For Klaus it looked like time had stopped, he could see everything from the fear, shock and sadness in eyes of Fae and Luna to that fanatic smile on Sand Emperor's eyes
He also saw Cassie's eyes losing life and light in them as blood slowly dropped from her body
Many emotions rushed out of his consciousness all at once,
Fear of losing Cassie forever...
Denial of reality...
Desperation to save his friend...
Anger to rage chaos...
And the feeling he had almost forgotten for decades
The fear of losing someone close... That dark creepy feeling of loneliness that made him addicted to darkness in past life
"""Ahahahahahahahaha! You lose humans! You lose!!!"""
The Sand Emperor laughed like a fanatic, his evil aura was all over the place, he was clearly on verge of losing sanity
Klaus slowly turned his gaze towards him and next moment the whole space trembled, nerves were clear as day on Klaus's hands and body
His gaze was so cold that it made the temperature of the whole place turn icy for a second
That emotionless cold face mixed with all emotions in his soul, Klaus smashed Sand Emperor with an immense strength in fist
Sand Emperor's whole body turned into fine dust in air followed by the immense shockwave all over the desert
Even the Bofur at dwarf village hundreds of miles away from the place noticed the changes in the desert
Klaus immediately turned back to Cassie and next moment the runes in his body started glowing in golden green light
'Revive!'
[Making of Monarch Rune has used the Revive option!]
[It can't be used for a month!]
[Cassie has been completely revived!]
[All stamina had recovered and abnormal status has been removed!]
"I'm alive..."
The light in Cassie's eyes returned again, the life energy once again covered her from her soul and she looked just as surprised as others
""Cassie!""
Tier 11 Magic _ Dimensional Barrier
All fairies hugged each other with tears in their eyes but Klaus on other hand had completely lost his humanity for these few minutes
[The job skill 'One with Nature' is activated!]
The sky turned dark purple with thunder and storms all over the place and the eyes of Klaus had turned completely white and aura had turned immensely dense,
The flames all around his armour had turned completely blue, along with the blue flame circle behind his head
The Sand Emperor was still alive and just regenerated itself from the ground but next moment Klaus appeared right in front of his face
"""Wai-!!!"""
The eyes of the Sand Emperor just had fear in them as the fist approached his face, and that fist smashed him half of his body just turned into molten lava
But the ground below him and sand had completely vaporized because of the intense pressure of heat there was only a giant carter and crystallized glass at corners left there
Klaus caught the half regenerated cracked body of Sand Emperor and tossed it high in sky
"""Uaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"""
Hundreds of thunder fell all over him and next moment Klaus also appeared right in front of him and caught his head head with his hands
Klaus's chains completely immobilized him with sheer overwhelming strength covered with blue flames
Next Klaus kept punching Sand Emperor from all over his body, the layer of sand that was covering him like an armour almost as strong as admantium, the second strongest known material in this world
It started to crack like a plastic with each of Klaus's fists, that fear and desperation in Sand Emperor's eyes was clear as day
Klaus's eyes looked like they would burst out from anger and just then suddenly hundreds of miles away in Whiteblood family mansion at capital
Suddenly Bucky looked towards Klaus's direction with surprised eyes and next moment suddenly the whole space felt like it would crack
All kinds of living beings suddenly felt a weird feeling inside them as if someone had pieced a needle in their heart
[The host is using the 'Soul' element along with the flame element!]
[The host is using 'Mind' element along with Ice element!]
Klaus's both fists got covered in dark silvery and another fist in golden thread like brute auras
There was no technique to make any limits, Klaus was too angry to think about anything else
The Sand Emperor's eyes widened to their peaks and Klaus without any mercy smashed his both fists directly to Sand Emperor's body
The first strike filled with mind element cracked whole conciseness while the soul element directly damaged the very base of his existence, the soul
The pain he felt was millions of time much more painful and dangerous than any kind of physical torcher
And that was just fist strike, he felt millions of years of hellish torcher in just a second
Those strikes kept making their way towards the Sand Emperor's body and consciousness again and again
There was just a feeling of helplessness and endless regret remaining in whatever was left on him
[The elements of 'Soul' and 'Fire' have resulted in the temporary skill 'Soul Fire']
[The elements of 'Mind' and 'Ice' have resulted in the temporary skill 'Frozen Sanity']
Klaus didn't pay any attention to those notifications but his fists were now covered in intense heat of Purple Soul Fire that was burning the very soul of Sand Emperor thousand times more worse than hell fire
And the silvery blue fist covered in frost had completely frozen his mind, the saliva kept leaking from the Sand Emperor's mouth, he had broken completely from overwhelming physical and mental pain
Klaus had caught the Sand Emperor's body and kept punching, slowly all the sand from Sand Emperor's body disappeared, the layer of sand covering him was not there anymore to protect him
There was no such thing that can be called as body structure left in his body, every single bone and tissue in his body had turned into fine powder by now
There was no desert remaining in radius of a mile for him to regenerate himself, the whole place had turned into lava field
Even from miles away people could see the purple sky and angry nature in the desert, everyone felt chills just by gazing at Klaus's direction
There was a feeling of sensing a being immensely far more powerful than mortals,
An wrath of a literal God was not something mortals can watch experience with naked eyes...
It was their luck that the place where Klaus was just a desert with no life, if it was near any life settlement, there was no doubt that a whole country might have been exterminated from the very existence
Each strike of Klaus's fist carried strength of a small nuclear bomb itself
Just the shockwaves filled with the soul and mind element would have destroyed their very soul and mind at same time
The chances of survival were not even in option
{The Sand Emperor had been killed!}
{Level up!}
{Level up!}
{You have reached Tier 11, level 111!}
{You have killed the Sand Emperor that had been alive for millions of years, since the age of the Ancients!}
{The temporary skill 'Soul Fire' and 'Frozen Sanity' have been turned into permanent seals!}
Now the Sand Emperor looked like an smoked corpse of an old warrior but Klaus's strike had no stopping to them
He kept on smashing again and again and again, he had completely lost it at those moments
A dark purple and silvery blue symbol of seal has appeared into Klaus's both hands that reached his shoulders which slowly disappeared into his body along with the purple flames and frozen fist
Cassie approached Klaus herself seeing his condition
"Klaus... It's okay now..."
Klaus heard those words and his hands slowly stopped and his eyes returned to normal and tears rushed out from his eyes like endless waterfall
"What have I done... Why?
I wanted to improve the Reus but here... I can't believe I almost killed Cassie just because of my confidence...
I'm a bigger loser than Reus... I'm such a fool! I'm such a fool... I won't let this happen again... This is a promise..."
"No Klaus... You are not..."
"It's okay Klaus, we are here!"
"It's alright"
Noir also came out from Klaus's shadow as now all restrictions had been removed
Noir also tried consoling Klaus who had very unstable emotions in current state
For the first time in life Klaus lost to his emotions and it was a good thing, the burden was too great to be handled like a robot
Klaus kept crying for an entire hour while the fairies kept giving him their support emotionally
The dark clouds returned to the clear sky again and all the flames and lava started cooling in just a matter of minutes and hours the soil started forming in the middle of the ground because of the effects of Klaus's skill one with nature which wore off after some time
A few months have passed since this incident and Klaus successfully acquired the thing he had wanted and there was one more thing he gained unexpectedly that made the whole process worth it
After searching around the place Noir managed to find these treasures from under the ground
As the whole place had turned into dust and lava the things were found easily, it was Klaus's luck that the technique was underground locked in an artifact box and along with technique Klaus also found a black ball
