Intense sounds of punches resounded as Krune and the Red Demon exchanged attacks one after another, healing their damage. Externally, it seemed like they were exchanging attacks barbarically, but in actuality, the Red Demon's punches lacked their usual power.
After all, when it stepped foot on the ground, craning strength in its legs, the blood rippled, turning into a cushion that absorbed the force from its stomps, this way diverting less energy to its hips for its punches to harness.
As for Krune, his attacks were amplified in speed by his two abilities working in conjunction, generating enough currents to accelerate his attacks to maximum speed. This way, he was able to keep up with the Red Demon that possessed a superior physique.
Having faced Hazak, a Red Demon that he had personally trained in the air of fighting, Krune had tremendous experience in fighting against Red Demons. So, he knew exactly what he was doing.
Normally, the plan had been to gang up on a Red Demon as a team of three and defeat it. However, upon seeing the detestable Red Demon that was the target of his revenge, Krune changed his plans, intending to solo it.

He relied on his healing energy to heal swiftly while the Red Demon relied on the miasma it produced from devouring the arms of numerous Tier 4 humans it had slaughtered along its way.
The attacks of the Red Demon were simple and powerful, pummelling his body with its devastating power. In response, it seemed Krune's attacks lacked power, only withstanding due to his powerful healing ability.
But in actuality, his threatening attacks were subtle. Every time his fist came into contact with the Red Demon's body, he emitted a beam of Neon Radiance into its body, one fused with his Frozen Blood.
Having known the anatomy of a Red Demon clearly thanks to Hazak, he targeted the stomach where it would be able to know clearly. After all, he seeped the freezing effect into the human flesh in its stomach.
Krune's attacks numbed the Red Demon due to the freezing effect. But surprisingly, it thought the effect was just due to his punches. After all, Krune's punches also packed a lot of power, having been amplified by the two currents.
At the start, Krune was relying on the blood to create vapor to generate both water and air currents using it. But upon realizing that it would be too obvious, he seeped some freezing effect through his legs, forming a layer of ice on the blood.
And, the air currents he created ground the ice, creating a transparent mist. Even though the preparation took time, Krune was able to stall the Red Demon with a flurry of mockery he unleashed, "Are your horns just for decoration? That's going to be my back scratcher from today onwards."
"Fuck you! I'll use your skull as my piss collector!" the Red Demon scowled before punching Krune's stomach, causing him to spit out blood in response. Quickly, while it was mocking him, Krune spitted all the ejected blood into the Red Demon's mouth, having accelerated it using his two currents.
Moreover, he directly sent them through the Red Demon's food pipe, causing his blood to arrive at its stomach. And immediately, the insides of its stomach began to freeze up due to the frozen blood. Then again, the interiors were already cold enough due to his prior attacks, giving the Frozen Blood even lower resistance, freezing up the insides immediately.
But right at this moment, Krune bellowed, slamming punches into the Red Demon's chest one after another. But this time, he used a self-destructive approach, using Moving Ripple internally as he fused it on his Frozen Blood, causing his blood to eject out of his fists like needles and pierce the Red Demon's skin.
At the moment it pierced through, the Frozen Blood spilled into it in excess, using the fraction of a second to do so. Even though the quantity was less, Krune attacked nonstop, taking the Red Demon's attacks while doing so.
He had received enough attacks to his head that his jaws were crushed, his eyeballs shattered, and his nose pummelled deep into his face. There were also numerous broken ribs poking into his lungs, preventing him from breathing properly.

The Red Demon was only able to use the miasma to heal the injury. As for the frozen effect, it was unable to destroy it as fast enough as Krune injected it within.
"Scared now, fucker? You shouldn't have sat on me four years ago," Krune grunted as he spat out blood.
"What…that rainbow dumbass was you…?" The Red Demon was surprised when something flew into its mouth when it opened to curse Krune. From the start, Krune had been cursing it every time he landed a hit. Unwilling to lose on any front, it cursed him in return, forming a habit as the two cursed themselves while fighting.
Moreover, no matter its injuries, it wouldn't die. After all, it had enough food in its belly to heal itself back to full health even from a mortal injury. So, it was just having fun hunting a rather tricky prey. As for the healing effect, it wasn't too surprised. After all, it already knew about the existence of Water Essence from torturing some humans during its past.
So, it assumed Krune overdosed himself with Water Essence to exhibit such regenerating speed. It was simply waiting for the healing effect to vanish so that it could feat upon such a delicious prey.
And as a result, when Krune attacked it and cursed while talking of something, it immediately recalled the time when it saw a strange creature swimming through the battlefield, opening its mouth to curse in return when the Cloud Whale swam into its mouth, immediately exploding to spill out all the Frozen Blood it had sucked out from Krune's body.
This was the reason he manipulated the Red Demon into a cursing session. And immediately as the Red Demon's mouth began to freeze up, he plunged his left hand into it, punching forth using his right hand with all his might, aiming at the underside of its jaw, causing it to shut up, severing his left hand in response.
Now that his left hand was within its mouth, all the Frozen Blood he had forcefully stuffed into it using Moving Ripple spilled out, flowing into its body as its internals began to completely turn into ice.
