Chapter 1028: This is…Spiritual Energy? (2/2)

Hazak quickly followed him while the old lady did the same after locking up the treasury.

Once Krune reached the open balcony, he asked Hazak, ”A Black Demon always sits at the end of the stairs to the battlefield, right?”

”Yes.” Hazak nodded. ”Until I was active on the battlefield, I always saw it there. But my Lord, it would be impossible to win against it even with our powers combined. Every Black Demon would be at the peak of its weight class, 3000 kilograms. With a difference of 1000 kilograms, we wouldn't be able to hold a candle to it.”

”Sir…Krune, are you planning to fight a Demon God?” the old lady asked in shock. ”Please, that would be impossible.”

”Why do you say so?” Krune asked as the air around him turned colder.

”I faced against it once,” the old lady replied. ”And...I don't even know what happened after that. My limbs had vanished, and I eventually lay on the ground.”

”Then…” Krune stopped.

The old lady understood what he wished to ask next. It was why she was still alive. The old lady said, ”For some reason, it spared me and then left me with its horn.”

”It left its horn with you?” Krune was surprised for a moment as numerous thoughts clashed in his mind. He then thought of something, asking in a hurry, ”Did you place the horn in your treasury?”

”Yes, every item of value is placed there,” the old lady said, watching Krune's expression change.

Krune then looked at Hazak and asked, ”No Black Demons have ever been killed, right?”

”Not that I know of. But since the humans only have Tier 5 strength, that means no Black Demon has ever been killed,” Hazak replied.

”Let's return to the treasury right away,” Krune said, running through the palace. The old lady and Hazak followed after him. Soon, they arrived before it once again as the old lady opened it.

After entering it, she pointed towards the altar where the Demon God's horn had been kept. Krune arrived before it, noticing that nothing seemed odd at first glance in the place. However, as he focused, opening up all his senses, he perceived faint Spiritual Energy in the place.

'Spiritual Energy?' Krune was shocked to find it here. But, he then followed the faint trail of Spiritual Energy. He had only managed to sense it because he once used it. A regular mortal that hadn't ever come across Spiritual Energy wouldn't even manage to notice such a faint trace.

Following it, Krune came across a storage ring.
