Chapter 1109: The Awakening (13)
So far, Klaus still knew next to nothing about his 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th incarnations.
Of course, he was aware his first incarnation was where everything began. It was when he became the Paragon and started walking the Nine Reincarnation path.
He was called Paragon then.
Then he also knew his second incarnation was when he was known as the Divine Archer. He was Knox back then.
His third incarnation was also when he reincarnated as the Asura god. This incarnation, however, thanks to Queenie, he was able to get bits and pieces of his memory back.
However, he had no idea how his life turned out in his 5th year, which he now knows was when he became the Paragon of Shadows, and in his 6th year, when he became the Paragon of Death.
For his 7th, he already has memories, and for his 8th, he has just started recalling them now that Pickle Berry has turned 16.
For his 9th incarnation, he had an idea of who he was back then.
So, despite not knowing half of himself, Klaus knew the life from which Lunara’s first life came was a harsh one.
Klaus is paying extra attention to his wives, one mind dedicated to each of them. So he saw the kind of woman Lunara had become and compared her to when she fought in the past; this new her is much darker with her scythe.
Klaus didn’t know where she was from. Which incarnation they met in...
However, he knew during his 7th incarnation, his five wives were in the process of recovering their memories before they sacrificed themselves during the awakening.
Now, he could only speculate what kind of existence she was before they met in his 7th incarnation.
For now, he can only sigh and hope that when all this is over, she will open up to him and let him help her solve her complicated past.
As more enemies keep coming, the battlefield starts to spread again. This time, Klaus let his people pull back to allow the enemies to come into full range.
Eventually, the Neburians stop coming, and the last of the Kathorians, except their king and his five guards, still remained on the other side.
The mercenaries had all come out in full, with not even a single Lifa Stage warrior joining them. However, even so, they are very dangerous considering the majority of them are Nether and Domain Stage.
"Something has to change," Klaus said, seeing his side getting pressed. Of course, the idea of getting pressed is when a warrior from his side is forced to handle two or more enemies at the same time.
However, they keep holding on, and Klaus, who could solve their problem by sending more reinforcements, decided to hold back for now.
This is going to be a long battle, and if he sends everyone, they will be exhausted by the time the true danger appears.
"Send the Great and Legacy families," Queenie said, seeing her side getting pressed. Klaus shook his head, his mind calculating.
"It is still too early, and look, they aren’t dying. With fewer of you on the battlefield, the array is much more efficient."
Klaus is no machine. He has emotions, so he wasn’t about to become a machine with no emotions and allow his people to suffer to their death.
The reason he wasn’t sending more people into battle was because of the array he built into the battlefield. It is growing and now, aside from merely teleporting those in danger, it is also going on the offensive.
However, it is not yet at the level Klaus wants it to be. It is still charging...
He turns and looks in General Okoye’s direction, who had already killed nine Domain Stage warriors, and half her hair has already turned red.
He also turned to his uncles, who were having a field day with the enemy.
"Three more minutes and all of this will be handled," Klaus said, and Queenie, who had no idea what he was waiting for, decided to wait.
A Neburian lunged at a young lady wielding a double-edged sword. She sidestepped and grabbed the Neburian’s hand, then yanked him forward. With one quick thrust, her sword went through his chest.
She then dodged to her left, evading a dagger that came from behind. However, before she could move, a shadow stirred behind her and grabbed the assassin who tried to sneak-attack her.
She gave the newcomer a nod before vanishing into the chaos of the battle. The new assassin killed the Neburian assassin and, using her dagger, inscribed a mark on the dead Neburian assassin’s forehead before melting back into the shadows.
When she was gone, the dead body dissolved into the ground, leaving a mark on the ground.
Somewhere on the battlefield, the same thing happened again. A Neburian tried to kill an Earth warrior; however, an assassin from the Dark Assassins of Earth appeared, killed the target, and drew the symbol on their forehead.
Once that was done, the body disintegrated and left a rune symbol on the ground.
A minute passed, and the pressure only seemed to keep pressing down on the Earth warriors.
Suddenly, a figure moved through the air and landed heavily on the ground. Hundreds of Earth warriors were thrown into the air by the shockwave created.
His fist clenched, and he was about to send a sonic boom that would undoubtedly kill a few hundred Earth warriors. However, his back broke into a cold sweat when he sensed danger locked on him.
He abandoned that attack, allowing the Earth warriors to keep their lives.
When he turned around, he only saw a kid clad in dark leather armor, wielding two daggers.
This person was Velkhan, Klaus’s 5th soul body, the Paragon of Shadows.
"What?" The man, who was just a step away from the Domain Stage, widened his eyes when he saw a mere kid cause his back to break into a sweat. He certainly never expected that to happen.
A mere kid shouldn’t have the means to make him that afraid.
However, before he could do anything, Velkhan pointed behind him. "Maybe focus on her instead."
The man felt his life threatened. His body tensed, and before he could move out of the way, a thin sword cut through his neck, taking his head off.
"Well played, Velkhan." Klaus’s mom gave a high-five to Velkhan, who distracted the man for her to kill. On the battlefield, within a 300-meter radius, the nine soul bodies were distracting targets for the woman to kill.
They were too fragile to fight actively, so they only took advantage of their powerful innate domains to help her take them out.
Klaus saw their battle plan, and he was impressed.
"Looks like they might just last more than an hour." He wanted to really assume his mom and the soul bodies could make many changes in the battle.
However, he knew if they remained there for long, they would be in danger, so he was on standby to help them.
"AAaaarrRRgggGGhhHHH!"
Suddenly, painful cries came from where Ohema was fighting. When Klaus turned his gaze there, he saw a large field of purple mist covering over 40,000 Kathorians.
"What is that?" This was his first time seeing Ohema use such an ability.
Queenie smiled when she saw this. "That is her Poison Farm."
"How does it work?" Klaus asked again, but Queenie just laughed and told him to keep watching.
