"Oh? You're more powerful than before, little ape."
The ape simply let out a roar at him before charging at him again. Still, Klaus' body had not stopped growing stronger in this time.
His body was still growing with ferocity and determination, so his muscles were getting stronger and stronger, plus the cursed energy was constantly leaving the beast's body, so it was getting weaker and weaker.
Therefore, Klaus won the next fist clash. An interesting smile formed on his face. "Well, you're strong. Let me play a little." He grinned and leaped forward, punching the ape's face and whipping it to the ground in one motion.
The impact of two such powerful beings created a small earthquake throughout the entire mountain, which attracted numerous cursed beasts in the vicinity to the fight.
Still, Klaus was too busy to notice. Within a few strokes, Klaus noticed that the ape was slowly getting weaker.
'What a strange state...' He thought, just as the ape managed to hit him in the cheek.
His body still swayed backward, and he felt some pain, but it wasn't as much as with the first blow.
"I think it's time to end this." Klaus didn't even bother to draw his sword. He knew he could finish him off with his fists, so immediately after, he stomped hard on the ground, darting out to where the ape was trying to recover.
Suddenly, Klaus' huge shadow appeared in front of him, and a powerful fist slammed into the ape's face, making it swallow its own teeth and suddenly spit out blood as it was sent forcefully backward.
Its huge body slammed into the nearby trees, knocking them over with its back.
Some of the more powerful branches of the trees stabbed determinedly into its body so that the ape was soon pinned to a huge tree nearby.
'So weak?' Klaus thought as he looked at it from a distance.
The ape's body then reacted a little as it tried to move, but the cursed energy leaving its body did not return to it. Its eyes suddenly lost their hateful glow, and its ability was completely deactivated.
Suddenly, the cursed energy in the surroundings began to consume the huge ape's body, and a few seconds later, it was gone.
That left Klaus in shock, who could find no answers to this.
"What a strange world." He thought and looked at himself.
'Yes... What a strange world.'
He then looked up, expecting to see the System announcement, but what he saw was a huge wave of extremely dark cursed energy approaching his body and entering in an instant.
Suddenly, his mouth filled with a large amount of blood, and he couldn't stand it; he had to vomit it up.
His arms and legs became extremely weak in that instant, as the extremely dark cursed energy that entered his body began to create blades inside him and expel them, wounding him all over.
He was unable to keep his balance and fell to the ground. His legs, as did his arms, suddenly lost all the strength they once had. The cursed energy in his body began to pour out of his body, leaving only the right amount needed to fill the Cursed Core.
And with the outflow of so much cursed energy, his muscles decreased, as did his size.
That left him in shock.
He looked down at his arms, shaking from the pain.
'What the hell is that?'
With difficulty, he raised one of his arms and ripped off the blades that were still stuck in his body from the inside out. That made the blood in his body spurt out, but he didn't care.
He stared at the blades and felt stunned as they disappeared, again transforming into cursed energy.
'It's an imitation of the cursed frost rock...' He looked up and looked at the place where the ape had disappeared. In his mind, he traced a path and then realized that that unusually dark energy that entered his body was the last attack that bastard had made.
'What a tough bastard...' He groaned and began to rip the strange blades from all over his body.
At the same time, the System started sending him messages...
[Sorcerer Klaus' First Bath is over. Successfully, he managed to pass all the tests and awaken his abilities]
[Being one of the survivors of an Endless Bath, the System favors him. He will be awarded a Title and an Award on the 2nd time he enters the Cursed World]
[Aspirant Klaus, you have now become a Sorcerer]
[Welcome to the Sorcerer World]
[DING]
[DING]
[His transformation has been able to shake the dimensions, the Dimensional Colossi have become angry. The trembling of the Dimensions is spreading to all corners of the world. Be careful, Sorcerer Klaus]
[You will soon be teleported back to your world. Survive until then.]
As these messages finished reaching him, Klaus looked up sharply. Suddenly, he saw a large number of cracks appear all over the sky and the surrounding area.
"What the fuck?" he blurted out.
Suddenly, the large number of cracks had an explosion at that spot, sending a powerful and unmatched attack toward the huge hill Klaus was standing on. That attack seemed to be like a huge cyclone of a size, which stunned him. Klaus could only bring one hand to his forehead before he was swallowed up.
The huge attack also hit the mountain below him with ferocity, suddenly swallowing up the huge mountain and Klaus' small figure, plus the immense number of approaching cursed beasts, in an instant.
In a second, all that was left was a huge void, like a meteorite had fallen and then disappeared, leaving only a huge gap with nothing else.
[You have been successfully teleported]
Klaus had even closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, he found that message.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and looked straight ahead.
'The laboratory hall from before...' He thought with difficulty. He even managed to see many men in white coats running back and forth as if they had been alarmed.
He heard some things too.
"What the hell just happened? Why did everyone who was passing the first bath suddenly come out?"
"Sir, it's not just here in Sam'an City; in other cities around the country, the same thing is happening too! Everyone in the first bath seems to have been kicked out!"
"What the hell!?"
"...!"
Klaus couldn't understand much more of what they were saying. His mind began to darken, and the last thing he saw was a new message from the system.
[You broke the dimensions...]
...
