The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Hearing the familiar voices in his head, Klaus first moved back and unleashed three arrows in rapid succession, aiming to push back Seraya.

However, she easily defended against them.

She didn’t give him breathing room.

Of course, Klaus expected nothing less from a Real Immortal.

Seraya snapped her fingers, igniting the air in radiant blue light. She tapped into her lightning affinity. The storm surged in the clouds, and lightning started dancing just below the thick blue clouds.

A ring of lightning cracked open around Klaus, and dozens of bolts whipped inward like hungry serpents.

Klaus smiled faintly and slammed his palm on the ground, igniting his fire qi.

A blazing dome erupted around him, covering his whole body and even leaving enough room for ten more if he were protecting them.

The lightning bolts started hitting the dome in rapid succession, each strike shaking the shield violently.

However, no matter how many bolts struck the dome, Klaus remained unharmed. The fire dome he activated contains flame laws that counter the bolts of lightning striking it.

Inside the dome, Klaus finally willed the tattoos to manifest.

Nirvana, with her orange hair, appeared standing with the body of a 15-year-old girl. Fury also appeared, his white hair dancing in the air.

Void stood beside them as well, her short, dark hair making her look more like a tomboy. Not that she isn’t; the fact that she is wearing male clothes and even has a face tattoo shows she is a rebel.

Lastly, Qilin appeared, standing quietly on the side. He is the quiet one among the four forbidden flames Klaus had awakened.

Klaus has many elements; however, since he had only reached the Elemental Harmony for the flame Element, only his flame spirits can talk and take human form.

“Didn’t you guys enter seclusion with Nari and Amelia, claiming you want to help them form their own flame spirits? What are you doing here?” Klaus asked in a somewhat happy tone.

To many, these four teenagers are real people. However, they are his flame elements, which have manifested as flame spirits and assumed human form.

It is a rare occurrence, one that only those with deeper knowledge of the elementals can do. Klaus happens to be one of the few who can do that.

However, his elements are all forbidden elements, so this means they don’t follow the rules of the heaven. This was why he could leave them and travel millions of light-years away, without a worry.

When he was leaving, they wanted to spend time with Nari and the rest of his wives who use the flame element. They wanted to help them, they said.

So, in his mind, he expected them to actually be there and even travel with them to Planet Caelmir. However, here they are with battle intent burning in their eyes.

Fury answered Klaus’s question… “We did help them, and since we have nothing else to do, we decided to come spend some more time with Daddy.”

Void added, “Who would have expected us to arrive at the best possible time?”

“Indeed. This will be the perfect time to test our abilities,” Nirvana also said. Qilin smiled, but he said nothing.

Klaus could only stare at the four with a deadpan look.

In that moment, a crack appeared in the flame dome; however, Qilin waved his hand, and it healed. The dome was made from the Primordial Desolation Flame after all.

“You four do know she is a Real Immortal, right? And in case you are not aware, you are only Empyrean stage warriors. That is two realms below her.”

They looked at each other and smiled, “We are also immortals. Unless Daddy dies, we will never die, even if we are killed a million times.”

Klaus couldn’t deny that.

They are linked to him, so as long as he draws breath, death is the last thing they have to worry about.

However, due to how they choose to call him and his wives, he can’t, in good conscience, watch them die over and over again.

Being called Daddy tends to make him actually start to think about their mental health. However, they don’t seem to care about that at all.

To them, death is normal, but not to Klaus.

Of course, because of this complicated feeling, if he denies them the chance to have some fun, they will become sad, something elemental spirits had no business doing.

‘Ah, this is just too many feelings for me to handle.’

Being a father figure to them has, in a way, made him become somewhat of a responsible father.

“You four must follow my lead and don’t get too close.”

“Yay!” They jumped high into the air and started cheering.

Klaus just shook his head, knowing deep down that he was going to regret this decision.

‘Then again, they are immortal flame spirits. Death is nothing to them.’

He can use the flame elements without having to summon them. If anything, their presence is more like an added bonus.

In a way, after serving him for countless lives, he had finally given his elements life so they could live on their own terms.

Safe to say they won’t stop fighting for him now that they’re here.

“Alright. So here is the plan…”

On the outside, Seraya paused her assaults and flew into the air. When she was high enough, she raised one of her swords and pointed it at the clouds.

RUMBLE

The storm surged, and thunder rocked the arena. Cheers rang out, raising a rather concerning issue.

The arena is floating several km off the ground. If it were to collapse now, the death toll would be staggering. Of course, the immortals can survive such a fall, even the Saints could.

However, if the antigravity and neutron-propulsion core is compromised during the collapse, the explosion will even consume the immortals.

However, watching Seraya command the thunder and lightning, not a single one even considered the possibility of an explosion. They all seemed eager to see what happens next.

The next second, a large tiger made of lightning surged out of the cloud and lunged at the fire dome.

The entire arena shook as the tiger roared and surged toward Klaus.

Klaus took a deep breath and then tightened his grip around his bow…”Time to get to work.”

The dome exploded, and five people rushed out—an adult and four teenagers.

Klaus pulled back his bowstring and unleashed a terrifying arrow. The arrow and the tiger met midair, creating a blinding explosion.

“Cool,” Nirvana admired the explosion before turning into a colossal orange flame dragon and rushing toward Seraya. As the Chaotic Nirvana Flame, this moment seems like her playground. She thrives in chaos.

On the other hand, Fury also turned into a white flame dragon and unleashed a roar filled with soul attack. He is the Soul Fury Flame.

“This is so much fun.” Void unleashed a phoenix screech and rose into the air, sending red and black flames rising behind her. As she flew through the air, the void started breaking in her wake.

She is the Void Incineration Flame

As for Qilin, he turned into a beautiful Qilin and teleported behind Seraya, unleashing a paw strike. He is the Primordial Desolation Flame, a combination of destruction and rebirth.

With how sudden everything happened, Seraya was caught off guard, so the impact sent her flying to the ground.

Void, Nirvana, Fury, and Klaus were upon her the next second.
