"Well, that was anticlimactic," one of the immortal lords in the SSS-class spaceships said, looking at the space folding with Blood Shadow trapped within it.
His na is Banabas, the patriarch of Banabas dia Corporation. He ca to this battle with only one goal: to broadcast the death of the rising star hunter called the Renegade Hunter.
However, what he saw left him both disappointed and stunned. And so were the two other Immortal Lords, who also ca with their own agenda and motives.
"I at least expected Blood Shadow to have killed this brat within the first three exchanges, but now, it seems he had bought himself so ti to recuperate."
"It seems this Renegade Hunter is no simple brat at all. To think he had even mastered Space Law to this extent. Makes wonder who is backing him," Immortal Lord Jas also said, narrowing his gaze at Klaus.
He is the leader of the Blue Sky rcenary Team. Just like any rcenary family, he takes on any mission as long as the price is good enough.
He ca this ti to see if he could rescue Klaus and use that as a ans to pull him into his team. However, what he has seen in the last few minutes and is seeing now tells him Klaus might not be as simple as he looks.
"Looks like Blood Shadow has landed herself in a deep humiliation this ti. Even if she sohow manages to kill this brat, she would be laughed at by all," Immortal Lord Phobas also added his voice, reclining comfortably in a chair inside his spaceship.
Unlike Immortal Lord Jas and Banabas, he had no family or team to his na. He is a rogue warrior who enjoys seeking out the most enjoyable experiences.
When he was called by Immortal Lord Jas and Banabas to co witness an execution, he dropped everything and ca running. Now, he is glad he ca.
He is a good swordsman and a legendary figure in the Milky Way galaxy. But even he was impressed by Klaus's battle power and competence.
"She would be looked down on by many of our peers for sure," Immortal Lord Banabas said, already getting feedback from the viewers he was broadcasting to.
The video he is streaming offers only exclusive access, which costs one billion Heavens Crystals. Only the rich are watching. He would only make it open to all when the battle is over.
But even so, billions are watching, and the feedback he is getting keeps making him laugh. To him, this is all just business, just as it is all fun for Immortal Lord Phobas.
But Blood Shadow isn't having fun at all.
Inside the space lock, her body is covered in black flas, shadows coiling around her.
'How did I land myself in this trap?' she said inwardly, looking for a way out.
This isn't her first ti getting trapped inside a space lock.
She had faced many warriors with a much more advanced mastery of the Space Law than Klaus and broke through all.
In most cases, she even manages to see the Space Law coming from a mile away, allowing her to dodge before getting trapped. But even if she gets trapped, she always finds a way out.
However, she didn't see Klaus coming at all. In fact, before she registered what he was doing, she had already found herself locked down.
"Did I underestimate him?" she questioned.
Klaus is a mortal, and so while at the Empyrean stage, many prodigies awaken their Law affinity and begin their mastery, it is impossible to have that much understanding and Law essence to pull off a space lock of such a magnitude.
Klaus even went ahead and unleashed a Space folding attack first, sothing many find difficult and taxing, before even unleashing the space lock.
So, in a way, she had indeed underestimated Klaus, and now she found herself locked down, giving Klaus enough ti to recover.
"Damnit." She gritted her teeth and slowly started looking for a way out.
Soon, however, she saw that things weren't as simple as they seed to be.
"The folding is the issue here. I can't solve the space lock while space keeps folding. If I try to brute-force my way out of here, who knows where I would end up."
Space Law is complex. Just like how a small shift in the Void can send one several billion miles away, Space Law behaves the sa.
A slight mistake, and she would find herself in a completely different place. So she realised that, and decided to examine the folding so more and see if she could break that first.
Once that is done, she can focus on the main task: the space lock. Klaus didn't activate these three space attacks out of desperation. He calculated and saw that his odds are much better with them.
It would buy him the ti he needed to recover.
A few seconds later, Blood Shadow also realised the bitter truth.
"Damnit, just what did this bastard use to create the law? Why is it so complex?"
She realised she could not solve the folding or break the lock simply because she had no idea what kind of runes law was created from. The runic inscriptions are just too complex.
This ans she can only wait for the folding to deactivate on its own and the lock to break. Naturally, it takes ti, but because Klaus has run out of essence, it will break soon.
If he had more essence, perhaps he could have kept her locked down for a while. But she, in a way, was lucky.
So, like Klaus, this gave her so ti to think of all the ways she would hurt him when she broke free.
anwhile, Klaus was working at full speed to figure out how to handle the next 20 minutes. His gaze never left the space lock. He was aware that the mont it ca undone, she would go for the kill.
But he also has enough ti to make adequate plans.
"Icon, what do you think? Should I use the Undying Immortal Art now? Also, how much life force do I have?"
[The master has 3.6 billion years left to live. However, if he were to use the Undying Immortal Art, he would be dead within 10 minutes.
But, as to whether now is the best ti to use it, I suppose, with all things considered, the master has no choice but to trade life for power.]
"Seems logical too. However, I can't burn my entire life force, so I will try to see if I can use my close combat skills to buy at least two minutes. The last three would co from my life force."
[But the master would still have 15 more minutes to go, and in case the master is not aware, Blood Shadow hadn't used her Shadow & Fla Law yet.]
"One step at a ti, Tower. We have to stall for ti, and hopefully, rescue would co soon."
Klaus took a deep sigh, ready for the second phase of the battle.
Minutes went by, and in no ti, the folding stopped and the space lock cracked. Klaus stood up and rested Bloodwork on his shoulder.
"Bring it on."
