Chapter 1015: Hazak’s 1650 Kilograms (1/2)

Krune realized that he had really underestimated the demons, thinking that they wouldn't be that strong compared to himself, who had five passive abilities and an active ability to rely on. Sadly for him, reality proved otherwise.

At lower tiers, this would have been apparent. But at higher tiers, the strength of the fleshly body was too high to be compared. So, because he was a tier lower, Krune was unable to retaliate properly. On one side, he hadn't faced any demons until now, except for that time when he had just arrived at Layer 2.

Not only that, but he still hadn't gotten accustomed to using his abilities alongside his strengthened body. Krune was still in the process of fusing the two into one battle form, hence the fight with Hazak.

As he lay battered on the floor, Krune thought about the mistakes he had committed that caused him to be put in a passive state. He wasn't quick in defending himself right from the get-go. Rather, he hadn't activated Sonic Radar right at the start but had only done so after tanking the first attack to his face.

This caused him to lose his initiative, being forced into a passive state where he had to be constantly hit by Hazak. Every hit from Hazak was deadly. Soon, Krune realized that for a Red Demon, killing a warrior at the peak of Tier 4 only took three punches. If the Tier 4 warrior was distracted, then the required number of punches was even lower.

As for Krune, it was only due to his numerous abilities that he was able to last so long. But even when he retaliated, he failed to damage Hazak. His ice sword barely scratched Hazak's skin. He had been confident of the ice sword's capabilities since it had already surpassed his Whale Tooth Sword in sharpness and sturdiness.

The fact that something of such a caliber broke from a single impact from Hazak proved just how strong a Red Demon was. A Red Demon was a Tier 5 Demon, called a Supreme Demon. It weighed between 1400-2000 kilograms.

At present, Hazak was only mimicking a Red Demon that weighed around 1500 kilograms. It didn't even output the peak capability of a Red Demon, not to mention unleashing its true strength that it gained from devouring 70 Blood Essence Crystals.

Thanks to Krune training it every day for the past two-plus years, and feeding it with the yellow fishes three to four times a day, it slowly grew in weight. At present, it was at 1650 kilograms. Once it reached 2000 kilograms, Hazak would become even more terrifying.

As for how to fuel its growth, only the miasma was the key. Once a Demon reached Tier 4, turning into the Yellow Demon that was commonly called the Demon Emperor, it was able to emit miasma from its body.

Then again, it usually had to eat something with rich sustenance to produce it. It wasn't capable of producing the miasma normally. As for Hazak, after devouring the yellow fishes, it began to emit some miasma daily, stuffing it in a training room that it had created for itself.

Once the miasma achieved qualitative growth, it began to live inside it while resting, increasing its weight that way. Thanks to that, it was capable of growing. This was the reason Krune was curious about the miasma.
