The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1144: The Awakening (48)

Klaus saw reinforcements from both sides come. However, despite dozens of capable warriors joining them, he knew he couldn’t sigh in relief just yet.

There were still thousands of monarchs left.

However, he wasn’t panicking anymore.

His focus was solely on the six warriors he was fighting.

So far, the masked figure, the ice demon, the supreme human, and the demi-dragon were under control, considering he had adapted to their attacks and even managed to find loopholes in their defenses.

Of course, the masked figure was not someone he could underestimate.

Klaus had his suspicions about him.

He believed what Tifa said was indeed true. The leader was the masked figure, and possibly, she was a realm higher than the rest, meaning there was a chance she was at the Law Core Formation Stage.

However, he also believed the reason why the masked figure hadn’t revealed her true cultivation base was that the laws weren’t bending faster than they should.

They had already sneaked in several Nirvana Stage warriors. That alone was more than what even a twisted law could take.

So, they disguised one of their own as a Nirvana Stage and will later reveal that her true cultivation was being stalled by the laws.

It would take some time for that to happen. Klaus knew he must kill her before that seal was finally lifted.

However, to kill her, Klaus had to first kill the archer and the dragon. The two were proving to be quite annoying.

Klaus was not getting the chance to attack the masked figure simply because the archer kept offloading one arrow after another at him.

Also, the demi-dragon, after Klaus broke his balls, had now turned into a colossal dragon. However, while his spirit weapons kept him locked down, Klaus underestimated how dangerous a dragon really was.

Not all of his weapons had any effect on him, and what was even worse was that he kept trying to get in the way of Klaus attacking the others.

This only keeps provoking Klaus to the point where he wants nothing but for the dragon to drop dead.

The supreme human was also making things hard for Klaus; however, because Klaus could hold his own in close combat, the sneaky bitch wasn’t having as good a time as she would have loved to.

Yet still, to kill the elf and the dragon, Klaus would have to be on the lookout for the demi-lion and the ice demon.

’This can be managed somehow. I just have to keep them contained until Maud is done.’ As expected of Klaus, he wasn’t about to go into battle without a backup plan.

From the start of the battle, Maud, his Death Heart, had been missing, and even now, as the battle had reached its peak, she was nowhere to be seen.

Naturally, Klaus had given her a mission that, if she succeeded, would bring this whole charade to an end. She was Klaus’s last hope, and right now, he was counting on her to deliver.

Klaus never expected Chaos to help him the way he did. However, thanks to the Chaos Dragon, he was now facing the six warriors without getting pressed too much.

Drayk, the demi-dragon, managed to break free from Klaus’s spirit weapons, aiming to launch a powerful attack at him. However, Klaus jumped back only for a powerful arrow to come from the elf, Vraen.

The arrow grazed Klaus’s shoulder because he couldn’t evade it in time. However, he managed to fend off most of the damage thanks to his armor.

Still, only four of the heads were aiding him, which was annoying. However, thanks to the Head of Death being part of his armor, he was getting healed despite being inside the Domain of Death.

’I will blind this motherfucker,’ Klaus cursed inwardly, feeling his body heat up from the poison imbued in the arrow.

[Relax, Paragon, I will get rid of the poison], Nullis, the dragon head of the Void, said. Klaus’s trust in him was absolute, considering he had already saved him from dozens of poisons. So he left this one for him, too.

Klaus’s main focus now was blinding the elf.

The dense spiritual energy caused ripples in the air, and the ground beneath his feet cracked like dry glass. Klaus was absorbing the spiritual qi, and it was being converted to star qi.

This made Klaus’s attacks much more powerful. However, thanks to the death qi he was channeling into his attacks, the six Nirvana Stage warriors weren’t having it easy at all.

Klaus moved fast.

His sword glowed with dark light as he charged at Vraen. The elf, knowing Klaus had set his sights on him, jumped back and fired three arrows in quick succession.

Each arrow carried a deadly Law of Precision. Klaus swung his blade, cutting through two of them. The impact felt in his arm made him tremble.

The third arrow hit his side, but the Head of Death quickly began healing the wound. Inside the Domain of Death, he was the healer.

Up in the air, Klaus saw Drayk change back to his human form.

”His arm will do,” Klaus grinned, knowing that if the dragon lost his arm, he couldn’t use his full form anymore. After all, his arm changed into his wings when he became a full-on dragon.

So Klaus was aiming for that arm too, but first, Vraen had to be blinded.

Klaus dodged a dagger from the masked figure, who, from the start of the battle, hadn’t pulled out her sword. She was merely using daggers, which surprisingly always put Klaus in a tight spot whenever she threw them.

BOOM

The ground shook as Drayk landed behind Klaus, his body radiating immense power.

ROARRRRR

The demi-dragon roared, his claws glowing with molten energy as he lunged with a powerful blow at Klaus.

Klaus spun around and blocked with his blade, but the impact threw him several meters back. A rock, unfortunate to be in his path, shattered when Klaus regained his balance.

”Annoying lizard,” Klaus muttered, then raised his hand.

Five spirit weapons appeared around him—two spears, one sword, and two daggers. Klaus timed it perfectly before unleashing them.

They shot forward, aiming for Drayk’s eyes. The demi-dragon blocked some with his wings, but one spear pierced through the side of his neck, causing him to roar in pain.

He had already suffered so much from these spirit weapons when he was in his full dragon form. Now, he was suffering from them again.

Klaus used that moment to rush forward.

He appeared above Drayk’s head, slashing down with a powerful swing from his jagged sword. Lightning sparked around the blade, forcing its way through his defense as he cut deep into the dragon’s scales.

Klaus didn’t let the moment pass, so he unleashed yet another attack from his spirit weapons—a dagger that connected and stabbed into Drayk’s shoulder.

Blood splattered across the ground.

Drayk swung his tail in rage, hitting Klaus mid-air.

Klaus crashed into the dirt, rolling several times before stopping. Luckily for him, he had seen this outcome and prepared for it.

He controlled some spirit weapons to attack the others, preventing them from ambushing him on the ground.
