"First rule of slaughter: always kill the assassin first," Klaus grinned.
Oscar held his chest in agony as part of his soul was chopped off along with the shadow assassin. His life, and theirs, had been linked when he summoned them using his life force.
So the mont they died, a part of him died with them.
That was the price he had to pay for power.
He could only bla himself.
Klaus resud his battle, putting the third plan into motion. The dual-wielding swordsman had to go.
"Crap..." Klaus was thrown away, his body latched onto by the thick, pointy alien hair. It had turned into ropes—or so it seed—wiggling and twisting in the air.
"Let go of , bastard!" Klaus pulled, but he couldn't break free from the countless strands of hair gripping his arms and legs.
BOOM!
A mallet crashed down on him, sending him flying. Still, the hair clung to him, and it felt as if it were creeping toward his soul. Klaus felt a bad premonition about what would happen next.
If he doesn't free himself fast, sothing horrible will happen to him...
'Fuck... I have to improvise now.'
He hadn't expected this, but he planned to make it more exciting.
"Face of Starvation!" Klaus finally used it for the first ti since opening the face of starvation on the Demon bead.
The heavens rumbled as a large, twisted, and grotesque face appeared—one with a combination of smiling and crying expressions.
"Physical Starvation"
Klaus activated the only ability of the Face of Starvation that he wanted at the mont: Physical Starvation. This ability causes sothing akin to hunger but on their strength and stamina...
Thus, their nightmare began. The hunger was caused by their stamina and strength getting sucked away. They were screwed.
'What a brute.'
Klaus watched as the troll charged at the Face of Starvation, a smirk gracing his lips. The next second, a beam of soul energy shot from the eyes, sending him flying back.
Klaus used the eyes on the Face to unleash a soul attack. Just like the Eyes of Malevolence from the Face of Despair, this allowed him to use soul attacks through the eyes.
There was no way to approach the Face to destroy it. They could only co at Klaus, and since their stamina was falling, Klaus began to see openings.
But he wasn't in a position to make a move. He was literally locked in place by ropes of hair.
'Well... I will be damned.' Klaus smiled when he sensed sothing. At the sa ti, the alien sensed danger and quickly retracted his hair.
But he wasn't fast enough. Klaus had already gotten hold of five strands.
His eyes crackled with lightning, and then he tapped into the natural conduit—the hair. The next second, the alien's head was fried crispy.
He died.
Klaus coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he smiled, showing his bloodstained teeth. In fact, his smile was more of a grin mixed with laughter.
He was indeed feeling the pain, but at the mont, he could feel his ninth core forming steadily. The bodies of the Assassin and Alien dissolved, along with their weapons, but they had blessed him with EXP points.
Of course, he never saw the ssage, mainly because he wasn't in the heaven domain. But he was thankful. Two Ascendents are dead, and now, he is nearing the Sage stage.
He had killed his second Ascendant. It was a re coincidence, but he made it happen. Now, two variables were removed from the battle, and his third plan was set to go.
Or so he thought... The next second, his plans changed again.
______________
So people are rely born unlucky. They never had the luck they wanted, mainly because they always found themselves in anything but encouraging situations.
The succubus lady was one of those.
From the start of the battle until now, she never had the chance to use any of her skills. She was basically useless—more like unlucky.
The domain of battle she found herself in wasn't the best or most encouraging for her skill set.
The dragon was a nace.
She never stood a chance, and thanks to her overly exposed body, the dragon was practicing its roasting abilities quite well. Now, she was charred in all the right places.
The damn dragon burnt her butt cheek... the savagery.
In fact, having an elental dragon was the best. The dragon was practically unkillable. But that didn't an it was having an easy ti. The Dark Elf was showering it with arrows.
But they overlooked sothing.
The dragon wasn't an entity on its own. No, the dragon was more like a spirit that ca from Klaus. And as such, spirits tend to carry traits from those they ca from.
Klaus was a savage, fearless, and a maniac.
But on top of that, he was competitive. And the dragon seed to have carried that trait. The trait that made it the most dangerous in this regard.
The mont Klaus killed the shadow, the dragon beca competitive. It also wanted to kill its own target. And thus, the dragon beca a savage—another trait it got from Klaus.
However, according to Klaus, savagery goes hand in hand with another trait he calls [Equal Opportunity As Whooping].
This trait basically ans no matter the gender, he will give everyone equal treatnt. And so, the succubus beca the steak the dragon was practicing its barbecue on.
In the next ten minutes after Klaus killed Alien, the dragon bathed the succubus in an unholy baptism of fla. It was breathtaking... I an, devastating, to say the least. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
Oscar, who had recovered from the death of the shadow, saw this and nearly passed out from fear. The two cats watching from the top floor of the dungeon also saw it and broke into a cold sweat.
The dragon decreased its size to thirty ters long, which seed to increase the burning force of its fire.
This was the day a succubus regretted being a succubus.
The dragon barbecued her for ten whole minutes until she couldn't take it anymore and died. Her entire body was charred, with no sign of even an unburnt part.
Everything was burnt.
Then the dragon roared, making Klaus, who was about to implent his next plan, look in its direction. His plans imdiately changed because he never expected this outco, but it had presented itself.
Instead of going after the Swordsman, Klaus looked toward the Shaman and smiled.
He had picked him as his next target. Since the Shaman was making things difficult for him by empowering his teammates, he needed to go.
After destroying his soul gem, the shaman was almost missing from the battle. But while that was true, the buff spells he was casting kept making things hard for Klaus.
So he had to go...
Klaus didn't hold back as his attacks began raining down on the three remaining targets he was facing. The battle was chaotic, but Klaus was enjoying himself with the [Face of Starvation] still active.
He moved between attacks, making sure every strike was calculated.
It didn't take long for him to receive a stab to his side, but at the cost of losing one arm.
Now, the demon had lost a tail and an arm, but Klaus was also badly injured. He was running low on blood now.
But he managed to get close to the Shaman and then used his skill, "Mind In a Whirlwind."
It was a mind attack that imdiately sent the Orc down a spiral. But the next second, his nightmare ca true when he heard Klaus speak.
"Buddha command, Buddha dispose. Instant Teleportation."
What he felt afterward was a scorching burn that reached deep within his soul.
