The Shadowmane charged at Klaus, its powerful legs propelling it forward with terrifying speed. Klaus barely had time to react, raising his sword to block the attack. The impact st a shockwave through his body, but he managed to hold his g.
Before he could counter, the python struck from the other side, its tail whipping a with deadly force. Klaus was forced to jump back, narrowly avoiding the attack. However, before he could land on the g, a macing claw came swinging at his face.
“Crap!” Klaus instinctively raised his hand to shield his face. The Shadowmane’s claw slammed into his arm, sding him flying backward. He crashed into a tree with ough force to knock it down, the impact rattling his bones.
“Fuck me,” Klaus groaned, coughing up a mouthful of blood. He forced himself to stand, every muscle in his body screaming in protest. But he was too slow, or maybe he just hoped the monsters would give him a momt to recover. That hope was quickly dashed as the python’s scaly tail came swinging at him with deadly speed.
Using his hand as leverage, Klaus propelled himself up just in time, narrowly avoiding the tail’s crushing blow. As he dodged, something clicked in his mind. “So that’s how it works,” he muttered to himself. He hadn’t se the tail coming, but his body had reacted anyway, his Sse skill kicking in, almost like a sixth sse guiding him.
The realization gave him a glimmer of hope. If he could rely on this instinct, maybe he could find a way to turn the tide. But there wasn’t much time to think. The Shadowmane lunged at him again, its blood-stained claws slicing through the air. Klaus dodged to the side, the claws barely missing him by inches.
“I have to disrupt their attack patterns,” Klaus said through gritted teeth. He was on the defsive, barely managing to stay one step ahead of the monsters’ reltless assaults. But he couldn’t keep this up forever. He needed a plan.
The python hissed, its jaws snapping at him from one side, while the Shadowmane circled a, looking for an oping. Klaus felt the pressure mounting, the weight of both monsters bearing down on him. But now, with his Sse skill, he could feel their movemts, sse the rhythm of their attacks. It was chaotic, but there was a pattern—one he could use to his advantage.
“Moon Slash!” Klaus shouted, swinging his sword in a wide arc. The cresct-shaped ergy flew toward the python, forcing the creature to recoil. It wasn’t a decisive blow, but it bought him a few precious seconds.
He dodged another claw swipe from the Shadowmane, rolling to the side as the beast’s claws gouged deep furrows into the g. Klaus could feel his stamina dwindling, the warmth that had bolstered him earlier now fading. But he couldn’t stop. If he slowed down, ev for a second, he’d be done for.
As the monsters pressed their attacks, Klaus began to notice more about their patterns. The Shadowmane always aimed for his left side, where he was weaker, while the python tried to corner him with wide sweeps of its tail. They were trying to trap him, to pin him down so they could finish him off together.
Klaus dodged another tail swipe, the Sse skill guiding his movemts. He saw an oping, a brief momt where the monsters’ attacks would overlap. If he could time it right, he might be able to use their own momtum against them.
He feigned a stumble, letting the python think it had him cornered. The creature lunged, and at the last second, Klaus threw himself to the side, narrowly avoiding the jaws snapping shut where he had just be standing. The Shadowmane, seeing an opportunity, charged in from the other side, its claws aimed at Klaus’s back.
But Klaus was ready. He twisted his body, bringing his sword up in a desperate slash. The Moon Slash cut through the air, not as powerful as before but still sharp ough to force the Shadowmane to pull back. The beast’s claws scraped against his side, drawing blood, but Klaus didn’t falter. He had disrupted their timing, thrown them off balance.
Breathing heavily, Klaus pushed himself harder. He couldn’t let them regain control. He had to keep them off balance, had to keep disrupting their attacks until he found a way to break free completely. The python lashed out with its tail, but this time Klaus saw it coming, using his Sse to dodge to the right and counter with a quick slash to the creature’s flank.
The Shadowmane snarled, leaping at him from behind, but Klaus ducked low, feeling the rush of air as the beast sailed over him. He was starting to get the hang of it, the rhythm of the fight becoming clearer with each passing momt.
“Now!” Klaus shouted, slashing his sword in a strange arc. A dse cresct of ice shot out, heading straight for the Shadowmane. But Klaus didn’t stop there. He dashed forward, each step carefully calculated.
The python reacted instantly, whipping its tail toward him with a powerful strike. The force behind it was ough to crush bones, but Klaus was ready. Just before the tail could connect, he ducked low, leaving an oping.
The tail, now with nothing to stop it, continued its path and slammed into the Shadowmane’s side with the force of a battering ram. The beast let out a deafing roar as it was st flying through the air, crashing into the g with a heavy thud.
“Eat that, bastard!” Klaus cursed with a grin, his voice full of triumph. He turned his focus back to the snake, an evil smile spreading across his face. The python, still recovering from its strike, was vulnerable.
Klaus didn’t waste any time. He gathered his remaining strgth, channeling every bit of his spiritual qi and elemtal essce into his next attack. The blade of his sword shimmered with an icy glow, more intse than before.
With a powerful leap, Klaus closed the distance betwe him and the python. The creature hissed, trying to coil away, but Klaus was faster. He swung his sword in a wide, deliberate arc, the ice-infused blade slicing through the air.
The Moon Slash connected, cutting deep into the python’s thick scales. The creature let out a final, agonized hiss as Klaus’s blade tore through it, splitting it in two. The massive body convulsed for a momt before going still, the life drained from its eyes.
As soon as the python collapsed, Klaus felt a powerful stirring in his spiritual sea. A wave of warmth washed over him, flooding his nearly drained spiritual sea with fresh ergy. But it didn’t stop there. His connection to the elemts, especially the ice elemt, intsified, becoming several times stronger than before.
His sses sharped ev more, and the fatigue that had weighed him down vanished. His body felt loose, almost weightless, and his ergy surged back to life, filling him with rewed vigor.
“You can die now,” Klaus said, turning his gaze back to the Shadowmane. He raised his sword with a confidt smirk, th swung it in a casual arc. This time, the cresct-shaped ice arc he st flying had a bluish glow, thicker and more pott than before.
The arc sliced through the air with deadly precision, slamming into the Shadowmane’s forehead. The impact caved in the monster’s skull, and blood gushed out in torrts. The ice that usually sealed wounds couldn’t contain this one. The beast staggered backward, th collapsed with a heavy thud, lifeless.
Klaus stood over the fall creatures, a wide grin spreading across his face. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride. Two Tier monsters, both dead by his hand. It was a feat he would have never thought possible before, but here he was, standing victorious.
“Ha! Who needs years of training wh you’ve got natural talt like mine?” he said aloud, shamelessly bragging to himself. He looked down at the monsters, his chest puffed up with pride. “They didn’t stand a chance. Not against Klaus, the future Overlord.”
He walked a the fall beasts, inspecting his handiwork. “Look at this,” he said, poking the Shadowmane’s corpse with his sword. “I nearly died, but all this is worth it. More money for me”
Klaus chuckled to himself, feeling a bit giddy from the adraline still coursing through his veins. “If I keep this up, I’ll be a Saint in no time,” he mused, imagining all the power and respect that would come with such a title.
Klaus stored away his sword, feeling the rush of victory still pumping through his veins. With a flick of his wrist, he oped the scre to check his progress.
[You have killed a Tier Monster called Alasbaser Ice Jade Python. You have received 500 Exp.]
[You have leveled up. Currt Level: Level Awaked. You have received 0 Stat points.]
[You have killed a Tier Monster called Shadowmane. You have received 500 Exp.]
[Next Level up: 900/0]
“Wait, so this means the Exp is some kind of soul ergy I get after every kill,” Klaus muttered, piecing it together. “If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean my spiritual qi pool will be bigger than others?” He started doing the math in his head. Normally, others only required 0 Exp to level up to Level , and that amount would double for each subsequt level.
But in his case, he needed 600 Exp for the first level-up, and th it doubled again.
Not to mtion, others only needed nine levels to advance to the next stage, while Klaus required twelve. If this Exp really was fueling his spiritual qi, th he’d have a massive qi pool soon. Intrigued, Klaus quickly checked his status scre.

“Damn, what did I do in my past life to become this lucky?” Klaus whispered, his eyes widing at the scre. He couldn’t believe his luck. All thoughts about the massive amount of Exp he needed to level up vanished from his mind. The sheer power and pottial he saw in his stats made him overly excited.
“With this much spiritual qi, I’ll be able to unleash attacks way stronger than anyone else at my level,” he mused, his mind racing with possibilities. “And if I keep leveling up like this, who knows how powerful I’ll become?”
“Although I can’t ascd today, I will sure raise my level a little higher before leaving” Klaus stored the bodies of the monster and dashed away. Time to level up
