The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

“Lulu, dear, I have seen how you fight, and I have to say, you are very capable.” Lulu is a spirit master who seems to have become a formation expert. Essentially, all her attacks are aimed at harnessing the power of formations.

Klaus was once a target of her sword formation, and during this battle, he had seen her use her skill set many times, making him realize right away what he must do to help her.

“You are someone who is destined to one day join Lucy and Anna in controlling the battlefield. Your formations are already good enough, and while you created them from scratch, I have to say, you are brilliant.”

Lulu blushed, being at the receiving end of Klaus’s praise. Lucy could feel what she was feeling because she had also been praised just a few minutes before.

“This is why I thought long and hard about it and could only come up with one perfect partner for you.” Klaus turned to his sister, Hanna.

“Hanna, you use the bow and lightning, making you the best fit for her style of combat. I have seen how you used your lightning with her swords multiple times already, and I can tell there is potential there.

Of course, for now, you two don’t have that synergy, but I have prepared two battle styles for the two of you.

One will be for Lulu on how to use formations effectively, and the other will be for you, taking advantage of those formations to maximize the kills.”

Hanna is very agile in the air, and her shooting speed is incredibly fast.

So, while Lulu mostly uses her soul attacks to fend off a large group of monsters before trapping them, now she won’t have to worry about that, as Hanna will handle them.

“Next, Linda, you really are a rare talent. Your control over the flame element is impeccable. You can easily manipulate the flame element to such an extent, even harnessing its power in ways most can’t.

I see great potential there. This is why you and Matt will become a team. He is someone who is walking the same path as you.

You both are skilled in elemental manipulation, so figure out how to blend lightning and fire. That is your assignment for the next five days. Of course, I will teach you a method that can help you figure out this faster.” The two nodded.

“I initially wanted to make it a four-warrior team-up, but Danny, you, and Vida will become a team after reviewing your combat.

She has the earth element but has yet to upgrade it to metal. This means she will require someone who can actively heal her.

I know you have already branded everyone, but your other skill, which spreads only a few meters around you, will come in handy here.

For now, your team may appear weak, but wait until she upgrades her element to the metal stage and your light also undergoes the first transformation.” The two brutes nodded.

Vida is a beautiful lady who uses her fists in combat. Klaus saw how beautiful yet destructive she becomes when in combat and could only pair her with Danny, who is equally destructive.

Pairing a brute with someone like Lily, who relies on speed, is not logical. Of course, if they were to train hard and learn how to use the battlefield’s destructive nature to their advantage, then that would be a whole different ballgame.

Klaus also plans to create an unconventional battle strategy, which will help them handle all kinds of variables in combat.

But for now, he is matching them to their shared traits.

“Daniel, you and Miguel will also become a team. Learn each other’s strengths and styles, and then focus on how to complement each other in addressing your weaknesses.”

“Miriam, you and Aoi are already a team, as I saw how you fought. Aoi is both a magic swordsman and a samurai, while you are a quick-draw sword artist.

Though setting the stage for each other wasn’t something you both initially focused on, when it comes to speed and quick draw, you are a perfect team.

However, learn to harness each other’s strengths. That will go a long way.” The two nodded, just like the rest.

“Kathy, you use the spear and have the lightning affinity, while Mark, you also use the spear but with the wind element. These two elements have something in common, and that is speed.

I know you can’t match Kathy’s speed, but find a way to synergize with her. This team is not permanent; I just want to experiment with something. After the next battle, I will know what to do.”

Klaus went ahead and finalized the rest of the teams. Nuna and her twin are already a team, so Nia and Vira, a huntress, also formed a team.

This was Klaus’s way of teaching Vira the ways of the shadow. She will be ready for her awakening when she picks up on that.

Scarlet, who uses ice as a mage, and Kay, who uses fire as an archer, also became a team. This pairing was one Klaus knew would be perfect.

With Scarlet’s mage skills, she can trap targets for Kay, reducing his effort of long-tracking before firing an arrow.

Jason, the other swordsman who also uses the same light as Miriam, was paired with Kilian. The best reason for this pair-up is Jason’s strategy.

Klaus saw how Kilian could unleash his strength when Lucy’s strategy worked in his favor.

So, he paired them.

Ling and Zing also paired up with Choi, who uses the same metal element, the same as them.

This pairing was Klaus’s way of figuring out how to make them the real defense of the team. But for now, he is training them in both offense and defence.

Then came the last pairing of the day: Asha and Nadia.

The insect tamer and the demon puppeteer are perfect for each other, as seen in the battle that ended two days ago. Nadia was able to weave her puppets to battle alongside Asha’s ants.

The moment the pairing was done, they went into training with Klaus supervising them. Another three days went by, and they seemed to pick up the trend.

So, Klaus retired to his room, where two beauties were waiting for him.
