Chapter 763 - Klausʼ Famous Strategy

”Itʼs my turn, wish me luck.” Klaus stood up and walked over to the platform.

The others didnʼt even get the time to wish him luck before he left the seating area. They could tell he was very serious with this battle. If he loses, then he would be annoyed with himself. He wanted this ranking to end the same way the Mid stages rankings did, with two friends taking first and second place.

Alice and Reynolds had already done it, so why couldnʼt they do it. It was already almost certain that Grey would take the first place, while Klaus had to fight very hard if he wanted to get the second spot since there would be people who wanted to snatch that position from him.

Klaus stood on the platform and looked ahead of him as the young lady who was his opponent slowly walked into the platform. Compared to his usual carefree expression, everyone could sense the seriousness in his eyes. He had to win this.

”Youʼre not my opponent.” The young lady said when she stood in front of Klaus.

”Havenʼt you heard that you shouldnʼt talk too much before a fight? Talk only after you win, then, your words would be valid.” Klaus replied casually.

”I agree. I will say these words to you again, after I win.” The young lady nodded in agreement with Klausʼ words.

”Youʼre still talking too much.” Klaus shook his head, before adding, ”Well, since youʼve already started it, I guess I should join in as well. I will repeat your words to you, after youʼre on the ground, defeated by me.”

The young lady wanted to continue speaking, but Klaus interrupted her because the man in charge of the platform was already waiting to start the battle.

The young lady was a little annoyed by this.

After confirming if both participants were ready, the man called for the start of the battle.

”I already won the first round, and I will also win this round.” Klaus said when the young lady was about to attack.

The young lady froze, taken aback by Klausʼ words, ”Which first round?”

”Oh, the talking phase. I won that easily, Iʼm going to do the same in the fighting phase as well.” Klaus said as he retreated a few steps away from the advancing young lady.

”Is that…” The young lady wanted to speak but was interrupted by Klaus once again.

”Fight, donʼt tell me you fight with your mouth.” Klaus said snarkily.

The young lady was annoyed by Klausʼ words because Klaus was the one who was fighting with words, not her, yet he was accusing her of doing it.

”Youʼre the one…” She wanted to speak, but Klaus interrupted her once again.

”I win again. Just give up, youʼre not my opponent.” Klaus snickered.

The young lady was fuming! Everyone could see her eyes turning red from anger.

Boom!

She exploded out with a powerful attack. She was a Darkness Elementalist.

”Ah!” Klaus screamed and ran away from the attack range.

He made a water armor that covered his body. He didnʼt turn it to ice since he wanted it to be flexible.

The young lady had lost all reasoning and only wanted to get her hands on Klaus. Klaus on the other hand was keeping a good distance from her.

Darkness Elementalists werenʼt the fastest, but their attacks packed a powerful punch. If Klaus was hit by any of the attacks flying his way, then things would become very hard for him.

While Klaus was running away from the young ladyʼs attacks, he felt his hair standing on edge.

”Eh?” He exclaimed softly in confusion, when he turned around, his eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

A large array was on his back, and it was already about to release a powerful attack.

”Oh crap!” Klaus was covered by a large black light.

The audience were stunned by this. They all thought the young lady was attacking in a fit of rage, never did they think that she was actually plotting something. Klaus mightʼve successfully angered her, but she didnʼt let her emotions cloud her judgment.

Grey and his group looked at the black light, a little startled by the turn of events.

A blue light shone in the black light and a large dark blue ice spread out of the black light.

Klausʼ figure was seen inside the ice. The ice managed to block the array, stopping it from attacking as it spread across the platform.

The young lady attacked the ice coming her way. While dodging to the side.

She had already seen how powerful this ice of Klaus was, so she didnʼt dare to let it touch her.

Klaus popped his head out of the safety of the ice and looked around, ”Damn! Did you plan to kill me or something?!”

The young lady refused to reply and charged at him, destroying the ice on her path.

”I know you have a crush on me, but I donʼt accept ladies like you. Youʼre almost like Reynolds, and heʼs a boy.” Klaus said before hiding inside the safety of his ice once again.

The young lady hearing Klaus comparing her to a boy felt even irritated. This was even more annoying than when Klaus said she had a crush on him.

Klaus on the other hand didnʼt let the young lady have her way. But the corrosiveness of the darkness element was not something to be taken lightly.

Even with the upgrade from the heavy water, the darkness elemental attacks are still managing to find a way to break through the defense. If not for the fact that the young lady couldnʼt focus fully on attacking since Klaus was also attacking her, she wouldʼve been able to break through the ice by now.

Grey and his friends chuckled as they saw Klaus irritating the young lady. This had been one of Klausʼ strategies for a long time, whenever his opponent was stronger than he was, he would find a way to irritate them until they attacked carelessly.

The young lady almost fell for it the first time, but she was smart and used it against Klaus.

However, with the level of Klausʼ foul mouth, it was only a matter of time before she lost all reasoning.
