The problem was that this cursed beast was too big. Being on the ground, it was hard for him to reach it from an advantageous place, so he needed to create that advantageous opportunity.

Even more so because he is at a disadvantage, considering that this guy's flesh is a non-Newtonian fluid. That means if he hits head-on at this point, he will hit an almost indestructible rock. Naturally, he would get hurt.

So he needed a different idea, and that's where he decided to do pretty much the same thing he did a moment ago when he grabbed that guy's arm and pulled it towards him, but now from an unexpected moment.

That way, he could pull him fast enough and hard enough to hit his head repeatedly.

That being the case, the opportunity was in front of him, but he needed to create it.

So, after gauging the trajectory of the blow coming towards him, he looked at the cursed energy, focusing on it to the best of his ability.

'Oh...' Studying it, he found something curious about the cursed beast in front of him. 'The cursed energy is coming out near its eyes as if it were breathing and then going back in.' He thought.

That was something he hadn't realized until today.

And he realized it only because how could it breathe if it didn't have a nose? Maybe he had seen it before on other beasts and ignored it because it was 'normal'. But now that he sees it in a beast that has no nose, he feels he understands it.

'I see; cursed beasts breathe cursed energy; that's why they lose it so often, too. It comes out too much because they can't control it well.' For a moment, he felt he had discovered something silly that would be of no use to him nowadays, but suddenly he realized he was wrong.

His eyes flashed a little, and just before the fist hit him, he understood what it was all about.

Simply put, cursed beasts are like fish in water when they are in the presence of a lot of cursed energy.

'If the cursed energy acts like water to them, it makes it easier.' Klaus smiled.

He didn't need to know much more; he was nothing away from getting hit by that guy, so he immediately focused on dodging him.

And to do so, he moved his arms out to the sides, trying to feel the cursed energy just like a fish. When he did so, he realized that it was extremely easy to feel it at this moment, especially since his body seemed to be attached to the cursed energy. That caused him to suddenly and almost unconsciously bend his body strangely to one side with incredible speed.

It was a bold move, for just then, the fist passed by where he stood. Klaus didn't see it firsthand because the move he had just made was strange and complicated. He did not understand exactly what happened, for he felt himself merged with the cursed energy for a moment, and the next instant, he had already moved according to his thoughts, which caused him to stand with his back to the huge arm.

So he hurried to turn around in midair, and just as he did, he noticed that the beast had acted to withdraw his arm.

'Heh, not a chance.' He immediately raised his arm forcefully and grabbed it by the wrist. Since he knew it was a non-Newtonian fluid, he had to be bold and grab it with great force to keep it from slipping away.

Immediately, he pulled it with great force towards him. Somehow, his body seemed to feel incredibly free at this moment. It was as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders, so every movement was extremely smooth, effective, and powerful.

The strong pull the beast felt was impossible to bear. Its flesh was only good for not receiving powerful attacks from the front; it was not good for withstanding such a strong pull. Because of its size, it lost its balance abruptly, so it fell forward while trying to regain control.

Still, Klaus would not let go.

He immediately propelled himself forward with great force, and while his right hand held the knife, he looked at the beast's head. His skill, 'Scientist's Madness,' was already active, showing him the whole head as a huge weak spot.

He didn't hesitate anymore and moved his knife to strike several times, trying to cut the head directly. He wanted this body for research, so he needed to kill it before damaging it, although he really couldn't even damage it.

His hands moved at high speed as he swiped past and hit the head in different key places. The blue blood splattered all over him, but Klaus had to frown when he realized that he had crossed the head and not broken it completely.

Right now, he had his back to the cursed beast, which was seeking to regain its balance by clutching the ground.

A part of the beast's head had been broken off and its third eye was gone, as Klaus managed to pull it out. Even so, it was still there and had not died.

That made Klaus bite his teeth gently, and he looked ahead. Before him was only the rest of the field and the night, but there was also a lot of cursed energy that this beast had left behind.

Klaus then wanted to try one more thing, so he immediately tried to feel the cursed energy once again. Perhaps he was trying to achieve the state he achieved earlier. But this time, he didn't feel it.

What he did feel was that somehow, he could now use the energy for more things, and that made him smile. He immediately got strong on his feet and expelled the cursed energy from his body, out there, trying to make a kind of propellant. But, naturally, he understood that a propellant would need a lot of 'fuel,' so instead of using it as a propellant, knowing he didn't have enough cursed energy, he used it as a stepping stone to stepping on.

And soon, he noticed that it worked.

Stepping on it, he propelled himself backward at high speed and turned around in mid-air just before slamming into the guy's head.

Then he hit him again, this time on the other side of the head.

Thanks to the momentum he was carrying and his own strength, the repeated blows that hit him shattered the beast's head, and the rest of his body slammed fiercely into the ground.
