The moment Klaus suggested the vacation, everyone turned to look at him. Even Hanna, who knew why he said that, was still puzzled. She understood his reasoning for choosing Felin City for their getaway, but she hadn’t expected him to make up his mind so quickly.
She had expected him to at least wait until they broke through to the Grandmaster stage before taking any action. However, Klaus was no weakling; he wanted to get that out of the way.
“Sounds like a good idea, sweetheart,” Klaus’s mom was the first to accept the vacation plan. Soon, Miriam and Ohema joined in as well. As for Anna and Lily, they were more than happy to go wherever Klaus went.
His male friends were currently out with the ladies they had managed to bag after the trial. Appearing in the top 20 had certainly given them some charisma.
“Then it is decided; we leave tomorrow at sunset,” Klaus said before heading to his room to take care of something. Hanna stayed with her mom and the two vixens, while the two magnificently beautiful ladies followed Klaus.
“Talk.” As soon as they entered the room, Miriam asked, “I know you wanted to prepare for your breakthrough right after the trial, so why the sudden vacation?”
“No hidden agenda here, my love. It’s just a normal vacation for a few days before I enter seclusion,” Klaus said with a small smile, looking at the two ladies standing before him.
“Liar. Spill it,” Ohema said, narrowing her gaze at him. Klaus observed them for a moment and then sighed.
“Fine, I will tell you. Some bastards killed my sister’s girlfriend, so we are going for revenge,” he said, and the two ladies just smiled. They had expected as much.
“Do you need any help?” Ohema asked.
“A jet to take us there would do. You don’t happen to have one, do you?” Klaus joked.
“I do. Wanna see it?” Ohema replied, making Klaus raise an eyebrow.
“Of course you do. You are rich, after all,” he said with a smile. Miriam walked forward and pushed him onto the bed.
“Hey, you two are not trying to eat me up, are you?” Klaus asked, a smile on his face.
“Pervert. Just lie down; we only want to give you a massage,” Ohema said, reaching for his shirt. Soon, Klaus was under the gentle care of two fairies. Their touches are heavenly.
“So, Klaus, aside from us, Lucy, Anna, and Lily, who else is there?” Ohema asked, her hands brushing past his ribcage.
“Nobody else, my lo—Ouch!” Klaus cried, feeling something pinch his ribcage.
“Wanna try again?” Ohema asked, her expression teasing. Miriam just smiled.
“You wicked woman,” Klaus said, a smile playing on his lips. “Just so you know, my charm is pretty toxic. Wherever I go, fairies keep falling for me without me even trying, so don’t be surprised when more start popping up.”
“Pervert,” Ohema said, shaking her head.
“Nothing perverted here, my love. You can ask Miriam to narrate all the amazing nights we ha—Ouch!” Klaus cried out again when something pinched his other rib.
“That’s why I like Anna and Lily more; they are very gentle and caring, unlike you two demons.” Klaus, who was meant to be enjoying the massage, was now feeling more pain than pleasure.
“By the way, Klaus, Sister Ohema told me about her situation. Are you confident you can help her?” Miriam suddenly asked.
“Of course! She is my woman; I would do everything I can to help her,” Klaus replied.
“Good,” Miriam smiled.
Klaus chuckled inwardly. ‘Maybe it’s a paragon thing, but I think all my women are meant to back each other instead of compete.’
He couldn’t have asked for a better situation. The fact that they were all rooting for each other was more than enough. At least, he wouldn’t have to worry about them fighting each other in the future.
“You should go see Sister Nadia when you are free,” Miriam suggested.
“And why is that? I don’t suppose I have any business with her anytime soon.” Klaus hadn’t modeled for months now, as Nadia had been busy with a new trend she was working on. So why would Miriam want him to go see her?
“Just go see her,” she said before channeling spiritual qi into his palm and then starting to massage him more intimately this time.
Ohema did the same. Soon, Klaus started feeling much better. All the pain was washed away, now replaced by intense pleasure.
‘Fuck you, Fruity. Fuck you, Number Three. Who is living the dream now?’ Klaus cursed his past incarnations, who had made his life a little too chaotic recently.
He just didn’t understand why his past incarnations didn’t appear like normal people. The last time Fruity visited him, it was in a dreamlike state, and Number Three had scared the hell out of him during the aura awakening.
‘If only they could come to me like normal humans, I would be damn grateful,’ Klaus thought inwardly. But he wasn’t complaining at the moment; Ohema and Miriam were surprisingly making him feel good.
They made sure he felt all their love and care. Klaus of course wasn’t one to deny that. He was living the warrior dream.
After they were done, Klaus rewarded them with a kiss and then started absorbing monster cores. Thanks to the massacre at Union City, he was able to level up to level 9. Just three more levels before the tribulation descends again so he could break through.
The two ladies watched him with proud smiles on their faces.
While many would carefully absorb the cores, Klaus was just crashing them with his palm before absorbing the energy, which took less than a minute for each core.
On his back, Ohema and Miriam could see one of the nine stars glow whenever the energy entered his body. This puzzled them, but they didn’t want to disturb him, so they waited until he was done.
Klaus received quite a large sum of cores, so he wasn’t holding back. All the cores from the zombies he had massacred at the Demon’s Abode were given to him, and he also received more from Dave and Kane Arcadia.
Then, aside from that, he received even more cores from Dharma, the overlord as a reward for completing the quest when he killed the Five Fire Monsters from the fire region in the Demon’s Abode. He also obtained a few from the trial at Sinji Valley and the Union trial.
So he was loaded. Four hours later, he broke through to level 10. But he didn’t stop; he continued for a few hours before stopping when it was time for dinner.
He realized that the higher his levels progressed, the fewer experience points he received from the cores. It was a rather painful experience for him. However, knowing he wouldn’t be following the same leveling-up system after the breakthrough gave him something to hope for.
After having dinner, they spent some time talking about random things. Later, Klaus went to bed, but he had to spend a few hours with Lily and Anna, who helped him release some stress before he finally slept. The next day, they spent the morning as usual.
Later that day, they boarded Ohema’s jet to Felin City, where Klaus and Hanna would be spending some quality brother-sister time together amidst slaughter and bloodshed.
