Chapter 1011: Hazak (2/2)

”B-But, Lord Krune…” Hazak, the Red Demon stammered, unable to articulate its words as it didn't wish to show even the slightest of disrespect.

”Krune is fine. And for the moment, address me as Pestlor,” Krune clarified. ”If you still want to address me with a title, a simple sir is fine.”

”Understood, Sir Pestlor,” Hazak responded, getting up once it was prompted to do so by Krune.

Krune then looked at Wrister and Flita, saying, ”You guys don't need to worry about it. It's loyal to me.”

”B-But, it…” Wrister trembled as he said, ”It's stronger than the strongest of Red Demons I've seen to date.”

”Well yeah,” Krune coughed once as he thought, 'It has swallowed 70 Blood Essence Crystals and managed to digest them all. Of course, he would be insanely strong.'

”Anyways, you don't need to fear it.” Krune then looked at Hazak, saying, ”These two are important comrades that have helped me tremendously. Treat them well.”

”Yes.” Hazak bowed immediately, even cupping its fists while facing Wrister and Flita one by one. But even after it had done so, showing a respectful demeanor, the grandfather and grandchild were still unable to calm down.

To them, the strength of a Red Demon was apparent. And precisely because of that, to the Red Demon before them that surpassed the strength of all Red Demons, they could only assume it to be on the same level as the strongest extent in their world—Layer 2.

Demon God!

A demon of myth, almost legend that had only fleetingly appeared on the battlefields rarely. A figure that was said to be capable of destroying a city almost on its own, unless the city unleashed all the trump cards it had been saving up for at least a century.

And now, a being almost on its level stood before them. So, it would be strange if they were calm. But upon seeing that they were struggling to cope with it, Krune excused himself, motioning for Hazak to follow him as they headed towards the second reservoir.

Upon seeing all the yellow fishes, Hazak was gobsmacked, his eyes widened to the extent it seemed like his eyeballs would fall out, ”T-This is?”

”Ah, this? That's just our food.” Krune replied, lightly dismissing it. But, his casual actions ended up stunning Hazak into submission even more, the faint vestiges of its former self vanishing without a trace,

”Now, before we talk about serious business...” Krune looked around, thinking for a moment as he smiled, noticing Hazak's thin appearance before suggesting, ”Let's eat first.”
