Krune handed over a box of ice to Wristler, saying, "There are three Development Spheres inside this box. After consuming one Development Sphere, anyone at Tier 5 would eventually reach the peak of Tier 6. In the future, if the need arises, give it one to someone worthy. Otherwise, just save it for your successors."
"It is our blessing to receive your grace," Wristler and Flita bowed immediately, holding the icebox like their life depended on it. It was odd, considering the two of them were already at the peak of Tier 6, the strongest in Layer 2. Of course, they knew that their current power was only thanks to Krune. So, they wholeheartedly devoted themselves to him.
The fact that they had created a statue for Krune and prayed to it at least three times per day further attributed to their devotion. Even though Krune had already discovered it through his Sonic Radar, he didn't interfere, leaving them to their devices.
For some reason, he wasn't averse to the notion of people praying to him. Krune then looked at Flita and told her, "There are some fishes remaining of all colors, from white to black. As to how you're able to grow them in the future, I'll allow you to figure it out. My method is too risky, so I'm taking it with me."
Flita nodded, telling Krune in response, "I have a couple of ideas. Even though it might be difficult to grow the higher-level fishes, I should still be able to mass-produce the violet and blue fishes to a certain extent."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Then, that should be good enough." Krune nodded, saying, "Keep an eye out for Feifei."
"We've already sent posters of her appearance through every medium. At this point, the entire city knows about her. If she were to appear here, we'd protect her with all our strength." Wristler patted his chest as a sign that he was willing to guarantee it with his life.
Krune then slumped a bag containing all the items he had packed for the occasion. He was just about to leave when the City Lord and the old lady arrived, formally bowing towards them.
Gazing at them, Krune said after a moment, "I'll return once my journey is completed."
Without waiting for any other nonsense to transpire, Krune nodded at Hazak, causing it to lift a large tank containing the 1000 liters of Healing Extract. He then stood beside Krune, gazing at the humans that had congregated around them in silence.
As he wore his Monster Gecko armor right now, he looked like a monster himself, causing people to flinch at the sheer presence he induced. Krune and Hazak then exited the building, arriving at the road as he motioned for everyone to back away, summoning his Cloud Whale.
The Cloud Whale appeared around them as they were seated in its belly. At present, Krune just maintained it in a state of energy and not in a physical form. It was more useful for him as its body was transparent now and allowed him to see everything.
Comfortably seated inside, Krune grabbed a snack and began to munch of it, watching the crowd of people that followed him as the Cloud Whale took off to the air. It first started slow, accelerating slowly before attaining its top speed, flashing through the air in its gigantic figure that spanned a length of 25 meters.
Knowing very well of his destination, most of the people following him headed into the underground tunnels to catch up to him using their transports. As for those at Tier 5, they simply ran through the streets since they were many times faster than any transport.
They kept pace with the Cloud Whale, feeling flustered as they were doing everything they could to keep up with the pace. In the meantime, Krune sat comfortably within the Cloud Whale, eating some of the food he had packed up with him, waving his hands at them from time to time as a show of support.
Honestly, to him, it was a vexing feeling.
An hour later, the Cloud Whale slowed down to a halt, arriving at the crescent moon-shaped building. Beyond it was the exit to the city. Knowing very well that he was leaving, no one was using the bridge beyond, giving him passage first as a sign of respect.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Cloud Whale arrived above the bridge as Krune felt a mysterious force pulling it towards the ground. He lowered the Cloud Whale, causing it to slide on the ground, traveling as if it were a skate.
Followed by the bridge, the Cloud Whale arrived at the battlefield. For a moment, most of the humans parted to the side, causing the demons to laugh as they rushed through the gap.
"That's quite the welcome party." Krune smiled, commanding the Cloud Whale to attack the rushing demons to create a path. The Cloud Whale was still serene, like an embodiment of peace.
But suddenly, it began to suck in the air, causing a tornado to form atop the battlefield instantly. Intense gales were riled up as an insane amount of air was sucked into the Cloud Whale. Within its body, the air was compressed to the extent it resembled a liquid. If not for the intense temperatures inside, it would have turned into a liquid immediately.
The Cloud Whale then moved forward as Krune saw the demons approaching. As he grinned, the Cloud Whale unleashed the air needle, causing the air to form a pillar of spiraling air that traveled like a needle, piercing through all the approaching demons.
As the needle continued to travel, its diameter continued to increase, causing it to vary from piercing through the bodies of the demons to shredding them apart. Soon, it had expanded in size akin to a dragon, mowing through the battlefield until it reached the end and proceeded beyond for a whole minute, causing the battlefield to turn silent.
Even the demons had forgotten their purpose, simply gazing at the aftermath with a blank stare. This was the first time they had witnessed such an unbridled display of power, one that was unscalable.
His body alone had already reached the peak of Layer 2. Adding his abilities on top of that, his combat power had long surpassed the standards of the mortal world.
