The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Old Lu and Nari, who were overlooking the battlefield and ready to intervene, were left stunned, shocked, and gobsmacked as they watched the 140-meter-long, incredibly huge, and majestic Fire Dragon breathe fire on the 124 losers sent after Klaus.

They were shocked beyond their wits.

Initially, Nari had been ready to intervene when Klaus was sneak-attacked. However, thanks to her enhanced senses, she stopped herself when she saw Klaus was aware of the danger and dodged.

But she remained prepared to jump in and save him. Old Lu was the same.

To their shock, however, after what seemed like two minutes of monologue, a dragon appeared and began burning them alive.

Ten minutes later, the enemies had all turned to ash or cooked meat.

Then Klaus took the Phoenix Flamefruit and the entire plant before leaving with his friends.

“Just who is this child?” Old Lu wondered as he watched Klaus and his companions leave, heading back to the academy.

Their missions were completed, thanks to the monster battle that had taken place there. They’d found the last item they needed for their final mission, so they left.

“Do you think Klaus will teach me how to turn my fire element into a dragon?” Nari asked, clearly fascinated by the idea of having her own dragon.

“You’re a phoenix, Nari. What do you want a dragon for?” Old Lu shook his head. “In fact, from what I know, dragons and phoenixes aren’t friendly at all.”

“Yeah, well, I don’t care. I want a dragon,” Nari pouted.

‘For someone who doesn’t know what emotions are, you sure know how to show them,’ Old Lu sighed. He was one of the few who knew about Nari’s condition.

“Fine. You and Klaus are practically married; it won’t hurt to ask him. Maybe he’ll teach you,” Old Lu said.

“Tsk, who would marry that shameless pervert?” Nari chuckled.

“Apparently, half the academy. You might want to jump on the wagon next,” Old Lu laughed before opening a rift. In the next second, he was gone from the Forbidden Zone.

“I want a dragon,” Nari said with a glint in her eyes. The next moment, she also disappeared into the rift she created.

The next few days were going to be hard for Klaus, who would be forced to compromise on spending time with his lovers just to pacify an emotionless calamity who didn’t take no for an answer.

“Klaus, do you think this bastard will ever stop sending men to kill you?” Danny asked, clenching his fist.

“I know they will,” Klaus replied. “And knowing them, you guys are in danger now too. It’ll be best if we take on our next missions together.” His words made his friends nod in approval.

Though they had fought and battled Tier 8 half-beasts, humans were a different matter. Humans were intelligent and cunning, making them far more dangerous than the monsters they had faced.

“Klaus, we want to be strong. Please make us strong like you,” Mark said, clenching his fist as well. The battles they had just fought, coupled with the one-sided massacre the dragon had committed, served as a harsh wake-up call.

They were still too weak. They all wanted to become monsters, a thought that made Klaus secretly laugh in his head. He already had plans for all of them.

“Don’t worry, guys. All I want now is for you to become Saints within the next two months. You’re all at the third stage, so it’s only a matter of time before you step into the fourth stage.

Once you’re Saints, I’ll ensure you grow into terrifying monsters. But be ready—girlfriend or not, I won’t show any kindness during the training sessions. So prepare yourselves for anything,” Klaus said with a cute but deadly smile.

All his friends shuddered at the sight of his adorable yet menacing expression. Klaus just laughed and laid his head on Anna’s lap. He was tired, and they had a one-hour ride back to the academy.

A few seconds later, he fell asleep like a baby. His friends continue to discuss their recent battles and how they can train to help Klaus when he needs it.

However, back in the academy, on a rather large field arena, Miguel, Omari, Lucas, and Klaus’s friends—ladies—stood in front of a crowd that numbered in the thousands.

Opposite them stood Mason, Madison, Ella, Ethan, Max, and a few more faces that seemed to glare at Miguel’s group.

“Miguel, are you sure you want to be on that side? The losing side,” Ella said, looking at Miguel, who stood in front of the Yin-Yang Palace faction in what seemed to be a faction battle.

“Don’t sugarcoat it, Ella. I know the losing side when I see it. However, I don’t mind being on the losing side; at least I won’t associate myself with scheming losers like you guys,” Miguel spat on the ground, showing disdain for Ella’s side.

“How adorable. Don’t worry, Klaus isn’t here to save your ass now. It would be best if you don’t fight it.” Ella’s eyes scanned the 1,500 members behind Miguel.

They were the members of the Yin-Yang Palace, the last-ranked faction in the academy. Naturally, they were considered the weakest of the bunch.

However, things were different now.

During the faction selection stage, Klaus, the top ranker in the academy, joined them. This caused chaos in the academy. However, after Hanna and the rest started joining, everyone understood why.

Naturally, Klaus had disrespected the top three factions in the academy when he and Asha openly insulted them for everyone to see.

Because of this, none of the top three factions would take him into their sects.

Also, since the top three were against him, the rest avoided him as well, fearing they might invoke their wrath. Because of this, he was left with only one choice: to join the last-ranking faction.

Of course, being on the losing side means you can’t fall any further.

But that was until three days ago when news of Klaus leaving the academy reached everyone. Since he was gone on a mission, they could challenge his faction in his absence.

This also meant they could poach his faction members and steal them away. It also allowed them to bankrupt his faction.

“Listen, everyone. The Fire Dragon Sect, the Celestial Wind Pavilion, the Sky Phoenix Sanctuary, the Thunder Blaze Sect, and the Earth Shadow Guild are willing to accept you into their factions.

All you have to do is step out and swear your allegiance to these factions, and you will forever be rid of the losing faction in the academy.

And before you start thinking about loyalty and a sense of belonging, know this: these five factions have already challenged your side to a faction battle.

Yes, a faction battle where, if you lose, you will owe us 10 million Celestial points each. This means you’ll be throwing in your monthly points just to keep your faction afloat.

So, better jump ship while we’re offering in peace,” Ella spoke with a sense of contempt, her gaze fixed on the members of the Yin-Yang faction, who immediately felt a bad premonition.
