The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The moment Blood Shadow broke free of the Space Lock, she charged toward Klaus with a speed several times faster than before.

She had just been humiliated by a mere mortal. So naturally, she wants him dead.

However, Klaus didn’t spend the last five minutes messing around. He had been waiting for this very moment.

She arrived before him, almost in an instant, her hand moving with a deadly stab aimed at Klaus’s chest. It was quick and decisive.

However, he moved the handle of his scythe, striking Blood Shadow’s hand and causing her stab to miss. Klaus wasted no time summoning a spirit spear.

Before Blood Shadow could gather her momentum, the spear arrived before her chest. However, she turned her body at the last second, allowing the spear to graze her armour.

Of course, she didn’t let the sudden attack or the fact that she had missed get to her. She is much more advanced in close combat than most.

Of course, that is normal considering she has already lived for thousands of years and fought many dangerous battles.

’Now.’

But then again, she had never met a Klaus in her thousands of years.

Just when she was turning her body to face Klaus, a foot came from her left, aimed at her head.

As Klaus’s foot moved, his boot remoulded itself into a somewhat jagged form, giving it a menacing look and feel. If it lands on Blood Shadow’s head, she would probably have a few spike holes on the side of her head.

However, her flexible nature as an assassin is much more advanced than Klaus anticipated, or more likely, counted on.

However, she also understrested Klaus’s combat intelligence.

Just when he saw her twist her body at an unnatural angle, a smile appeared on Klaus’s lips.

His left hand moved, and under the shocked gaze of the three immortal lords, Klaus grabbed Blood Shadow’s neck.

His right hand moved and landed a palm strike on her chest.

GASP.

Blood Shadow was thrown back, all air pulled from her lungs. Her gasp filled the air as a painful sensation travelled through her body.

Klaus appeared overhead, his scythe enlarging into a giant weapon. Before Blood Shadow could make a move to save herself, the scythe fell, and a powerful force locked onto her body.

’Fell for it,’

Klaus grinned, watching as his scythe landed on Blood Shadow’s dagger, which had a dark shield around it. She used her Shadow Law to form a shadow shield in the last second, hoping that would save her.

However, when the attack landed on her shield, she saw that her law shield wasn’t enough. Unfortunately for her, she had no more time to activate any more defensive shields.

She also could not use her immortal rings since they were sealed by Klaus’s opening move.

So the attack, which contained a part of Gravity Law, landed on her shield and sent a heavy load striking her body. She shot away like a ragdoll.

A painful look appeared in her eyes, finally.

Klaus didn’t pursue her, since the variation he had created for this sequence of attacks ended with the scythe attack. However, watching Blood Shadow cough up blood made him feel good.

The battle in his mind was one where he tried not to succumb to death. He never planned to even hurt Blood Shadow, since it was just impossible to do that.

A mortal hurting an Immortal Lord is just too much to even think about. However, now watching as blood drooled from the corner of Blood Shadow’s lips, Klaus knew he had done something he should be proud of.

But before he could bring himself to enjoy this moment, he sensed a deadly dagger formed from Shadow Law locked onto him.

”Are you kidding me?” Klaus exclaimed, his expression turning ugly.

Daggers are supposed to be small and deadly. However, what he was staring at was a 300-meter-long and approximately 70-meter-wide dagger formed from shadow essence.

It had a metallic look and feel, making Klaus’s skin crawl just looking at it.

Blood Shadow had used her Shadow Law, and it seemed she meant business, judging by how dangerous the dagger looked and felt.

If anything, it seemed she had finally had enough and wanted Klaus dead. Maybe she saw that Klaus was no easy prey and wanted him gone, or maybe she was just pissed.

Either way, her motivation to kill Klaus had reached a new height. So, tapping into her ’Super’ affinity for the Shadow Law, she unleashed the deadly dagger using 50% of her Shadow Law Essence.

[The master has no defence against this dagger. The only way out is to use the forbidden weapons.]

’No. I would never use those weapons in this battle.’

[I thought so. Then the master can use the technique now, since he has bought himself three more minutes.]

’Good.’

The dagger moved, and Klaus also made his move. He clapped his hands together and spoke some incantations in an ancient language, instantaneously manifesting runes.

”Khar’va vajra’kael skarn.”

A large silhouette of a bearded man with six pairs of hands appeared and covered Klaus’s body. Well, Klaus is tiny, so he remained standing inside the colossal body - stomach to be precise.

Ten of the twelve hands held a weapon, one of which was a shield. It moved, and just as the dagger arrived, and shielded Klaus, causing the giant dagger to land on it.

BOOM

A powerful shockwave erupted from the impact, travelling far and wide. Even the void was shaken, and a few cracks appeared, showing how deadly the strike was.

However, Klaus didn’t move an inch; instead, two more hands moved, one holding a mace, the other an axe.

One strike came from the left and the other from the right. As they moved, sonic booms came from them, tearing the void in the process—a clear sign of the danger, speed, and strength contained in the two strikes.

BOOM.

They landed on the dagger, shattering it into a mist of shadows.

Far in the distance, Blood Shadow furrowed her brow behind her half mask. ”Impossible...”

She was clearly in shock, considering her law-forged dagger was defended against—something that even Immortal Monarchs could not do.

Even worse, when the dagger was defended against, Klaus didn’t even take a step back. It was like the dagger was nothing but a breeze.

That was mind-blowing for her.

But Klaus even went ahead and did the impossible. With two deadly attacks, her law-forged dagger was destroyed, leaving her drained of 50% of her Shadow Law Essence.

That was not something she had seen coming. While she was aiming to kill Klaus, for this once, she let herself slow down and process what had just happened.

Unfortunately for her, Klaus, who had decided to burn half his life force to activate this technique, wasn’t about to let precious life force burn for nothing.

”Woman, I didn’t activate the Undying Immortal Art for you to admire,” Klaus said, muttering another line of incantation in the same strange language.

One of the hands not holding a weapon moved, and with a terrifying push, Klaus sent a palm strike at Blood Shadow, who suddenly sensed her life in danger.
