Chapter 995: Chaos and Demon Miasma (2/2)

Eventually, it arrived on the third floor from the top, freeing the demons one after another before it noticed that one of the cells was vacant. It was odd because all the cells at the top were always filled with demons. Only the bottom floors had empty cells.

But upon seeing that it was empty, it didn't bother thinking about it further. The Cloud Whale no longer appeared before it. So, it swiftly appeared on the terrace once, glancing around to pick their route before returning into the building.

The Red Demon looked at the differently colored demons, telling them, ”I won't tell you the way I was rescued in case you spill the secret to the humans lest you get captured. We are in the heart of the Human City. Escaping would be difficult. We might even get captured once again.”

”If it feels like you'll get captured, you know what to do, right?” It then glared at the demons, watching them nod in response. The lot of them congregated on the ground floor, overcrowding the place to the extent some of the demons had to remain on the second floor.

Having eaten the guards, they were brimming with strength now. Following the Red Demon's lead, they broke through the prison entrance, spilling out like a tsunami as the humans that witnessed the scene were frightened.

”They're finally leaving.” Krune heaved a sigh in relief as the Cloud Whale opened his cell door. It then manifested around him, bringing him out of the door before placing him on the corridor. It then brought his bag.

Upon seeing that the Red Demon had basically cleared out the prison cell, Krune was glad. But, just at this time, another thought struck him, 'Right, if the bag disappeared, then it would seem obvious that I had escaped. I don't want them to search for me later.'

Krune observed the state of the chairs in the other cells, making the Cloud Whale bigger as it did the same to his chair as well. This way, it would seem like he hadn't escaped, but had been devoured by the demons.

To make that, the Cloud Whale sucked in the blood on the corridor, splattering it on his chair exactly as how it would look if he was devoured there. And to make it seem real, it sucked in his blood and added it to the blood mixture.

The blood indeed froze up, but thanks to the temperature difference, it was thawing slowly. That level of detail was enough to make it apparent that he was indeed killed in the place. Krune didn't forget to do the same to the Red Demon's chair.

Now, there was no way for the investigations to conclude his hand in this. After all, he had displayed his abilities to countless people in the battlefield. So, it was easy to make deductions based on the extent of the damage.

Because of that, he had no choice but to leave his bag behind. As for the Frozen and Exploding Cylinders, he exploded them in the room, making it seem like they had exploded when the demons had fiddled around.

The heat from the exploding cylinders set the room aflame as the fire soon spread towards the other rooms as well.

'The perfect way to destroy all traces of me,' Krune thought as the Cloud Whale placed all his important items in a tiny bag he had stolen from the office room above. It seemed like a common bag, and there were countless such bags there, so it wouldn't be noticeable if one of them went missing.

Besides, there were bigger problems to worry about for the humans.

The Cloud Whale manifested around him as Krune lay within it in a sleeping pose, having closed his eyes. He relied on his Sonic Radar to navigate, using the third Blood Essence Crystal. The same as before, the Cloud Whale turned invisible.

As the prison entrance had been blasted wide open, it flew out stealthily. Krune was able to see the extent of damage the demons had wrecked around. Those imprisoned had been higher up in the food chain.

So, each demon was immensely strong. With that, the average human soldier was unable to face them as the demon horde massacred their way through, razing the place to fire as numerous sky scrappers collapsed to the ground.

It seemed the Red Demon had placed to wreck as much damage as possible to the human city while they were escaping. Moreover, all the demons constantly devoured the humans they had killed, digesting their spoils as they released their signature miasma, filling up the air slowly.

This miasma rejuvenated them, healing them immediately upon any injury. As the miasma spread, they became stronger, able to fight better and devour even more humans. Through that, they released even more miasma, causing a beneficial cycle to them and a vicious cycle to the humans.

As for the perpetrator, he was escaping using the Cloud Whale, unaffected by the death and chaos below, continuing to head far away from the chaos of the place.
