The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

”Am I hallucinating?” Estelle asked, looking out the window of the spaceship at the space battle. She added, ”First it was Void Law, then Time Law, and now he is controlling thousands of spirit weapons while also fighting with full focus.”

”Just what kind of mental strength does he have?”

All five of them were blown away by the sheer shocking sight Klaus was giving them. In their eyes, a mortal like Klaus shouldn’t be able to face three True Immortals and six Real Immortals and be able to last a second.

However, it had already been five minutes, and looking at the wounds littering the bodies of the nine remaining Blood Shadows, Ophelia and her guards knew Klaus was having the upper hand.

All three True Immortals had unleashed their immortal rings, boosting their attack power. However, with the influx of attacks coming from the spirit weapons, the boost they got wasn’t doing much.

”I guess when they said Spirit Masters are scary, this is what they meant,” Ophelia muttered. Then she added in a quiet tone, ”Not even Father was this scary when he was a Real Immortal.”

Just like Klaus, her father is also a Spirit Master. He is one of the powerful Immortal Lords in the Milky Way Galaxy simply because he is a spirit master.

However, from the clips she had seen of her father growing up, not even he was able to command close to ten thousand weapons.

However, Klaus is doing just that and still making it look easy.

Unbeknownst to them, while Klaus was indeed controlling thousands of spirit weapons, he wasn’t using his mind to lift as he should have. Instead, he was using his soul.

Klaus isn’t the traditional kind of Spirit Master. His ability as a Spirit Master came from his Weapons Overlord class, not a true Class on it. So while he may have 450 minds to harness this many weapons, they were instead being lifted into the air by his soul.

And while he didn’t even bother asking, his nine soul bodies were having a field day inside his soul sea. They shared the weapons among themselves, and based on what Klaus’s Hivemind perceived, they took action.

It is like the saying, ”to attain enlightenment, let your mind, body, and soul be one.” Klaus had reached that level, and as such, the weapons in the air were moving under his command, but as the command of his nine soul bodies.

So in reality, as Klaus grows and unlocks more weapons, he can summon more with less mental stress until one day he alone becomes strong enough to command millions of spirit weapons into battle.

Because of this uniqueness, what a spirit master could do using the full potential of their mind, Klaus needs only 2% of his mind.

Of course, until he is strong enough, there are still some weapons he wouldn’t show, unless he is sure he can kill all around. He wouldn’t want the universe seeing such weapons.

He also avoided the spears and swords he used during his time in the Blood Tournament. There are videos of them, so he avoided using them just to be on the safe side.

Today, he is merely showing everyone why he is the only Weapons Overlord in the universe.

SHRRRRKKK

A disc-shaped spirit weapon sliced at the neck of a slender and flexible-looking Real Immortal, who was wielding two short swords. She used one sword to block the attack, creating a metallic grinding sound.

The force from the disc pushed her back, sending her staggering through space. If she were on the ground, she would have created craters with every step.

The overwhelming strength behind the disc was a result of Klaus putting some pressure on his Hivemind and soul.

Thankfully, she is no lousy Real Immortal, so she fought back.

With a push, she managed to regain her footing. Then she unleashed a flame arc with her sword, attempting to split the disc in half.

However, before that could happen, the disc itself split into 400 smaller discs, buzzing like bees as they swarmed her, forcing her to unleash a small tornado of flame.

This quick thinking of hers managed to push back the discs; however, before she could move away, three orbs arrived in front of her and sprayed a reddish smoke on her face.

”AAAAAAAAAAARGH”

She screamed, shutting her eyes as a burning sensation crept into her brain. ”My eyes,” she shouted, feeling a melting sensation moving from within to the surface.

Not too far from her, the High-Level True Immortal who was locked in with Klaus and three deadly spirit weapons stole a glance at her teammate, only to see her face melting like rubber.

This sight sent chills down her spine. She is the leader of the ten-assassin unit sent by the Blood Shadows, Rose.

”Bastard, what did you do to her?” Rose blocked a deadly attack from Klaus with one dagger and was about to retaliate when a meter-long ancient revolver appeared from behind Klaus and fired three lightning-piercing bullets.

This forced her to move back and defend, giving Klaus enough chance to respond and retaliate. ”I wanted to smooth her makeup. Guess I picked the wrong foundation or whatever you call it.”

Klaus snapped his finger, and three thick black needles vanished and reappeared before Rose, giving her little to no time to react before a deadly scythe came from overhead, aiming to split her skull.

She spun her body, evading both needles, and with deadly finesse, she used her dagger to block the scythe.

Then, with gentle control, she reached into the momentum and spun the scythe, letting it strike air, splitting the void apart.

Her slender leg moved, and a dagger-like blade appeared at the tip of her boot, aiming to pierce Klaus’s skull. Since it was coated in poison, she aimed to poison him.

Halfway, however, Klaus’s firm hand grabbed her moving leg, and he winked, sending a chill down her spine. Then, like the Hulk body-slamming a certain god of mischief, Klaus didn’t discriminate.

BANG BANG BANG

Klaus smashed her into solid ground that he formed from his [Space Law] and [Metal & Earth Element].

Her body folded unnaturally as he drove her down, his grip unyielding, his strength absolute. The void rippled violently as Rose was slammed again and again and again, each impact sending shockwaves through the surrounding battlefield.

BANG BANG BANG

Inside the spaceship, Ophelia and her guards were horrified to see how Klaus was treating the lady. Even though they were being chased down by her, the abuse was too much.

However, looking at the smile on Klaus’s face, they knew he was enjoying every last bit of it,

Space itself fractured under the body slams.

By the time Klaus released her leg, Rose was already spinning uncontrollably, blood trailing behind her like a crimson ribbon. Her internal organs felt as if they had been rearranged, shattered, then crushed again.

She barely managed to stabilize herself, coughing violently as blood sprayed from her lips. Her beautiful form has been replaced by a broken doll who thinks the universe plays by her rules.

How?

She was a High-Level True Immortal. An elite assassin forged through countless life-and-death missions. Yet just now, she had been treated like nothing more than a toy.

And to make matters worse, her abuser was nothing but a Mortal she wouldn’t look twice at on a rainy day.

Bloodwork, of course, devours the blood, weakening her further.
