Chapter 1488 The Ultimate Ice User II

Chapter 1488  The Ultimate Ice User II

The Faction Leader watched as Klaus was in the final stages of his breakthrough. The temperature around the Faction had dropped even further down, showing the signs of the tremendous impact of Klaus' breakthrough.

In the place Klaus was breaking through, the expressions of the three ladies present soon changed a little. The Faction Leader's mouth twitched softly as she saw something that shouldn't be happening.

"Is… that supposed to happen?" One of them ladies asked with a soft voice, trying to make sure she didn't interrupt Klaus' breakthrough.

The Faction Leader sighed and shook her head, "He's doing it himself."

She has been around Klaus for a few years now and it could be said she knew a little about his antics, and seeing what he's doing at the moment, she knew for a fact that Klaus was doing it on his own.

Klaus was currently floating mid-air, his hair white, eyes glowing, and a majestic long robe made entirely from ice was fluttering in the wind behind him. He made himself a robe befitting of a king as he was breaking through.

The two ladies didn't know what to think about Klaus. He is the greatest genius the Faction had ever seen when it came to life ice abilities. This was one of the reasons he was taken in, and also the fact that he went on to learn the hardest ice techniques with ease.

It was as if Klaus was born to be the ultimate ice user, and seeing what is happening as he is breaking through, they confirmed their guesses, Klaus truly is on course to become the best ice user the Faction will ever produce.

The robe was long and Klaus' figure soon started to descend. It was as if a king appeared before them. He gave them the feeling of a sovereign, not just in his cultivation, but a true sovereign reigning over them.

"It's enough, we get it."

A young lady's voice sounded from behind the Faction Leader and the two ladies. It was one of the top talents in the Faction. She was the number one person before the arrival of Klaus. She couldn't say she hated Klaus for taking her spot, but she didn't have a good impression of him due to it.

When her eyes trailed to the once magnificent block of ice that had been reduced to barely the size of a human head, she almost went red from rage.

"What happened to the Sacred Ice?" She asked one of the ladies.

They might be older, but just like Klaus, she had a high status in the Faction and could question them.

"He absorbed it during his breakthrough." One of them answered.

"He what?!" The young lady couldn't believe her ears.

"It's only right I used it while breaking through. A little sacrifice the Faction has to pay." Klaus was in high spirits, and rightly so. He just broke through to the Sovereign Plane and was in a great mood. He could tell that his ice ability has shot up thanks to him absorbing this ice.

"You greedy, self-centered, ab…"

"Enough!" The Faction Leader stopped the young lady, "The Sacred Ice was on the verge of melting off. There's no need arguing over it."

"But…"

"It's fine. We can get another one." The Faction Leader said.

Klaus grinned as he looked at the young lady with proud eyes, the snow-made robe was still on him and his hair had reverted back to its usual color.

"You see, we can get another." He strode forward as he spoke, on the verge of walking out of the place.

The Faction Leader's next statement made him freeze in place. Like shattered ice, Klaus felt his heart break.

"Klaus will get us another one."

"I think there's a mix-up somewhere." Klaus turned around and asked, "I'll do what?"

"You will get us another ice, just like this one. Or else, I'll make sure you cough up every single ice essence you took from it." The Faction Leader wore a dazzling smile as she spoke.

The face of the young lady lit up when she heard this. The Sacred Ice was indeed obtainable, but it was in a very dangerous place, and few Water Elementalists can get close to it without freezing up. An array was placed in the Faction that helps reduce the freezing effects of the ice, giving them the opportunity to cultivate in it.

"I could kill myself. I mean, there's no difference between the two right now." Klaus felt like crying. That was a death sentence, well, at least that is how he saw it.

"You'll be fine. I wouldn't want to kill my precious student." The Faction Leader laughed and disappeared.

"Fuck!" Klaus was visibly upset and the temperature around the place dropped even lower.

Even for these people that were part of a Faction that focuses on ice, they felt a cold in their spine.

The eyes of the young lady dilated when she sensed this. She had always known she was not on the same level as Klaus when it came to pure ice abilities, but experiencing this solidified it.

Klaus stormed off, heading straight for the exit of the Faction. His intentions were simple; Run!

He didn't mask it and headed straight for the gates.

The young lady rushed to report to the Faction Leader, but she was fine with Klaus leaving. She knew for a fact that Klaus would definitely return, so there was no point in chasing him.

….

Some kilometers away from the Moonlight Faction.

Klaus looked around in a City, after confirming he wasn't being followed, he heaved a sigh of relief.

'I've always known she doesn't like me.' He thought to himself before disappearing into the crowded street.

Due to the way Klaus broke through, news of it soon started to travel across the Continent. Making the temperature of the entire Faction drop was a stunning feat.

Klaus' fame started to spread, while Klaus himself was making the most of it.
