Chapter 961: Earth vs The Sea (2)
“Wow.”
Klaus muttered as he used Phantom Step to evade the arrow that arrived all of a sudden. It arrived in an instant, but he managed to dodge.
However, just when he thought he had completely evaded the arrow, it curved and shot back at him with an even greater speed.
Before Klaus could handle the rebound arrow, another one arrived from behind him, forcing him to handle the two arrows at the sa ti.
“What an impeccable display of bowmanship.”
Klaus was srized not only by the skill used but also by the timing and accuracy with which it was executed. It was sothing he never expected to see this early in the battle.
However, with his movent technique, he managed to evade all the arrows and even went further, destroying them completely.
From within the sea, Nebula, the one assigned by King Kordax to take out Klaus in the early stages of the battle, arrived wearing a mask.
Her bow was in her firm grip, and judging by the murderous look in her eyes, Klaus knew for sure that she was specifically sent to kill him.
However, no panic appeared on his face, for he was already prepared for this probable outco.
Nebula unleashed three rapid strikes, each aid at Klaus’s chest, but every arrow was evaded. Of course, Nebula was just getting started, and so is Klaus.
anwhile, on the other side, Arwan, the one sent to handle the Black Panther, also arrived with his innate domain powering his strike.
He looked fiercer, and perhaps due to so hidden rivalry between him and Nebula, he was more involved in the battle, aiming to kill the Black Panther much faster.
However, Prince Challa isn’t so ordinary warrior.
Despite only being at the Level 1 Ascension stage, even when facing a Level 4 Ascension stage warrior like Arwan, he was getting pressured. If anything, Arwan was the one to look weary.
The reason is simple.
Unlike the other Bast Race warriors, he had already awakened a bloodline, and that bloodline was sothing that ca from a god.
Now, while that is impressive, the one thing that made him powerful enough to even fight soone three levels ahead of his own was Klaus’s blood.
Long ago, Klaus gave his Star Monarch blood to the Panther Goddess Bast, making her beco a completely different version of herself.
And now, the sa blood that was mutated by the Star Monarch’s blood flows through his body. That alone, despite being minute, has given him all he needed to give Arwan a run for his money.

Klaus evaded another arrow from Nebula, then vanished, appearing behind her. However, before he could land an attack, Nebula split into four copies of herself.
Three were clones, and she could swap places with them, so she did, moving away from Klaus.
However, to her shock, Klaus saw through her skill.
Klaus unleashed a quick attack, destroying the three clones, leaving the real Nebula to fend for herself.
However, she didn’t panic; instead, she retreated and unleashed a powerful attack—one that caused thousands of arrows to appear in the air and rain down on Klaus.
“She is good, but too green to face .”
With a wave of his hand, Klaus raised the water from the ocean, using it to block all the arrows. The mont the arrows touched the water, they dissolved into it.
Nebula frowned behind her mask when her arrows were easily handled.
Now that Klaus had awakened all his elents, using the water elent was but a luxury.
The water rose so high that it cast a shadow over Nebula. However, she vanished the next second when Klaus sent the water hurtling at her.
Klaus scanned the surroundings and couldn’t find a trace of her.
He rely smiled, and then he used his illusion technique, creating 606 copies of himself in one go, flooding the sea with them.
All around, his illusion clones were moving, doing all kinds of things so that when Nebula appeared again—or was forced to appear—she wouldn’t know which one was the real Klaus.
Of course, she hadn’t been fighting the true version of Klaus to begin with.
Klaus was currently sitting beside Jane in a spaceship suspended in the clouds.
Before Jane, a map of the battlefield showed the various sides. Her side displayed golden dots, and the enemy had black dots.
At the mont, she was having a field day breaking the enemy’s formation.
The mont the battle started, she began moving her team into position.
First, she deployed Klaus’s five uncles, positioning them at the center of the monster tide, allowing them to not only break the montum of the enemy but also enabling Uncle Mark, who had a rather updated version of his shield domain, to enclose about six thousand monsters, giving his friends all the ti to handle them.
Safe to say, the only mistake the enemy made was deploying their Void stage monster army first.
With the shield domain up, they couldn’t even leave a dent in it, no matter how much they attacked.
However, that wasn’t the only thing she did.
Abyss, who had now beco the one with the most kills on the battlefield, was locked in combat with a Level 3 Ascension stage monster deployed to destroy the shield.
She moved Abyss into position even before the monster arrived.
The second monster that was deployed also t an obstacle when Unle Totti, whose defense couldn’t even be broken by a Level 5 Ascension stage warrior, blocked the second monster sent.
Then they sent the third, but this one was t by Aoi, who was currently at the Peak of the Chaos stage but had the strength to handle even a Level 3 Ascension stage monster.
By the ti all sixteen generals of Darkness were deployed, Jane had created the perfect trap for them, and now, with only seven Ascension stage monsters, King Kordax, and Skroll left to join the battle, the enemy had been boxed in—and the one behind it all was just yawning, waiting for the next phase of the enemy army to arrive.
“They are still not moving,” Jane turned to Klaus.
“Don’t worry, I am still here, and so are the five Overlords of the Sea. The mont they move, you can make the final move. This battle should be over soon enough.” Jane nodded.
“What about the Peak Ascension stage monster hidden within the sea?” she asked again.
Right now, she had everything under control, but when it ca to handling soone at the peak, she was unsure if she could do that.
It was one of the many things she was worried about before the battle started.
“Don’t worry about him. He wouldn’t interfere in the battle because I have made sure of that.”
Jane had no choice but to take Klaus at his word, though she was planning for it should things change.
“Why aren’t you facing her?” Jane said, pointing at Nebula, who was having a hard ti finding the true Klaus.
Though finding clones is as simple as sensing their soul, the sa cannot be said for Klaus’s clones. They aren’t actual clones but rely illusions made tangible.
And as per the law of reality, the mont an illusion is made tangible, it becos real. So, despite using her innate domain to try and look for the real Klaus, all she saw were hundreds of real Klauses that just wouldn’t die, no matter how many arrows she shot at them.
Klaus smiled and narrowed his eyes. “There is sothing about her I am trying to figure out.”
