The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1700: Blood Savage

[Primus Universe]

Travelling from the Human Universe to the Ancient Battlefield using the gateways takes no less than a month, sometimes even two months, to reach one’s destination.

Klaus’s incarnation, Rhazor, left the Human Universe with his teammates about three weeks ago, and despite travelling aboard an X-Class spaceship, they had yet to arrive at their destination.

They were left with nothing to do but catch up some more and share stories of their past battles and funny encounters.

These casual conversations had at least kept the flight from becoming boring.

But while the long flight gave them an opportunity to catch up, it paled in comparison to the adventure Kaden and his team were having inside the Elemental Garden.

Rhazor could sense the changes happening since he and Kaden were the same person. Initially, they were subtle, but as Kaden and his team encountered the Savage Beasts from the Bleeding Kingdom, the changes became more pronounced.

Already, Rhazor was an Early God, the only God among his incarnations.

He had ascended and could now harness the power of his own Dao. But by awakening his Dao, his future growth had also become limited to the nature of his elemental Dao.

He could grow further by absorbing flame essence and blood essence.

It was one of the main reasons he had left for the Ancient Battlefield, where he could kill without reservation.

So the moment Kaden and his teammates began killing the inhabitants of the Bleeding Kingdom, he began to grow.

Visibly, his friends could sense that he was growing stronger, and for someone like Klaus, who is a Paragon, moving from a Low-Level Early God to a Mid-Level Early God is akin to someone advancing from the Early Immortal Realm to the True Immortal Realm.

Naturally, he was growing stronger by the second. By the time the battles ended, he had advanced from the Early God Realm to the High-Level True God Realm, making him several times stronger.

“I wonder how you can casually move from the Early God Realm to the True God Realm in mere hours,” Mark remarked, staring at Rhazor, who seemed to be deep in thought.

Rhazor turned to look at him before smiling. “It is normal since I have more bodies working together to raise my strength.”

“I guess that makes sense. But then again, what did your other bodies do that allowed you to advance through two entire realms in less than a day?”

While weeks had passed inside the Elemental Garden, only hours had passed here, so they were naturally in shock. Rhazor said nothing to answer their questions directly, but he revealed something that made them all widen their eyes…

“I suppose absorbing the blood essence of a Pseudo-Primordial has more benefits than one would expect.”

[Elemental Garden]

It had been two weeks since the battle with the Blood Hounds.

Kaden and his people had been travelling through the border between the Bleeding Kingdom and the Ant Desert without much disturbance. They had only encountered a few strays from the Ant Desert.

But nothing else had come from the Bleeding Kingdom. This told Kaden and his team that killing the Pseudo-Primordial had affected the frequency of the attacks.

Things could have been chaotic by now.

“I think we are a couple of weeks out,” Kaden said, using data collected from the distance they had covered and the estimation General Nura had given them to make his assumption.

Jane, who was in charge of scouting ahead, nodded at Kaden’s words. She could tell that they were drawing near to a more open and less dangerous part of the border between the Bleeding Kingdom and the Ant Desert.

“If all goes well, we will be making it to Dunsil City in less than a month,” Jane replied, and Kaden turned to Pickle Berry, who was happy that they were drawing closer to her family.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Kaden smiled and replied, “That would be great, I suppose. But for now, let’s not get too comfortable, at least not until we have made it out of this place.”

Kaden wasn’t done speaking when Icon’s warning message entered his mind.

The first thing Kaden did was summon the Demon Bead, and in one quick motion, everyone except himself entered it. He stored it away and summoned Nezha’s Wheels, causing flames to ignite beneath his feet.

In no time, he vanished from sight, leaving trails of flames in his wake.

Two seconds after he ran off, a humanoid figure standing approximately seven feet tall, with dishevelled crimson hair, a bare chest streaked with cuts and scars, and a large sabre resting on one shoulder, held in one hand, appeared, instantly destabilizing the laws around him.

In his presence, unless one’s understanding of the laws was very deep, harnessing any law around him would be impossible.

Seeing that he had missed his targets, a frown appeared on his face, but then he smirked. “Futile to think you can escape from me, bastard.”

He stomped on the ground and shot into the air, disappearing after Kaden, who had already moved several thousand kilometres away, riding the wind using Nezha’s Wheels.

Kaden could sense the danger posed by this new powerhouse, and while he would have loved nothing more than to kill him and absorb his blood essence, he knew it was impossible. So he ran, hoping to figure something out along the way.

But two minutes into the chase, Kaden realized he could not escape. The pursuer was someone far more dreadful than he had expected.

So, in order not to be caught off guard, he stopped and took a deep breath.

WHOOSH!

A breeze of cold mist washed over him as the dreadful opponent appeared in the air before him.

Kaden lifted his head and looked at him, a smile playing on his lips.

“I suppose killing one Pseudo-Primordial wasn’t enough, so they sent another one. I do wonder, if you are the next best thing they have, do you perhaps think you qualify to kill me?”

Kaden’s eyes narrowed, subtle flame energy burning around him. For a moment, he expected the savage to attack.

But then he spoke, making the situation even more dire…

“I am Blood Savage… your killer…” he said before attacking.
