Chapter 1006: Statues
The moment Klaus’s eye landed on the statue, he felt like he was staring at a real person. He could sense a thin and pointed intent, one that carried the will to kill coming from the entirety of the statue.
“This feeling,” Klaus muttered, willing himself to walk close to the statue despite his entire self screaming at him to run away.
Klaus disregarded those feelings and chose to approach the statue.
However, after taking three steps, he came to a halt, and then his eyes widened.
Right now, the Klaus standing was but a husk. His consciousness was elsewhere.
Where Klaus appeared, there was no calm to it. He appeared in a stormy zone with raging clouds, lightning, and thunder filling the entire space.
Klaus naturally felt his body frozen in place when somebody appeared behind him. When he turned, or more like he was turned, he met the gaze of the statue lady, only this time, she was a real person and much more alive and looking deadly.
The lady looked at him for a few minutes before she let go of his body. “You have the mark of my master, but you don’t have his authority. That said, since you are akin to his successor, I am obligated to take you as my new master.
However, I can’t take you in as my disciple for you dont qualify to become one.”
The lady waved her hand, and five strands of energy appeared in the air and merged with Klaus’s forehead.
“However, I can sense there is someone else here with a much greater potential to inherit my legacy as the Supreme Bow Angel, so I will only impart to you my Five Arrows of Condemnation technique.
Be grateful, and if one day you reach the level of my master, I will give you the last two arrows. You can go now, so I can meet my first and only disciple after waiting billions of years.”
Klaus opened his eyes on the outside and let out a sigh. “What an uptight Angel. But if I didn’t know better, I would say she is a god.” Klaus shuddered at the thought that he had just met a supreme being and even inherited an incomplete technique from her.
“Suck it, heavens. Who said a Paragon is the most unlucky person in existence?”
Klaus exuded an aura of defiance that spread through the space, filling it with hundreds of hums. It was only at this moment that Klaus noticed, aside from the lady, thousands of statues of different Angels people around.
He spread his senses to count how many, but Klaus immediately withdrew them and coughed a mouthful of blood.
“Definitely not doing that ever again.” However, a smile was playing on Klaus’s face as he walked closer to a monument he discovered through his senses.
It was bland in all aspects, but there was writing on it.
“If you are reading this, it means you tried to scan the 4007 Primal Angels and that caused you to cough up a mouthful of blood. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.
However, every last statue is a powerhouse, and each offers two opportunities to those who are worthy. If you are unworthy, they might give you a technique or an incomplete one. But if worthy, they will take you in as their disciple.
That said, you are beyond them, Paragon, so don’t stoop so low or become greedy. Find the other six collections and let your subordinates try their luck. Maybe, and just maybe, a few of them will gain their inheritances.”
Klaus chuckled after reading the text. He didn’t know if this was what fortuitous encounters felt like, but at the moment, he could see a new dawn rising, and it looked darn promising.
Klaus walked away from the statues. “So there are six other places like this, huh. Just who was the original owner of this place?”
Klaus couldn’t help but wonder. Then he smiled, “If my people can gain even incomplete techniques from these angels, who is to say they wouldn’t become terrors in the universe?”
As someone who didn’t need to sit and learn a technique, Klaus could sense in his current state that he could only use the first ‘Arrow of Condemnation’, and even then, only 40% of its true power could be harnessed by him.
“I am cut off from the heavens in here, meaning whatever happens here will be outside their expectation. This is good.” Klaus made a grabbing gesture and looked at the horizon.
He moved several km away from the statues and snapped his finger. A portal appeared, and his ladies, along with his friends and all those who entered the dungeon with him, appeared.
“Klaus,” his ladies ran toward him.
“Are you alright?” Queenie asked, examining Klaus’s body to see if he was hurt in any way.
Klaus just smiled and responded, “I am fine.” However, he paused and took a step back, examining everyone standing before him. A few seconds later, Klaus raised his brow.
“What happened to you all? It feels like I am looking at immortals.”
Asha smirked and raised her chin, looking smugly at Klaus. “Big Sister Eleven said we shouldn’t say anything, so don’t expect us to say anything.”
“Oh, so you met her, huh. I figured.” Klaus was clearly taken aback, looking at everyone before him. A few minutes ago, they were powerful, but not with the soul strength they carried now.
After drinking the special tea from Eleven, the same woman who met Klaus, they were now exuding auras that made them look and feel different.
“Everyone, welcome to the Tomb of the Fallen Star Demon Primordial.”
They all began to look around.
“This place is, like I said before, a treasure trove waiting for you to claim what you can carry. Four kilometers away from me is a field featuring 4007 statues of angels.
There are two possibilities: either you become their disciples or you gain a powerful technique. Either way, there are thousands of them, and based on your weapon choice or whatever feeling you gain toward a statue, you can try your luck.
However, after you gain a technique from them or become their disciple, you wouldn’t be able to resonate with the remaining statues.
But don’t worry, if you are not meant to meet them, they won’t call you. There are other places like this. I will send you the locations when I discover them.”
They nod.
Klaus turned to Hanna and smiled. “There is an uptight bow, Angel lady waiting for you. She seems to have a liking for you, so better hurry before she unleashes her frustration on me.
And please, tell her if she can at least add the last two arrows to the ones she gave me since I happen to be your husband.”
Klaus wasn’t even done speaking when a powerful energy latched onto Hanna’s body and pulled her away, causing her sisters to become startled.
“She will be fine.”
They nodded and then turned toward the direction of the statues. “Asha, you can bring your warriors in batches to also try their luck. But try yours first, and when you are done, let me know.”
Klaus then turned to Vida and the Zhou twins. “Do you ladies want to become dragons?”
The question sounded like a joke, but they all sensed Klaus was deadly serious.
Instinctively, they nodded. “Wonderful.” Klaus was overjoyed the moment he saw the three ladies.
The second key that Lady Eleven gave him released three strands of energy, which merged with the three ladies the moment he summoned them over.
Right now, he needed strength, and having three more dragons on his side was good.
“Kilian, you also cannot try your luck there since there is an inheritance waiting for you.” Kilian nodded with a smile. He can already sense something tyrannical calling to him.
However, he wasn’t the only one.
“I can feel that statue calling to me,” Danny said, pointing at a statue of a giant holding an axe on his shoulder.
Klaus looked at the statue and smiled. “Knock yourself out. And please don’t use your senses to scan them. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to find out.”
“That said, you all can go try your luck.” Klaus led Kilian, Vida, Ling, and Zing away.
