The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 871: Savage Battle (9)

”Who are these two fiends?” The Oracle cursed, staring at two gray stars moving across her map. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t decide where to place them or even plot against them.

The two she was talking about were Nirvana and her brother Fury.

They were in their dragon form, and the only thing they had been doing since the start of the battle was spraying fire on as many Zombies as they could.

Klaus wasn’t controlling them, so it was their own thinking, and so far, they had caused so much chaos that Klaus or the Oracle controlling the battle couldn’t place their finger on...

Fury was doing more harm in the most agonizing way possible.

Since his True form is the Soul Fury flame, all his attacks were aimed at the soul, and since the Zombies weren’t known for possessing robust souls, all his attacks were just too lethal.

Whenever his flames land on a zombie, the painful cry coming from them is just too much for the normal ear to hear...

But Nirvana wasn’t falling behind either. They were both at the stage of Perfect Harmony in flame control, which in this case made them the perfect version of themselves.

Of course, this also raised their strength to an insane level. Although their attacks may not seem significant, the effect was something one would rather not experience.

Klaus, who was using part of his mind to track his flame elements, which, as it stood now, might actually be his first two children of many to follow, of course, that would be ironic...

But watching them go crazy, he just didn’t know what to say. He felt proud... almost as proud as a father...

’Fuck, am I feeling proud of my children?’ Klaus’s cheeks turned red as he evaded a powerful sword attack from the savage king.

He wasn’t really paying much attention to that loser, but at least he was helping Klaus get a handle on his techniques, especially his movement technique.

But paying attention to his two flame dragons was much more entertaining than he thought. Of course, as a concerned father, he was ensuring that all surprise attacks were dealt with before they could reach his children.

So basically, Nirvana and Fury were giving the Oracle a hard time.

”Everything on the battlefield should be within my control, so long as they appear in my Battle Star Map. So why are these two not getting affected? It’s as if they’re not even alive or people...”

She wondered and then turned to a few stars.

Two of those stars belonged to Kay and Lulu, who, instead of appearing as dark stars, were turning golden. And they weren’t the only ones whose star representation was turning golden.

There were a few more than that.

One of the said stars was Kathy, Hanna’s best companion. She was clad in her golden armor and wielding her golden spear.

However, while that made her look more striking than in regular clothes, what she was doing on the battlefield seemed to turn her from beauty to a Fiend.

She had already killed ten Tier 11 beasts, and surrounding her now were 6 Tier 11... However, instead of being pressed, she wore a smile on her lips as she weaved between their attacks, killing as if it were the most normal thing to do.

Her star was turning golden, which meant she was a variable in the battle that, if not handled, would become a headache.

The Oracle could use her ’Battle Star Map’ to manipulate her battle flow, but it wouldn’t affect her. Though she hadn’t become completely golden yet, it meant she could, which is bad news for the zombies.

However, no matter how many zombies the Oracle sent her way, she always managed to find a way out. It was like she wasn’t even getting affected.

But it wasn’t just her—Eren and Veylor were turning golden too. They weren’t getting too overwhelmed to the point of struggling, but they weren’t having an easy time either.

Eren was the elusive shadow ripping life; it was a typical Tuesday, while Veylor was the Flame Lord, the Flaming Bowman, whose arrows never miss.

It was safe to say that taking the Savage King off the board made Klaus’s side gain some sense of control over the battlefield.

However, two people were pure gold.

This meant, for them, it didn’t matter how hard she tried; the Oracle wouldn’t be able to control the events around them.

One was Hanna, who was hovering in the air with 30 Divine Clones of herself made out of lightning. Around her, piles of zombies from Tier 8 to Tier 10 littered the area.

But they weren’t the only dead zombies or beasts on the battlefield. There were five Tier 11 that had fallen to Hanna’s arrow.

Since the second seal on the Skybound Bow had awakened, all her attacks were just too lethal. In fact, one of the best gifts Hanna had received after she became an Ascendent was the second seal on the Skybound Bow breaking.

So, despite her clones being relatively weak compared to a real Ascendents, the arrows coming from the Clone versions of the Skybound Bow were enough to overwhelm the zombies.

This made Hanna 31 Ascendent warriors in a single body. That wasn’t something the Oracle could control, and she knew that, so she wasn’t trying to.

The other warrior to have turned pure gold was Abyss. As a being with the bloodline of the Machine race running through his veins, battles like this were mere playgrounds for him.

The giant mecha stood tall, a dome covering his body as weapons—dozens of them—appeared all over, firing relentlessly.

Lasers shot from his eyes, while laser beams erupted from his shoulders, coming from miniature cannons mounted there.

But those weren’t the only guns he was firing. He unleashed drone-like weapons—tiny drones, but they were all over the battlefield, killing with no regard for zombie life.

However, thanks to the dome around him, all attacks coming from the zombies were blocked. Even the zombies that tried to get close to him were incinerated when they attempted to breach the dome.

Basically, Abyss remained unmoving, and that alone was enough to make him a gold star on the ’Battle Star Map’.
