The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Bringing Asmodeus back didn’t just make Klaus feel good knowing a dear friend had finally come back to his side in these hard times; it also reminded him of his early days in his past life as Magnus.

Asmodeus, being his first Undead, made him one of the many people who had been with him when everyone hated him.

Asmodeus was like a big brother back then, always reminding Magnus to keep on moving forward, that one day, everything would be worth it.

Having him back reminded him of all the sacrifices his mom made for him.

His father had multiple wives at the time. They each had children.

At first, his mom was loved by his father. However, when he awakened his vampire side, that love was shattered, for his mom stood by his side, neglecting the many times his father told her not to.

Magnus always blamed himself for that.

Because his mom chose his side, everyone started to look down on him. It got to the point that ordinary servants in their home looked down on her. Whenever that happened, Magnus became so sad and angry that, had it not been for his mom holding him back, he would have committed several massacres.

So, recalling those dark times, he chose to spend some time with his mom instead.

Without him, Icon alone is enough to handle everything.

And since he left his soul bodies with her and Asmodeus, she had all she needed to make Asmodeus and the nine he selected to become Domain stage warriors get his blood.

Klaus, however, first went into the Primordial cave to check up on his lovers, friends, and teams.

Right when he appeared inside, he saw two ladies seated on a stone made from some kind of Ice jade. These ladies, of course, were Jane, his baby sister, and Queenie, his Asura wife.

When they saw him, they all sighed and bent their heads to hide the sorrow on their faces.

“Big brother, I think that big sister Queenie and I are the most unlucky people in the universe,” Jane said as tears fell down her cheek. “There are hundreds of thousands of statues here, but none even wanted to give us a shot.”

Jane had tried her luck at all seven locations where the various statues were, but not even one wanted her to become their disciple.

In fact, unlike Queenie, who had managed to get some powerful techniques as compensation, Jane got nothing.

At first, she didn’t care too much about it, but after Pickle Berry managed to gain some skills and even Klaus’s Flame spirit scored a few techniques, her failure got to her.

Queenie, who had given up on finding a teacher, chose to spend some time with her to help her calm down. However, upon seeing her big brother appear before her, Jane couldn’t hold back her tears.

“I’m such a failure.”

Klaus hugged her and gently patted her on the back.

“You are not a failure, Jane.”

“If—if I am not a failure, then why didn’t even one of them give me just one technique to make me feel good?”

Klaus smiled, “That’s because you are so awesome that they can’t recognize your brilliance. I mean, who can boldly say they have the power to break the formation of the enemy forces?”

Klaus looked at Queenie, who gave him a thumbs-up. “If they knew how awesome you are, they would have begged you to become their disciple.”

Jane knew Klaus was merely trying to make her feel good. Even so, hearing his voice made her calm down a bit. “I just want to feel included. Having been rejected 705 times didn’t inspire confidence in me.”

Klaus didn’t know whether he should cry or laugh, hearing Jane try to persuade 705 statues to take her in as their disciple.

’I guess having no combat class or skill made them see her as unworthy. However, she is special, and that alone should be enough.’

Klaus sighed in his heart. His bloodline had given people like Asha, who had no combat class, a worthy class that would allow her to fight alongside her insect army.

However, just like his mom, Jane only got a boost in her class as a Star Manipulator. So while she was now much stronger at controlling the battlefield, she had no combat power whatsoever.

“You are special, Jane, and you should know that. However, if you need a teacher so badly, then why don’t I become that? I believe I have the means to train you and make you gain some combat experience.”

“Really?” Jane pulled back and looked at Klaus with her big eyes.

“Of course. You need a master, and I happen to need a disciple. If you are willing, I will become your teacher and big brother at the same time.”

“Thank you, big brother,” Jane hugged Klaus, thoughtfully causing Queenie to smile and shake her head.

Klaus also smiled and gave a command to Icon.

’Icon dear, after adding the 10 points to the Star Monarch bloodline, you said it will produce three more Core Blood Essence. I want you to give one of those to Jane.’

⟪I have already evaluated her as a worthy candidate to become a Domain stage. I believe that in the direction she is going, her domain will further boost her control over the battlefield. I will give it to her, Killian, and Nyxthar⟫

’You are the best, Icon.’

After spending some time ensuring Jane had calmed down completely, he sent her away to examine the statues. Maybe finally having a teacher would trigger them to give her something.

“Nice one, Klaus. I never knew you had this budding side to you,” Queenie said, kissing Klaus on the lips. Klaus held her waist and smiled as he kissed her, too.

“I have many talents, my Blood Princess. One of these days, I will make you experience some.”

“Looking forward to that day.”

They kissed again, and after a few minutes, they broke the kiss. “How is everyone?” Klaus asked.

“All my sisters have gotten a teacher and have inherited their legacy. It was left with only Lumia, Kathy, and Nari to finish inheriting their master’s legacies.

Vida is not yet back from wherever you sent her.

As for your friends, all of them have also gotten their master’s and inherited their legacies. Just like Vida, Killian is also not back.

Aside from them, the others, particularly some of Asha’s insect army, mainly her Insect Queens, have gotten teachers and some acquired power skills. In fact, the reason why most of the statues are no more is because they have picked their disciple.

As you can see, many statues are no longer there.

Aside from that, those who couldn’t get a teacher managed to obtain some powerful skills and techniques that I believe will enable them to become powerful warriors one day.

I will keep a close eye on things here so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

Klaus nodded and kissed Queenie one more time before he left. He wanted to ensure his friends and lovers were safe, and now that he had, it was time to spend some quality time with his mom.

When Klaus appeared back on Earth, he spread his lightning wings and vanished from sight. Soon, he was back in Dream City, where his mom was currently staying.

“How have you been, Mom?” Klaus asked when he approached his mom.

He walked right into her waiting arms and hugged her. “I ’ve been well, sweetheart.” Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⦿fire.net
