Two days after killing the Scorpion Lady Demoness, Klaus had recovered his strength to its peak. Since he was the only one there for obvious reasons, he slept for two days on the ice.
He woke up refreshed but cold to the bone.
The pain from absorbing the Core, Shard, and Essence had been unbearable, causing him to pass out right after completing the process.
The reasons for his collapse, however, were jaw-dropping.
"I can feel them now. The forbidden ice is almost at the awakening stage," Klaus said, his laughter ringing out as he felt a surge of happiness.
The seven forbidden ice he had awakened before were beginning to surface. As someone who had already experienced their power, he could feel them lingering just beneath the surface, making him eager to awaken them fully.
His eighth core was almost formed, and Klaus decided to use normal cores to push its progress. Retrieving a couple of hundred cores, he absorbed them while reflecting on his body's changes.
