Chapter 143 The Cursed Field
Some screamed, some roared, but none could defend themselves. And, right behind them, was the item they called 'Cursed Divinity,' the treasure of the beasts.
A few meters further back, the wolf beast seemed to have won its fight, for Carion was in a pool of blood, although this one was still fighting and had wound it in several areas.
Klaus noted this in a single assertive and penetrating glance. He stomped fiercely and jumped once more in the direction of the item. There, too, were those cursed beasts being restored by the item. Hopefully, they wouldn't get up until he stole it.
He jumped at such a high speed that he shocked numerous beasts, and the shadow beast flinched as it noticed his intentions.
"STOP HIM!" It roared, as well as lunging after him.
The nearest beasts immediately roared and rushed at Klaus, but he was too far away for them to reach him so quickly.
In a leap, he came within a few steps of the altar and raised his hand to take the item, but then one of the beasts lying there stood up with a firm roar. It was the beast with the special flesh. This one gave him a piercing, deadly, hate-filled stare at Klaus as if it had a millennial hatred for him and set out to stop his attack, knowing its advantage.

This time, something was in the center of this beast's chest. Blood was gathered there, and so was the energy the item gave off.
Klaus frowned, but he smiled as he looked at what was in its chest. That surely was the source of this thing's vitality, the core.
'Don't think your flesh is too special, you little non-Newtonian fluid.'
He still had ways to kill this thing easily. In a situation like that, Klaus would naturally use the very flesh of the beast against it. Since it thought it was some kind of immensely powerful tank, Klaus would tear down its foolish ideals.
He made as if he was going to give it a mighty blow, but just as his hands pinked the non-Newtonian flesh in front of him, he stopped and totally diminished the energy and power he was using in that attack. That caused that, as he was not exerting force, his hand passed through the flesh, which seemed to have lost some of its attributes, and firmly grabbed what was on his chest.
'I suspected it. It's like a heart.' Klaus didn't hesitate and squeezed it, exploding it in a moment. At the same time, he jumped up and swept the beast towards those behind him and watched as it fell to the ground, dead with a thud.
'Greater effectiveness, better combat presence. Not bad.' Klaus wasted no time and grabbed the item.
"YOU BASTARD, DON'T YOU DARE!" Roared the shadow beast. This one immediately drove all the power in its body into its legs and jumped even more ferociously, closing the distance in one move.
It was so angry that the first thing it thought of was to deliver a fierce blow to Klaus. It was able to deliver it to his face, firmly on one cheek, pushing him fiercely toward where the wolf was.
Even though it was painful, Klaus smiled towards him.
"You're an idiot."
It was there that the shadow beast realized its mistake. But it was too late. The power of the blow carried away Klaus. Although it was too dangerous—it almost knocked him out and even totally disabled his energy field—he didn't care.
He sensed that the wolf-like beast was behind him, so after recovering, still flying backward, he stabbed his knife into the surface of the walls, which created a massive amount of dust and debris flying everywhere. This was an unwise situation as the shadow-like beast was coming towards him.
But it was the only alternative. He immediately turned around and jumped fiercely towards the wolf-like beast again. His active skills at their peak and his inexhaustible stamina made him arrive quickly, just before this beast beat Carion to a pulp.
Immediately, he attacked as many times as he could in a second, making the wolf's blood spurt from all over its body. A howl of pain was heard throughout the room, but the most significant blow was delivered to its neck, trying to kill him all at once, though unsuccessfully.
The pain caused the beast to take a false step, allowing Klaus to get firmly in front of Carion and start fleeing.
But something distracted him.
A few messages from the system.
[Congratulations, Little Incarnation. You have significantly advanced in your understanding of the cursed energy]@@novelbin@@
[Cursed Field begins to show its maw in Little Incarnation's presence. The Cursed Field is your most versatile ability; its versatility is limitless. What can you create there? How much can you accomplish? Whatever your mind desires, you can do it; this is your power].
[You have got a guide on your path, which is your own mind. You are brilliant. The right path is before you; continue thus]
The first two were congratulations and a warning about a Cursed Field, which he immediately realized was the field he had just used. The second message especially looked amazing; somehow, it gave him goosebumps.
But the third message was a bit strange.
It appeared to be a direct message sent by someone.
'Is the system someone? Is someone controlling this? Or is it a God?'
Thinking this distracted him for a moment, so even though he held Carion, he didn't move, which gave the shadow beast enough time to get in front of him.
It didn't plan on making the same mistake as before, so instead of hitting him, it tried to pull him towards it and kill him outright, evidently focusing its efforts on the item still in Klaus' hands.
Seeing that it was going to succeed made it smile.
Klaus came back to his senses then and noticed the attack. In an instinctive move, he pulled Carion back, managing to throw him away. At the same time, he struck with his other hand, the one in which he held the item, which cleared the stampede of power from the beast but also caused them both to impact at that moment.
Or so he thought would happen.
Just millimeters before they impacted, Carion roared.
"Wind Chainsaw!" His roar echoed through time and firmly stopped the shadow beast. But he knew that wouldn't be enough, as that beast had already broken his ability, so he bit his tongue hard.
"Elven Blood! Wind Magic! Wind Blast! Fly, Klaus, quick!" It was several shouts in a row. When he activated his first ability, the blood in his body buzzed fiercely upwards and out of his orifices.
Activating his wind magic sent a powerful blast of wind on all the trapped beasts, especially the shadow beast. Still, that served nothing more than to raise dust, and he knew it.
He understood that, against cursed beasts, so-called magic was useless. It was just cheap tricks. But he didn't want to hurt it. He didn't need to.
Thus, his latest ability made Klaus feel light. He immediately realized he could somehow fly, although he could barely do so.
So he turned and fled at high speed. He grabbed Carion and continued on his way, but the shadow beast was so angry that he didn't hesitate to activate one of his trump cards.
"I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU, YOU DAMN BASTARD!" He gathered a large amount of cursed energy in his hand and fired it, immediately breaking Carion's ability and flying after Klaus at great speed with absurd accuracy.
Klaus had difficulty tracing the trajectory of that ability, as it was too fast. Therefore, he immediately turned around in the air and threw his knife backward, right where that strange energy bullet was coming from.
The knife traveled at high speed and collided with the energy, but it lost the fight and only managed to slow down. Even so, this one still hit Klaus in the shoulder, pushing him further until he hit a wall.
'Shit, lucky I used that. That would completely pierce my heart.' Klaus endured the pain in his shoulder, which had been pierced, and ran away from there quickly, not caring about leaving the knife behind, though he regretted it after doing so, but there was no choice. It was do that or die.
Behind him, the shadow beast was hysterical.
"RUN AFTER HIM; THAT DAMNED BASTARD CAN'T RUN AWAY WITH OUR TREASURE!" The ferocity in his voice frightened his subordinates, who, though unable to speak, ran after Klaus quickly; they were also angry.
Soon, the shadow-like beast was left alone with several corpses, including that of the wolf-like beast.
'Tsk, you fucking bastard.' He averted his gaze from the dead beasts and looked at the knife a bit away from there.
'Well, such a good knife; let me use it to kill you next time I see you.' He grabbed it and turned away, disappearing into the shadows nearby.
