Chapter 1010: Lord Krune (1/2)
Ten days later, Krune finished obtaining the effect from the Tier 3 Essence, now weighing 490 kilograms, just 10 kilograms short of reaching the peak of Tier 2.
Seeing how closed he was, he wished to perform an experiment. Since he already incorporated the effect of the Tier 3 Essence in his Ocean Heart's development effect, he wished to see if he would face any obstacles once he reached the peak of Tier 2 or if the development effect would take him straight into Tier 3.
It was only possible for him to experiment now when the cost was cheaper and the time required was less. If he tried this in Tier 4, it might cost a lot more. After all, Wrister had to hunt a Demon Emperor to obtain a Tier 4 Demon Core.
And to do that, he had to risk his life. Plus, it wasn't guaranteed that he would emerge victorious all the time. Nevertheless, Krune laughed when he reached 500 kilograms in weight. And the next day, he reached 501 kilograms without any hindrances.
It led him to conclude that his development effect was no different from the Essence. So, as long as he obtained a Tier 5 Essence, he would be able to reach the peak of Tier 5 without any problems. After all, no matter what type of Essence it was, he was only able to grow by a kilogram per day.
So, the only thing inhibiting him was the restrictions of the tiers. Upon reaching this level of thought, Krune summoned Flita and Wrister, telling them, ”I have an important announcement.”
”Please say it, my Lord…Sir Pestlor.” Wrister corrected himself, trying his best to treat Krune as an equal. But at times, his sense of respect oozed out as zealous worship. After all, he was having the yellow fish as his meals daily.
Considering the tremendous energy he was obtaining, it made him wish to head into the battlefield daily and slaughter his enemies. Also, because everything had changed once Krune had arrived, it would be impossible for him to not look up to Krune.
He maintained it as a secret, but he was already silently praying to Krune daily. It had become his habit. As for Flita, even though she didn't show it on her exterior, she too was doing the same to Krune.
Oblivious to what was going on in their minds, Krune said, ”Somehow, we need to obtain a Tier 5 Demon Core. That should be our goal for now. Once we obtain that, we won't need to hunt for Demon Cores again. However, once we do so, I'll be able to elevate both of you to the peak of Tier 5.”
Upon hearing his words, Flita and Wrister didn't even doubt him for a moment. Rather, they thought the same, 'Please forgive my impudence for only praying once a day, God Krune. I'll pray three times daily from now on!'
”Yes, Sir Pestlor!” They said in unison.
Wrister then told Krune after he was done, ”Sadly, it won't be possible to buy a Tier 4 Demon Core, not to mention a Tier 5. Anyone who has that would be a powerhouse, so no one sells them. Even Tier 3 Demon Cores won't ever be sold. The limit to what can be bought in the market are only Tier 2 Demon Cores.”
”Then…” Krune nodded as he said, ”We'll wait until all three of us reach the peak of Tier 4. Then, we'll hunt a Red Demon. We'll train daily to prepare for that day.”
”Yes!” Wrister and Flita replied in unison, excited at the prospect of reaching Tier 5, a realm only the pillars of their city could achieve. Once they achieved that, they could ensure their successive generations would also reach Tier 5.
