Is that a Wisp?

As Hazak planned to heal itself, it realized to its alarm that there wasn't any miasma for it to use. When the three Black Demons had attacked, they pushed all the miasma out, keeping it only for their use, preventing Hazak from using any.

This way, they prevented Hazak from recovering the injuries it sustained.

After collapsing deep into the ground, Krune's heart thumped rigorously as the sounds of sea waves resounded throughout the place. Instantly, a layer of ice formed on the ground, also creating another dome atop it.

Krune sighed in relief for a moment, realizing that the container with the Healing Extract was safe, but the same couldn't be said for the other items he had brought with him. When the lightning bolt landed on the Cloud Whale, he was only able to keep the container with the Healing Extract safe. As for the rest, they were destroyed, including the bone tree spheres, the Rope Bush seeds, and other items that he carried with him.

And now, to prevent anything from happening to the Healing Extract, he quickly covered it with a layer of ice, preventing any Black Demons from aiming at it. He also created a dome of ice to get a breather as he shouted at Hazak, "The enemy is faster than us. Try to stay as close to me as possible so that we aren't cornered!"

"Yes!" Hazak nodded, opening its palm to reveal dense miasma that it inhaled, swiftly healing its injuries. It made it seem like it had pulled and condensed that miasma while it was sent flying through the air.

But in actuality, it was putting on an act. The miasma was something it had pulled out from the amount it stored in its stomach. Just in case something like this might happen, it had filled its stomach with liquid miasma. There were even tiny crystals made from solidifying the miasma.

So, it had enough energy to last a long time.

Krune was the same, having filled his stomach with the Blood Essence Crystals. As they were created using the black fishes, they contained a tremendous sum of energy. From his previous battle, he had realized that he was close to defeat while facing a Black Demon in a field of miasma.

So, he had filled his stomach with Blood Essence Crystals, covering them with a layer of ice to prevent his body from digesting them and exploding due to a surplus of energy. And when he needed it, he would remove the ice on a Blood Essence Crystal and replenish his energy reserves.

Right as he got up, the dome of ice shattered as two demons broke into, focusing on both of them. Grotak focused on Krune, landing a punch on the latter's chest. Krune defended against the attack, shouting as he kicked Grotak's face.

He was angry and worried, having recognized Grotak as the Black Demon that slept near the region Feifei was active at. Now, he was worried if it had done something to her.

'Only by killing it will I be able to search for Feifei.' Krune condensed a sword of ice and slashed at Grotak, freezing the gash he inflicted, causing the other party to flinch at the force behind the attack.

"As I expected, you are strong. No wonder you were able to kill one of us," Grotak muttered as it dusted itself once, causing Krune to become shocked when the injury he had inflicted on it simply vanished.

"My regeneration speed is the fastest among all the Black Demons," Grotak said, flashing before Krune as it punched out. Suddenly, its fists roared with tremendous heat before lava gushed out, causing Krune to defend in alarm.

The ice shield he condensed rapidly melted as the lava landed on his Monster Gecko armor, beginning to burn through it. The armor did its best to defend against the power behind the attack but was readily losing ground.

In a battle of such scale, it was unable to keep up. Nevertheless, it gave Krune enough time to condense another ice shield and push off the lava.

However, Grotak swerved towards his back, opening its palms like a flower before unleashing a torrent of lava. "And, just so you know, I also possess the greatest amount of Spiritual Energy among everyone."

Krune hurriedly closed his eyes, relying on the Sonic Radar alone to sense his surroundings, now able to be alert in every direction. He then emitted a blinding Neon Radiance, causing Grotak to close its eyes, flinching in pain before it could feel the light turning white, now also suffused with intense cold.

The area rapidly turned cold as Krune's body was wrapped by wind currents, raising his speed as he jumped around, unleashing cold mist into the air. This way, he was also able to use Moving Ripple to accelerate further, swerving around the lava as he kicked Grotak's knee.

Then, just as he condensed a palm-sized Cloud Whale, intending to plunge it into Grotak's neck when a bolt of lightning landed on his hand, causing him to scream as his body was numb for a moment.

Grotak smirked as he changed the direction of his lava emission, showering Krune with it.

In the meantime, Doit attacked Hazak nonstop, landing numerous hits one after another, not even suffering a single hit in response. "Too bad! Even though you're tremendously powerful, you haven't reached the peak as a Black Demon. In any case, you cannot match my speed."

Hazak grunted as he suffered one hit after another. The opponent was tremendously powerful, but Hazak wasn't taking as much damage as his opponent had signified. After all, he had tremendously powerful defense due to the layer of scales on his skin. His physique was also different from a demon's.

After all, he had absorbed 70 passive abilities. He was a different individual entirely. Hazak focused while taking the attacks, calmly relying on its senses as an eye opened on its back. Soon, tens of eyes opened all over its body, the irises focusing on the opponent's movements, trailing behind it as it moved.

Suddenly, a mouth opened on the back of its thigh as a tongue shot out, piercing the opponent's hip, causing it to scream in surprise when the stung area felt numb. Moreover, the attack was tremendously fast, fast to the extent it could barely react and swerve its body, preventing it from landing on a vital area.

However, no sooner had it done so did a lightning bolt land on the extended tongue, singeing it, turning it into dust.
