Chapter 87: Ch 87 Searching for the EX rank
Klaus moved through the forest, his current target was a massive, fallen golem-like monster. He stood over its dissipating form and then his hand extended as he absorbed its skill.
The creature dissolved into pixels, and Klaus felt the familiar sensation that he used to feel when absorbing skills.
"Ugh, it sucks I can’t use elements," Klaus sighed in a disappointed tone. "Otherwise, this tournament would have been over in a few hours." he sighed as he finally accepted the limitations imposed by the mysterious guy.
Without his elemental skills, he had only two major offensive options. Stellar Sword Descent and Poison Body, which he could use to infuse poison into his attacks.
He considered his options. He could hypothetically just spread his poison in the air, using the Poison Body to create a wide-area effect and eliminate most of the participants and lower-ranked monsters.
But that would consume too much of his mana, even with his vast mana capacity.
He wanted to conserve his reserves as his target was to kill the EX-rank monster in this battle, a challenge he was looking forward to.
So, he held back from an all-out poison assault. He decided that first, he would find the EX-ranked monster with his Omniscient Tracking skill and then hunt it down before moving on. He had to ensure his victory in this competition.
With that thought in mind, Klaus began sprinting diagonally across the map. This systematic movement allowed him to scan and track most of the area as quickly as possible.
He activated his omniscient tracking skill and Apex Velocity and immediately his body became a blur. He started running on his prefixed path.
His surroundings blurred into streaks of green and brown as he flashed his way through the forest’s landscape.
Along the route, any monster or participant that came his way was decimated instantly.
