Chapter 234 Breaking Dawn

The earthquake struck with a powerful tremor, but Klaus remained calm. He gently laid the golden-haired elf woman's lifeless body on the floor. Then, he accessed his spatial ring and retrieved a knife and a small bottle.

However, as he was about to draw the knife across her skin, he felt a faint pulse in her wrist. It was a sign of life, and Klaus couldn't hide his surprise. Narrowing his eyes, he gazed curiously at the true High Queen's face.

Klaus realized he was being played. Instead of getting angry, he chuckled. He rolled his eyes at the decaying body of Lauriel, "Damn, even in death, you still leave behind deceit."

The earthquake intensified, and Klaus couldn't linger in this place. He lifted the weakened High Queen's body and quickly left the room.

...

The entire crew panicked as they felt the powerful tremors and saw trees toppling around them. Justin clenched his teeth with worry in the worsening situation. He immediately began counting all the crew members to ensure no one was left behind. However, when his count was complete, he realized one person was missing.

"Where's Klaus?" Justin asked, his voice filled with concern.

Michael responded hastily, "I don't know. He wasn't with you? You are the who close to him."

Justin shook his head. He hadn't seen Klaus since dinner the night before.

"You all go. I'll find him," Sylvia offered to search for Klaus.

"No, you don't," Akio objected. "Klaus is the last person you need to worry about. I'm sure he'll be fine. For now, we need to escape this shitty place."

"No, I don't want to leave," Joanna quickly rejected the idea. She refused to leave without her brother.nOvelB1n

But Sylvia tried to reassure the girl. "Joanna, we must leave this forest immediately. I'm sure Klaus will be fine. You know how strong your brother is, right?"

Nodding, Joanna finally agreed to leave the forest.

After hearing all their crew members' opinions, Justin made a decision, "We'll go. I'm sure Klaus will be okay."

Following this brief discussion, Justin and the crew quickly left the village. They ran urgently on the trembling ground. At the same time, they saw the elven villagers fleeing the earthquake.

The long-eared creatures swiftly avoided the falling trees. Tangled branches and giant trunks obstructed their path, but they easily evaded them, jumping, swinging, and maneuvering through the obstacles.

Meanwhile, Justin and his crew struggled to save themselves. The fighters and tanks moved quickly, causing the casters and healers to struggle to keep up with the pace of the group.

"Honestly, I thought you were dead," Akio said. Tension still showed on his face.

"I was worried not to see you again," Sylvia expressed her concern.

Justin gave a weak smile. "We're okay. Thanks to them."

He introduced his crew members to the elves who had saved him and the rest, but these long-eared beings only nodded and simply left them.

"Well, their homes are destroyed."

Gavin's words made an impact on the crew members. Just like Justin, they were aware that they might be the cause of the powerful earthquake. They all read the notifications on their smartlinks. They assumed that the alpha's death was the cause of this earthquake.

However, at the same time, there was still one mystery that remained unsolved.

"Who do you think defeated Alpha?" Olivia voiced her piece of mind.

"Of course, it's Klaus," Akio answered.

The entire crew was shocked when they heard this.

"What's with your faces?" Akio continued. "Come on, this isn't the first time. How many times have we raided dungeons, but it was conquered before we met the Alpha?"

Upon hearing his statement, the crew members lowered their heads. They didn't know how to respond to this situation. They knew that Klaus had tremendous power but had never seen it with their own eyes. For them, Klaus was a mystery that they could never solve.

"But where's my brother?" Joanna chimed in. "Did any of you see him?"

The crew members looked at each other. Their expressions said that they had no idea about Klaus's whereabouts. None of them could tell.

lightsnοvεl Getting no response, Joanna began to worry. Sylvia immediately hugged the girl, trying to comfort her.

"Oh, so you all made it through?"

In the midst of the somber atmosphere, a sudden voice diverted their attention. The crew members rolled their eyes toward the sound and were left in shock.

Klaus appeared, carrying a golden-haired elf woman in his arms.
