The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus stood still, the jade token shining in his grip.

“Fucking Yama, why always play with me when you could have just helped me with no strings attached?”

Klaus’s eyes turned bloodshot as he looked at the token in his palm.

After a few contemplations, he vanished from where he stood and decided to get back to the underworld token later.

***

Meanwhile, somewhere in the underworld, King Yama sat on his bone throne watching a Klaus locked in fierce combat… The sight of the once mighty paragon now struggling to handle two Nirvana stage warriors made him grin from ear to ear.

“No need to fight it, Paragon. At the end of the day, it is whether you want to live or die… knowing you, you would want to live and get your revenge on the hateful heavens.

So playing my little game is only natural, don’t you think?”

He grinned, a mischievous look painting his face. Watching people suffer is his entertainment, so watching Klaus suffer, knowing who he is, Yama couldn’t help grinning.

What is even better is that many people are dying on Klaus’s side, and he knew one day, the Paragon would come to him asking for a favour.

In a way, he is in the best of moods.

Suddenly, his expression turned dull, and he turned to his left, his gaze piercing through the void…

When his gaze landed on the person looking at him, he smirked and grinned nervously… “It is just a little fun, no need to be uptight about it, Monkey”

After saying that, he turned back to watching Klaus struggle.

***

Back on the battlefield, Klaus’s full focus was on killing either the Nirvana Stage warrior from the Nethran race, considering Chaos had already killed two Monarchs from the same race, and the rest were almost at death’s door.

However, just when he was about to decide, a figure clad in dark armor moved across the battlefield, catching his attention.

Initially, Klaus didn’t panic, knowing the direction the person was going would spell doom for them. After all, he had set up many formations around the pagoda.

However, Klaus soon realized he was wrong.

Perhaps this person had some form of ability that shielded him from formations.

He became the first to get close to the pagoda, where Jane was actively manipulating the battlefield, and Klaus’s own mom was hiding away from danger

Just when Klaus was about to make a move to intercept, the Nirvana Stage Angel warrior he was facing unleashed an attack that required Klaus to focus on that.

He immediately issued an order for Lily to intercept, since she was the fastest. However, Lily was surrounded, and if she teleported and left, Amelia would be in trouble.

“Damn it,” Klaus cursed, and then he channeled a little death qi into his sword and unleashed a powerful attack, meeting the sword of the Angel man.

Klaus then tried to move away and handle the warrior heading toward the pagoda.

But he was intercepted, and then he was forced to halt his advance.

“Damn it.”

If he were to form a clone, the least he could do was block the Life Stage warrior for two seconds. But that would be too little time for him to change anything.

“I got it.”

Suddenly, a voice Klaus never wanted to hear came from the pagoda, causing his anxiety to reach the red meter.

His mom, whom he was happy to have finally placed inside the pagoda, appeared holding a spear. Then, without waiting for Klaus to shout at her and send her packing, she moved and intercepted the Life Stage warrior.

As someone whose armor was what made her have the power of a Nether Stage warrior, facing someone two realms above her was not recommended.

But she didn’t mind and clashed with the Life Stage warrior, who didn’t even put much effort into his attack but sent her flying.

However, she got back on her feet and moved. This time, she sped up a little, and the pattern she moved in was also different. In fact, the patterns started to change as she moved.

The Life Stage warrior, who wasn’t having a friendly time with her movement, came to a halt and unleashed his domain, immediately trapping the poor woman.

Klaus’s mom found herself trapped inside the domain, waiting to be killed. However, through her strange movements, she managed to waste the Life Stage warrior’s time by seven full seconds.

That was more than enough time for Klaus to break free from the bind he was in and form a clone to come to her rescue.

“Die, bitch!”

The Life Stage warrior, who had had enough, shouted, stabbing his sword toward her chest. However, the cheeky woman who knew her son would pull her ear for risking her life smirked and pointed behind him.

“My son is behind you, punk.”

The clone Klaus sent split into two and grabbed the Life Stage warrior by the shoulder…His mom then pointed at the life stage warrior’s forehead.

BOOM

She mouthed the word just when a beam of water fired out and drew a hole through his head.

“Easy peezy.”

“Go back inside…NOW,” Klaus commanded, and the shameless woman who had just killed a Life Stage warrior at the risk of her own life smirked but entered the pagoda, where a Sylvan healer was immediately pulled away from the battlefield to heal her.

Back on the battlefield, Klaus smiled, a little proud expression appearing on his face…

’Like mother, like son, I guess.’

The moment he said that, Icon spoke…

⟪Master, Chaos has sent a gift that can allow you to open the gateway to harness your true bloodline instead of waiting till it is 100% awakened.⟫

’Really?’

⟪Yes. All you need now is to kill one of the Nirvana Stage warriors and let the others handle the other one. The earlier you get this done, the better.⟫

’I see.’

In that very moment, just when Klaus was starting to contemplate how to go about killing one of the Nirvana Stage warriors, Chaos’s Sword Array, which he had been observing, activated and locked down the Nirvana Stage Angel lady he was fighting.

’Interesting…’

Klaus said inwardly, and then he started observing. Five minutes later, he saw the portals start to glow again…

Out of nowhere, two beams came from two portals.

One locked on Queenie, and the other locked on the array.

’Mom, use Icarus against the beam!’

Klaus wasn’t even done when a red beam came from the clouds and collided with the beam. Then he observed as Chaos also defended against the beam aimed at him.

’Time to kill this scum… then go handle my bloodline.’

Klaus turned his focus to the Nirvana Stage Nethran warrior, and then he turned into a blood mist. It will drain him, but he knew things had to change.

The next second, the bastard coughed up blood, and his head exploded, sending blood mist flying everywhere.

It was all too sudden; the moment it happened, Klaus was gone.

“I guess it’s you and me now,” Miriam, who had been informed by Klaus of his plan, activated the Supreme Gem, allowing her to fight for two hours unrestricted.

An hour later, the pagoda shook, announcing Klaus had succeeded. However, that celebration was overshadowed when the sky started to change and more portals started to open…
