The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1201: Void Vortex

Hearing about Klaus’s new and overpowered passive skill had left his three wives in shock. Passive abilities mostly affect one’s attributes.

It never gives them the means to become overpowered void energy manipulators.

Klaus is the first — and, well, he will be the only one.

The idea that he can casually manipulate the void is already enough to tell what kind of monster he has become.

”So if I get this straight, your passive skill gave you an attribute called Magic, which has a boost of 50,000% when used inside the void.

Now, this magic attribute allows you to harness the power of the void into attacking at will, well provided you have the brain capacity to comprehend it.

However, you also have a passive ability called [Void Mind] that makes you immune to all mental dangers of the void.

Granted, you already have the [Hivemind] with 450 minds, so basically, your brain power now has the perfect way to be used while inside the void.

All you have to do is think it and it will manifest... Is that what has become of you?” Vida Stronghold asked.

Klaus grinned...

”It is a little more complex and amazing than that, but yes, I suppose.”

”Unbelievable.”

For some reason, Klaus could tell there was more to the Void Heart passive skill than he had discovered yet.

In fact, he could sense something more powerful just hidden beneath the surface, and now that he had started harnessing some aspect of its true ability, he was slowly sensing it.

”Let’s just keep hunting. I want to reach the High Affinity level, so more hunting, I suppose.”

The ladies looked at him for a few seconds before Hanna shrugged and said, ”I really don’t know what kind of monster you are. How come the heavens hate you, yet they always give you the best things?”

Klaus smirked, feeling ridiculous at what Hanna said. ”My skill has no bearing on the heavens. They wish they had it, but no, it is not from them, and I will never accept anything from them unless I have to steal it.”

Feeling satisfied with his answer, the ladies nodded and decided to head much deeper into the void region.

There was no need to debate who got what. They were there to grow stronger, and so far, they had started walking down that path, which was a blessing for them.

”I spot seven Domain Stage and three Life Stage Wraiths coming at us,” Hanna said, watching the blue-eyed and green-eyed Wraiths move at incredibly high speed toward them.

”Allow me to test my newly created skill on them,” Klaus said, and his wives nodded.

Soon, Klaus could sense the Wraiths coming at him from six miles away. ’Looks like I can sense up to 6 km away now, just that I can’t see. I am still limited to only two miles ahead.’

Klaus seemed happy about the prospect of sensing more deeply. Now, he could tell when the enemy was coming from six miles away.

’I must find a way to fix this perception issue.’

When the thirteen Wraiths entered the two-mile radius, Klaus finally saw them, and so he made his move.

He snapped his fingers, and at once, forty spears appeared in the air. They were much thicker and denser than when he first formed them.

This is a clear indication that his mind is still comprehending the void, and soon, he will be able to unleash even more lethal attacks with a mere snap of his finger.

Klaus noticed the change and smiled. He gestured forward, and the four spears moved.

The Wraiths saw the attacks coming and moved to evade; however, Klaus, who was still in the learning phase, used his mind to control the spears, driving them through their chests.

”I am a spirit master, bugs,” Klaus grinned. As a spirit master, controlling weapons with his mind is something very simple.

He then took a quick glance at his progress. He noticed a change and wanted to figure it out.

⟪Current Void Fragments: [302/899]⟫

’Nice one.’ Klaus smiled inwardly, feeling both happy and ready for what comes next. ’Looks like now, I don’t have to walk around absorbing the remaining void fragments after my kill.’

Klaus paid closer attention to the message announcing his kills and saw he had already absorbed thirty void fragments from just when he stopped to check his new skill upgrade.

’I will soon reach the high stage,’ Klaus said inwardly before turning and looking at his wives. Soon, they were gone.

They slowly drew closer to the Void Vortex. The closer they got to it, the more void fragments Klaus kept absorbing from the thin air.

As for the Wraiths, they kept coming.

The green-eyed ones were the Life Stage, and the yellow-eyed ones were the Death Stage. They had yet to meet a Monarch or Nirvana Stage Wraith.

However, they were much deeper into the void region now and a couple of miles from the Void Vortex. Soon, they met their first Monarch Stage Wraith...

”This one is much more dangerous. You ladies, fortify your minds to avoid brain damage,” Klaus said to his wives after sensing a powerful ringing sound coming from the Monarch Stage Wraith.

”Strange, why does this one look more human to me?”

Kathy asked, looking at the three-meter-tall Wraith, which, aside from the tattered cloths around its frame, seemed to bear some human likeness.

It had feet —a pair of feet —unlike the previous ones, which had no visible legs.

”I guess there is something much deeper going on here. The Wraiths sitting around the Void Vortex are all at the Nirvana Stage, since I can now sense their cultivation.

However, I have a feeling this is just the start because I can’t see beyond the Void Vortex, so I have no idea what is hidden from my sight.”

Klaus and his ladies nodded. ”Let’s just kill them and check out the Void Vortex. I want to see what it is made of and how best to handle the Nirvana Stage Wraiths.

I have no doubt they will be much more of a pain in the ass than the others.”

Hanna pulled her bowstring and unleashed a powerful arrow that blasted a hole through the Monarch Wraith’s head.

After that, they moved deeper, killing a few Monarchs. After three hours, they came closer to the Void Vortex.

It was red and made from lightning, like Hanna said. However, while a vortex pulls things to its center and devours them, this vortex seemed to be releasing Void Energy.

From four hundred meters away, both Klaus and his women could sense this void energy, and Klaus, who was even luckier thanks to Icon, had started absorbing the void fragments much more.

”Looks like my deduction is spot on. The Void Vortex is what our people will benefit from,” Klaus said with a satisfied smile.

This was more than he could ask for, so he was very happy.

”Let’s kill them and then handle the other things that come after that.” They nodded and moved forward. A second later, the Nirvana Stage Wraiths sensed them, halted their cultivation, and decided to fight back.

There were sixty-two of them, and Klaus alone was handling thirty-two, allowing his wives to divide the remaining thirty among themselves.

He would be reaching High Affinity soon, so this was a happy fight.
