was real. Based on experience, he was able to guess them accurately by now.

Around three months later, the fruits had ripened. They had taken a considerably longer duration than in the Primary Landmass. The reason might be because they had absorbed too much variety of blood that they weren't able to concentrate one type of essence.

In the Primary Landmass, all the blood only belonged to the Monster Gecko. The rest was only ocean water. So, they were able to concentrate the essence and process faster.

Though finally, once the fruits ripened, Krune heaved a sigh in relief. In the meantime, their arsenal consisted of 20 Frozen Arrows, 20 Heated Arrows, 24 Frozen Cylinders, 6 big Frozen Cylinders, and 10 exploding cylinders. They were equally divided between the two.

Moreover, they also had around 100 normal arrows that they planned to use against the small fry. Overall, they were completely geared up for war.

”Let's pull them up on board,” Krune said as he placed three tubs on the boat floor. He scooped out the ocean water and filled them, barely enough for the Motor Fishes to survive but not enough for them to use their abilities and escape.

Krune and the Seamstress then carried three Motor Fishes and placed them in a tub each. The tubs were then shielded by a cage, giving the Motor Fishes no chance to escape in the unlikely event. Though, they were a tameable species from the start and had already been tamed by them.

Upon seeing that the cages worked perfectly, Krune smiled as he plucked out three massive fruits from the bone trees.

”What about the rest of the fruits?” the Seamstress asked in curiosity.

”They're fakes,” Krune replied as he placed a fruit in each tub, closing the cage immediately. Without him needing to urge them, the three Motor Fishes jumped on the massive fruits immediately. But, even though he called them massive fruits, they were only half the size of the Motor Fishes.

The fault to be attributed here was the numerous miscellaneous fish blood Krune had made the bone trees absorb. If it had only been the blood of the Motor Fishes, then the massive fruit would have been as big as the Mutated Motor Fishes.

Unfortunately, they didn't have that many Motor Fishes. So, Krune had to work on it differently. In the end, as long as they reached the status as a King, he would be content with them. The Seamstress held three Water Essences in her hands, just in case they failed to handle the stress.

Krune held the Whale Tooth Dagger in his hand as he turned around and looked, noticing that all the three bone trees began to wilt. He smiled, thinking that he had picked the fruits correctly.
