Chapter 1024: The Smiling Monster (1/2)

”Well, let's head inside first,” Krune told Hazak after that as the Cloud Whale slowly flew, arriving before the prison's entrance as he used his Sonic Radar. Thanks to his increased strength and his unceasing daily training, his Sonic Radar was leaps and bounds better than when he first arrived at Layer 2.

Now, he was completely able to see through the entire prison, able to judge the material strength of the walls, scan through the people and demons within, and obtain a precise three-dimensional image of everything.

On top of that, having used it enough times, he no longer had to think about what he perceived through Sonic Radar. Everything was instinct now. His brain didn't even need to process most of the information he perceived. Everything was already in him as muscle memory.

So in an instant, Krune saw two figures seated at the topmost floor of the prison. Their body density was a cut above the rest, dense to the extent his Sonic Radar was unable to fully penetrate through their bodies.

Upon seeing their figures, Krune determined that it was Raka and the rectangular-faced man that he met when he first arrived at the city.

Krune gazed at Hazak and asked, ”What do you plan to do with the demons held captive within the prison?”

”I will only do what is beneficial to you, Sir Pestlor,” Hazak replied. ”We demons don't have a sense of camaraderie in the first place. So, I don't actually care about their well-being.”

”Then, there's a middle-aged old man inside. I want you to fight him. Don't kill him, but sever his limbs first,” Krune ordered, watching Hazak nod in response as he drove the Cloud Whale towards the prison's entrance.

There was enough security at the place. Plus, there wasn't enough of a gap to just drive the Cloud Whale through. So, Krune had no choice but to deactivate the Cloud Whale. Coincidentally, he had deactivated it right when it touched the ground.

So, they weren't even detected by the guards that otherwise would have had he deactivated it in the air, causing them to fall to the ground. The moment the Cloud Whale vanished, the two landed on the ground, instantly accelerating to the peak.

They passed through the door and headed up the stairs, undetected by the guards. Rather, a couple of seconds later, intense gales were created, causing everyone to scream in surprise.

”Who the heck are you?” Raka frowned as she hurriedly picked up her weapon, glaring at the two individuals that burst through the doors, standing before them with imposing momentum.

”You sure you don't remember me?” Krune smiled, pointing at himself. ”You even took my tablet and armor. While at it, you also tortured me pretty horribly.”

”Y-You were alive?” Raka finally realized it as she exchanged glances with her master, the rectangular-faced man. The two of them shot a glance at Hazak, shuddering upon looking at its appearance.
