Using KClass as argument to templates

Question

I used the following link to get around the limitations arising from type erasure in Java.

kotlin reified generic in virtual function

I want the following class to be interfaced as follows:

class KlaxonJsonParserAdapter(private val klaxon: Klaxon) : JsonParser {
    override fun <T: Any> parse(string: String, type: KClass<T>): T = klaxon.parse<type>(string)
}

Subsequently, it enables to use it as such:

JsonParser.parse<Type>(string: String)

through extension functions.

But I couldn't figure out how to use the type parameter to external dependency as a reified type to achieve what I want.

I cannot plug the variable into the template slot as such:

klaxon.parse<type>(string)
