Klaus fell in style after these maneuvers and looked at his hands; they were blue from the blood, but he was trying to see sothing else.
'The cursed energy... It's amazing.' He thought, smiling a little.
After that, he looked up to see the dead beast, but he was t with a glowing system ssage before he could see it.
[Congratulations, you are delving into understanding cursed energy. Your ability has beco more versatile. Thanks to that, you are now One Step Closer]

Klaus read it several tis to confirm that he was reading it right and even opened his skill to see it. Naturally, it wasn't referring to his Scientist's Madness or the Great Attractor, much less the body. It was referring to his strange ability: Little Incarnation.
Ever since he saw it, he has been asking himself, 'What does he an by Little Incarnation? And why does it bear the na 'Incarnation'? The incarnation of what or who?' Unfortunately, he hasn't found the answers to his questions.
Still, since he got it, he feels that he just needs to advance his understanding and use the cursed energy to understand it. The thing is, he doesn't have a teacher for this because it is personal to him.
He feels that neither Jasmine nor Klein can teach him because it is, after all, a different skill. So, he needs to keep trying to figure it out.
Lately, he has felt that he will be able to do it soon, but he doesn't know where that feeling cos from.
'Good, this gives versatility.' Klaus thought. That new part of the skill expanded it differently, which was good, as he knew that he had been strengthening his skill a lot, solely because it was flawed.
That ant that capable, the actual skill didn't 'strengthen' him enormously, hamstringing him in various parts, but was more comprehensive. At least, that's what he had hoped.
But there was no ti to think about that right now; he decided to look at the cursed beast before him after verifying his skill.
The head had been completely destroyed, but the flesh was naturally still there.
He moved towards a part of the body and tried to drive the knife hard into it.
Naturally, he was unable to do so. Although it was dead, its non-Newtonian fluid property was still there, preventing him from doing so.
By not applying pressure, he realized that the at was a bit softer than normal at, so the knife could dig in a bit, encountering tightness at certain tis but getting in without much trouble.
Klaus nodded. There wasn't much change, except that the blood seed to be important in keeping this body as it was.
When it died, the blood didn't gather in one place; in fact, it was still there as if it hadn't died. It didn't run; it just sat there, still.
However, when he did the test of removing so of the blood from a specific body area and touching the at again, he noticed that the viscosity decreased.
'The blood is extrely cold for a blood, which helps maintain viscosity and forms the flesh, perhaps allowing it to function. But, when you remove the blood from an area, while you still feel it a little bit, it's easier to put pressure on.'
After running several more tests, he concluded that blood and its eye were important parts of this beast.
'As far as I can see, much of the blood was passing through its third eye. No wonder it beca so vulnerable when I destroyed it. Perhaps that eye was also a part of his heart. What strange beasts.' He thought and stowed the huge body of the beast in his inventory, grabbing only a part of it to take back to the organization.
Still, just as he was about to leave, an unusual movent behind him attracted his attention.
He felt as if a shadow was passing by at high speed, making him frown.
'Is there anyone nearby?' He thought and looked at the surroundings. At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything, but when he tried to feel the sa cursed energy, he could notice sothing strange.
'There is sothing.' He thought. It wasn't soone; it seed to be sothing. 'A cursed beast.' He lowered his gaze to the ground and looked down to where the blood of the beast he had just killed should be scattered.
Just then, he saw a shadow moving at great speed across the ground. The blood that should have been there was no longer there, and the shadow moved at great speed to a different location.
Klaus traced the trajectory with his eyes and quickly jumped towards that place, but when he arrived, the shadow simply disappeared underneath a duct where the rain water goes.
'This should lead to the subway areas of the city, shouldn't it?' He thought and grabbed whatever was covering the hole, pulled it out, and then looked to see if he could get in.
Still, he couldn't. The hole underneath was too narrow to get in.
But when he pulled it out, he noticed that these little things seed to have cursed energy insulators. 'Is it so they don't birth cursed energy inside them?' he thought and frowned.
'It backfired on them, that planning.' Now that he could feel what was on the other side of this duct, he felt a strong, cursed energy down there.
'Such a dense amount, naturally, it must have cursed beasts in there.' He frowned. 'And from what I just saw, they must be quite intelligent.' Experience tales at empire
As much as he wanted to go down to investigate, he knew he couldn't do it around here. He needed to find a place where he could get in. Even though it would be dangerous, it made him curious.
So, after investigating a bit more, he put back what was plugging the hole and walked away, skipping through the buildings as he headed toward his next mission.
He was to complete several missions today because he needed money. These missions were among the most complicated that could be solved by a single person. The first of them accomplished his task.
Now, his question was whether he could find more similar beasts or if he would find a place to investigate what was going on underneath the city.
