The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Somewhere far away, in a large house suspended in the clouds, inside a lush room radiating both calm and overbearing energy, sat a woman with fluffy fox ears, long black-and-white hair, an incredibly beautiful figure, and nine fluffy tails.

She seemed to be cultivating, exuding a calm yet oppressive aura. Suddenly, her beautiful black-and-white eyes snapped open.

“The first Star Light has been ignited. Master has awakened,” she said with a small smile.

“I must locate him quickly before tragedy finds him. Hehe, I hope Master remembers me this time,” she murmured before vanishing from the room. The next moment, something shot into the sky, disappearing.

Klaus looked down at the shell of lightning and smiled. He slowly descended the diagram with a diameter of four feet still hovering behind him, exuding potent lightning energy. The cloud had also dissipated.

They lost, so they had to retreat for now.

Klaus placed his hand on the shell and began to mutter some words. After a while, the shell cracked and came undone. Inside was the pale body of an incredibly beautiful lady.

The former Hanna had short, dark hair, striking features, and a slightly athletic build. Although she wasn’t as stunning as Anna and Lily, she was far from unattractive.

Now, however, she had transformed, gaining a body that seemed crafted from rare white jade. It looked pale and smooth, very pleasing to the eye. Her hair remained short, but it was now blue.

She now had a slender figure, a well-rounded backside, curvy hips, and moderate chest assets. Her facial features had improved greatly; if she were walking beside Anna and Lily, no one would look down on her.

She might even attract more attention than Anna and Lily. She had become truly stunning. Klaus gazed at her jadelike body, covered only by a thin white fabric, and smiled. His smile had barely bloomed when a splitting headache rocked his brain.

“Brat, you two need to be submerged in ice to solidify the transformation,” said the senior, who always seemed to support Klaus in the end. Klaus nodded.

He then looked toward the 10-kilometer distance and spoke.

“Take my sister and me back to the city, and please, tell them to put us in an ice bath. And please, don’t resist her, I will…” He hadn’t even finished when his body gave out, and he collapsed beside Hanna.

A split second later, Luna and Nuna appeared beside them.

“He wants us to send them back?” Nuna asked with a frown. “But she’s staying there. You know how unreasonable she can be.” Her frown deepened.

“We have no choice,” Luna said, a look of panic appearing on her face.

“So you think she won’t kill us on sight?” Nuna asked.

“How should I know? We can only pray she doesn’t. Otherwise, we can only obey and not resist. It would make it swift,” Luna replied.

“Nice being your sister, Nuna,” Luna added.

“You too, Luna.”

The two sighed, and then, placing their hands on Klaus and Hanna, shadows consumed them. In the next instant, they were gone.

***

Inside the mansion where Klaus and his family were staying, his mother and his lovers sat in the living room, likely waiting for Klaus and Hanna to return.

Miriam had already told them they would be running late. At first, they were fine with it, but after a storm started raging in the Far East, their worry began to grow.

Klaus’s mother, in particular, was very anxious. If not for the two younger women, Anna and Lily, wrapping themselves around her like a second skin, she would have been pacing by now.

That woman had an unusual attachment to her son—at times, it was even unsettling.

Suddenly, a shadow flickered, and four people appeared. Luna and Nuna immediately raised their hands in surrender before Miriam could even pin them down. They turned pale instantly.

“Klaus!” all the ladies in the room cried, rushing toward Klaus and Hanna, who were sleeping peacefully.

“What did you two do to them?” Miriam demanded, her gentle demeanor turning icy.

“We didn’t do anything. He just told us to bring them here so you could put them in an ice bath,” Luna said without skipping a word. The look in Miriam’s eyes made it clear she was serious.

“Miriam, relax. They’re fine, just unconscious for now,” Ohema reassured her.

“You two better pray they’re fine,” Miriam said, following the other ladies into the bathroom, where, with Anna’s help, an ice bath was prepared, and the two were submerged.

Even in the hall, Luna and Nuna remained locked in place, their pale faces showing they weren’t having an easy time. Minutes passed, then hours. Before long, ten hours had gone by, and still, no one emerged from the bathroom.

“Do you think they’ll be okay?” Luna asked her sister.

“I hope so, I really do. But if it comes to it, I’ll sacrifice my core so you have a chance to escape,” Nuna replied.

“So you would die alone? Not happening, sister. We die together or escape together,” Luna said with a determined look.

“You idiot, I’m the older sister here. You must obey me,” Nuna insisted.

“Sorry, Sister, but I won’t let anything separate us—not even death,” Luna said, unwavering. The years they spent as their mother’s slaves had been too much for her to bear.

After Klaus broke the seal, the two twin sisters promised each other they would never part again, not even in death. So, no matter what, Luna wouldn’t leave her big sister, who had endured most of the torture from their mother.

As the eldest, despite being born on the same day, Nuna saw it as her duty to protect her sister. So, rather than focusing on her training, she continually searched for ways to kill their mother and free them both.

Of course, this brought her more pain, but she continued to endure it for her sister’s sake. Even today, she was planning to sacrifice herself to give Luna a chance to escape, no matter how slim that chance might be.

“You…” Nuna wanted to respond, but she stopped as Miriam and Ohema returned to the living room.

“You two should relax. Klaus and his sister are fine. But until they wake up, you’re not going anywhere,” Ohema said, nudging Miriam to release them—or rather, to reduce the pressure on them. Miriam hesitated for a moment before freeing them.

“Thank you,” Nuna said, panting, as did her sister, Luna.

“Drink this,” Ohema said, handing them each a bottle of water. They gulped it down as though their lives depended on it.

“Thank you,” Nuna repeated.

“Don’t worry about it. You two brought them here, so we can do at least this much. But until he wakes up, don’t even think about running.” Ohema glanced at Miriam and gave her a nod. Miriam looked at the two for another moment before walking away.

“Come, sit down,” Ohema gestured for them to sit, and like two obedient children, they walked over and sat down.

Although Ohema didn’t have the overbearing nature of Miriam, Luna, and Nuna never even thought of running. They might be sneaky, but they weren’t stupid. They knew that the moment they made any attempt to escape, it would mean certain death.

Two days later, Klaus and Hanna woke up, bringing smiles to everyone’s faces, including Luna and Nuna.
