The red moon, which was supposed to end 20 minutes ago, finally started to fade. The sky returned to normal, and the forest regained its natural colors. Klaus, who had been thriving off the effects of the Blood Moon Transformation, began losing his power at the worst possible moment.Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have cared, but this time, he was in serious trouble. A sword had been stabbed through his chest, sticking out from his back—courtesy of the Blood Queen.Klaus had intended to break her vine wall and overwhelm her with attacks while waiting for the Dragon to finish barbecuing the last of the Blood Princes. However, he had miscalculated. The wall wasn't meant for defense at all.It was just a smokescreen for the real attack the Blood Queen had planned, and unfortunately, Klaus fell for it. He broke through the wall as expected, but he paid the price with a sword through his chest.He hadn't expected it at all. From the start of the battle until now, the Blood Queen h

Despite the pain wracking his body, Klaus still held Miriam in his arms, making sure she was alright. His Overlord Healing passive ability was working in overdrive, but he could still feel the deep ache within. He didn't know what was on the sword that stabbed him, but the pain was intense.Even with all the pain, he wasn't complaining. He knew that what Miriam was going through was far worse. From what she had told him, Klaus knew she had been blaming herself for years. The events that led to her sister's death were too heartbreaking for her not to feel crushed by it.Klaus understood everything she was going through. Despite his own situation, he knew he had to let her vent for a while. So for the past four hours, the emotionless, ruthless, and bloodthirsty war goddess had turned vulnerable, pouring all her tears onto his chest."Are we done crying?" Klaus asked with a slight grin. After four hours, her tears finally stopped. Of course, he couldn't handle another round, so he cracke

As soon as Klaus re-entered his soul sea, he was greeted by the sight of a terrifying red eye with red runes spinning around it. The moment his gaze met the red eye, his vision blurred for a few moments before he regained clarity."What the fuck was that?" Klaus muttered, shaking his head."Seriously, why can't anything in my soul sea show some care and gentleness when they're trying to bless me with something?" Although he complained, a small smile tugged at his lips.The blackout he had just experienced wasn't a bad thing—in fact, it was good. He had received a technique from the red eye, and judging by its nature, it was exactly what he desperately needed.During the battle with the zombies, Klaus used the Eye of Despair along with his Eye of Malevolence to launch a soul attack that killed a Zombie Prince.But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. The attack was powerful, but he paid a steep price for it. The severe headache and soul strain were the consequences he had to endure for

As soon as Klaus left the room, he realized he was in the mansion of Dave Arcadian, the most secure place in all of Arcadian City. Clearly, the Overlord who had brought him there didn't want any danger reaching him.Klaus was now a hot commodity. A day after he wiped out every Zombie in the Demon's Abode, a video of his conquest was released to the world. Some parts had been edited out, but what remained was enough to set the internet on fire.While Klaus slept, unaware of the buzz, the world had taken notice. His status on the City, Regional, and Union Charts skyrocketed. He was now ranked 6th on the City Chart and 26th on the Regional Chart.But the biggest shock came from the Union Chart, where his ranking jump was described as the highest in warrior history. Klaus had leaped from the 900s to 120th place in a single day. The whole world was stunned.Klaus didn't just prove he belonged on those charts—he made it clear he was a force to be reckoned with. Although he hadn't yet cracke

Klaus, still smiling, stared back at the Lady Assassin, who was looking at him with a mix of emotions playing in her eyes. He had just revealed something she never expected anyone to know. That was a bold move.When Klaus first realized he was being followed, his instinct had been to kill her. And he could have done it easily. Even though he hadn't unlocked the Darkness Element yet, he was still an Elemental Overlord. He has connections to the elements, just that his control is limited without him first unlocking them.Klaus didn't feel sympathy, especially not for an Assassin sent by the Dark Order to kill him. His first thought had been to eliminate her and be done with it. But just as he was making plans to kill her, the senior stopped him.That was the sole reason why he had spent over fifteen minutes browsing through paintings of himself earlier. He was actually talking with the Senior in his soul sea, and from their conversation, he learned that the Assassin had some kind of sea
