Klaus's question seemed casual, but he was being serious. In Fruity's memory, it was the Old Monk in that strange space who had given him the Nine Divine Beads, the first form. Now, Klaus sensed a strange familiarity between the tone of that Monk and the senior lurking in his soul sea.He couldn't help but ask. As expected, the senior said nothing in response to his question, nor did he mention Klaus's recent brush with death. Klaus wondered if the senior was paying attention at all. Still, he didn't push for answers.He nearly died, yet the one having residence inside his soul sea said nothing about it, clearly, he doesn't want to say things he doesn't want affecting him later.Instead, he focused on studying the Pentaface bead. So far, he had unlocked only two faces, just like Fruity. He had access to the [Bell of Harrows] and the [Eye of Despair].However, unlike Fruity, Klaus didn't need to bring the bead out when using these skills. The bead stayed within his soul sea, while the

"Senior, what's happening?" Klaus asked again, panic creeping into his voice. Around him, the space in his soul sea continues to tremble violently. The once calm, multicolored sea beneath him now boiled like a raging tsunami. He stood frozen in the middle of it all, completely unsure of what was going on."Listen carefully, Klaus," the senior's voice came through again, more urgent than before. "You're about to awaken a third eye, and when I say 'third eye,' I mean a spirit eye—but this isn't the real thing. This is a type of spirit eye that should never have existed in this world, not in this life."Klaus blinked, trying to make sense of the words, but the panic in the senior's voice only made things worse. It was rare for the senior to sound this rattled, which made the whole situation even more unsettling."Senior, tell me what's really happening. Forget karma and all that," Klaus insisted, his voice sharp with urgency.The senior sighed deeply. "I can't tell you much, trust me. If

In a dark, lifeless room, a dark-haired figure wearing a mask could be seen sitting quietly, resting his chin on his fist. However, despite his calm demeanor, there was this unsettling aura surrounding him giving him the presence of danger. Suddenly, a device in the room began beeping."My Lord, it is done," a masked face appeared on the screen after he answered. "Number 92 has been taken care of.""Good. Now, move to the next phase. He failed to complete the job. I hope you won't," the lord said, his voice calm but commanding."Arrangements have been made, my Lord. He will be moving out in a few days," the masked figure replied."Good. Make sure he succeeds. I don't think I need to remind you of the consequences of failure," the lord added."My Lord." The masked figure bowed before the projection faded from the screen."What a headache," the masked man muttered, his tone devoid of emotion. Not that it mattered—his mask hid any possible expression.Moments later, the device beeped aga

After eating, Klaus spent time chatting with Hanna, learning about her life. He found out that Hanna had been an orphan since she was seven. Her parents died during a monster tide, leaving her to fend for herself ever since.She grew up doing all sorts of odd jobs, saving whatever money she could to buy Celestial Water. Like Klaus, she had dropped out of school. But after she awakens her abilities, she starts hunting, just like Klaus, to survive and improve her life.Her story was similar to his, except that Klaus had a loving mother who had supported him over the years. Klaus reassured Hanna that her life would now be filled with love and that she should embrace it.Later that day, when Lucy was finally done with the other women, they let her go. She gladly rushed to Klaus's room. Klaus expected Ohema to spend the night with him, but Ohema had other plans."You should spend all the time you can with Lucy," Ohema said. "She'll be going back to the academy soon, and I'll still be here

Klaus looked at the ladies gathered in the room, all smiling brightly. He couldn't help but feel a burning rage toward the Dark Order. They had nearly taken his life, and that would have cost him this moment—to be surrounded by such heaven-defying beauties."Sister Lucy, why are you hiding behind Klaus?" Anna suddenly said, her playful tone making Lucy want to strangle her sister."Yes, Sister Lucy, why don't you come outside with us?" Nadia chimed in, having arrived just a few hours ago. She had been dealing with her own struggles since Klaus's sudden death, so She hadn't been around when he woke up. But as soon as she got Hanna's message that Klaus was alive, she dropped everything and rushed over.'You should probably go with them,' Klaus said to Lucy telepathically. 'I doubt your sister will pass up this chance to tease you. Better to get it over with.'Realizing there was no escape, Lucy stepped out from behind Klaus. Her gaze fixed on the floor, she walked toward her sister, who
