Klaus stared at the hunter, who was looking back at him, and for a moment, the thought of killing it appeared. But then he calmed down and spoke.
"This isn't over."
He stabbed the staff into the ground, and the void cracked open.
"A day is coming when you will cry tears of blood. Rejoice, for you have won today. But there won't be a next time." A powerful kick landed on the face of the hunter, sending it flying into the void.
"There won't be a next time."
He stabbed the staff into the ground, and the void shut closed.
The moment it closed, he turned and looked to his left. After a moment, he turned away and let go of the staff.
The moment he did, his appearance changed back to normal. He felt the strain at once, which instantly made him look pale.
"Senior, how much is gone?" Klaus asked.
[Almost everything, brat. You have eight months more to live if you don't break through into the Sovereign stage and restore your Life Force."
Klaus sighed.
