The battle deep in the canyon continued viciously. Klaus' arrival changed the course of the battle, but after the initial first few seconds, the Gnomes have reorganized themselves and did not allow the surprise to worry them. Although the humans seem to have the upper hand, the Gnomes still had the superior numbers, which was quite significant given that a Gnome will always have a Puppet that is at least on the same cultivation stage as themselves, almost doubling their strength.
Klaus was facing the three Seventh stage Puppets. Without the element of surprise, he was not as dominant against the Puppets compared to the way he easily took out a Puppet during his entrance, making the three Gnomes heave a sigh of relief. The current situation proved that Klaus was not unbeatable.
