Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1488 The Ultimate Ice User II

The Faction Leader watched as Klaus was in the final stages of his breakthrough. The temperature around the Faction had dropped even further down, showing the signs of the tremendous impact of Klausʼ breakthrough.

In the place Klaus was breaking through, the expressions of the three ladies present soon changed a little. The Faction Leaderʼs mouth twitched softly as she saw something that shouldnʼt be happening.

”Is… that supposed to happen?” One of them ladies asked with a soft voice, trying to make sure she didnʼt interrupt Klausʼ breakthrough.

The Faction Leader sighed and shook her head, ”Heʼs doing it himself.”

She has been around Klaus for a few years now and it could be said she knew a little about his antics, and seeing what heʼs doing at the moment, she knew for a fact that Klaus was doing it on his own.

Klaus was currently floating mid-air, his hair white, eyes glowing, and a majestic long robe made entirely from ice was fluttering in the wind behind him. He made himself a robe befitting of a king as he was breaking through.

The two ladies didnʼt know what to think about Klaus. He is the greatest genius the Faction had ever seen when it came to life ice abilities. This was one of the reasons he was taken in, and also the fact that he went on to learn the hardest ice techniques with ease.

It was as if Klaus was born to be the ultimate ice user, and seeing what is happening as he is breaking through, they confirmed their guesses, Klaus truly is on course to become the best ice user the Faction will ever produce.

The robe was long and Klausʼ figure soon started to descend. It was as if a king appeared before them. He gave them the feeling of a sovereign, not just in his cultivation, but a true sovereign reigning over them.

”Itʼs enough, we get it.”

A young ladyʼs voice sounded from behind the Faction Leader and the two ladies. It was one of the top talents in the Faction. She was the number one person before the arrival of Klaus. She couldnʼt say she hated Klaus for taking her spot, but she didnʼt have a good impression of him due to it.

When her eyes trailed to the once magnificent block of ice that had been reduced to barely the size of a human head, she almost went red from rage.

”What happened to the Sacred Ice?” She asked one of the ladies.

They might be older, but just like Klaus, she had a high status in the Faction and could question them.

”He absorbed it during his breakthrough.” One of them answered.

”He what?!” The young lady couldnʼt believe her ears.

”Itʼs only right I used it while breaking through. A little sacrifice the Faction has to pay.” Klaus was in high spirits, and rightly so. He just broke through to the Sovereign Plane and was in a great mood. He could tell that his ice ability has shot up thanks to him absorbing this ice.

”You greedy, self-centered, ab…”

”Enough!” The Faction Leader stopped the young lady, ”The Sacred Ice was on the verge of melting off. Thereʼs no need arguing over it.”

”But…”

”Itʼs fine. We can get another one.” The Faction Leader said.

Klaus grinned as he looked at the young lady with proud eyes, the snow-made robe was still on him and his hair had reverted back to its usual color.

”You see, we can get another.” He strode forward as he spoke, on the verge of walking out of the place.

The Faction Leaderʼs next statement made him freeze in place. Like shattered ice, Klaus felt his heart break.

”Klaus will get us another one.”

”I think thereʼs a mix-up somewhere.” Klaus turned around and asked, ”Iʼll do what?”

”You will get us another ice, just like this one. Or else, Iʼll make sure you cough up every single ice essence you took from it.” The Faction Leader wore a dazzling smile as she spoke.

The face of the young lady lit up when she heard this. The Sacred Ice was indeed obtainable, but it was in a very dangerous place, and few Water Elementalists can get close to it without freezing up. An array was placed in the Faction that helps reduce the freezing effects of the ice, giving them the opportunity to cultivate in it.

”I could kill myself. I mean, thereʼs no difference between the two right now.” Klaus felt like crying. That was a death sentence, well, at least that is how he saw it.

”Youʼll be fine. I wouldnʼt want to kill my precious student.” The Faction Leader laughed and disappeared.

”Fuck!” Klaus was visibly upset and the temperature around the place dropped even lower.

Even for these people that were part of a Faction that focuses on ice, they felt a cold in their spine.

The eyes of the young lady dilated when she sensed this. She had always known she was not on the same level as Klaus when it came to pure ice abilities, but experiencing this solidified it.

Klaus stormed off, heading straight for the exit of the Faction. His intentions were simple; Run!

He didnʼt mask it and headed straight for the gates.

The young lady rushed to report to the Faction Leader, but she was fine with Klaus leaving. She knew for a fact that Klaus would definitely return, so there was no point in chasing him.

….

Some kilometers away from the Moonlight Faction.

Klaus looked around in a City, after confirming he wasnʼt being followed, he heaved a sigh of relief.

ʼIʼve always known she doesnʼt like me.ʼ He thought to himself before disappearing into the crowded street.

Due to the way Klaus broke through, news of it soon started to travel across the Continent. Making the temperature of the entire Faction drop was a stunning feat.

Klausʼ fame started to spread, while Klaus himself was making the most of it.
