Chapter 1981. Fusing with the Runestone of the Devil King

Everyone dispersed to do their own things. Some took John's advice and headed straight to the training cave. Some preferred to cool their nerves by relaxing around the lake. Nobody blamed them. They had just fought a fierce battle against the devils, after all.

John stayed inside the lakeside pavilion. He was using the spying platform to monitor the situation. Chris operated the platform for him since only he could access it. Wilted stayed by their sides to make sure Chris followed John's instructions.

As for Jack, he went away to check on the Runestone of the Devil King.

"Anything I need to know before I fuse with this runestone?" Jack asked. "Don't make me waste time if you can give me clues."

"All right. I'll try to explain," Peniel said. "This runestone is special. Unlike normal runestones, you can't rely only on your willpower to endure tribulations. You need several factors to increase your chance of fusing with this runestone."
