Chapter 1022: Tier 5 Essence (1/2)
Uncaring about his bleeding left hand, Krune gazed at the Red Demon's frozen expression, muttering as he punched its eyes, ”Pick your enemies wisely in the future.”
He punched its eyes with all his might, causing his blood to spill out of his fist, forming a blade of blood that punched through its eyes, piercing its brain. Using Moving Ripple, the blade of blood travelled radially, having divided into numerous smaller needles.
The needles of blood were like the spikes on a Morningstar's head, piercing the brain in numerous locations. Even though the toughness of the brain's muscles caused the blood needles to break repeatedly, Krune attacked nonstop.
Moreover, his blood caused the brain to freeze, turning into a layer of ice which prevented the Red Demon from reacting to his attacks. He then punched it nonstop, stomping it to the ground as he grabbed hold of its horns, ripping its head apart.
Knowing very well that as long as a demon's core was intact, it would be able to revive perfectly upon coming in contact with miasma. That was why the first demon he had killed upon arriving at Layer 2 revived soon after.
It was because he hadn't attacked its Demon Core. Then again, even if he ripped it out then, thanks to the miasma around him, the core would have condensed flesh around itself soon after, reviving the demon.
But now, there was no miasma in the surroundings to help the Red Demon's revival. To prevent any additional problems, he inserted his right hand through a hole he poked through using his blood blades, pulling out its Demon Core.
Smiling, he pocketed it before kicking the Red Demon's corpse constantly to seep the external blood into it and thaw the frozen internals. He didn't wish for there to be any traces of his attacks in its body that could be researched upon.
Moreover, he stealthily took out an ice sphere from his pouch, putting it into the Red Demon's head, shattering it immediately. In it was a highly condensed miasma that Hazak had taken a month to condense.
When it shattered, it coursed through the Red Demon's body, beginning to melt all the ice before melting the shattered body of the Cloud Whale and his left hand. Soon, both of them were completely digested by the miasma, along with the numerous hands in its belly.
Thanks to this miasma, the Red Demon's body began to regenerate, rapidly growing to the extent it grew out another head. But no matter what, it would no longer revive, having lost its Demon Core.
Krune plopped to the ground, muttering with a broken voice, ”Finally, it's over.”
His healing effect continued to heal him as Krune watched numerous Green Demons spring towards him, intending to devour him while he was in a weakened state. Flita and Wrister arrived on time, killing all the Green Demons and any other demon that approached Krune.
A couple of nearby Yellow Demons arrived, intending to eat the human that had managed to kill a Red Demon. Wrister dealt with the two while Flita kept watch over Krune, unwilling to give a chance for anyone to sneak attack on him.
