Chapter 1299: Immortal Ring
The immortal ring hovering before Klaus used to belong to a Bloodfiend-type beast, so it is perfectly understandable that it is red and oozing with blood qi.
It is circular, with its surface etched with glowing blood-red runes and fractured Roman sigils. It has four circles, each housing a skull-like rune.
To immortals, such a ring would not only come with its own ability when absorbed, but the damage output of their skills would also become several times stronger than one might imagine.
Most say it increases the strength of an immortal by 10%. However, records show some people gain up to a 35% boost from just a single Immortal Ring.
If they have two and they have the body to harness the power of both, then even if five True Immortals face a single True Immortal with two immortal rings, the winner would undoubtedly be the one with double immortal rings.
Aside from that, it also makes it easy to ascend through the ranks of immortality; the more rings one has, the easier it is.
Forming it is hard and expensive. However, inheriting it from a Calamity-type beast is the easiest. They are hard to kill, especially if they have an immortal ring, but when one manages to get their hands on just a single calamity core, they will automatically have an immortal ring.
Even gods wouldn’t dare underestimate Calamity Beasts. So for Klaus to have the core of one is already shocking.
"He isn’t about to absorb it, is he?" Estelle asked, looking at Klaus and the immortal ring. The rest of the guards and Ophelia all kept wondering the same thing.
Klaus is no immortal, so he wouldn’t dare absorb an Immortal Ring. If he dared attempt, his death would be excruciating.
Of course, he could store it for when he needed it, but that would be a waste since the longer an immortal ring remains unabsorbed, its power diminishes.
Giving it to one of them to absorb is the best move if Klaus wants to. They would have a good use for it.
However, the five Real Immortals have no idea they are about to witness yet another shocking sight.
’Icon, what do you think? Can I absorb an immortal ring?’
[I don’t see a reason why the master can’t. From what I have observed, the master has 9 cores that can be considered immortal cores, so absorbing the immortal ring is possible.
Even better, the immortal ring seems to resonate well with your 3rd and 7th cores. So, since you had awakened your bloodline for the seventh core, I believe you should go for it.]
’That is all I want to hear.’ Klaus smiled and gave the five immortals a sidelong glance before gently reaching for the Immortal Ring.
"What is he doing?" Kaiz, the other male Real Immortal in Ophelia’s guards, asked, watching as Klaus reached for the immortal ring.
"I think he is about to absorb it."
"But how? He is mortal."
"I know that."
Before any of them could process anything, Klaus touched the immortal ring, causing it to shine brighter like the blood red sun.
All five of them closed their eyes, Klaus included.
Klaus appeared inside the soul sea, standing in the river of space. It looked dazzling, almost like a multicolored cosmic sea.
"Damn, this place is now beautiful," Klaus muttered, feeling happy.
After reaching the Level 9 Empyrean stage, it seemed his soul sea had undergone some changes. Now, looking as far as his eyes could take him, all he could see was a vast, stretched, multicolored sea.
It isn’t exactly a river, but also not a cloud. It looks cosmic and ancient yet beautiful. "I will call it Aurora," Klaus laughed, feeling accomplished as he gazed at the vast sea.
Inside Aurora are nine miniature stars or maybe planets, moons, or even suns. They don’t quite resemble any of them, but they also bear a resemblance to all of them.
"I will just refer to them as stars."
Klaus appeared like a god, overlooking all nine stars. He holds the power over all nine stars. So as he looked at them shine bright in the Aurora sea, a feeling of power surged within him.
Suddenly, a red light shot into the Aurora sea, causing Klaus to will himself to appear inside that star. When he did, the most terrifying sight awaited him.
There, under the blood-red sky, hangs a blood-red scythe that Klaus knew all too well. Around it is a blood-red immortal ring oozing with power.
Inside the ring is a large eye, dripping with malice. Even Klaus, who isn’t easily shaken, felt his back break into a cold sweat as he gazed at this sight.
Just looking at it was enough to scare Klaus, and it was real fear, but also buried emotions slowly being awakened within him.
Looking at that massive, elongated crescent blade with a brutal, predatory curve, a skull ornament partially embedded into the blade at the base, a long and twisted handle formed from dark, near-black metal shaped as interwoven veins, and thin spike-like thorns protruding at irregular intervals on the handle, Klaus felt like shedding tears.
Although nobody would remember this scythe in the modern era, considering all who had seen it had died, it was a weapon that had accompanied the paragon of war for ages during his seventh incarnation.
It had claimed the lives of many immortals, demigods, gods, and even a few supremes. Although he had longed to taste celestial blood, that chance never came.
However, the number of immortal and god blood it had consumed rivaled the [Blood Sanguine] sword used by the Asura god.
"Bloodwork," Klaus muttered, and the scythe trembled, releasing a massive amount of blood qi.
"I’ve missed you so much, buddy," Klaus said, extending his hand. Bloodwork trembled slightly, and then he flew and entered Klaus’s firm grip.
A wave of energy burst out from his body...
On the outside, Klaus’s eyes turned red as a wave of blood qi exploded out of his body. The five immortals instantly went pale the moment the energy washed over them.
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, Klaus’s clothes started changing into a living armor designed to fit someone who is about to commit an unholy massacre.
His body was wrapped in dark armor with patches of red. It is a long-sleeved garment that came about from a pair of arm guards that stuck to his arm like skin.
He had a pair of boots that ended in spikes.
On his chest is a red skull oozing with red energy.
Suddenly, Bloodwork materialized in Klaus’s hand, causing the five immortals to tremble again, this time Estelle and Erasmus even passing out.
The sight of the scythe scared them to near death. But that wasn’t even all. Just when the rest were about to ask what happened to him, a red immortal ring appeared around the scythe.
The energy that came out from the immortal ring scared them to the point that they all shut their mouths.
Klaus pretended he didn’t see them. Instead, he took out his phone and took a selfie. He would show it to his wives later. His white hair is tied into a ponytail, a few strands falling on the side of his face.
Well, if having such a gothic look doesn’t make him stand out, then his hair is merely a cosplay. He was supposed to have red hair, but since he had no plan on blowing his cover as a criminal, he maintained his white hair.
[Master, I have spotted a spaceship coming. ETA, 3 minutes.]
’Good. Drop out of warp and let me see what we are dealing with.’
