Kranos was speechless for a moment. He had no words to retort, as that was essentially true. He'd heard how, ten years ago, the creature was barely in the Golden Core realm. Sure, he would increase in strength in a short span of ten years, but wouldn't it be the same for the creature?
He immediately changed the topic. "Do you know the whereabouts of the demon?"
Amira shook her head. "I have only been here for about six months. I had to do many preparations before coming, so I am not privy to much information."
"In that case, you should head back. I will continue the impersonation for you," Kranos said with a smile.
"That won't be possible," Amira immediately disagreed. Seeing Kranos frowning, she explained, "Every week, Ko usually checks if this Gu worm is still present within our body. If it isn't, the person is immediately killed." As she spoke, she took off her mask, revealing a Gu worm trapped at the mouthpiece.
