Chapter 948: The Lost Kingdom

“So you suspected me all this while, but didn’t say anything?” Princess Eshira asked, looking at Klaus.

The paragon nodded with a smile.

Through their conversations, Klaus told her that he had known she was a spy for months. Hearing she was made shook her, for as far as she could remember, her disguise abilities were top-notch.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Because I didn’t see any threat from you. Trust me, if I had seen or sensed even a minute threat from you, I would have choked the life out of you before you could blink.”

Princess Eshira and her mother could only smile.

They had only interacted with Klaus for a few minutes, but could already tell he was free, easygoing, and terrifying.

To be able to see through Princess Eshira’s disguise was something nobody expected to happen.

When it came to disguise, Princess Eshira was the best of them all. She could blend in, gain trust, and achieve her goals without a hitch. In a way, she was the perfect spy, and every high-ranking member in her race knew that.

So for Klaus to have made her out long before she even completed her missions told them a lot.

Klaus was a monster, and they were aware now.

The queen, who had heard her daughter’s worry when the elders planned to take over the Earth, could now see where she was coming from.

Going against the brat was the last thing they wanted to do.

Klaus could see the resolve in their eyes, and all he could do was smile. Then he turned to his left and spoke.

“I am not a monster, mister. But even if I am, I can kill your queen and princess before you could lift a finger, so stop hiding. You are not fooling me or anyone.”

The queen and her daughter looked at Klaus with puzzled expressions, unsure of who he was talking to. However, the next second, when General Sahran appeared out of thin air, the answer revealed itself.

“My queen. Princess,” the general, with a shocked expression, bowed to the queen and princess.

“General Sahran, what are you doing here?” the princess asked.

“The king was worried when you and the queen left, so I came to ensure you are well.”

Both the queen and princess could only shake their heads and smile.

Of course, they understood his intentions, and the mere fact that it had been over two weeks, yet they didn’t sense his presence was a clear sign that he indeed came to ensure their safety and not to interfere in the business.

But then again, did they truly need his protection?

Queen Nayiri was already at the Level 7 Chaos Stage, someone with considerable power.

The princess, however, had not yet reached the chaos stage, mainly because she had suppressed her cultivation base all these years while undercover.

If she had actively cultivated, she would have long surpassed the Chaos Stage.

However, she was now at the Void Stage, and that alone was enough for her to move freely among the humans.

But then again, considering Klaus had just exposed someone even a Chaos Stage warrior couldn’t sense, it was clear that his presence was also justified.

If there was another Klaus, but a bad one, he would be required to come to their aid, for in the Bast Kingdom, General Sahran was one of the strongest ones, someone already at the Peak of the Chaos Stage.

“You can go back, Sahran. We are fine, as you can see,” Queen Nayiri said, smiling at the general.

He nodded and, after casting a sidelong glance at Klaus, he left.

However, he wasn’t going back to Zanbathu; he would hang around and see what else the humans were hiding. This way, he would know what needed to be done once he returned to his people.

“Sorry about that,” Queen Nayiri said.

“Don’t worry about it. It was only natural for your king to worry about your safety. To assure you, I have no plans to harm any of you, so you can relax.”

“We understand.”

“Very well. Now, why don’t we talk about the main reason you are here?”

Queen Nayiri nodded and started to speak. “We came here because of the Grand Arcane Formation. Many years ago, we found out that the place you call the Bermuda Triangle is actually a giant formation, one said to have trapped the ancient race from coming back after the fall.”

Klaus raised his brow, making Queen Nayiri smile. “The ancient race is what you people call the lost kingdom. It was originally part of the water race; however, they broke off several years ago after their king rebelled against the water people.

The history books of the water race didn’t record them, and over time, the water people forgot about them. I am sure not a single one of them knows of the conquest and betrayal of King Kordax.

Not that one can blame them. Atlantis, or as they call themselves now, the water race, was doomed from the start when they lost the trident during the Great War.

But unlike them, the lost kingdom still possesses their trident and has been plotting their revenge for years now.”

At this point, Klaus was paying close attention, already asking himself many questions. However, he wanted to know more before making a decision.

“There is only one way back for them, and that is the Bermuda Triangle. We don’t know who set it up, but we know it’s breaking, and in less than three weeks, it will completely break, opening the only door for the ancient race to escape.

Now, I grew up seeing the best in people, but I can’t say the same for the lost kingdom. They aren’t peaceful… they are savages.

Therefore, we must prepare and fight. Whether you like it or not, the formation will break, and there is only one outcome.

All humans must unite, fight, and protect the Earth from those who would harm it. My side is ready for war; your side must also be ready to fight.”

Klaus nodded, already aware that sooner rather than later, the true dangers would manifest.

’I suppose this is a much better outcome than I expected. If this happens now, the chances of the heavens using them to add more fuel to the fire during the awakening will be taken care of.’

That was a much better outcome than Klaus could ever have thought.

’Skar already said they are almost done with their mission, and most of the beast army has also evolved.

That is good. At least with the upgrade to the Multi-dimensional Cube, the tribulation can be had inside, provided they are part of my beast army.

This will hasten things for me.’

Klaus looked at Princess Eshira and smiled. An image of Magnus’s second wife, Lene, appeared in his mind. They looked the same, and the smile tugging her lips only made Klaus’s heartstrings tug.

“My side will also be ready by the time the formation finally breaks down.”

The queen nodded.

The conversation continued for a few more hours before they concluded and departed.

Now that they had completed their mission, the queen wanted to learn more about her daughter’s life among humans, and Klaus also had business to attend to.

A week later, all the ladies Klaus had brought to the vacation had officially become his women. When all that was done, they left the hotel they were staying in, as the resort had been destroyed.

The ladies would spend three days enhancing their strength using his blood, while Klaus, on the other hand, dove into the sea to hunt down the beasts hidden beneath.
