Chapter 759 - Klaus' Improvement

The next day came quickly.

Grey and Klaus were the last to leave their rooms. Void had been exploring the city alone for some time now, he found some interesting things, but after Grey's repeated warnings, he managed to abstain from taking any of them.

This was a big city in a high leveled Region, so it was natural that he would find a lot of strange things.

When Klaus and Grey stepped out, the others were already waiting for them, so they headed for the arena. Void was sitting leisurely on Alice's shoulder, bored to the extreme. He preferred the times they were traveling. To him, they had stayed here for too long.

He was also very close to breaking through, and he needed a good place for that. According to him, he would need to consume something that had a good amount of elemental essence. The treasure they got from the mansion was excluded since it would put them in danger if used here.

Getting to the arena, it was already packed to the brim. People were already discussing who they felt would get into the top ten from the upcoming battles. There would be fifty battles to decide who makes it to the top fifty. After that, they would have to partake in another twenty-five battles to get to the top twenty-five.

An hour later, all the partic.i.p.ants were called on stage to draw lots for the next battles. Grey and Klaus were fortunate, having to fight against two Eighth stage Overlord Plane Elementalists.

Klaus was able to defeat someone in the Ninth stage, although he suppressed most of the time during that battle, all he needed to do was to change the heaviness of his water and he got the advantage and even defeated his opponent instantly.

The only downside to this was that the others now knew of this. They had sensed there was something odd about his water, but they hadn't seen it properly since he had been using the normal water to hide it, only using some of the special water.

Grey and Klaus were surprisingly among the first group of people to fight this time. The others who weren't fighting felt a little sad since they wouldn't be able to focus on a battle. The good thing was that Grey would definitely defeat his opponent in a short time, giving them the chance to watch Klaus' battle.

Grey and Klaus walked up to their platforms, staring at their opponents.

Grey's opponent could already feel her hopes shattered, but she didn't want to lose quickly.

Klaus' opponent felt as long as he could be alert against Klaus' special water, then he had a chance of winning.

The man in charge of the platform where Klaus was located confirmed from both partic.i.p.ants if they were ready before calling for the start of the battle.

Klaus' opponent was a Lightning Elementalist, so the second the battle started, he used a series of lightning moves against Klaus.

Klaus didn't panic as he used an ice wall to block the attacks before countering. When the young man tried to block the attack, Klaus sent out multiple ice arrows, while ice shards started sprouting from the ground, heading in the Lightning Elementalist's direction.

The Lightning Elementalist sent a lightning strike at the shards coming his way, destroying them, while he covered himself with the lightning element to dodge the ice arrows.

He countered after getting to a safe spot, well, a place where he felt was safe. Klaus stepped on the ground and the entire platform turned into ice. Instead of standing on the earthen platform, it was currently made of ice.

The Lightning Elementalist was alarmed by this and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, aiming at Klaus' head.

Klaus waved his hand above him and a shield made of ice appeared above him and blocked the attack.

The lightning struck the ice shield and spread in different directions.

The Lightning Elementalist was taken aback when he saw this. He could tell that Klaus hadn't used his special water yet, but his ice ability was already this powerful.

He had been preparing this lightning attack since the start of the battle, so it had gathered a good amount of strength, yet Klaus was able to block it with only an ice shield that wasn't even made from his special water.

This could mean only one thing, Klaus had gotten stronger.

He wasn't the only one who noticed this, the rest of the audience who had been watching Klaus' battle all this while noticed it as well.

"Looks like his all night training brought some improvements." Kyle commented.

"Grey gave him some things, I never knew they would be this effective." Alice said.

"And I really wanted him to be beaten a little before he gets into the top ten." Reynolds sighed.

He was beaten on some occasions, so he naturally wanted Klaus to go through that as well. It wasn't from ill will, he just didn't want Klaus to use this to mock him in the future.

"I still don't know how you guys became friends, and are still friends." Kyle shook his head.

Given the rate Klaus and Reynolds bicker, he was certain if it were some others, they would've become enemies by now. What was worse is that the duo laughed at each other's misfortune. However, he also knew that they wouldn't hesitate to fight to the death against anyone who harms one of them.

Maybe this was what true friendship was, fighting, arguing, laughing at each other before helping out, but in the end, they each cared deeply for each other.

While they were speaking, there was a change on Klaus' platform. The ice on the platform turned into water, and the Lightning Elementalist standing on it felt something hold onto his leg from the side.

He looked down only to see tentacles made of water grabbing his legs. Lightning sparked around him and cut off the tentacles. But they returned soon after.

When the Lightning Elementalist was focused on this, a large ice sword appeared above him and struck down immediately.

Boom!
