The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1113: The Awakening (17)

The Life Stage warrior scans the battlefield and picks Nas as her first target. However, before she could move, the space around her warped, and then she appeared in the void.

“The hell,” she said. She scanned around, but she saw or sensed nobody.

She then tried to open the void and leave; however, she found out she couldn’t. This brought a frown to her face.

“Law of the Void,” she muttered, feeling a bad feeling creep into her body…

“Who is strong enough to wield such mastery over the void from a wash-up world like this?” The mission she signed up for said she would be helping the forces of Planet Nebu attack a wash-up world that doesn’t even have a single Life Stage warrior.

However, she was told the enemy is evil, so she should prepare for anything.

She was prepared for evil, but she wasn’t prepared for the void.

The Law of the Void is a complex law. It has so many technicalities that even the best and the brightest couldn’t boldly say they understood. She herself knew a thing or two about the void; however, she isn’t as versed in it as Nyxthar.

So once Nyxthar trapped her, despite having a superior cultivation base, she couldn’t leave.

“Release me now, or else I will find a way to kill you and everyone you love,” she screamed; however, nobody minded her.

On the outside, the sudden disappearance of the life stage warrior lady drew the attention of the other Life Stage warriors appearing. Noticing it came from Nyxthar, they all avoided him like a plague.

However, they didn’t get far before they also found themselves caught inside the void.

Soon, fourteen Life Stage warriors vanished, causing the rest to pull back, some even returning to Planet Nebu. However, as soon as they reached the crack to cross over, they sensed a force pushing them back.

“What the hell? Why can’t we leave? I came here to loot this world, but I never signed up to be trapped inside the void.”

“Me too. I am not ready to get trapped in the void.”

Despite being Life Stage warriors, they knew the void was their enemy, and so they wanted to leave. However, that was now impossible.

“Join my side, and I will let you leave after the battle. Reject, and the void will be your home for the rest of your life,” Klaus’s voice reached them.

However, they all sneered and even started raining insults on him…

“Do you even think he can trap all of us?” one of the Life Stage warriors, a demon with three horns, asked.

Klaus smirked and replied, “Of course not. He can at most trap forty Life Stage warriors. However, there is no telling what will happen to those who won’t be trapped.”

“What do you mean?”

“Oh, you guys aren’t aware, are you?” Klaus smirked. “This is the awakening war between two worlds.”

The expressions on those who had no idea what they signed up for changed. Some remained the same, but when they heard Klaus’s next words, they froze…

“My world is going to win… After all, you guys are now in the presence of a Paragon.” The grin that appeared on Klaus’s face and the fact that no lightning came from the heavens to obliterate him told them what they all needed to know.

However, before they could say anything, Nyxthar appeared and caught them off guard.

Twenty-six of them vanished into the void, never to be seen again. Then Klaus looked at the remaining ones and said,

“You all are invited to join my side and become enemies of the heavens, or try your best to kill me, for that is the only way you will be leaving here alive.

Of course, to protect my secret, I will have to kill you all if you dare stand against me. So what is it going to be… me or the heavens?”

The cloud churned and locked its gaze on every last Life Stage warrior. Naturally, that was a warning telling them to tread carefully.

Klaus already knew the answer to his question.

He was still weak… so even if he was a Paragon, he wouldn’t have the same strength as the heavens. This meant they would be picking the side of the heavens.

All fifty-four of them picked their side.

The ones left to come wouldn’t have the same offer. But Klaus already planned to kill them all, so this was the best outcome for him.

“Such a pity,” Klaus said, turning around. He spoke to Asmodeus, “Kill them all.”

“With pleasure.”

“Death Composers, take it from the top.” The staff in Asmodeus’s hands turned into a baton. He raised it up, and the fifty-four Life Stage warriors charged at him.

He grinned and looked at Klaus. “I will do my best to return soon.”

“Do your best, Asmodeus; we are all counting on your return.”

“No pressure then,” Asmodeus grinned, and then, like a choir master, the baton moved, signaling the Death Composers to start playing.

TINGGGGGG

The world around the Life Stage warriors changed when the guitarist struck a chord. In an instant, Asmodeus, the Death Composers, and all fifty-four Life Stage warriors vanished, bringing the battle to a complete halt.

“Godspeed, Asmodeus.”

Thanks to the influx of warriors pouring in, Asmodeus was able to complete the requirement to upgrade his Necromancy class.

Once he upgraded it, he received a new ability that allowed him to take a trip to the undead world. However, to get undead beings, he must first inscribe his name onto the Pillar of the Chained Ones.

This meant he needed an army, and just so it happened, Life Stage warriors started to pour out. Thankfully, Klaus was smart, so he found a way to distract them so that Asmodeus could send them with him.

The moment they crossed realms, they all automatically became his undead.

However, since they were going to the undead realm, even Asmodeus could die, so Klaus made sure he took all his undead, including the bone dragons, with him.

Klaus turned and flew toward Queenie and the rest of his trump cards, watching a new batch of Life Stage warriors arrive.

“Kill them all. Not even a single one of them should be left alive.” They nodded and advanced forward, leaving only Klaus and Queenie on the sword.

“So what now?” Queenie asked, watching more of her side dying, and now that Asmodeus was gone, they weren’t coming back from the dead.

“I have to release my beast army. However, since not all of the enemy has arrived, I can’t be emotional and make a rookie mistake.”

“I understand. This means we will have to endure for now,” Queenie watched as a Life Stage warrior charged at Lily, who was protecting Klaus’s mom.

However, before he could reach her, Hanna crossed his path, an arrow pushing him back…

“You all will have to fight with all you have.” Klaus sighed…

“That can be arranged,” Queenie smiled, and then her armor changed, taking on a red look. Her hair also turned blood red, and even her sword turned red.

“I was born for this moment, so I can only answer to my destiny and fulfill what you created me for.” Queenie smiled. “After all, you called us the Children of War.”

Queenie vanished, returning to the battle…

Klaus was left staring at her back…
