Is that a Wisp? Chapter 1051 – Feifei’s Elaborate Scheme

“Hah!” Leat shouted as it unleashed tens of lightning bolts onto the cocoon of ice, barely singeing a bit of the outer edge. After unleashing a torrent of lightning nonstop for a minute, Leat stopped, groaning as it cursed, “Just what is this ice made out of? I hardly managed to scratch it.”

“No, you’ve definitely damaged it plenty enough,” Grotak pointed at the damaged parts on the ice cocoon. “However, it’s recovering at a tremendous speed that your attacks seem useless. Had his ice been as powerful as you had thought them to be, we wouldn’t have been able to trap him this easily.”

“No matter what, this guy was too strong. I wonder what his secret is.” Doit frowned, touching the ice cocoon as it felt the chill emanating from it. “If we manage to decipher it, we’ll be able to grow even stronger and even get a chance to leave this world.”

“Hazak has similar powers to Krune,” Grotak said in response. “That’s the answer we are looking for.”

Pausing for a moment, Grotak told the others, “Contact the other Black Demons. It’s time to discuss this incident.”

“Are you sure?” Leat asked. “We’ll lose our advantage if that’s the case.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Grotak replied, gazing at the other two Black Demons. “We’re the strongest Black Demon group in this world. So, no matter what, since everyone would benefit equally from this exchange, we’ll end up being the winners.”

“That’s true.” Doit shrugged his shoulders, condensing gales around its body before saying, “I’ll summon everyone now, then.”

Saying its piece, Doit flashed into the sky, forming a beam as it flew at tremendous speeds, vanishing in the blink of an eye. 

Grotak then gazed at Krune’s figure, focusing on his face that was covered by the Monster Gecko armor, muttering, “Just what are you? A human cannot grow this strong.”

A couple of days later, Doit returned, sighing before it plopped to the ground. “I traveled a lot. Now, I just wish to rest.”

“Good work out there.” Grotak nodded in praise. “I guess we’ll be seeing everyone within 10 days.”

…

“Ordinary, Mutant, King, Emperor, Supreme. There are five stages in total for the Monster Gecko. I can consider the Supreme Stage to have strength on par with mine. Every stage below is a reduction in tier based on this world’s standards,” Feifei muttered. 

As she continued to grow stronger, all her abilities had undergone the same. Right now, the regular Monster Gecko she created was many times stronger than the regular Monster Gecko that she created upon arriving at Layer 2. 

Feifei made a mental count, “There around 73 Mutants, 19 Kings, and 5 Emperors.”

She then gazed at the bone tree growing at the end of the cavern, smiling once she looked at its ridiculous size. The miasma in the place had almost solidified, now resembling a viscous gel. The fruit hanging from the bone tree was humongous, displaying the sheer size the Supreme Monster Gecko would be upon birth. 

‘This Supreme Monster Gecko would unfortunately only have Tier 3 strength. I can’t believe I planted this tree while possessing such low strength,’ Feifei thought, feeling it was a bit of a waste. 

Had it been created while she was at Tier 6, it would have turned into a powerhouse. Then again, it was still alright as she could put every Monster Gecko to use, no matter how weak they were at the start. 

Placed before her was a large slab created from the bone tree. Innumerous intricate patterns were constructed on it, detailing an elaborate labyrinth. In order to save Krune, Feifei was going all out, creating a massive labyrinth to enact her plan. 

To achieve that, she needed a lot of manpower. Thankfully, due to the miasma, she never had to worry about lacking energy to do so, capable of pulling any form of energy expenditure. It seemed that the miasma was indeed infinite as no matter how much was consumed, its density never seemed to have decreased. 

As Feifei created the plan, the Monster Gecko Emperors relayed her plan in detail down the chain of command, causing the numerous Monster Geckos to move about, digging through the ground to begin the creation of a grand structure that was bound to affect the entirety of Layer 2. 

All Feifei did apart from training her abilities was plant more bone trees nonstop. Those strategically placed began to absorb more miasma, beginning to also grow in size before producing Mutant Monster Geckos. 

Monster Gecko Kings were rare, while the Emperors were even rarer. Eventually, after a couple more days had passed, the Supreme Monster Gecko had been born. Since the laws of Layer 2 were different from that of Layer 3, killing the Monster Geckos now didn’t result in any passive abilities. 

Of course, it was because the Monster Geckos were a product of her ability, so they weren’t considered as Monster Geckos from the wild. 

Once the Supreme Monster Gecko was produced, the workflow became even more streamlined as it took charge of directing everything as long as Feifei relayed the orders. With enough cunning and intelligence, it was more than capable of understanding just what had to be done. 

The Monster Geckos branched out in the underground, erecting numerous tunnels and channels, creating winding pathways that interconnected at times and meandered out at others. As for the depth, it continued to increase. 

Once an area was completed according to plan, Feifei layered it with the bone tree, ensuring that there was only a flat layer visible. She then began to set up some traps that she assumed would work on powerful opponents like the Black Demons. 

Meanwhile, the Black Demons had all converged into a group, numbering 108 in total. They were the total number of Black Demons in Layer 2, having all been invited by Grotak. 

“Everyone, thank you all for coming here. There’s something that I must bring to your notice,” Grotak told them, facing everyone as it pointed at the ice cocoon. “A new race has appeared in our world.. And they possess mysterious powers.”
