Bab 1039: Imposing Presence

In response, Hazak happily devoured the Black Demon's corpse after being helped by Krune. Eventually, it gulped in hesitance, swallowing the Black Demon's core that was different than the previous Black Demon core it had swallowed. 

After all, this Demon Core also contained Spiritual Energy, so it was naturally different. However, the moment Hazak swallowed the Black Demon Core, a change erupted within its body, causing the miasma to slam into the Cloud Whale like a tsunami, shocking Krune for a moment. 

However, upon being notified by Hazak, he allowed the miasma to enter from the top of the Could Whale from where it usually sucked in air. Krune created a layer of ice around it while letting Hazak sit below the blowhole. 

This way, he blocked the miasma from going beyond the layer of ice, ensuring it didn't damage the items he had brought forth. The Cloud Whale proceeded towards the next city by traveling alongside the Abyssal Trench.
