The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

“What the fuck is that?” Somewhere in Lunarville, a young lady shouted, pointing at the large fiery creature that had appeared in the air over the tribulation ground.

“Is that a dragon?” another person asked.

“I think so… It’s enormous.” Enjoy new adventures from empire

“But who has a dragon in this world? I thought dragons were just mythical creatures,” someone else chimed in. Staring at the flaming dragon rampaging in the distance, none of them could believe their eyes.

“Is Her Highness breaking through?” another person speculated. Among the Moon Race, Queen Lunara was the strongest. Her fire element was several times more potent than anyone could imagine.

Of course, she also possessed the Light element, but her primary cultivation focused on fire. Because of this, many began to wonder if the fire dragon that had suddenly appeared in their world belonged to her.

But while they speculated, the queen herself was struggling to comprehend what was happening.

High in the air, aside from the TPP devouring the lightning monsters, the only thing visible was the dragon rampaging as if there were no tomorrow.

The dragon was using its [Dragon Breath] and [Tail Slash Kill] skills to annihilate the ranks of the monsters, filling the sky with millions of runes.

Strangely, these runes weren’t being absorbed by the dragon, like the last time. Instead, they continue to pour into Klaus’s body.

Seated in a lotus posture, Klaus was calmly absorbing the runes as they flowed into his body.

“This is just… unbelievable,” Queen Lunara muttered, her expression one of sheer defeat as if she were about to give up on life.

It had been over two hours since the tribulation began. From the start until now, she had witnessed nothing but the unimaginable.

She knew she was strong, but when she was a Grandmaster, she couldn’t have achieved even a quarter of what Klaus was showing.

“That is my husband for you, Mother… In these two worlds, there is no one more awesome than my man,” Ohema shamelessly said.

“Oh, look who is back to her shameless self. I thought your husband shocked you just now,” Queen Lunara forced out a smile.

“What is there to be shocked about? Instead of being shocked, I just have to accept reality and admit I fell for a monster who doesn’t play by the rules of common sense,” Ohema laughed.

“Unbelievable… What an interesting young man,” Queen Lunara said with a small smile.

“Mom, I don’t like the way you’re eyeing my man,” Ohema said with a teasing smile.

“Tsk…” Queen Lunara chuckled and went back to watching the dragon kill and destroy thousands of monsters, feeding the runes to its master, who was now just sitting as if it was the most natural thing to do in this context.

“You’ll have to compensate me for stealing my runes,” Queenie said to Klaus with a small smile.

“Oh, shameless much?” Klaus smiled.

“They belong to me, after all,” Queenie said, maintaining her smile.

Just like Ohema, who gave up being shocked and simply accepted reality, Queenie also chose that path. There was no point in being shocked about something happening right before her eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’ll compensate you with something very valuable… my body,” Klaus said with a small laugh.

“Tsk… Who wants your body?” Queenie blushed slightly, trying to hide her face.

“Oh, is that a blush I see there? I wish Nari was here. She would have loved to see that,” Klaus’s laughter filled the tribulation ground.

“You will start feeling the transformation in the next few minutes, so be ready to break through,” Klaus said with a sigh.

“Is everything alright?” Queenie asked, noticing the expression on Klaus’s face.

“Nothing to worry about. Just be ready, and don’t worry—I will protect you and ensure no harm comes to you,” Klaus replied.

“You’re scaring me, Klaus,” Queenie said, feeling a bad premonition.

Klaus smiled and was about to comfort her when he felt a sudden surge of energy fill his body. A wave of power poured out of him.

The fourth core was formed, and immediately, runes surged into the fifth core. But that wasn’t all. This time, not only did the runes enter his body, but the dense spiritual qi in the air also began flooding into him, making him grin slightly.

“You have nothing to worry about,” he said to Queenie before standing up. He deactivated the bell of harrows and pressed his hand against her forehead.

“The fifth wave will start in the next 30 minutes. When that moment comes, attempt to break through. And whatever happens, don’t stop,” Klaus said before taking flight.

He soared into the air, stopping only when he was a few meters away from the TPP.

Ten minutes later, another surge of energy filled him, overwhelming his body with power. The fifth core was formed, and then it happened.

The last of the Level Four monsters were burned to runes. But the tower did not disappear. Instead, it fell once more.

However, instead of a gate guardian appearing, the clouds parted, revealing the tip of a colossal sword on the horizon.

“Judgement Sword”

[Judgement Sword…]

Both the senior and Klaus felt a bad premonition. The force emanating from just the tip of the sword immediately forced Klaus to the ground.

Cough!

“Klaus…” Queenie called out.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but surprisingly, he wasn’t hurt in any way.

“Don’t worry, you can start now. The faster you get this over with, the sooner the heavens will end this,” Klaus said to her, but deep within, he was shaken.

Klaus asked, shocked by what he had just felt deep within his soul.

[Yes. It looks like the moment she moved to break through, they got serious. But this is also good. All you have to do is destroy that sword, and your sixth core will form from the runes you’ll receive from it.]

Klaus asked.

[Indeed. That sword, although made of tribulation runes, also contains divine energy. That energy is several times stronger than spiritual qi—well, it is divine energy, after all. In short, even a small amount of it is extremely valuable, and you have a sword full of it.

That being said, anything containing divine energy also carries traces of divinity within it. So, you’d better prepare for a powerful confrontation. It will activate its first form soon.]

Klaus smiled, his gaze fixed on the 120-meter-long sword that had emerged halfway from the clouds.

Klaus said confidently.

[Good luck with that. Don’t underestimate a divine sword, brat, even if it’s made of tribulation runes.]

Klaus smiled and stepped forward. With a flick of his hand, he summoned the Skybound Bow, and a long red arrow materialized in his grip.

Klaus activated the Dragon Arm Guard skill forming a dragon scale-like arm guard around his right hand.

The red arrow locked into the bow. It was the last arrow originally meant for the Red Lady Assassin, the last Sovereign assassins in the northern union. But now, it was aimed at the heavens themselves.

He pulled the bowstring, and just as the full 240-meter length of the sword emerged from the clouds and ready to stroke, Klaus muttered coldly:

“Skybound Infinity Strike: Void Piercing Arrow.”
