The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 885: Plotting Against Skar

After hearing all there is to know about Skar, Klaus nodded with a satisfied grin.

Not only did Skar come out with ten skills mastered to perfection, but he also has an Innate Domain and a rather powerful Soul body—one that can fight on the outside. Of course, doing so is dangerous, but in a controlled environment, a soul body can unleash its brilliance.

Naturally, Soul bodies are often regarded as the perfect spiritual manifestations of a warrior. They are the epitome of perfection, and depending on how intelligent you are, so will your soul body.

However, using them in active combat is where the problem starts to rise. The moment a soul’s body dies, the main body dies too. It’s as simple as that.

This is because the soul body is the soul transformed into an almost tangible form—Spirit Form. It may be powerful, but when damaged or killed, the main body withers away.

However, there are two ways to handle this. Soul bodies are designed to strengthen the main body as they mature to a certain stage.

Skar’s soul body isn’t there yet, but when he gets there, the soul body can augment the main body, raising the strength level to an all-time high. Most warriors use this method—in fact, almost everyone uses it.

That is because it is the most practical way to augment oneself or weapons. Gods do it, as do the supreme and celestial beings.

Of course, the second way is letting the soul body fight on its own.

However, there is another method that has only been theorized but hasn’t been attempted before. The third method involves creating physical bodies for the soul.

It was only a theory, but most experts concluded that it is possible. But so far, nobody has managed to do that. In fact, nobody even tried it because failure means death, and as it stands, people value their lives.

However, if anyone manages to create physical bodies for their soul, they become two people, rather than calling their soul a perfect clone.

The moment the soul gets a body, it can go outside, travel millions of light years away, and live a separate life from the main body.

Of course, there are Perfect Clones that do that too. But the clones are limited. They can learn skills, techniques, combat styles, and even the laws, but they can’t apply 100% of what they learn to the main body.

At best, perfect clones can transfer 70% of what they know to the main body. Most use them to cultivate techniques and skills.

However, a Soul body gives everything to the main body— all their cultivation, in case they rise above the main body. The moment they merge back with the main body, all they know is transferred to it.

Essentially, a soul body, if placed in a safe environment, can cultivate tirelessly while the main body roams freely.

But since sending a soul body away weakens the soul, the moment they build the perfect body for the soul, all limitations will be taken care of.

It is the best way to grow endlessly on two fronts.

However, that was merely a theory, so nobody wants to even consider it. Klaus thought of it in his fourth incarnation and even considered it in this new life… but for now, he can only be happy with what he has.

“Why don’t we spar… Looking at your foundation, I say you can push me to some extent, so let’s spar,” Klaus said excitedly. Of course, Skar grinned.

“You make it sound like you’re stronger than me, master.”

“You may be perfect, but not spotless… I will reveal them soon enough,” Klaus said, opening the door to the outside.

He walked out and appeared in the large room where most of his friends were. Skar, of course, swaggered out, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

“Everyone, this is Skar… He will be joining the team from here onwards.” All of them nodded and flashed Skar a welcoming smile.

Skar waved at everyone. “I am happy to join the team.”

Nyxthar sauntered over and stopped before Skar, measuring him from head to toe before turning to look at Klaus. “His law comprehension is advanced, but weak. Master, why don’t you let me dismantle him and rebuild him?”

Nyxthar said with a smile, causing both Klaus and Skar to smile in return.

“His Law is indeed weak. That is because he only mastered the Flame Law to 25%. His main law, the Space Law, is still at 2%.

You’ve already reached 25% in Void Law, and the Darkness Law is at 45%.

Naturally, you are stronger than he, so why don’t I, who doesn’t have much comprehension of the laws, dismantle him instead?

I need to stretch my muscles and see if he can push me to use half of my strength.”

“That is okay with me. But I will still dismantle him after you fracture him.” Nyxthar grinned, and Klaus shared in his ideology.

Skar suddenly felt like prey standing before two predators. ‘I need to wipe the smug off their faces, Master or not.’

Standing not far away, Veylor smirked. “They started already, two maniacs who only know battle.”

“Now that I think about it, Nyxthar was the only one Master sparred with back then. It was like the remaining six of us were merely teammates.”

“Tsk, annoying. Nyxthar even said one time back then that Master Promise would take him to the Underworld to take the Death Trial and become a true Death Knight, one recognized by Yama.”

“I say we gang up on him and beat the crap out of him. If the two of us can’t do it, we’ll wait for Unik and Benna to join us, and even if that isn’t enough, once Yaw and Hans are reunited with us, we can handle him well.” Eren clenched her fist, looking in Nyxthar’s direction.

Slowly, Nyxthar turned and gave them a wide grin.

“Bastard…”

Klaus and Skar moved over to the plain field to spar, which, in Skar’s mind, was about to be a battle of perfection. One, he would have to show everyone why they called him Skar, the Flame Reaper.

Everyone moved to watch a good battle… a spar.
