The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 423 Making Friends...The Hard Way

The one who asked the question was a handsome young man with silver-green hair. Beside him stood two other young men with short dark hair.

They looked alike, which suggests they were brothers, but it was hard to tell which one was older. One was shorter than the other, but sometimes height can be deceiving.

With these three was another young man, bald but still handsome. He looked calmer than the first three.

Then, there was a fiery, pale-looking lady among them who locked eyes with Klaus as they walked toward him. Clearly, the five of them meant no friendly intentions as they approached him.

Well, they are sovereigns...

”So, you are the intruder,” Lycos, the silver-green-haired guy, said.

”That depends on how you see it,” Klaus replied with a smile. ”First, I didnʼt intrude; I was brought here. And second, why the hostility? Itʼs not like Iʼm some kind of monster here.”

”You think this is funny?” Lycos glared at Klaus, making sure his anger was clear through his eyes. He was furious, very furious.

After all, Klaus had stolen his woman. Who wouldnʼt be mad about that?

”First of all, my name is Klaus, and Iʼm not an intruder, nor do I care what this is. Iʼm just a normal human who has visited the moon,” Klaus said, still wearing the same smile.

He turned toward Lycos and asked, ”Why do you keep staring at me like Iʼve stolen your woman?”

Clearly, Klaus shouldnʼt have asked that question. The moment he did, Lycosʼs Sovereign-stage aura burst from his body, and his face turned green with fury. Even those with him felt the pressure and took a few steps back.

”You dare...” Lycos snarled, taking a step toward Klaus. Klaus stood there, expressionless. No one could tell if he was affected by the aura or not, he just stood still.

Onlookers quickly pulled out their phones, recording the moment Lycos and his group approached Klaus. It was clear they were eager to see where this would go. Word had spread quickly that Klaus was seen outside after weeks on the moon.

Since he was unconscious for the past week, nobody has seen him outside.

”A weakling like you dares take my woman?” Lycos said arrogantly as he marched toward Klaus, clearly feeling he had the upper hand.

A Sovereign—of course, he would be this arrogant. In his eyes, Klaus was just a mere Grandmaster bug. He knew his aura alone was enough to teach him a lesson.

However, something unexpected happened. Just when he felt was gaining the upper hand, Klaus moved, locking eyes with him and grinning.

”So that is what all this is about. Youʼre mad because Ohema chose me and not you. How typical...” He shook his head like it was the most normal thing in the world.

”Donʼt worry, Iʼm not judging you. I have some of you in my world—jealous fellows with no strength to do anything.”

Klaus said it with a casual shake of his head, but inside, he was startled by how quickly his energy had canceled out Lycosʼs suppression.

Lycos and his friends immediately paled when they saw how casually Klaus spoke under Lycosʼs suppression.

They were not like Miguel and the others, who didnʼt know when to stop. On the moon, every one of them had fought monsters in life-and-death battles.

The moon was far more dangerous than Earth, and they knew when to fear something and when to act arrogant. Right now, they were scared of Klaus.

The reason was simple: in the level ranking, Lycos was a Level 3 Sovereign, and they were all Level 2 Sovereigns. However, whenever they battle, Lycos always suppresses them with his aura.

But now, standing before them, a mere Grandmaster was acting as if the aura did not affect him.

Subconsciously, they all took a few steps back. They were scared.

Klaus wasnʼt an idiot; he knew they were scared, but who was Klaus, if not someone who thrived on mischief?

He smirked and decided to have a little fun.

Boom!

His tyrannical slaughter aura burst out, immediately suppressing the five in front of him. He wasnʼt using it at full capacity—mainly because he didnʼt know how powerful it had become—but it was enough to overwhelm them completely.

”Why donʼt we take it from the top again?” He began to take steps forward, leaving frozen steps with every footstep.

”My name is Klaus Hanson. I am a human, and currently, I am the strongest person on Earth,” Klaus said with a smile, knowing his lie was already heard by some people, who were now smiling at his mischief.

”And yes, I am just a Grandmaster stage expert, and yes, I do have the power to kill all five of you, and yes, I can kill you five right now without lifting a finger.”

He paused for a moment, his smile widening.

”However, Iʼm kind of a stranger here since my wife decided to fake sleep so she wouldnʼt have to escort me around this place. Talk about a good wife these days”

”Thankfully, I met you five, and from just a glance, I can tell weʼre destined to be friends. So, Iʼm going to withdraw my aura, and then weʼll start again, but this time by introducing ourselves.”

”How does that sound?” he asked, now standing right next to Lycos, who immediately nodded, his already pale face growing even paler.

”Great. Who would like to start first?” Klaus said, releasing his aura.

The five Moon Borns took a few steps back, distancing themselves from Klaus as they gasped for breath. Clearly, Klaus had left an impact.

”Iʼll start again. I am Klaus Hanson, human, and I use the sword and Spirit Weapons,” Klaus said, looking at Lycosʼs group.

”I am Lycos Newman, I am Moon Born, and I use the staff and wand,” Lycos said, his expression still fearful.

”Oh, a mage, how exciting,” Klaus said with a smile. He then turned to the bald fellow.

”I am Zayn. I was also born Moon Born, and I use the gauntlet.”

”A brawler, huh? I have some uncles who are basically brawlers through and through. Youʼd love them,” Klaus smiled, picturing Uncle Ziggy and the rest of his wild uncles.

”I am Tarn; I use the sword,” the next guy introduced himself.

”Are you the eldest or the tall one?” Klaus asked. Tarn was the shorter one, looking eerily similar to his brother.

”I am the eldest,” Tarn answered.

”I knew it,” Klaus muttered with a smile.

”I am Dren; I also use the sword,” Tarnʼs little brother introduced himself, looking calmer than the rest. Klaus could tell he wasnʼt there by choice; his friends had made him come along.

”And you, fairy, what is your name?” Klaus turned to the lady with them.

”I am Vela, I use the spear,” she said, but Klaus could tell she was holding back more information. Of course, he didnʼt care. The mischief would continue.

”Well, Lycos, Zayn, Tarn, Dren, and Vela, nice meeting you. And as I said earlier, Iʼm a stranger here. Since weʼre all good friends now, Iʼd like to trouble you to give me a tour of some of the best places in this amazing world.”

Klaus said this with a small smile that said a lot. Of course, the five Sovereigns were in no position to refuse. As Klaus had said, he could kill them before they even knew what happened.

”Great, then we can start at that restaurant. Iʼm starving,” Klaus said, placing his hand on Lycosʼs shoulder as they began moving toward the Green Life Restaurant.

The onlookers watching were all stunned by the unexpected turn of events.
