The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

“This Klaus is just too wicked. How can you toy with your own girlfriend like that?” Luna said, watching the frustrated Lily walk out of the arena and sit beside Anna.

“Are you okay?” Anna asked as soon as Lily sat down.

“This bastard is just too strong. I’m not sure even if all of us band together, we would be able to win,” Lily replied.

“I know, right? I was confident I would be able to defend his last attack, but I guess I was just too weak,” Anna sighed.

Hanna watched the two ladies pour out their frustration and sighed. She walked up to the stage and stood 200 meters from Klaus.

“Are you ready, little brother?” Hanna asked with a mocking smile.

‘She looks different somehow.’ Hearing her tone, Klaus raised an eyebrow curiously.

[You better not underestimate her, Brat] the senior said from Klaus’s soul sea.

‘What is it, senior?’ Klaus asked.

[You’ll see.] The senior laughed. This only made Klaus realize something huge had happened while he was away for the past 5 weeks.

“Hey there, big sis. You aren’t planning on bullying your little brother, are you?” Klaus asked with puppy eyes.

“Hey, brat, don’t think your sister will be holding back on you,” Klaus’s mother shouted from the stands with a huge smile on her face.

“Baby girl, show this bastard he wasn’t the only genius in the family!” she added, making both Hanna and Klaus smile.

“Well, little brother, you heard her,” Hanna smiled. Then her body started emitting lightning. A few seconds later, her body was bathed in lightning.

She looked at Klaus with eyes now full of blue lightning. Klaus felt his hair stand on end, even from 200 meters away.

‘She has become very powerful, huh?’ Klaus smiled, watching her antics.

Suddenly, Hanna extended her arms, and her forehead glowed blue, showing a bow tattoo. At once, an elegant blue and black bow, about 2 meters long, appeared in her hand, crackling with electricity.

“A soul weapon,” Klaus muttered, watching the weapon closely.

“Yes… I call it StormPiercer, but its true name is the Skybound Bow,” Hanna replied. “A cool name, right?” she added.

“Without a doubt, big sister. But I don’t think just a bow will do you any good,” Klaus said, raising his hand. At once, lightning began dancing around it.

“Wait… you have lightning too?” Hanna almost shouted.

“Surprise,” Klaus said with a smile.

It wasn’t just Hanna; everyone except Ohema had a shocked expression watching the lightning around his arm. Even his mom was taken aback for obvious reasons.

Klaus already possesses Fire and Ice, which are considered two of the most powerful elements out there.

So, watching him start to use Lightning, another terrifying element, they were all stunned.

“Does this mean you have the other elements too?” Hanna asked.

“No, silly. I am not a monster, you know,” Klaus said, but inwardly, he was laughing at what they would all think when he awakened the other elements out there.

“Good to know. You better prepare, brother. I’m not the same girl who couldn’t even get revenge for her friend,” Hanna said, pulling the bowstring. At once, a long arrow made of blue lightning appeared in the bow.

“Take your best shot, sister,” Klaus said with a smile. While it might look like the arrow was dangerous, Klaus believed he could defend against it.

“Tempest Forging Arrow!” Hanna muttered.

Then, with a powerful pull and release, the arrow shot from the bow and appeared before Klaus almost instantly. However, before it could strike him, his sword flashed forward, cutting it in half.

‘That was close,’ Klaus said inwardly.

[What did you expect? Although she hasn’t yet awakened her Lightning element, from the blue aura, she would be awakening the third on the Absolute Lightning Chart: The Blue Tempest Lightning.]

‘Wait, if she hasn’t awakened it yet, how can she use it to form an arrow?’ Klaus asked.

[Have you forgotten? She awakened a Lightning Seal, a much weaker one, but thanks to you changing her constitution, the Lightning Seal has also changed to the Tempest Lightning Seal.

Just like your Seal of Slaughter, she also has one now, and it seems she has already gained something from it]

‘That is wild,’ Klaus said, watching Hanna lock the same arrow into her bow, but this time, it looked a little stronger than before.

Klaus took a step forward, already closing the 200-meter gap between them.

“Nice shot, sister, but you’ll need more than that to shake me,” Klaus said with a smile, but his focus was on the bow. There was something about it that he just couldn’t place his finger on.

There was a sense of familiarity he was sensing from the bow. Nevertheless, he would give Hanna the same deal he gave Kay. Every time he defended against an arrow, he would take a step forward, closing the 200 meters between them.

Hanna pulled the bowstring again, her eyes locked on Klaus. She shot another arrow, faster this time.

Klaus moved quickly. He raised his sword and sliced through the arrow in one swift motion. He smiled and took another step forward.

“Not bad,” he said.

Hanna frowned but quickly nocked another arrow. She aimed carefully and released. The arrow flew with a loud crack, like thunder.

Klaus stepped to the side. The arrow missed by inches, but he didn’t stop moving. He took another step forward.

“You’re getting closer,” Hanna said, determination in her voice.

She pulled back once more. This time, she channeled more lightning into the arrow, making it glow brighter.

The arrow shot forward with more speed and power. Klaus raised his sword again. He blocked the arrow, but this time, it sent a shock through his arm.

He gritted his teeth, feeling the burn. “Impressive,” he said, his eyes narrowing. He took another step forward.

Hanna’s expression hardened. She wasn’t giving up.

She pulled the bowstring again, the air crackling with energy. The next arrow was different. It seemed to shimmer with a force beyond regular lightning.

But Klaus was just too abnormal. Arrow after arrow, yet he kept moving forward, closing the gap between them.

Hanna keeps locking more and more dangerous arrows, yet Klaus never back down. Soon, he was almost in front of her.

Klaus didn’t hesitate. He stepped forward, closing the gap in an instant. He swung his sword, slicing the arrow that left her bow clean in half just before it could hit him.

He stood right in front of her now. “Your move, sister,” he said, a smirk on his face.

Hanna sighed. “I guess I lost,” she muttered.

“No, you didn’t. You held back, afraid you’d bring this place down,” Klaus said. Hearing this, Anna and the others exchanged looks.

“It looks like Sister Hanna has become much stronger than us,” Anna said, looking at Hanna with a cheerful glint. “With her, we can maybe make this bastard sweat,” she added.

“I know, right,” Lily chimed in. “But it seems she’s widening the gap between us,” she added. Anna and the others nodded after hearing that.

“Don’t worry, guys. The cultivation techniques I’ll be giving you will surely turn you all into monsters,” Klaus said.

‘After all, I created them over three generations,’ he added inwardly. All the techniques Yuying prepared for him—about 95% of them—were created by him, most from his first incarnation, and the others from the other two incarnations before Fruity came.

At least, that’s what Yuying told him… told his 4th incarnation, Fruity.

They all nodded hearing Klaus’s words. They didn’t doubt him, not even in the slightest.

“Can I hold the bow for a second?” Klaus suddenly asked, extending his hand for the bow. Hanna didn’t hesitate and instantly handed it to him.

However, the moment his hands touched the bow, Klaus’s mood shifted.
