Every elent has a law that governs how it can be harnessed.
Water, Light, Darkness, Fire, and Lightning... They all have their unique laws.
These laws, when mastered to a certain stage, can allow a warrior to harness their true power in any way they desire.
One can shape water into terrifying weapons. Air into hidden armant and even command darkness where there is light.
When it cos to elental law, its applications are endless.
Klaus had already harnessed the elental power of the Fla during the awakening, and it proved several tis deadlier than using re flas.
In the past, when he was just growing into a warrior, he loved blowing things up with his fla elent. However, that was when he fought alone.
During the awakening, despite his stellar control over the fla elent, he couldn't just blow anything up.
He had allies fighting beside him. One wrong explosion can cause his dearly. So he refrains from using it. There was ti for everything, after all.
However, watching the lightning form an impenetrable shell around Korvath, he realised he had neglected his nature as the elental overlord for too long.
He can command any elent in existence.
He had already reached the law stage for all elents. However, since he can't do everything himself, he only focused on Fire, Ice, and tal.
These three were the elents he had mastered the laws of to so extent. He can harness them easily and has used them countless tis.
Of course, he still has to master the laws to be able to use them against powerful foes.
However, even if he didn't want to, now that Pickle Berry is of age and, thanks to her, his mories of Kaden, the Elental Paragon, are returning to him.
He doesn't even have to learn the laws.
Just recalling his past life as the Elental Paragon will do the trick.
Kaden had already mastered them, and at the mont, his mastery of all elental laws is already high enough to fight Korvath.
"Korvath has activated the Thunder Shell!"
"He's about to go all out!"
The audience who knew Korvath too well beca excited when he activated his signature skill.
This move, he had used it to drain many warriors, since unless your law mastery of Lightning is at the [Perfect stage], then breaking through his 'thunder shell' is impossible.
RUMBLE
Lightning surged from the [thunder shell], shooting toward Klaus when his three spirit weapons struck it but failed to penetrate the tough shell...for the umpteenth ti.
Klaus dodged and retreated.
However, Korvath moved forward, and the shell released yet another beam of lightning.
'Hmm, he is taking advantage of the fact that I can't break his thunder shell to get cocky.'
Klaus evades yet another lightning beam. He wasn't too worried. After all, he knew the beam could not kill him.
However, it would drain him when struck by it.
In a battle to the death, getting injured would work against him. His next battle, if he wins this one, will be in less than an hour.
[The only advantage he has is the immortal energy. That is why he is still breathing. The master just needs to hold him back for a few minutes to let the poison adapt to the immortal energy.]
Klaus smiled and responded to what Icon said:
'I know, Icon. Killing him would have been much easier; however, we cannot reveal our trump cards just yet. For now, let them think I am a spirit master with poison affinity.'
Klaus let a pale smile appear on his face.
He controlled his sword to slice through a beam of lightning shooting at him. However, another one ca, forcing Klaus to summon a colossal shield.
Inside the do, Korvath's breathing grew heavier. The poison was spreading—slow, but inevitable.
The dizziness was getting more frantic, and he started to see double, as Klaus had predicted. So he was fighting much harder to end the battle and seek dical attention before things escalated.
However, the annoying mortal just wouldn't die. And the more he uses his immortal energy, the more the poison spreads.
But that wasn't all.
'It is like he can see my moves before I make them.' Korvath's anger was surging, and with every attack, the poison grew stronger.
Until finally, he started seeing butterflies.
The hallucinations started appearing.
This setback slowed his battle power. After all, seeing double and then seeing things that aren't there tends to ss with the mind.
In Korvath's case, he was seeing things that seed to hit close to ho.
The faces of innocent people he had killed. His brother, his lovers, and many others who didn't deserve to die, all started to appear on the battlefield.
On the outside, the beams weren't coming as they used to.
Eventually, they stopped coming.
"Get away from !" Korvath suddenly deactivated the shield and started swinging his fists, hitting only air. This sight stunned everyone.
"What in the hell is happening?"
"What is he punching at?"
"This is unbelievable. How can a re mortal put an immortal in an illusion?"
Everybody watching turned their focus to Klaus, who stood calmly in the air, a sword spinning over his head. Klaus was completely calm, his expression focused on Korvath.
However, as he continued to look at Korvath, a smile appeared on his face.
'Once I beco an immortal, not even True Immortals can escape my poison,' Klaus said inwardly, his smile widening.
Of course, he ant it to be a cute smile.
However, all those watching felt a chill run down their spine. Whatever was running through Klaus's mind, causing him to smile, they most certainly wouldn't want to know.
Klaus flicked his hand, and the sword started spinning in a circle.
'I hope in the next battle, I'll et a Real Immortal, so I can test my archery skills on him.' With that thought, he gestured forward, and the sword exploded with speed.
SLASH
Blood and a head flew into the air the next second, causing thousands to gasp.
This gasp, however, lasted for only a few seconds before cheers rang out. The scoreboard was updated, and Klaus was announced the match winner.
"Blood Sword!" "Blood Sword!" "Blood Sword!" "Blood Sword!"
Klaus's na was being chanted by thousands. Of course, thousands of others who lost a bet because Klaus won started eyeing him with killing intent.
Not that he cares.
Suddenly, a woman appeared in the arena, holding a mic. She approached Klaus with a cute smile. Klaus instantly recognised the lady who smiled at him.
However, to be polite, he also smiled back.
He saw her profile while exploring the [Dark Fantasies] uniweb page while researching the shadow butcher he killed in his first mission.
'The Needle Mistress, huh. The last ti she appeared in the news, she killed a transport ship and practiced her needlework on the dead. I have to take her out before leaving this planet,' Klaus said to himself, eyeing the lady.
"Wow, Mr Blood Sword. I feel like you want to eat up," she said with a flirtatious smile, placing her hand on Klaus's shoulder.
Klaus answered in a sowhat flirtatious tone too... "You have no idea."
She giggled, feeling happy.
Klaus may not be the most handso person in the universe, but on this Rogue Planet, he is eye candy. Many others had already started eyeing him. So being flirted with made her happy.
'How feeble, her mind is rather weak. Killing her will be very easy' Klaus laughed inwardly.
"So, Blood Sword, what do you have to say about your first death match in this week's blood tournant?"
Klaus turned and looked at Korvath's headless body and smiled. "I never expected Early Immortals to be this weak. I wonder how fun it will be to fight a Real Immortal."
Klaus flashed an evil smile.
And just like that, he had angered thousands of immortals. However, the Black Tempest Cartel had also noticed him.
