Chapter 53 He likes the little things in life
The strange paint that made it look like a clown immediately began to move across its face, shifting its nose and mouths that had been affected. Internally, some strange things also seemed to move.
"GrRUUUUU!" A strange grunt of pain came from one of its mouths as it spat out several bloody teeth.
Klaus frowned. 'Are all their mouths connected? That wasn't the mouth I hit. What strange creatures. It seems I must start investigating them thoroughly.' Klaus smiled.
Even though he saw something like that, it didn't scare or disgust him.
The way it arranged its face now left its nose on its strange cheeks, covered in green blood.
But that wasn't at all worrisome.
'The power they have is pretty low.' Klaus thought as he moved his head back to dodge the blow from the third cursed beast that lunged at him, wanting to strike him with nails filled with some strange foul substance.
"You would give me quite a bit of trouble if we fought in my base state, and I would possibly die against the three of you. Unfortunately, we are not in my base state. I wonder how many hits you can take." Klaus grinned and immediately hit the beast with his bare fists.
Although it would end faster if he decapitated them or plunged his knife into their heads, he didn't need to.
As far as he thought, his current power should be pretty close to the Strong Level among the Sorcerer System, and these guys seemed to be at the bottom of the First Level within the Beast System, so his strength was much higher than theirs.
That's why he wanted to use his fists to kill them, and after hitting it in the head, the beast was sent backward, crashing into the walls, causing a grunt of pain to emerge from its mouth.
Klaus immediately moved towards that beast, and his next blow buried its head in the wall, causing blue blood to emerge from its body. He wasted no time; instantly, four blows landed on the beast's body, and the wall was broken, sending the beast's body flying, with a huge amount of blood flowing out of its body.
But Klaus was not alone; he knew that. So he moved his head to the side to dodge one of the attacks of the beast coming behind him and subsequently raised his elbow to hit the guy who had knocked out its teeth earlier in the face. His powerful elbow strike knocked out several more teeth and made the beast dizzy.
He took advantage of this to jump on top of it and fall down, hitting it hard on the head, smashing its head into the ground, and killing it instantly.
'They're quite a bit weaker than I thought. Is my power too much for them? How close am I to Strong Level, then?' As he thought, he focused on dodging the other guy and hitting it a bit more gently.
He was trying to better understand his current power, as he would need it for future hunting nights. So he was patient and gave it several relatively weak blows before killing it.
When he killed it, it was left in a pulp, beaten many times, and totally disfigured.
Klaus nodded. 'The cursed energy increases considerably from 7 p.m. until 12 midnight. From there, it stays constant for about three hours before suddenly decaying at 5 in the morning. So right now, I'm close to my maximum power level since what makes me stronger is the cursed energy that enters as an enhancer in my body. That's why researching my strength is complicated; I'll have to do it again at 12.' He thought.
He grabbed the cursed beasts and looked at several classrooms out of sheer curiosity before leaving. The mission was relatively more straightforward than he thought, or maybe it was just that his strength was too much for this mission, but finishing it quickly was pretty good.
'If I keep going like this, I could manage to complete several missions with good pay in one night, not that I need much money now that I have those two contracts, as long as that woman's words don't take effect, I have to raise money to pay off the debt. I can't blindly trust a woman like her, after all.'
On his way out, he found Joan Sanner sitting quite far from this place. He was far enough away to flee in his car in case something went wrong, but the truth was that he was so focused on writing what Klaus had asked of him that he didn't even notice when Klaus arrived in front of him.
"Mr. Joan, I've finished the mission." Klaus said after clearing his throat. He threw the bodies of the beasts there.
His sudden appearance startled Joan, "Ahh!" In a moment, Joan reached for his car keys and was almost out for a run when he realized it was Klaus and the beasts were dead.
The sheets he wrote flew sideways, so Klaus had to hold them up quickly.
"Don't panic, Mr. Joan. It's me, I'm done."
"Sorcerer Will? Did you slay them that fast?" Unable to believe that, Joan held a brush stick next to him and struck from afar at the bodies of the beasts. The wounds on their bodies revealed to him that they were dead, and their inactivity after being struck with something as simple as that revealed even more that they were dead.
'So fast, was it that easy to kill these things?' he thought, in shock.
'No, no, no.' He quickly shook his head. 'If they were that easy to kill, my companion wouldn't have died. Is he that powerful? He looks very young.' He looked at Klaus, who nodded at him.
"I originally thought they were a bit special and strong, but they were no big deal. Even though they hadn't just been born, they were in the early stages." He smiled and handed him the papers to finish writing.
'Amazing.' Joan was actually in shock but frowned.
"We don't have enough to pay a strong person like you; why take on this mission? Although I don't have much knowledge of sorcerers, I understand that killing these cursed beasts so easily requires a certain level of strength; why would you accept a low-level mission?" He asked. He knew that they couldn't afford the services of such a powerful person, so he was worried.
But Klaus shrugged and sat to the side. "I was just curious and settled for the pay you stipulated in the mission; although it's low, it's still acceptable." Klaus replied, looking up at the sky and stars.
Lord Joan couldn't understand him. "Why? What made you curious?" He asked.
"I like scientists, Mr. Joan." Klaus smiled, not taking his eyes off the beautiful starry sky. "I also once dreamed of being one. I know perfectly well that you guys don't have much money. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. I just wanted to follow what my heart was telling me to do, and I got here." After speaking, he pointed to the sheets of paper.
"Finish what you were doing and pay no attention to the rest. The cursed beasts are dead, and the cursed energy infected by those beasts will be cleansed by me when you are done."
Joan Sanner stared at him. 'I've never met a sorcerer before who was curious about research subjects. He seems to be a talented young man, but he's not greedy. He likes the little things in life.' He thought, somehow, his earlier nervousness had gone away as he understood this.
He started writing again, and he did it more eagerly this time. He didn't think that his problematic situation that took a life would be resolved in so few minutes, so he was happy.
