The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

After their talk, Klaus and Hanna left to spend time with their friends. Klaus had things to do, but for now, he just wanted to relax after such a harrowing and arduous battle inside the trial.

His friends had undergone some changes, and he planned on learning more. His time inside the tower was very dangerous, so now that he is out, he can only relax for a few weeks and access his strength.

The first, of course, was Kilian, who had awakened the most impure flame out there: the Dark Impurity Soul Flame.

This type of flame comes from deep within the soul and burns intensely into it. Klaus, who now possessed a much broader mind, seemed able to comprehend the sudden change that had appeared in his friend.

The flame was both good and bad news for him. But with Klaus around, the flame is now more like good news for him.

He wouldn’t just sit idle and watch his friend get corrupted from within the soul. Kilian has done a good job holding himself back.

It seem his trust in Klaus was rather deep. He knew he was in danger, but he didn’t panic. Instead, he waited for Klaus to come, and now that he was here, he knew he could help him.

The flame was dangerous, but he also came up with a way to help him.

Klaus had now become a very powerful person, and even without checking his upgrades, he could tell he had indeed become a monster. So, he found a way to assist Kilian.

In fact, he found a couple of ways to help all his friends in a way that wouldn’t require him to monitor them closely.

So, when Hanna asked if he had a way to address Kilian’s situation, he could only smile.

“How is the vacation going?” Klaus asked, staring at his friends now inside a training room. This was provided by the nerds, who were currently busy with some stuff related to Oracle, so even Lucil wasn’t around him.

But it was only a matter of time before the overly cheerful Lucil came to dig for more information she could use to empower the Knights of House Klaus.

“Right now, I just want to get back out there and train. Knowing Kilian is even stronger than Sister Lucy doesn’t sit right with me,” Danny said with a determined gaze.

“I have to become strong too.”

“Me too. The previously weak Kilian can’t be that much stronger than me. I have to catch up,” Daniel joined his brute hammer brother, who looked determined and much more centered compared to before he became a Sage.

“Kilian is indeed strong, but the current him cannot go all out without hurting himself in the process. So until then, even Hanna might have a shot at defeating him. But that is just for now. Soon, he will be able to harness his true power.”

Klaus smiled at his friends and could only feel pride.

They had each become a powerhouse. But they could do better. He needed them to do better, and for that to happen, they had to brave the danger.

“So, do you have a way to help him?” Lily asked.

She was worried about her brother when she learned he was holding back his power—not because he couldn’t use it, but because he might get hurt in the process.

That scared her.

“Of course, I have a way. I have a way for each and every one of you to master your current abilities and raise them to your peak level.

You are sages, but the power you have now should be on the level of a Peak Great Sage. And I will help you realize that before heading back to the academy.”

“How are you going to do that… Do you want to spar with us?” Danny asked, already hoping Klaus would say yes. But to his disappointment, Klaus just shook his head.

“I just had a breakthrough, so I can’t spar with you guys. Until I understand just how much I’ve changed, I can only observe from the sidelines.”

I might just accidentally kill you. None of us want that to happen, right?” Klaus asked, and his friends all nodded.

None of them wanted to be that accidental casualty.

“Good. Then why don’t I show you how I will be helping?” Klaus extended his hand, and a Green Ice appeared. It swirled in his hand and then turned into a thick, star-shaped ice block.

“This is one of my Ice elements, Hypnotic Ice. Here, I have created a Hypnotic Ice Star, and now, I will be creating an illusion within it.

“When I am done, and you inject your energy into it, it will send you into a hypnotic illusion reality where you will undergo a series of training exercises that will help you train more actively.

“Of course, I can only create the illusion based on what I know about your skills and techniques.

“But aside from that, if you guys allow me to access your soul, I will be able to make it much better and even allow it to grow as you progress.

“Call it my own personal Oracle. Just know that, inside this illusion, everything will feel real. If you die inside, you will feel the pain, but it will also fortify your mind, making you much more resilient.”

“Is this even possible? I mean, how can you do all this?” Lucy looked at Klaus with eyes full of pride that screamed, ‘That’s my man.’

“You know, if you’re as handsome as me and as capable as me, nothing is impossible,” Klaus replied, and all his friends could do was roll their eyes.

He is growing, but his shamelessness seems to grow in all the wrong ways along with him.

His mom, however, wore a proud expression on her face. It’s clear she is proud of her son’s shamelessness.

“But what I said is the best way out. Take Kilian, for example. Inside this illusion, he will be able to unleash his true strength and then gradually master how to use it in combat without hurting himself in the process.

“Also, unlike Oracle, inside this illusion, you will be able to use your soul weapons. I can even make it so that time inside the illusion moves faster than on the outside.

This will give you more time on the inside to train, while only a couple of hours will pass on the outside. This means that compared to mine, Oracle is much inferior in all aspects.

So, are you guys willing to let me do this?”

Klaus asked after explaining.

“Hell yeah… I want to get stronger, much stronger, so I can duel with you!” Lily was the most enthusiastic. Of course, not all of them looked happy. That was true for Nadia and Asha.

Their classes aren’t for training like the others. But Klaus had already noticed this, and he and the senior had already solved that.

In his eyes, everyone is going to have the chance to grow monstrous. Now that he had awakened his bloodline, the rest would be about how best he would utilize it in the coming battles.
