The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus was already made aware when Icon spied on Varkos’s meeting with his subordinates that they were conspiring to make things hard for him.

However, when the match-ups were made, and he saw that he was matched against Raxxion, the real immortal who tried to look for trouble with him, he couldn’t help but laugh.

The bastard who had been looking for trouble with him since he arrived for the Blood Tournament is his next opponent.

Naturally, Klaus had been looking to face him. He wants to teach him a very good lesson. Although he is there for something, having fun and holding grudges on the side is also allowed.

The competition is nearing its climax soon. They started with 64 warriors…or more like criminals. Now, only 16 remain, and soon, only 8 will be left.

However, while that is a lot of death, Klaus was happy he finally got to fight someone ultra-strong.

Obviously, now is the best time for Klaus to show everyone he meant business by defeating a medium-level Real Immortal.

Raxxion wants him dead, too, so this battle is going to be a wild one for sure.

Soon, Klaus and Raxxion are in the Arena, ready to kill each other.

This time, the audience that had gathered to watch their battle was 3 times higher when he fought Seraya. Klaus didn’t even bother with that. He had become a hot topic, and so it was perfectly normal for them to see him as a good sport.

His focus now is to see how hard it will be to kill a medium-level Real Immortal. He had already concluded that Early Immortals aren’t his much.

“Looks like you will be next to go down, giant,” Klaus said, smiling slightly.

Raxxion sure is a giant of a man. He is 8 feet tall, with arms large enough to punch holes through Klaus’s chest. In fact, a direct punch from him is enough to shatter his bones.

Klaus had already gathered all there was to know about Raxxion, so he knew he could not be careless. He is a variant of the flame humans called Pyreborne.

Naturally, that race is made of fire. However, the Pyreborne are humans with bodies made from condensed lava. This allows them to turn their entire body into burning flames.

Raxxion can become a sea of flames at will, and the only way to kill him is to locate his flame source and extinguish it. Of course, to do that, one would first have to locate it.

Obviously, that is going to be a headache. He wouldn’t be stupid to make it float around.

However, Klaus knew that anything could be killed, so he would take down Raxxion no matter what. After all, what Pyreborne hate the most is Ice users.

That is their only weakness as a race of warriors.

And well… Klaus is known to possess some of the most dangerous Ice Elements in existence. Though he wouldn’t be using it now, since all of this is training for him, when it comes down to it, he will for sure use it.

“You can just turn into a sea of flames and make my job easy for me, Raxxion,” Klaus teased, though his words contain a hidden meaning.

Raxxion turns away and looks at the robot. It was as if he were saying, “If you don’t start, I will be forced to start myself.”

The tease just now told him that Klaus is baiting him into doing something drastic. He is not stupid, so turning into a sea of flame will be the last thing he would do.

He had already concluded that Klaus is a danger. So he cannot joke around.

Of course, if he were to face him in his first battle, Raxxion would have been all talkative. He would have bragged about how he would punch Klaus to a pulp.

However, a part of him is afraid of Klaus, and that fear will be his downfall.

The robot turns red, causing Raxxion to tighten his grip around his axe. Flames ignited around it, causing cheers to ring out in the Arena.

Klaus also extended his hand, and the Flame Eater bow appeared, also igniting into orange, white, deep red, and golden silver flames.

Instead of summoning his flame spirits, he is channeling their essence into the bow.

Naturally, having the Chaos Nirvana Flame, Soul Fury Flame, Void Incineration Flame, and Primordial Desolation Flame augmenting his bow makes every arrow that will come from his bow a deadly armament.

Every last arrow that will be released using the bow will contain the essence of all four flame spirits.

The robot turned blue, and while Raxxion did nothing, Klaus smiled and summoned nine spears from his space ring and made them hover in the air behind him.

The flames lit around them, creating a dazzling display. However, instead of admiring them, each spear caused several immortals to flinch.

Even Raxxion felt chills run down his spine.

Klaus smiled.

Then the robot turns green.

Klaus took offense by attacking first. Using his mind to control the nine spears. They shot forward, fire blazing in their wake.

“Flame Pillar Detonation Strike!”

Raxxion swung his axe, creating violent explosions from the ground, raising pillars of flame into the air. The spears moving toward him had to swerve around the flame pillars.

This caused them to delay slightly.

Klaus knew his planned attack was counted, so he commanded the spears to retreat.

Raxxion, of course, calculated, so he moved through the chaos, aiming to close in on Klaus to unleash his axe strike.

However, Klaus is already aware of his plans, so before he could appear from the pillar of flames, three thick arrows appeared before his face.

Each arrow carried a different flame aura, creating a tri-colored blaze that distorted the space around them. The flame law is embedded within them, warping the very fabric of reality around them.

The flame law also seems to increase the speed of the arrow, so it arrived much faster than it should.

Raxxion barely had time to cross his arms before the first arrow hit him.

BOOM!

The impact blasted him backward, skidding him across the flaming ground. His metallic boots left scratch marks in the semi-metallic ground.

A part of the law embedded in the arrow enhanced the impact.

The second arrow struck almost instantly, exploding against his chest and forcing him to cough out sparks of molten fire.

“Wow, I never knew your kind had molten lava for blood.” Klaus grinned.

The third arrow hit last—hardest—sending him crashing through a pillar of flames he had created moments earlier.

The audience gasped, a shocked expression filling their faces. The precision it took to shoot three arrows in perfect sync and hit their mark with no chance of countering wasn’t something an amateur could accomplish…not by a long shot.

It takes a pro Archer to pull that off.

But aside from the excellent displays of bowmanship, the destructive power of each explosion created different reactions from the audience.

Even the immortals watching felt the destructive power.

However, as if that wasn’t enough, Klaus’s calm expression only made the moment more unnerving.

“Monsters…”
