Klaus's body, soul, thoughts, and very consciousness froze the instant Anthony activated the freeze ability under Sense Dome.
Anthony did not waste even a fraction of time, for he knew with absolute certainty that he had only three seconds to make his move. His hand blurred as it shot toward his waist, and with one skillful, practiced motion, he unsheathed his katana.
The instant the blade emerged, sword intent bloomed into existence, coating the weapon in a razor-sharp intent that could sever through matter and essence alike. Without hesitation, Anthony swung his katana in a clean, merciless arc toward Klaus's neck, his movement exuding lethal efficiency and calculated precision.
Anthony's reasoning was simple. He did not for a moment believe that someone like Klaus lacked the means to restore his life if he were to die. A man of Klaus's caliber surely possessed contingencies, resurrection methods, revival artifacts, or soul-bound anchors.
