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.

Also, sensing the intense killing intent he emitted, the weaker humans and demons alike fainted, unable to bear it any longer. The Cloud Whale blasted through the battlefield, taking off to the skies once it left the range of the Abyssal Trench.

"Move!" Krune bellowed as the Cloud Whale unleashed another air needle, rupturing every single demon in the air that tried to attack the Cloud Whale. In his rage and sense of urgency, Krune attacked every demon that tried to hinder him.

Dreams of the HeartOcean Turbulence!

Krune fused all five crimson rings into his Sonic Radar, increasing its range widely, trying his best to scout for any sign of Feifei. He was almost mad, bellowing every time a demon tried to hinder him.

Suddenly, Hazak patted him on the shoulder, telling him, "Please allow me to handle all the demons. Focus on finding Lord Wife."

"Hah." Krune exhaled, nodding after a moment of thought. "Thanks, Hazak."

"It is my life's pleasure." Hazak bowed before exiting the Cloud Whale, sitting atop it as it faced its palm towards the nearest demon. Its palm split open, revealing a mouth from which a tongue shot forth, piercing the demon before pulling out its Demon Core.

The demon dropped to the ground like its strings were cut while its Demon Core headed into the mouth on its palm, followed by some crunching sound. Without any change in pace, Hazak pointed its palm at every demon that tried to close in on the Cloud Whale, ripping out their Demon Cores using its tongue.

Once it began to deal with all the demons, Krune focused completely on his Sonic Radar, expanding to a range beyond his usual. Everything within a radius of 100 kilometers was in his range. But at this point, the precision dropped grandly, preventing him from telling a demon from Feifei if she had been there.

So, he had to reduce the range to 40 kilometers where the precision was enough to tell them apart. With this, he began to scour through the miasma-covered world, killing demons occasionally to vent his anger.

He wished to find Feifei as soon as possible. For every second that passed by, he was feeling tense, wondering if Feifei was okay or if she had come under harm.

"Right, when I appeared, I was around 300 to 400 kilometers from the city. Maybe, Feifei arrived at a similar place. So, as long as I move around that point and make a circle around the Abyssal Trench, I should be able to spot Feifei."

The Cloud Whale soon arrived at the point he had calculated, beginning to circle around the Abyssal Trench from this point. The Abyssal Trench had an outer ring radius of 3600 kilometers. Adding onto the 400 kilometers to the point he observed, Krune had to make a circle with a radius of 4000 kilometers in his search of Feifei.

That meant he had to scour through a distance of 25,120 kilometers. And that was just one round. He could only scout 40 kilometers around himself while moving using his Sonic Radar.

Considering where Feifei would have appeared, it was impossible to guess when he would find her or if he would even find her at all. So no matter what, Krune had to be patient and persist in his efforts.

But would he be patient, though? When his wife's life was on the line, remaining calm and nonchalant was impossible for Krune.

He then thought of something, 'Right, what if she decided to tail after the marching line of demons and head towards the cities?'

Right as this thought entered his mind, Krune shouted, "Hazak, make a round around the cities. See if Feifei has reached there. Since your speed is high, you would reach it pretty quickly. Circle around the Abyssal Trench in the opposite direction to mine! Find Feifei and protect her no matter what!"

"Gladly!" Hazak said before jumping out, unfurling its wings before speeding away in the air. Moreover, air currents were generated around it, further accelerating it, making it seem like it would reach the Abyssal Trench within 10 minutes.

Seeing its speed, Krune was assured that Hazak would have enough time to scour at least a circle around the Abyssal Trench before Feifei managed to reach there. That would allow him to protect her.

Nevertheless, he was still worried, making the Cloud Whale proceed at tremendous speeds, breaking the sound barrier as it continued to accelerate even further, soon reaching top speed now that enough time had passed.

While he calculated the distance based on his speed, he grunted in anger, "Even at four times the speed of sound, I still need five hours to scour the entire distance. Dammit!"

He was feeling helpless, for no matter what he did, it was beyond his control. He was already proceeding at his top speeds. Even if he consumed a bunch of Blood Essence Crystal, they wouldn't amplify the speed any further.

Just the shockwaves resulting from the Cloud Whale's flight caused intense damage to the demons, causing them to shriek while covering their ears. However, Krune didn't consider how many demons died as a result, focusing only on finding Feifei.

Even when he arrived at Layer 3 and had regressed into a mortal, he hadn't felt this helpless. It made him recall the time when he was just a wisp and had to run to survive. And now, he had to run to make his wife survive.
