Chapter 1022: Tier 5 Essence

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.

Krune wasn't worried about anyone seeing his healing figure. After all, he could simply say that he had consumed a bunch of Water Essence. If someone still dared to say anything otherwise, he could simply deal with them.

After all, he knew about a certain flaw in his plans, the reason he had planned to team up with Wrister and Flita. After all, when he killed a Red Demon, he would receive 10 Godly Points. And that meant it would be registered on his tablet.

He wasn't sure who held his tablet right now, or if anyone even looked at it after so long had passed. But if they did, they would notice a new line had emerged, one that would say as follows.

[Killed a Supreme Demon: 10 Godly Points obtained]

That one statement would prove that Krune was still alive. That was why he had hoped for either Wrister or Flita to deal the final blow. But in the end, he had killed the Red Demon himself.

"Well, I'll just deal with it, I guess. I have enough contingency measures prepared for that," Krune muttered, having planned accordingly. The base with the bone trees and the fishes was located in a different location, filed under an alias unrelated to the Ralk Family.

Moreover, enough preparations had been done to ensure that, if necessary, the Ralk family members could live in hiding until they reached the peak of Tier 5. There were just two members, after all.

Before they set off for this hunt, they had completed all the necessary preparations. Finished with the hunt, Krune and Flita hurriedly returned while Wrister stayed behind to finish all the formalities.

Upon returning to their mansion, both had excited expressions. After all, they would reach Tier 5 now. Using the Essence Generator, Krune converted the Tier 5 Demon Core into a Tier 5 Essence, feeling the intense thumping of his heart as he swallowed it.

The development effect coursed through his body as Krune closed his eyes, sensing a change in his Ocean Heart once again. Its development effect was getting upgraded once again. And, having been upgraded four times already, it was even faster this time, concluding within a couple of hours.

Later the next morning, Wrister arrived, slightly tired but brimming with excitement. Once they all had their meals, Krune recovered his expended energy completely, activating the development effect as he induced them into the two, also circulating the same in his body by fusing it into his Frozen Blood.

Now, until they reached the peak of Tier 5, they wouldn't face any limitations. And Tier 5 was the peak reached by humanity, a weight of 2000 kilograms. Once he reached this point, Krune planned to reclaim his Monster Gecko armor and tablet. 'It's been a long time since Raka took them from me.'

Hazak soon exited its room, sensing the change in Krune as it kneeled on the floor, proclaiming, "My Lord, you are unstoppable."
