The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

“Ahh!” Klaus screamed, jumping down from his bed.

“Nari, what are you doing?” he asked, staring wide-eyed at Nari, who stood with fire coiling around her arm, her gaze fixed on him as if he’d done something wrong.

It had been five days since the battle between Anna and Ruby. Over those days, Klaus had spent most of his energy healing Anna, who had remained unconscious for four days.

She had suffered a backlash from her final attack during the duel, forcing Klaus to use his superior energy—Star Qi—to heal her. He had worked tirelessly for four days straight, only stopping when she finally woke up.

Exhausted, he’d come back to his room to rest, only to wake up to the sight of Nari crazily looking at him while he slept. The look in her eyes wasn’t friendly at all.

“Calm down. I was just checking to see if you were still alive,” Nari replied, her expression unbothered and vaguely righteous.

“I’m fine. Now, can you put the fire away?” Klaus said warily.

He wasn’t entirely sure why she was staring daggers at his sleeping face, but one thing was certain—if he hadn’t woken up when he did, he probably would have regretted it.

“A new rule: never stare at someone while they’re sleeping. It’s creepy,” Klaus muttered as he shuffled into the bathroom.

“Tsk, what an uptight person,” Nari huffed, crossing her arms. “I guess I made the right choice pairing him with Big Sister—they’re both uptight.”

Minutes later, Klaus walked out and started dressing.

“Hey, Klaus, what are those tattoos on your back? Every time I see them, they seem to change somehow,” Nari asked, moving closer to him and brushing her fingers across the tattoos on his back.

“They’re not normal tattoos, that’s all I can say. And please, stop brushing your hands on my back. Also, go put some clothes on; nobody wants to stare at you half-naked all day,” Klaus replied, hurriedly putting on his clothes.

“I’m going to visit Anna now.” Before Nari could protest, Klaus vanished from the room, leaving her gritting her teeth.

“What a hateful brat. Ah, I’ll get him in his sleep tonight,” Nari muttered before entering the bathroom.

Klaus reappeared at Anna’s apartment, where Hanna, Lily, and Lucy tended to her while he was asleep. He stood outside the room momentarily, sighed, and let a small smile cross his face before stepping inside.

When Anna used her final move during the duel, something strange happened to Klaus. The Paragon Mark, which had been dormant for a while, suddenly activated a new ability: teleportation.

So far, he had only used this ability to teleport near Anna. Despite not having the Paragon Mark, he could teleport within 100 meters of her.

He racked his brain for a possible explanation, but nothing made sense. He hadn’t had sex with Anna yet, so she shouldn’t possess the Paragon Mark.

This meant she couldn’t use telepathic communication or benefit from the other perks associated with the mark.

Yet, he was able to use Anna as an anchor for teleportation. Naturally, he sensed three other anchors, which was expected since he had already been intimate with them.

With Anna, however, he had not crossed that threshold, meaning she shouldn’t function as an anchor. Klaus knew it wouldn’t be that simple, so he continued puzzling over the anomaly until the answer finally clicked.

The fact that he hadn’t had sex with Anna in this life didn’t mean it hadn’t happened in his past one. This could only mean that Anna became an anchor and awakened this ability for him because they had been intimate somewhere in the past.

It also meant Fruity wasn’t the monk Klaus had thought him to be.

“That old bastard,” Klaus muttered with a smirk as he walked into the room where Lucy, Lily, Hanna, and Anna were chatting.

“Ladies,” Klaus called out, prompting three of them to leap toward him.

“It’s good to see you’re doing well, Anna,” Klaus said, holding her close.

The past few days had been dark for him. According to the healers, she had suffered from severe qi deprivation, and they estimated it would take her months to wake up.

Fortunately, the senior had found a way. This accelerated her recovery significantly by tapping into Klaus’s infinite expanse of Star Qi.

“Thank you, Klaus. Whatever you did to me, I feel stronger. I’ve even advanced to the third stage. Just one more, and I’ll become a Saint!” Anna said with a determined smile.

“Congratulations, Anna,” Klaus said, kissing her cheek.

“Ruby has declared she will challenge me again in two weeks,” Anna muttered with a slight smirk. “Next time, I will indeed drag her face through the mud,” she added, puffing her chest proudly.

“Yeah, well, take it easy on her. She might lose it if she gets defeated again,” Klaus replied, smiling before turning to Lily.

“I heard the third ranker challenged me before you got the chance to face him. Don’t worry, I’ll defeat him and push him down two levels. This will make Anna the third ranker. Then you can challenge him and take the fifth spot.”

“Okay,” Lily sighed.

“Of course, if you can defeat Paula, the summoner girl, you can go for the fourth-ranked. That would also be good.”

“She has one Tier 7 and three Tier 6 intelligent monsters under her command. I don’t think I can handle her,” Lily replied.

“She challenged me yesterday. I’ll wait until you reach fifth before defeating her. That way, you’ll climb to fourth. But after two weeks, she’ll probably rechallenge you,” Hanna said casually.

“Don’t worry; in two weeks’ time, I’ll make sure you two are prepared to handle anything,” Klaus said in a tone that only Lucy seemed to understand. It made her blush slightly.

“Lily, let’s give these two lovebirds some alone time,” Anna teased as she dragged Lily and Hanna away, leaving Klaus and Lucy alone in the room.

“Finally, some alone time,” Lucy said, jumping on Klaus. It took just a few minutes for their clothes to come undone.

Soon, Klaus Paragon Rod entered her body and began thrusting.

Her sweet moans filled the room. Klaus hadn’t had much time on his hands during the two weeks they spent together, so now that she was around, he could only use the time to have fun.

Lucy, who hadn’t had Klaus touch for months, has been hungry for his divine rod since arriving in the academy. So now that he had some time with him, she wouldn’t let him go for the next 8 hours.

In the end, the two fell asleep after the intense bonding session. Klaus, who seemed to have been cursed to fall asleep, easily entered a deep state of sleep, only waking up the next day when he felt Lucy’s lips around his dragon.

After exchanging greetings, they resumed their bonding session for another three hours until it was time for both of them to go to class.

Klaus left for Spirit Master Class, and Lucy returned to the Inner Section with a satisfied smile, which made a certain Dagger Queen jealous, forcing her to gather the courage and take the next step with Klaus.
