Klaus's body exuded no aura which suggested that he was alive, yet, the Gnome could clearly hear the sound of a beating heart coming from his body.
Klaus had been injured from their previous clashes, and even his darkness elemental essence had invaded his body and wreaked havoc inside him. Even in his current state, dark mist could be seen coming from the injuries on his body. Even with that, his heart started to beat again.
The silver robbed Gnome, not wanting to take any chances, decided it was best for him to destroy the body. Besides, he had failed in his multiple attempts to forge a connection with the corpse, so there was no point in keeping the body whole. Other than that, the sound of the beating heart from the supposed dead body made him a little apprehensive.
His blow was about to land when Klaus's body was suddenly covered in a seal of ice, blocking the palm strike of the silver robbed Gnome.
"Huh?" The sudden development startled the Gnome.
