Chapter 1401 Amazing Klaus II
Klaus and the others rushed to where the explosion happened and they found the figure of those in the Ninth and Eighth stage, the trio at the Peak were nowhere to be seen.
The duo Alice was previously fighting with couldn"t survive the explosion and died from it. The Ninth stage Elemental Venerable Aries was fighting with was still barely alive. Only the trio at the Peak were nowhere to be seen.
Klaus looked towards the volcano and said, "They"re there. You guys can go deal with them."
"You"re not going?" Aries asked.
"I don"t like volcanoes." Klaus said, but after thinking about it, he added, "I"ll just go since I"m the leader of this squad."
"Who made you the leader?" Reynolds felt like beating Klaus up.
"We all agreed whenever Grey is not around I"ll lead the group. Do you think you can lead the group?" Klaus asked with cold eyes.
"I think Grey has messed up your head after beating you too often." Alice shook her head and moved in the direction of the volcano.
Klaus and Reynolds continued arguing while Aries followed behind Alice. She has come to understand that there was no speaking with the duo, they would argue over everything.
Reynolds wasn"t willing to be below Klaus, and Klaus seems to enjoy putting Reynolds below him. Well, that was how she saw it. Unknown to her, even when Klaus was weaker, he was still like this. The only person he willingly gives in to is Grey, other than Grey, he would never give in to anyone else. Even Grey tends to be a victim of his abuse on some occasions.
Klaus and Reynolds continued arguing as they headed toward the volcano.
"d.a.m.n, we really have to go in." Klaus dropped his head when he saw this.
It was clear that the bandits ran into the volcano, and if they wanted to capture them or even kill them, then they had to go into the volcano too.
"Yes we do. Don"t tell me the great "squad leader" is afraid." Reynolds teased.
"Who do you think you"re talking to? I"ve been to bigger and more dangerous volcanoes. This is a walk in the park." Klaus grunted and walked forward, taking the lead. He couldn"t see any opening on the body of the volcano, so the only in was through the top.
They flew to the top before entering the volcano.
After entering, they saw the trio close to the lava, they were healing themselves using the essence from the lava.
"You couldn"t even go far? Who runs to their hideout when being chased?" Klaus" irritating voice echoed in the volcano.
The trio raised their heads and looked at Klaus.
"It was you!" One of the Peak Venerables pointed his fingers which only had bones at Klaus.
He was the last to leave and saw the others escaping, except for Klaus. He recalled seeing a grin on Klaus" face when he was turning around, but he didn"t think about it, only now that he saw Klaus" face did he recall it. Klaus was an evil fiend that deserved the most gruesome death.
"It"s good you know the name of your killer. I would"ve been disappointed if you pointed at someone else." Klaus shrugged, clearly proud that he was remembered by the man.
One of the men did a hand seal and the volcano started to show signs of activity.
Klaus froze when he saw this and asked, "I thought it wasn"t active?"
"Not to my knowledge." Aries replied.
"We"ve been keeping this guy from erupting for years now. We kept it this way for a situation like this. Since we want him dead, we"ll unleash it on you." One of the bandits said, his face was half flesh half skeleton.
Lava started to shoot out of the lava pool the bandits were standing close to. Klaus and the others who were mid-air were forced to dodge the lava.
Klaus wanted to use his water element but he noticed an abnormality.
"f.u.c.k! This is why I hate volcanoes!"
Klaus" water element was being suppressed due to the volcano. The effect was stronger due to the volcano being on the verge of erupting.
However, Aries and Alice could feel the fire essence in their bodies heat up.
Alice took in a deep breath and a sound of pleasure left her mouth, "Ah… this is so satisfying. If only volcanoes would erupt more often."
Aries nodded in agreement before charging at the trio who were on the side.
Reynolds didn"t feel his element being suppressed, nor did he feel any boost in his strength, he looked at the trio and his armor appeared on his body.
Klaus was the only one who had a grumpy expression on his face. He couldn"t believe there was nothing he could do due to the suppression of his element.
Alice merged with her Seelie and her strength shot up. Not to the Peak, but she had no problems with fighting against one of the bandits in her current stage.
The bandits were not at their peak, so they naturally wouldn"t be able to suppress her.
Reynolds, after merging with his Elemental Warrior, was at the Peak. Aries was also at the Peak, so Klaus wasn"t technically needed in this battle.
A fierce battle started the moment the trio from both sides clashed.
The bandits were already seriously injured, so they were fiercer in the battle. If they held back, they would die, this was something they were aware of.
Alice was a battle maniac and enjoyed battles like this. Reynolds didn"t mind engaging in these types of battles since he had the Elemental Warrior armor.
Aries was a fearsome fighter, so she could deal with battles like these.
Klaus was annoyed there was nothing he could do and turned his anger to the volcano. Since the presence of the lava was making him weak, he would freeze it.
Klaus" domain appeared and his body started to show signs of freezing. His skin turned pale white from the drop in temperature and even his eyes turned silver. A large silver moon appeared behind Klaus, and with a wave of his hand, a large gust of snow blew toward the volcano pool.
The bits of volcano that were spewing out froze the second the snow blew past it.
Klaus was incensed, and he was going to go all-out against this volcano!
The trio were in a heated battle against the bandits, while Klaus focused on the volcano.
The lower part of the volcano was hot from the heat leaving the lava, but the upper part of the volcano was freezing from the cold leaving Klaus" body.
Klaus turned his body into an ice dispenser. He was sending out a chilling cold that even those who were in the middle of battle could feel it.
They paused and looked in Klaus" direction and they were amazed, even Alice and Reynolds were dumbstruck by Klaus" current appearance. His eyes were the most dazzling. The silver eyes along with the moon behind him gave him a striking appearance.
Klaus yelled and a large ice needle appeared. The cold it gave off shook the hearts of those present. The bandits knew that if this attack hit any of them, they would not be able to survive it.
Klaus, who everyone thought had his eyes on the volcano suddenly unleashed a tiny needle at one of the bandits.
"Stay focused. Hahaha!"
Klaus" laughter accompanied his attack as the man was frozen solid.
Aries and the others were once dumbfounded by this. Klaus had the time to even do a sneak attack even when in such a condition. It was clear that he was vexed by the fact that he couldn"t join in on the battle, now after drawing all the attention to himself, he killed off Reynolds" opponent.
"f.u.c.k! Why did you have to kill the person I"m fighting?!" Reynolds suddenly realized something.
Klaus didn"t kill anyone else"s opponent, rather, he killed his. That was annoying.
"Hahaha, even when I"m not interested, I can beat someone you can"t! Weakling." Klaus laughed once again.
Like a maniac, the large needle was sent toward the lava.
As soon as the tip of the needle struck the lava, the lava gave off steam. It was clear that the cold and heat were fighting each other.
Reynolds didn"t continue to fight with the bandits, leaving only Alice and Aries to fight with them.
This time, they didn"t dare to be distracted by Klaus" fight with the volcano. One of them was already dead, and there was no way they could escape now. The only chance they could escape from them was if they could win against the ladies.
As the battle between them got to the peak, they sensed the temperature drop to a staggering level.
This time, they were forced to look, and once again, they were left speechless.
"Amazing…" Aries couldn"t keep it in. Klaus truly was amazing.
