The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The Universal God narrowed his eyes at Rhazor, and for a moment, the thought of attacking him crossed his mind. However, just then, a dragon roar came from the distance, and a wave of terrifying pressure descended upon everyone.

Turning sideways, everyone saw a Lava Dragon soar into the air, radiating the power of a Universal God.

Even the Universal Gods present felt their backs break into a cold sweat when Amaru soared through the air and later landed beside Rhazor.

It looked like whatever happened to Klaus’s beast companions on the moon had also happened to her.

She had now become a Universal God, standing at the Medium level. However, the aura around her was no weaker than that of a True Supreme.

The moment she landed on Rhazor’s side and transformed, the idea of crossing him was wiped from the Universal God’s mind.

He understood with absolute certainty that, against all odds, there was no way he would be able to succeed in his endeavours.

But then again, even if he was stupid, the mere fact that a few days ago, Rhazor had been just an Immortal Monarch, but had now become a Demigod, was enough to tell him not to be a fool.

Rhazor had proven to everyone that he was no pushover, and now that he had touched divinity, there was just no way he would allow anyone to mess around.

Seeing the Universal God retreat, Rhazor smirked.

”Tsh, what a coward.”

The man heard him, but aside from gritting his teeth and clenching his fist, he didn’t even turn back.

Amaru shook her head and turned to Rhazor.

”Congratulations on your breakthrough and ascension to the realm of us dragons. How do you feel, my Lord?”

”I feel amazing, Amaru.” Rhazor smiled happily. ”I’ve transformed into dragons before, but this is the first time I have personally awakened a dragon bloodline. This is amazing.”

Amaru nodded with a proud smile. Although she had met many dragons in her life, meeting a dragon she had no idea existed made her wonder just how many impossible things could happen around the paragon.

A Vampire Dragon had never existed before. In fact, the power around Rhazor felt like he was drenched in the blood of ancient primordial beasts whose power rivalled or even surpassed the heavens.

Then again, she had no idea that the dragon side of Rhazor’s bloodline came from the Third Reincarnation Cycle of this universe and that it had been extracted from a beast who once stood among the ranking beings that came against this universe and won, hence the reset.

But even that wasn’t the most chilling part. The Vampire side of his bloodline was a one-of-a-kind bloodline created by one of the Paragon Stars.

Now, these two bloodlines had merged and mutated into one of the most dangerous combinations the universe had ever witnessed.

Others might not see it, but Amaru could clearly see the kind of monster Rhazor had become.

”I can see you have also become a Universal God, Amaru. Congratulations to you, too,” Rhazor said, and Amaru nodded.

”Thank you, My Lord. It was all thanks to you.”

Rhazor nodded and then grabbed hold of the Flame Dao Crystal. The moment he did, he sensed a wave of power coursing through his body.

Messages about his flame elements improving flooded his vision, causing a grin to form at the corner of his lips. He could sense it. Just by holding the Flame Dao Crystal, he was improving.

Inside his soul sea, his four Flame Spirits, now closer to twenty-year-old adults, sat in the lotus position, their bodies radiating the overwhelming power of Demigods.

So far, among Klaus’s array of powerful forbidden elements, they had become the strongest. This made them even more dangerous, and, to be frank, even Klaus hadn’t seen them coming.

In his 8th incarnation as Kaden, he had only managed to awaken them, and in his final moments, he had awakened their Flame Spirits. However, they had now become adults, which, given their intelligence stats, made them extremely dangerous.

Now, the moment Rhazor grabbed hold of the Flame Dao Crystal, their various flame marks appeared on their foreheads, causing ripples of power to explode from their bodies and spread throughout the entire soul sea.

”Who dares take what is mine?!”

Suddenly, a voice came from the distance, followed by a powerful pressure.

Rhazor, who was admiring the Flame Dao Crystal, raised his head and saw a muscular man clad in golden futuristic armour, wielding a large hammer, flying in his direction, creating sonic booms behind him.

His brow furrowed as he sensed a dangerous aura coming from this man. However, no panic appeared in his eyes. In fact, he seemed happy as he sensed the battle intent radiating from the man approaching.

’His name is Ankhos, ranked 602 on the Ancient God Chart. You should be careful,’ Nyrela suddenly spoke, directing her voice into Rhazor’s head as she hovered before her carriage, having lost the race to the Flame Dao Crystal.

Rhazor turned and looked at her for a moment. As their gazes met, he could tell Nyrela wasn’t happy with the outcome of the battle. However, she had no choice but to retreat.

Rhazor smiled and nodded at her.

’Don’t worry. Just tell your mother what I told you, and she will even thank you. That said, when you are ready to go back to the Ancient Battlefield, let me know. I would like to join you.’

She said nothing, but Rhazor gave her his contact details. Then his attention snapped back to Ankhos, who was merely dozens of kilometres away.

”Should I handle him?” Amaru asked, but Rhazor shook his head.

”No, let me see how strong a dragon can be.”

His expression turned sinister, and without waiting for Ankhos, he took to the air in his demi-human form.

All anyone saw was a crimson blur that left streaks of blood and flame in its wake. Then, as if it was never meant to happen, a painful scream spread through the air.

”AAARRRGGGHHHH!”

Ankhos came blazing in like a raging beast, expecting his pressure to suppress Rhazor. However, just before he could get within two kilometres of Rhazor, the newly ascended dragon moved.

The next second, a metallic fist slammed into his stomach.

The sheer force behind that punch was so overwhelming that Ankhos felt his insides shift violently, forcing out a scream he never knew an accomplished warrior like himself could produce.

”Relax, buddy. That was only twenty percent of my strength.”

Rhazor grinned.

”Now allow me to see how much stronger I have become.”

His fist moved again, and this time it connected with Ankhos’s left ribs, creating a sickening cracking sound. Instinctively, many spectators clutched their own ribs, causing Amaru to smile.

’My Lord, there are many more coming. Should I intercept them?’ she transmitted to Rhazor.

’Relax, Amaru. I’m not sure Ankhos can handle my punches, so the more the merrier.’

Rhazor landed yet another punch with his left hand, cracking Ankhos’s right ribs as well.

Ankhos coughed up blood, and his legs shook uncontrollably, making it clear that he had already been defeated.

However, Rhazor didn’t even care.

Grabbing hold of Ankhos, he hurled him high into the air. Then, as Ankhos fell back toward the ground, Rhazor’s body began to move.

His legs, shaped like dragon talons and clad in metallic boots, spun through the air in a devastating somersault kick.

BOOM!

The kick landed squarely on Ankhos’s body, sending him drilling into the ground like a meteor.

The earth exploded on impact, forming a massive crater instantly.

”Next.”

Rhazor turned just in time to catch an arrow.

Then—

BOOOOOM!

The arrow exploded directly in his face, causing a God Emperor in the distance, holding a bow, to grin in triumph.
