Chapter 1009: A Cunning Mind (1/2)

”Sir Pestlor, I've created a legal identity for you.” After processing the words Krune told him in utter disbelief, Wrister eventually handed him an identity card. On it was the face of Krune with a well-trimmed beard, a tiny mustache, and neatly combed hair, all blue in color.

Naturally, he had to dye his hair. After all, no matter his disguise, his rainbow-colored hair was a clear indicator of his identity. So, unless he changed it, he would be spotted no matter where he went within the city. And now that he had changed his getup, Krune looked at the mirror, almost failing to identify himself.

”If even I find it this difficult to recognize myself, I'm sure even Raka wouldn't be able to recognize me.” Smiling, he returned to the first reservoir, noticing that it was completely filled up now. The substance looked like soil, but it was only the remains of the fish paste that the bone trees didn't absorb.

They had accumulated over time and had turned into a type of soil, now filling up the reservoir halfway. Nevertheless, Krune didn't remove them, for he noticed that the bone trees were no longer able to remain afloat using the temporary surfaces he had created.

As he used his Sonic Radar, Krune realized that even the bone trees were gaining weight now. Their height was still the usual three meters, but they were a lot denser now. As a result, the fruits they produced were more potent.

Because of this, a synergistic effect was created as a yellow fish was birthed after a couple of months. This was achieved exactly a year after he had begun growing them. And when he saw a yellow fish, Krune realized that the energy levels contained in it had surpassed a Monster Emperor.

Size-wise, it was only 15 centimeters in length. So, its energy density was stellar. When Krune took a bite of the yellow fish, he was shocked when just one fish alone replenished a quarter of his crimson ring. Just four yellow fishes were enough to fill up a crimson ring full of energy.

That meant he was able to replenish all five crimson rings with a single meal. After all, considering their size, Krune was able to eat through 20 fishes easily. The moment he arrived at such a conclusion, Krune was overjoyed.

He then hopped towards Flita and asked, ”Can you procure me one Tier 3 Essence?”

”Now that grandpa's back in action, that's easy.” Flita nodded and went around to ask her grandpa. As he was already heading towards the battlefield, it was simple. He was also planning to bring in enough Tier 3 and Tier 4 Demon Cores to help increase Flita's strength.

Even though he dealt financial blows to his foes, he hadn't eradicated them yet. He planned to do that while on the battlefield since his foes would definitely not let the chance to end him once and for all pass up anyway.

After all, they previously missed killing him, allowing Flita to grab him and escape. So, it was a guarantee that they would attempt to do something to him this time. To prepare against that, Krune condensed his healing effect worth his entire reserve of energy from the five crimson rings into a tiny ice sphere, giving it to Wrister.
