The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus, who arrived inside the realm of flames, suddenly narrowed his eyes at the Phoenix lady smiling at him.

At once, he knew she wasn’t the Nari he knew but a past version of her. This means she is crazy, and Klaus can see it in her eyes.

“No need to look at me like that Monarch. It makes me feel like you want to devour me.” Her smile bloomed. “Not that I mind. I want to be devoured by you…”

*Cough.*

Klaus coughed, hearing such a shameless yet seductive request from the overly beautiful red-haired lady.

Nari had become a beauty. Of course, her beauty and personality are directly opposite each other.

She maintained her red hair, but now it extended further down her back. She also kept her red eyes, but looking into them, Klaus couldn’t help but feel emotions radiating from them.

This caused him to smile. Her previous eyes held no emotions; even if they did, they are not what one wants to read. They often convey what you never expect.

Her body had also developed, and looking at her curves and the load she was packing behind her, Klaus knew he would be having problems with his hands.

“Do you like what you see?” Nari asked, shaking her chest.

Though a thin layer of red dress covered her body, Klaus couldn’t help but gulp when those two sisters jiggled at him.

“I know you’re not Nari—at least, not the Nari from this generation. So, why don’t you tell me why you brought me here? I doubt you brought me just to show me what I’ll be seeing later,” Klaus chuckled, making Nari smile.

She vanished, and the next second, she was in front of Klaus. She took hold of his hand, and suddenly, Klaus felt a burning sensation on his arm.

“Ouch… what was that?” Klaus looked and saw a mark appear on his right arm.

“That is the mark you said I should brand you with when we meet again. Per your instructions, before you claim me… Hehe… you must have this mark on your arm.

It has something to do with the reincarnation you made us go through those years ago.”

“Hmm. I see. Then what can you tell me about you… I mean, the you back then?” Klaus asked. He would have asked more questions about the mark, but he already had three keys to unlock the lives of those dear to him.

Having a mark wasn’t too far-fetched.

What he wanted to know was about the lady in front of him. He knew Nari wouldn’t remember a thing when she woke up, so he wanted to know something he could use against her.

The Nari, who had now gained emotions and would finally realize that she had feelings for Klaus all this time but didn’t know, might act a little crazy.

Knowing something about her could come in handy.

The lady seemed to know what he was thinking, so she smiled and whispered something to Klaus, making the Paragon blush.

“You will find out the hard way, Paragon. But that is just by the way. What I wanted to say was you should prepare.

The heavens are angry, and like you said, they won’t back down when it comes to killing you. So, please don’t leave any loose ends for the sake of those you care about.

I know it will take some time for me to remember, but know that I am a great calamity, and as such, when the time comes, I will become myself again and fight for you.”

“You won’t fight for me, Nari. You will fight with me, for in my eyes, we are a family. I will never use you as a weapon.”

“I know, Monarch, I know. But I want you to promise me when it’s all hanging by a thread; you won’t try to hold me back.

I will sacrifice my life any day to make sure you live on. Your dreams are much more important than any of us,” Nari said pleadingly. Klaus could tell she was serious, so he nodded.

“Don’t worry, I won’t hold you back, but I also won’t allow you to sacrifice your life. I have nine lives; you have only two.”

Klaus laughed, making Nari smile.

“Look for the others, okay? That Qilin and the Dragon, though they are weak, are also targets of the heavens for the decision we all made years ago.

Find them and make sure they are saved. They need you, and you need them, so make sure my sisters are safe. Else, I’ll burn this thing off… hehe.” Nari said, pointing toward the dragon between his legs.

Klaus just chuckled.

“Here, this is a blood essence from a powerful race of Phoenix. You can use it however you want.” Klaus accepted the crystal from her and stored it inside his soul sea. That was the best place for it.

“Thank you,” He smiled, knowing that creating his first perfect warrior was already in the bag.

“We will meet again, Paragon. Until then,” Nari moved closer and whispered into his ear, “Be gentle when we finally do the… you know.” She smiled, and then she blinked three times.

Klaus saw she was gone and replaced by the Nari he knew.

“Klaus?” Nari was surprised to see him. Klaus just smiled and held her hand.

“Let’s go home.”

Nari nodded and then snapped her fingers. The next second, they were out of the flaming clouds, which burned for a few seconds and then dissipated.

The moment they appeared, the ladies flew up to meet them.

“Nari, are you okay?” Queenie asked, taking Nari’s hand and starting to examine her body. She was like a mother looking to see if her daughter was safe from all harm.

“Relax, big sister, I am fine.” Nari just smiled, finally feeling the love behind what Queenie was doing. It was like a part of her had been locked away all these years.

Back then, she only felt she could be overly protective sometimes when Queenie did things like this

Now, that part of her had been unlocked, and instead of feeling discomfort while experiencing all these emotions, she was rather calm and very happy.

“Nari, so you are the sister she could never stop talking about,” Queen Lunara smiled. “Nice meeting you, Nari. I am Lunara, Queenie’s mother.”

“Nice to meet you too. I never knew you were also as beautiful as big sister,” Nari smiled. Klaus looked at the Queen and smiled, making Ohema glare at him.

Nari also noticed his shameless act but planned to punish him.

She turned toward Klaus, and then her smile bloomed.

“Whatever crazy thing you are thinking about, don’t,” Klaus said. He knew that smile was for nothing good.

“Why, are you scared? I already told you we will continue where we left off,” Nari’s eyes glowed red. She raised her hand and placed it on his shoulder.

“Why don’t we go back first? This place is not safe.”

[Good luck, brat. You will finally understand what a Great Calamity looks and behaves like.] The senior’s voice entered Klaus’s head as they vanished into a red space rift.

For the next few days, weeks, months and years, he will know what a tamed Calamity looks and behaves like.
