The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The beautiful redhead appeared through the space rift and hovered in the air, her gaze fixed on Klaus. As soon as she appeared, the instructors started arriving at the scene.

The reason was simple: the presence that had emerged was extremely dangerous. The alarms didn’t recognize her identity, so they alerted the instructors.

Head Instructor Victor was the first to arrive. He was the strongest in the outer section, after all. But the moment his eyes fell on the redhead, his expression shifted from combat readiness to weariness, fear, and dread.

The other instructors who followed reacted the same way. They all recognized Nari, or as most called her, the Fire Queen. She was also known by another name: the Destroyer.

Because of her fire element, creation is not something she indulges in. She is all about destruction.

Of course, Nari ignored them all and began descending. Soon, her feet touched the ground, and she started walking in Klaus’s direction.

Asha looked weary, fear gripping her. She recognized the most dangerous woman in the world—or rather, the most destructive woman in existence.

And that woman was walking toward her.

Klaus, who knew she had come for him, stood behind Asha. For some reason, he could tell things wouldn’t end well for him.

Why?

Because he had failed to keep the promise he had made to her.

Nari stopped in front of Asha, making the witch want to disappear on the spot. The eyes looking back at her were filled with rage, threatening to burn her to ash.

But then, Nari gently touched her shoulder and pulled her aside. Her fiery gaze landed on Klaus, who managed a guilty smile.

“Big Sister Nari, glad to see you again—ouch!” Klaus didn’t even finish before a fire-infused hand latched onto his ear.

“So you remember me, huh?” Nari said coldly.

“Of course, how could I forget the most amazing overlord to have ever graced this world with beauty?” Klaus squirmed in her grip as his ear neared the melting point.

Every disciple was in shock, not daring to breathe for fear they would be reduced to ash. They knew the lady, who she was, and how ruthless she could be.

And that lady is a few meters from them.

“Your words of flattery won’t save you, Klaus. You promised to call me, but you didn’t.” Nari twisted his ear, making Klaus wince in her grasp.

“Yeah, well, you know, I was very, very busy with—ouch!” Klaus screamed when her other hand touched his shoulder.

“Want to take that again?” Nari said, setting Klaus’s shirt on fire.

Every disciple gasped when Klaus’s shirt ignited. Of course, Klaus screamed. Even though he had an affinity for fire, his resistance wasn’t strong enough to save him from the pain of a pseudo-phoenix flame dancing on his skin.

“I’m sorry, Big Sister Nari. I forgot to call you.” Klaus chose to apologize before the crazy woman burned him to ash.

“That won’t do. You have to compensate me for using me as your wingwoman, and then, when you succeeded, you dumped me.” Klaus wanted to argue that she did nothing since he was the one who used his charm and past life knowledge to win Queenie’s heart—well, partially win her heart.

“Ouch!”

“Well, say something.” Nari increased the flame intensity, making Klaus scream.

“I am sorry for using you as my wingwoman and dumping you, big sister Nari,” Klaus promised himself he would make her pay one day.

“Better. But I am still angry.” Nari removed her arm from his shoulder, but the deed had already been done. Klaus’s shirt was burned off, revealing his finely-tuned athletic body and his magnificent-looking tattoos on his back.

All the ladies started drooling, looking at the finest physique they had ever seen.

“How are you, Klaus?” Nari said, wrapping her right around his neck and pulling him closer. “I missed you, Klaus.”

“I am fine, and I miss you too, Nari,” Klaus responded with a dejected smile. ‘Queenie was right, this woman is crazy.’

“Oh, no longer calling me Big Sister again?” Nari smiled.

“Well, I was trying to save my skin, so I had to appear formal. That said, I will report you to Queenie and make sure she gets revenge for me,” Klaus said, hoping his request would be accepted.

“Tsk, do you think she has what it takes to beat me? I have to remind you, if can easily subdued you; how much more would it take to subdue her?” Nari shamelessly said, hoping Queenie didn’t hear what she said.

Unluckily for her, the Asura Queen was in the void, watching and hearing everything. She was cooked.

Head Instructor Victor and the other instructors, along with every single disciple, couldn’t believe their eyes. They just couldn’t believe what was happening right before them.

The notorious Fire Queen, Nari, was now standing with a mere Grandmaster-stage warrior, and from the way they appeared, they seemed to know each other very well. They couldn’t wrap their heads around it.

Of course, Klaus noticed their expressions and decided to get back at Nari for awkwardly defeating him.

“Head Instructor Victor, I know you’re wondering who this intruder is. Well, her name is Nari, and she calls herself the Fire Queen, not that anyone believes that.

But, well, that’s what makes her happy, so why not? While she is shameless for beating her sister’s Prince Charming, she is also skilled with fire and promises to become a lecturer in the fire department.

I hope there’s a slot for one more teacher.”

Klaus cast the ‘I dare you to beat me up so I can run to my overlord girlfriend and complain. I bet she would love to beat you up for me’ look.

Nari smiled and then looked toward Head Instructor Victor.

“What he said is true. I want to become a lecturer, and Klaus has volunteered as my assistant. I hope there is a slot for us.”

Klaus immediately felt yet another bad premonition.

‘I should run away and never return,’ Klaus gave Head Instructor Victor a weak smile.

“This…” The head instructor didn’t know what to say, or rather, he had no authority to do anything, especially when an Overlord was involved.

He was the leader of the outer section of the academy. His job was to ensure the new outer disciples were catered to and stuck to the rules. He was also to ensure no harm came to any of them.

Aside from that, he was also responsible for ensuring their studies went well and reporting regularly to the dean. That was about his work as the head instructor.

So, getting caught in such a situation was rather awkward and the weakest moment of his life. Also, he was scared of Nari. That’s because he had witnessed first-hand just how terrifying she could be.

Just like him, Nari also fights alone. That was because unless your fire affinity matched hers, you couldn’t stay within a 4km radius of her on the battlefield. That was her radius of intense heat.

He was at a loss for how to proceed.

Luckily for him, the space cracked open then just when he was caught in a corner. A bald man walked through the rift. Head Instructor Victor sighed in relief when he saw the bald fellow.

However, the moment his eyes landed on the bald newcomer, Klaus felt tears start rolling down his face.

“Uncle Monk…” he muttered.
