Laying atop a sand dune, exhibiting the pinnacle of laziness, was a Black Demon. It had been sleeping for months at a time. Suddenly, intense gales were riled up, causing a lot of the sand to fall atop it.
Some of it even fell into its nose, causing it to get up due to the discomfort. Watching the sand billowing about, the Black Demon snorted, gazing up to see the Cloud Whale flashing past. The intense shockwaves produced as a result of its motion were what caused the sand to be buried atop it.
"Just because he killed one of us, he's acting like he's the ruler of this world. For the past two years, I've been patient, but he's ruining my sleep constantly. It had taken me a decade to find this perfect spot to sleep. And now, it's ruined." The Black Demon snorted, glaring at the Cloud Whale as it muttered, "You here, yet?"
"I just arrived, Grotak." Another Black Demon, one sporting three horns, arrived. It stood beside the dune, saying with a tone of mockery, "It took you a decade to find this dune? Were you trying to find it in your sleep?"
"Shut up, Doit." Grotak, the Black Demon that always slept, chided back. "Only a connoisseur of sleep can understand the worth of this sand dune."
It then grunted, asking, "Where's Leat?"
"It wishes to make a flashy entrance. So, it will join mid-battle," Doit replied. "But, what are you planning to do with that other demon? I believe its name is Hazak."
"I never knew we would have a traitor among us." Grotak groaned, "But, I fear it has something to do with that creature it follows around."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore. We'll kill both Hazak and that annoying thing it follows around," Grotak said, unfurling its wings, gazing at Doit. "Anyway, carry me. You're the fastest existence among all of us."
"Retract your wings," Doit said, grabbing hold of Grotak's hand. "They'll just hinder us."
The moment it said its piece, the air surrounding it swirled around, building up momentum in their bodies while causing everything in the place to be swept up by wind.
"My precious sleeping spot!" Grotak shouted in regret as the wind destroyed the sand dune. In the next moment, their figures vanished from the spot, speeding straight towards the Cloud Whale.
"He's here!" Feifei beamed with a smile upon spotting the Cloud Whale farther in the sky. There were still tens of kilometers to travel before it would reach the designated spot.
Feifei was already at the appointed place, obscured by her passive ability. She was planning to deactivate it once Krune arrived at the destination and landed on the ground.
As the Cloud Whale continued to fly closer and closer, Feifei's heart thumped, her face flushed red as she was finally about to reunite with Krune. "After so long!"
However, her thoughts froze up as when the Cloud Whale was 10 kilometers away from her, a bolt of lightning slammed into it, causing it to shriek while a large part of its body had caved in, melted from the intense temperatures.
Its body had turned numb, unable to move as it began to fall towards the ground. Seated within it, Krune and Hazak were alarmed, intending to make a move when a gust of wind flashed past, followed by two figures that slammed right into the Cloud Whale, tearing through it before landing hits on Krune.
"No! Noo! Nooo!" Feifei was shocked before screaming in despair, watching Krune be attacked by three Black Demons. Having been on Layer 2 for two years, she was well aware of the strength of every demon now.
And among them, the Black Demons were strong, tremendously so. It was especially true for the Black Demon that was sleeping quite close to the cave Feifei had been training at. It was wiser to have relocated to somewhere else. Sadly, Feifei didn't have a choice.
After all, 1000 kilometers from the Abyssal Trench, the demons were littered everywhere. So, even if she were to remain in hiding while relying on Wind Zone, demons would stumble into her constantly, able to notice her presence upon touching her.
With that, it was too risky. However, it was even riskier when she approached closer to the Abyssal Trench. After all, Feifei had noticed quite the number of Red and Black Demons lingering around there. Moreover, they were constantly on the move.
It was teeming with danger. She had assumed that Black Demons were lower in number at the start. But only now did she realize that they had staggering numbers. Every region she had scouted, there was a Black Demon calmly sitting there, meditating.
Left with no other choice, she remained in her original location since it was more beneficial for her to train. Since a Black Demon was nearby, she didn't have to worry about any other demon stumbling into her cave.
Right now, though, that plan backfired. It seemed that the Black Demons had been offended by Krune flying over them constantly for the past two years.
"W-What do I do? I'll only hinder him if I try to help him." Feifei stammered when she calmed herself, gazing at her stomach as she thought of something. "Right, I can still heal him when necessary. Yes, a Water Essence!"
The moment she reached this line of thought, Feifei began to run towards the battlefield.
"Damn it! What now?" Krune was alarmed when his Cloud Whale was torn into shreds when two demons attacked him, sending him flying towards the ground, causing a crater when he collided into it.
"My Lord!" Hazak shouted in alarm when a bolt of lightning landed on it, numbing it a little. Hazak enveloped its body with gales, flying around as it headed towards the ground, intending to help Krune when multiple bolts of lightning landed on it, singeing its body.
"Hahaha!" Doit flashed above it, condensing a whirl of wind around its fist before it smacked Hazak in the face, sending it reeling towards the ground.. No sooner had Hazak collided into the fist when Doit slammed right into its stomach, breaking its bone, causing a multitude of shockwaves to course through the ground.
