Chapter 1400 Amazing Klaus
"Two is not enough, you should join them." Klaus pointed at the third Peak Venerable.
He was looking down on the bandits, and it infuriated them even more when they saw the eyes he was giving them. Klaus had no respect for them and felt he could defeat all of them on his own. This was something the bandits didn't want to accept.
There was no way they would believe they would be defeated by a single kid.
Klaus didn't have any qualms with fighting them on his own. Well, he didn't really want to fight them on his own. He's just riling them up before the battle.
The man moved close to Klaus, one of the bandits at the Peak joined him and they charged at Klaus.
Klaus snorted and an ice wall appeared before him, blocking the path of the duo who were coming his way.
"Don't rush. I'm enough for you guys. Tell the others to wait, I'll kill them when I'm done with you guys." Klaus said to the others who were about to attack Aries and the others.
Aries couldn't help but take a glance at Klaus.
Alice, seeing her reaction, said, "That's how he is. He has no interest in fighting with them. He's just distracting them."
Realization dawned on Aries when she heard Alice's explanation, now she understood why he was talking this much. In all honesty, she could see that the bandits all had him in mind and if given the chance, they would all charge at him. To be fair, she thought this was a nice skill to have, but being able to irritate so many people was not something just anyone could do.
"How's he still alive?" She blurted out.
"Well, we're always with him. And he's smart enough not to annoy people above his backing." Alice expected her to feel this way. For someone able to annoy people this much, it was easy to assume he had too many enemies.
Reynolds didn't rush into battle, he brought out his Elemental Warrior before fighting with those in the Late stages.
Aries was fighting with one Peak Venerable and one Ninth stage Venerable, Alice didn't merge with her Seelie and was fighting with someone in the Eighth stage just like her.
Reynolds took over those that were left.
The appearance of Reynolds' Elemental Warrior took the entire battlefield by surprise. The Elemental Warrior made things tilt over to Klaus and his friends' side.
The duo at the Peak who were fighting with Klaus couldn't believe their eyes, they looked at Klaus who had a grin on his face.
"You guys are morons. Don't you even think? Do you think we'd want to fight with you guys without being confident?"
Klaus started cussing at the bandits, his voice was loud enough for all of them to hear. He abused them in so many ways that even when the thought of escaping came to their heads, they were too vexed not to even think about it. All they wanted to do was to kill Klaus.
They weren't too interested in fighting with the others, all they wanted to do was to kill Klaus, that was all they were concerned about.
Aries was shocked at the rate at which these people hated Klaus. All he did was to say a few words, well, she would be vexed at the words if they were directed at her, but she didn't feel she would have the same reaction as the group.
Klaus was laughing hard, even though he was being bombarded by multiple attacks, he was laughing his heart out. His defense was too strong and it was frustrating the duo fighting with him. Before they could take down one wall, another would appear, making it seem like all their efforts were in vain.
Aries was stronger than her opponents, but since there were two of them, she wasn't able to deal with them in a short time. She had the better attack power, but she had to focus on two places at the same time which made things hard for her.
Alice was fighting with two opponents in the Eighth stage, and it wasn't easy for her. She was under some pressure, but she wasn't worried. With her strength, all it would take was time and she would successfully be able to defeat them.
Reynolds' Elemental Warrior had been able to send the Ninth stage Venerable it was fighting with. Being at the Peak, there was no way this person would be a match for it. After injuring him, it moved closer to Reynolds and attacked the person fighting with Reynolds.
The man didn't expect the Elemental Warrior to attack while he was under pressure from Reynolds' attack. He was forced to take Reynolds' attack while blocking the Elemental Warrior's attack. Unfortunately, he was in the Eighth stage of the Venerable Plane, there was no way he would be able to block the attack of the Elemental Warrior that's at the Peak of the Venerable Plane.
Both Reynolds and the Elemental Warrior's attack hit him at the same time. He was clamped in the middle of the attack and felt the full brunt of it. There was no way he could survive the attack of the duo, and he died under the impact of the attack.
"Rey, you always make it so easy." Alice complained and her Seelie appeared.
When Alice's Seelie appeared, it dawned on the bandits that this was a battle they couldn't win. The thought of escaping came to them at this moment. Since this wasn't a battle they could win, then the best thing to do was to run away.
Reynolds and his Elemental Warrior naturally wouldn't allow the Ninth stage Venerable with them escape. Alice and her Seelie also held back the duo with them.
Aries and Klaus were fighting with two, and none of their opponents would want to show their backs to the duo, they knew just as dangerous each of them were.
Klaus might've only been defending all through the battle, but the men knew he was by no means dangerous when it came to attacking.
Aries was a relentless attacker, even when fighting against two people, she was still the one who held the initiative due to always being on the front foot when fighting. The best defense is to attack.
"Use them, don't hold anyone back!" One of the Peak Venerables fighting with Klaus screamed.
They could see their defeat slowly coming.
After Reynolds joined his Elemental Warrior against the Ninth stage Venerable, they killed him in a very short time.
Of the large group of bandits, only six were left, Klaus had two of them, Aries had two, and Alice had two.
Reynolds had killed the duo with him, and he didn't help anyone else, rather, he was standing on the side, waiting for who might attempt to escape from the area.
Alice's Seelie was stronger than the Eighth stage Venerable it was fighting with, and so was Alice. Before long, the duo had seriously injured their opponents, leaving them on their last legs.
Not just them, but Aries had been able to also severely injure the Ninth stage Venerable.
Klaus was the only one who hadn't caused any harm to his opponents.
After one of the Peak Venerables said this, those left alive brought out a talisman.
Aries' eyes enlarged when she saw this and yelled, "Retreat!"
She knew what these things were and didn't dare to be hit by them.
The bandits tossed the talisman towards Klaus and the others.
Klaus, seeing all of them smiled and used his water element to gather all the talisman, compressed them into a small ice ball and tossed them at the group of bandits who were also running.
He was so fast that even his friends didn't know when he completed it.
Boom!
A loud explosion came from where the bandits were headed.
Aries paused when she sensed where the explosion came from.
"What happened?" She couldn't help but ask.
Klaus, being the only one left standing, explained, "I took their talisman and tossed it at them."
"Wait, what?" Aries couldn't believe her ears.
"They were struck by their talisman." Klaus said.
Reynolds looked at Klaus and said, "Since when did you become such a great fighter?"
"I've always been a good fighter, I just don't like showing off." Klaus snorted.
Aries looked at the duo, still stunned with what she just heard. She could see where the explosion happened and knew Klaus wasn't lying, but she still found it hard to believe.
What she didn't know was that due to Klaus' ice ability, he was able to use the cold to slow down the explosion of the talisman, giving him the chance he needed to compress them into a single ice ball and send it towards the bandits.
"We better go capture them. You know they won't die from that attack." Alice reminded the group.
Aries nodded, still in shock at Klaus' feat.
