Chapter 1036: Cultivating Black Demon (1/2)
The Cloud Whale continued to move through the battlefield when Krune thought of something, layering it with ice before turning it invisible. By the time it had crossed half the battlefield, the Cloud Whale had vanished from the eyes of everyone.
And right as it had done so, it accelerated, soon reaching the end of the battlefield before taking off to the skies, having crossed the range of the Abyssal Trench. Krune stared down, looking at the demons climbing up the flight of stairs towards the battlefield, focusing at the bottom of the stairs to see a Black Demon sitting there as usual.
Surprisingly, it was there as he had expected. The Black Demon was cultivating. Despite losing the horn in the treasury, it seemed to have created a current of Spiritual Energy towards itself, relying on the stream to siphon out more Spiritual Energy.
It was the reason why it had never moved from the place, despite Krune having blasted off a great segment of the demons on the battlefield. Once he had left, the human army charged through the path he had cleared up, harvesting the Demon Cores of every demon he had shredded into pieces.
It was more than enough to strengthen themselves even further. Soon after, most of the Tier 5 humans in the city had charged out, brimming with energy. A significant portion of them were the retired Warriors, those that had retired from losing a limb and feeling that it was too expensive to treat themselves.
Most of them were at Tier 4 and Tier 5. Now that they had all been treated by Krune, they were itching to battle once again and relive their past glory. With their influx, the human army began to grind through the demon army, killing them in droves.
As for Krune, he thought for a moment, considering the odds, 'Even if there are two Tier 6 humans in the city, they won't be able to kill this Black Demon once a fight erupts. This Black Demon has begun cultivating. With that, it should be capable of using at least one spell. That increases its threat level even further.'
”It seems that it's best to remove all threats,” Krune muttered, gazing at Hazak before telling him, ”We'll hunt that Black Demon. Its Demon Core should accelerate your evolution further.”
”Gladly.” Hazak bowed as the two of them jumped out of the Cloud Whale. The Cloud Whale was still invisible, hovering high up in the air. The two of them blazed through the air, dropping down straight towards the Black Demon.
Dreams of the Heart—Ocean Turbulence!
To give it a greeting, Krune condensed a massive boulder of ice, one that resembled a meteor. He then kicked it, causing it to slam faster towards the ground, alerting the Black Demon.
The Black Demon hesitated once, unwilling to leave its place since the stream of Spiritual Energy would be cut off. It didn't have a guarantee of siphoning out another stream later. However, upon sensing that the ice meteor was a threat, it had no other choice but to evade.
Right as its figure flashed away, the ice meteor crashed into the ground, rapidly bringing down the temperature in the area. And right after, Krune and Hazak landed on it, breaking it into tiny pieces, sending the pieces of ice flying everywhere as shrapnel, killing thousands of the demons in the area.
