If there is one thing Klaus understood about battle, it is the importance of movement.
Movement is a key factor that, when executed correctly, can turn the tide of any battle, regardless of the odds.
He had lived for a very long time and had seen what needed to be seen. He fought many battles and witnessed how a slight change in a team’s coordination can significantly alter the oute of a battle.
So, for him to be hearing what Jane is now capable of, he couldn’t help but stare at her with a dumbfounded look.
Klaus’s mind flashed back to when he got the Star Map.
’If I remember correctly, the star map was traded to me by the drunken immortal in exchange for an immortal stone I found in the Song Emperor’s tomb.
Back then, after the exchange, I realized that despite being fascinated by the star map, I couldn’t use it aside from forming a contract with it.
Now, to think the same treasure has found the right person to bond with, and has finally started showing its power’
Jane could only smile as she watched Klaus move from one emotion to the next.
"Big brother should know that when it es to controlling the battlefield, I was born with it. Even before the star map, I was able to move my teammates as I pleased.
However, now that I have the star map, I can manipulate the enemy’s formation, change their coordination, and even ambush them, but surrounding them with odds far ahead of their own.
Of course, if they have someone like me on their side and they also have a star map like mine, then perhaps I wouldn’t be able to mess with them."
Klaus nodded and said, "You have bee very powerful, Jane."
"It is all thanks to big brother’s help." She smiled cheerfully, feeling happy hearing Klaus praise her.
"I suppose you will showcase your powers in the uping battle," Klaus said, and Jane nodded.
"I am going to be needed because the danger ing is huge." She waved her hand, and the space around them changed. They appeared atop the formation, which was slowly deteriorating.
"The formation will break exactly two days from now. I can even tell you the exact moment it will bee undone. However, that is not the reason why we are here." She waved her hand again, and this time, they appeared inside the formation.
Considering the plex nature of the formation, Klaus could only admire the expert who created it.
Jane pointed at one section of the formation that had a crack in it. "This formation has been tampered with many times already, and judging by the crack in it, I can say the beings from the other side have already entered this world.
However, judging by the energy they left behind, they didn’t e using their physical bodies."
Klaus focused his attention on the crack, and he managed to see the energy. "That is soul energy residue."
"Yes. This can only mean the beings that came through have awakened their soul bodies. Which means one thing: there are chaos stage beings among them."
Klaus nodded.
"That is the only logical explanation. But if they were able to risk a chaos stage warrior just to tamper with the formation, then who is to say they don’t have more and even stronger ones?"
Klaus thought of the same thing but could only sigh in his heart.
During his discussion with Queen Nayiri, he discovered that long ago, the Sea Race was a beautiful empire prising various kingdoms.
King Atlan was the Ocean Master and the one who led the race to claim the Trident of Poseidon, a weapon said to grant the ability to mand the sea.
With that weapon, the sea was peaceful and the lives of the people were good.
However, King Kordax, the brother of King Atlan, wanted the title of Ocean Master, so he rebelled. Thanks to the Trident of Darkness, whose origin nobody knew, his rebellion nearly succeeded.
There were some holes in the history Queen Nayiri told him, but the last part of the history saw the banishment of the Dark Sea Race to the Abyssal Trenches, where they were banned from ever returning.
Of course, Klaus knew there were discrepancies in the history he was told, but one key takeaway he took with him was the Trident of Darkness.
Apparently, that weapon has the power to mand death, and knowing it is in the hands of the Dark Sea Race made him a little tense.
But now, seeing the crack in the formation, he realized something.
"The Dark Race had long evaded this world or had tried and failed. Either way, I think I know they managed to make contact somehow, and I think they even tried killing me once."
Klaus smiled, recalling when he was attacked by the Dark Order and nearly died.
Now, he seemed to understand where the mysterious person behind the strange, unexplained events, such as the sudden leap in cultivation of the Legacy family and Great Clans, and even the sudden disappearance of Hunter Duncan and his panions, was.
"I suppose this is also a good thing, and with you on the team, things will be okay." Klaus and Jane smiled.
"I am ready to show my powers."
Klaus nodded, and then they returned to space, where this time, Jane pulled the other planets in the Earth’s solar system closer.
"Though there are no living beings on them, each of these planets has something to offer. The surface of each of these planets has some elemental mutation, one that, if you cultivate inside, will boost your elemental power."
"I see. Then I will go there when I am free. For now, the battle is of the essence, and while it is not a must, I want you to do your best to showcase your abilities to everyone before the main event."
Jane nodded.
"I will also give you a mind cultivation technique, where I am sure after cultivating it for a few weeks, you will be able to make progress when it es to your mental strength."
Jane was more than happy to hear that, for this was all she ever wanted. She wanted to be useful, and while the Savage zombies gave her the chance to prove her worth, she knew from the start it was only a matter of time before it all came crashing down.
Now, however, she wanted to prove to everyone and Klaus that she is capable and can help.
"Keep learning more about the pass. I am sure one of these days you will make a breakthrough, and that will be a good thing for you."
After a few moments of talking, the space changed again, and they were returned to the room that Klaus was supposed to appear in when he entered it a couple of minutes ago.
"I am going to Zanbathu to meet with the king and queen of the Bast race. Do you want to e?" Klaus asked, and Jane nodded, eager to spend some time with the one person her powers don’t work on, unless Klaus gives her his permission.
She had already concluded that she could move anyone around the battlefield, but the one person she couldn’t casually move was Klaus.
She was intrigued, and so she wanted to see if she could understand the reason behind that.
After spending more time in Vampire City, Klaus and Jane left, meeting up with Princess Eshira, who would be taking them to her people.
