Krune’s Tension

While the Cloud Whale rushed out of the city, Krune thought of something, calculating the number of days he had stayed, cursing himself, "Today is the day that exactly marks a decade since I had arrived at Layer 2. So, it should be the day the Checkpoint Turtles would arrive as well. Damn it. I should have realized it sooner."

"Why didn't you select being a hero? It would be impossible to survive once you're dropped in the middle of nowhere in the miasma region." Krune felt jittery, filled to the brim with anxiety as the Cloud Whale appeared on the battlefield. 

Seeing the way it moved on the bridge, the humans parted way. As for the demons that tried to sneak in through the way, the Cloud Whale shredded all of them using its air needle, creating a clean path to skid forth.
