As soon as Klaus re-entered his soul sea, he was greeted by the sight of a terrifying red eye with red runes spinning around it. The moment his gaze met the red eye, his vision blurred for a few moments before he regained clarity.
"What the fuck was that?" Klaus muttered, shaking his head.
"Seriously, why can't anything in my soul sea show some care and gentleness when they're trying to bless me with something?" Although he complained, a small smile tugged at his lips.
The blackout he had just experienced wasn't a bad thing—in fact, it was good. He had received a technique from the red eye, and judging by its nature, it was exactly what he desperately needed.
During the battle with the zombies, Klaus used the Eye of Despair along with his Eye of Malevolence to launch a soul attack that killed a Zombie Prince.
But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. The attack was powerful, but he paid a steep price for it. The severe headache and soul strain were the consequences he had to endure for using the Eye.
The senior had already warned him not to use the Eye of Malevolence in that way until he reached the level of a Saint. Despite his vast soul sea, he still wasn't strong enough to handle powerful soul attacks through his eye.
The strain would be too much for him, and Klaus knew that. But in such a terrifying battle, where the odds were against him, he couldn't just sit back and not put everything on the line. He had to push hard, and luckily, he managed to win this time.
However, Klaus knew he wouldn't make the same mistake again. Using the Eye of Malevolence like that was reckless. Now, he needed to prioritize, and the Eye of Malevolence had given him a new path forward. He no longer had to rely on the Eye of Despair every time he wanted to launch a soul attack with his Eye of Malevolence.
Aside from being able to see all around him without even opening his eyes, he now had a way to deliver a soul attack that would benefit him in the long run. Yes, he had received a technique, but it wasn't what most would think.
The Soul Gaze ability of the Eye of Despair allowed him to deliver a devastating attack instantly upon locking eyes with a target. However, the new technique, called Soul Hook, was different—its name said it all.
All Klaus had to do was use it. Once it landed on the target, it would create a hook that connected his soul to theirs in a one-way link. This link had a single purpose: to steal the soul strength of the target and add it to his own.
He maintained a connection with the weapons throughout the battle, but his control was limited. He couldn't fully influence weapons held by others—like stopping them from being used or destroying them.
He still didn't have the strength to destroy such weapons, but now, his control over changing their direction had improved. He could alter the trajectory of a weapon and even slow it down to reduce its impact.
In the final moments of his battle with the Blood Queen, when he was caught in her trap, her sword was aimed at his heart. At the last second, Klaus used every ounce of his soul and mental strength to change the sword's path. Although it was a small adjustment, it missed his heart by a fraction, only cutting a small part of it.
If it weren't for that last-minute advantage, he would have died. However, with this new advantage and control over weapons, he could now prevent accidentally falling into traps.
As a Weapons Overlord, he is very sensitive to weapons. Whenever a weapon is drawn, he immediately notices which one is more dangerous to him. It's even better than tracking someone's movements. All he has to do is be within the 10 km, and if a weapon is drawn nearby, he will sense it.
He doesn't know much about his Weapons Overlord class since it didn't come with a manual. But he knew he would soon see its effects as he grew stronger.
This aspect of his class is overpowered. Klaus understands that as he gets stronger, his control over weapons will also improve. He can't help but imagine how cool it would be to kill people with the weapons they are holding.
"Now, that is something to look forward to," he muttered before turning to the last thing that appeared in his soul sea.
"Senior, what is that?" Klaus asked, looking at a red mark or more like a rune large enough to fill an entire bus, exuding a bloodthirsty aura. Just looking at it made Klaus want to run off from his own soul sea. The rune is red and all around it, a red arcane form of energy keeps swirling around it.
That portion of his soul looks like a slaughterhouse, exuding a very potent bloodthirsty aura that Klaus just couldn't handle lightly.
The senior voice echoed as he replied
"That is a seal... it's the Seal of Slaughter."
