The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The moment the innate pressure that the Savage King tried to use on Klaus and his team was broken, he knew things wouldn’t be as simple as he thought.

And he was right. Klaus had just too much mental strength to withstand his attack and even counter it, which, in this aspect, left the Savage King bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

But that didn’t end there… Klaus had something more prepared, so he unleashed Veylor, the Flame Archer, and perhaps the best Archer Earth had so far.

Veylor looked toward the thousands of zombies and smiled. Then he extended his hand, and a thick, 3-meter-long red arrow appeared.

Klaus didn’t know what Veylor was about to do, but he waited, and to his amazement, when the arrow entered his bow, instead of pointing it forward, he did something bizarre.

…he pointed the arrow down and activated an enchantment that caused three runic circles to appear around the 3-meter arrow.

The heat around him was palpable, and Klaus, who now possessed a Flame Core, could tell Veylor was imbuing the purest essence of flame into the arrow and enchanting the bow with the same flame essence.

Then he let loose the arrow, causing it to disappear into the ground. However, it didn’t take long for the intended effect to happen.

Far in the distance, at the middle of the zombie army, the ground turned hotter for a second before exploding. It burst into magma, and rising from the ashes of the burnt zombies was a sleek, red, and yellow-patterned phoenix.

It rose into the air, spreading its wings wide before it turned and started to come down…It was a mesmerizing display that left the ground shaking…

However, before it could reach an exploding distance, a Tier 10 zombie appeared and lashed its sword at the phoenix, destroying it.

But the intended effect was met, and looking at the devastation caused, the Savage King’s eyes turned red.

However, before he could issue an order, he sensed the area where the arrow came from starting to boil. Then the boiling started shaking the very ground they stood on.

Those near the destruction felt their bodies losing strength and slowly being pulled toward the boiling magma…

“Move back!” The Savage King shouted when he sensed this.

Thousands of them moved, but hundreds couldn’t, so the last effect of Veylor’s arrow dragged them in, incinerating their bodies, leaving nothing but ash behind.

It is just one arrow, but the three runes that appeared around it are the main abilities of the arrow—the first causes magma to erupt from the ground and incinerate anything in its path.

Then, from that devastation, the phoenix will rise. The endgame for the phoenix was to add more carnage to the first attack, which would also act as a distraction for the third, which is the main attack.

The third ability created a pulling force that dragged everything within a 100-meter radius into the boiling magma.

Veylors’ arrow did all that, but unfortunately, the second attack didn’t happen as intended. But he thinks it worked out in the end.

“That’s more like it,” Veylor grinned, then a mask appeared on his face. The attack he just used is a classic.

At the same time, the Savage King lunged forward, threatening to erase Veylor from the face of the map.

However, before he could get halfway from Klaus and his team, two teenagers—one with orange hair, a female, and the other with white hair, a male—blocked his path. They had cute little dragon horns on their foreheads.

Nirvana and Fury arrived just in time to block a Tier 12 existence, and they did block him, as the Savage King halted in his steps, feeling some form of danger coming from the two teenagers.

“Kids, move back, you aren’t his match,” Klaus called out to the two unruly flame dragons, who were now returning from Mars.

They chose to remain there and continue their cultivation when he left a few days ago. Since they are connected to Klaus, they sensed he was gearing up for battle, so they came running.

They turned and looked at the Savage King, stuck out their tongues, and then ran toward Klaus. Naturally, Fury stood by Klaus’s side while Nirvana jumped into Lunara’s Arms.

“Mommy.”

Every last soul standing behind Klaus widened their eyes when they heard this… however, they didn’t have the time to ask questions, or more accurately, Klaus didn’t allow them to say anything.

“Kill them all…” With that, he vanished and appeared before the Savage King, landing a punch into his gut. The force sent the angry king flying away from the battlefield.

Klaus wanted his team to have a good battle, so he wouldn’t allow his battle with the Savage King to disturb them.

Lunara looked at her sisters and smiled. “I will explain later.”

She turned to Nirvana and Fury. “You two should behave yourselves and don’t die.” With that, flaming wings appeared behind her, and she disappeared into battle.

Veylor, Nyxthar, Eren, and Klaus’s Beast armor were already clashing with the zombies. Klaus’s entire team joined the battle the moment he gave the order, so only his wives remained.

“I can’t believe they spent two months together and already have two kids,” Ohema said, looking at her mother raining down fire on the zombies.

“I’m not sure it’s that simple,” Lily responded, though she also held a shocked expression in her eyes.

“We will find out soon enough,” Anna added.

And like she said, the answer—or part of it—came the next second when Fury and Nirvana turned into 30-meter-long dragons and started spraying fire on the pitiful zombies.

The ladies stood for a few more seconds before they also joined the battle. They were stunned and even envious of Lunara, but they had a job to do before delving deeper into other things.

The fact that their sister was now with kids made them very jealous.

Klaus was locked in battle with the Savage King.

Klaus wielded a long red sword, possibly one of his many soul weapons, and was clad in standard armor. He wasn’t using his sentient armor… instead, he was clad in armor the renegade monk used to wear, a soul armor.

It came with a half mask, but he didn’t equip that, so his dark and white armor and red sword were all he was using.

He hadn’t activated any active skills, so for now, it was pure swordsmanship—one that the Savage King was struggling to keep up with.

Klaus’s battle style is supreme…

He created it in his 4th incarnation, on his trip to the Hollow Mountains back in the tormented world, and later improved upon it when he began his carnage across the universe.

“The Tormented Sword Art.”

One of his classics, and so far, he was using it to overpower the Savage King.

Far in the distance, isolated from the battlefield, seated on a grey mat, is the human oracle who warned the Savage king about the impending attack, which has arrived now.

A star map appeared in front of her, showing the entire battlefield. The white stars marked her side, the zombie side, and the black stars marked the humans evading.

A smile appeared on her face when she saw Klaus and the Savage King separate from the battlefield. It means her time to dominate has come.

Her slender fingers moved, and she positioned three white stars around a deep black star.

Somewhere on the battlefield, somehow, Lily found herself surrounded by two peak Tier 10 zombies and a level 4 Tier 11 zombie…
