Chapter 1029: The Scheme of the Demon Gods (2/2)

”Sir Krune,” Hazak said. ”Even if I eat this horn, I won't break through my current limit. Even if I eat a Black Demon's body, there's no guarantee I might be able to break past my current limit. Maybe there's a chance if I continue to absorb the miasma every day.”

”Then...” Krune smiled, looking at the old lady. ”I'll take this horn with me. In exchange, no matter how many people you bring, I'll heal them all.”

”What?” The old lady was shocked to hear such a thing. ”You can do that?”

”Indeed, I can.” Krune patted her shoulder, emitting his Neon Radiance by fusing the healing effect of his Ocean Heart into it, causing the old lady to flinch in shock as she felt invigorated.

Once the exchange was complete, Krune carried the Black Demon's horn with him, smiling as he and Hazak left the palace, returning to their home soon after. As for the old lady, he told her to come to the Ralk family mansion if she wished to meet him.

Returning to their secret hideout, Krune patted Hazak's shoulder and told him, ”The rest will depend on how much miasma you can produce.”

”Please leave it to me,” Hazak said, entering its air-tight room to begin producing miasma. Krune constantly fed it red fish, giving it more than enough energy for the task.

In the meantime, he wore his Monster Gecko armor once again, noticing that it was completely in tatters now. He then infused the healing effect in it, noticing that it was unable to heal.

After thinking of something, he also infused the development effect into it, causing it to recover slowly. As another idea popped up in his mind, Krune entered the room with the miasma. The miasma immediately began to burn him.

However, the effect wasn't to the extent when he first appeared at Layer 2. As his body had almost reached the peak of Tier 5, the miasma damaged him less. Nevertheless, he wouldn't be able to remain within it for more than a day.

At that point, his internal organs would begin to melt. But, the reason he appeared in the miasma was to help in his Monster Gecko armor's recovery. As he infused the development effect into it, it began to grow.

And while doing so, it also absorbed some of the miasma, slightly changing in color as a result. As he was fully regenerating the Monster Gecko armor, and since it had already evolved numerous times while it was with him, adding onto the development effect on it, this was possible.

Krune could feel its weight slowly increase, smiling as a result. 'This is indeed special.'

As he continued to regenerate the armor, Hazak continued to generate more and more miasma. Once the miasma reached a certain concentration, it sucked in everything into its mouth, compressing it into a tiny sphere.

Krune then condensed a tiny ice sphere, watching Hazak blow in all the concentrated miasma into it. The miasma had been compressed to the extent it had turned into liquid. And once it was filled up, Krune closed the gap, looking at the thumb-sized sphere in his hand, telling Hazak, ”We'll begin our experiment once you have condensed over 300 of such spheres.”
