Is that a Wisp?

"Argh!" Krune's ice shield completely melted under the torrent of lava landing on him. It was melting through faster than he could create his ice. Left with no other option, Krune summoned his Cloud Whale at a relatively bigger scale, causing it to tank the lava.

In the meantime, he jumped back in its body, deactivating it the moment it left the range of the lava. However, right when he planned to retaliate, another lightning bolt landed on him, numbing him while burning him.

As the Neon Radiance resided in his skin, he simply fused the healing effect of his Ocean Heart into it, emitting healing light that swiftly healed him, making him recover from the shock of the lightning.

Krune sensed using his Sonic Radar, noticing the Black Demon flying a couple hundred meters away in the air, calmly watching the battle unfold below, coolly absorbing the miasma into its body as it attacked with lightning bolts one after another, targeting Krune and Hazak right when they gained an advantage.

'It's the main reason we're being held back to such an extent.' Krune frowned but was unable to do anything much. Even though the Black Demons didn't have much experience in fighting since they had lived uncontested in Layer 2, that didn't mean they were careless.

Previously, when he fought the Black Demon, Hazak helped him, keeping most of the miasma at bay. The only amount of miasma the Black Demon could absorb was the amount it wrestled free from Hazak's control.

So, it didn't have the initiative. Even then, it was a close match between it and Krune. After all, just based on the amount of time they had lived, every Black Demon was around eight times older than Krune.

So, they had a considerable amount of time to grow their skills. And since they had been absorbing Spiritual Energy all this time, they had trained themselves considerably, even though it seemed they had only one Spirit Ability.

Then again, it was exactly because they had one Spirit Ability that they had focused on mastering it. So, fighting against them proved difficult. After all, Krune didn't have Spiritual Energy to rely upon in the fight.

So, he was slightly disadvantaged in that regard.

And now, his enemies held the initiative, also able to absorb as much miasma as they wished. So, they were able to spam powerful Spirit Abilities like they meant nothing. As for Krune, he took damage from even the miasma.

It was only thanks to the Monster Gecko Armour was he able to shield himself from the miasma. As it was getting damaged by the lava attacks, the miasma swerved through the gaps, beginning to cause damage to him.

Krune was greatly disadvantaged. He was facing old monsters that had been training nonstop for more than 2000 years. They were tremendously used to relying upon the miasma to the greatest benefit.

"Cough!" Krune slid on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, screaming in pain when two lightning bolts accurately landed on his back. His eyes almost turned vacant as he was tired, unable to attack his foes.

No matter what he did, they continued to regenerate. Moreover, there were three of them, so he was on the receiving end. Even if he gravely injured one of them, they retreated to heal while another Black Demon joined in the battle to hold him back.

Plus, it wasn't possible to kill a Black Demon with a single attack. Considering the density of their bodies, they wouldn't die from a hit. Even if they didn't defend themselves and just stood at a place, Krune would still need four good hits from his strongest attack to kill them.

Considering the pace of the battle, he wasn't able to do that. Krune's focus returned as he healed himself, intending to make a move when a gentle hand peaked out of the ground, touching him when he was able to sense the entity now.

It was Feifei. She had taken the risk to dig through the ground and help him. Surprisingly, she had planned her actions, intending to intervene only to give Krune a condensed Water Essence that she had created by using most of the energy stored in her Energy Sink.

It was a tiny sphere only a centimeter in radius. However, it contained a tremendous amount of energy. For a moment, it seemed like time had trickled down to a stop as Krune watched Feifei peek out of the ground, smiling as she placed the condensed Water Essence in his mouth.

In response, Krune could only smile wryly, unable to think of a way to escape. Just based on her actions, and the information he obtained over the course of two years, and the fact that he only sensed her existence when she touched him, Krune realized that only he was able to see Feifei now.

Plus, he also noticed that the demons were still able to sense his presence, even though Feifei had extended her Wind Zone to him as well. It was because they had been intently focusing on Krune, so they didn't glance over him.

Had Feifei done it when they weren't looking at Krune, she would have succeeded. But in the high-pitched battle, their focuses prevented her passive ability from taking effect.

Krune suddenly emitted multiple ice spikes in all directions, taking the chance to mutter to Feifei, "I'll be waiting for you."

Feifei's eyes widened in shock as she understood the implication behind his words, tearing up when Krune punched her, sending her reeling deep into the hole she had dug out from, immediately sealing the entrance as he extended the layer of ice, creating a massive foundation atop which he could battle.

"Come get me! Fuckers!" Krune bellowed, blasting ice spikes in every direction, also focusing cold beams on all the three Black Demons, slowly beginning to cool their body temperatures. No matter how they evaded, the cold beam of light was always incident on their bodies.

"Hazak!" Krune shouted, making eye contact with Hazak, causing the other party to immediately tear up in despair as he motioned with his mouth, "Find Feifei!"

Immediately, Krune unleashed a massive blast of ice, enveloping the three Black Demons in the range of his attack, for a second placing them in a passive state, only able to defend themselves. After all, he was expending five crimson rings worth of energy with every blast. The strain caused him to age when Krune punched the ground, pulling out the container with the Healing Extract.

He pulled out all the Healing Extract, manipulating it with Moving Ripple as he condensed it as ice around his body. Immediately, he unleashed the densest ice he had ever created, wrapping it around his body, expanding to a radius of ten meters instantly before he compressed it to the extent it was only a centimeter now.

Within a second, Krune repeated the action more than two hundred times, creating a cocoon of ice around him that was a couple of meters thick. And inside it was Krune, falling into slumber.

As for Hazak, it had used the second Krune had bought through his strongest attack, hurrying off at its maximum speed while relying on its air currents, escaping from the place while bawling madly, "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
