The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 838: Reincarnated Friends (2)

(Authorʼs Note: Every one of Klausʼs friends has an impressive backstory that we will explore somewhere in the future. I will pique your curiosity by revealing something small about their past.

But trust me, you will love their backstories when I share them. And no, I wonʼt waste chapters talking about them. Instead, Iʼll share something small during a battle scene or when they spend time with Klaus.)

Kayʼs tribulation took two hours, but eventually, it ended, and like a phoenix rising from the ashes, he soared into the air, his vermilion wings spread proudly.

He had become a Phoenix with a well-pigmented body. Like Nari, he came out with four forms. The first was his human form, which essentially looked like a human—albeit a very handsome one.

This form allowed him to harness his abilities perfectly. The amount of his total strength he could unleash was unrestricted.

However, that alone didnʼt mean he could handle the hideous abominations hiding in the darkness, or the ones that would soon plague Earth.

His second form was his demi-Phoenix form, in which his wings spread proudly behind him, and his eyes turned golden-red. His body also became three times stronger, and the best part was that his speed increased fivefold.

This form was ideal for combat, as even his bow changed with him. Speaking of his bow, it had become even more elegant.

It can harness his fire essence and can be augmented by his Ancient Vermilion Phoenix bloodline, enhancing its power. All attacks were amplified five times, a giant leap compared to his human form.

Then, there was the true phoenix form, where he becomes a full-fledged Phoenix with metallic red wings that look and feel steady.

Thanks to the metallic nature of his wings, he can shoot projectiles, which are his feathers.

The sheer strength in those feathers was enough to demonstrate just how powerful he had become.

Even in his Phoenix form, he could harness some aspect of the wind to amplify his speed, which greatly shocked Queenie and her sisters.

They knew if Nari were present, she would have battled him, considering they were both Phoenixes.

So far, Earth had two Phoenixes, and the third was already on the way.

In his fourth form, thanks to Klausʼs bloodline, his class changed to a spirit master who could manifest spirit weapons using his flame element.

However, while that might indicate he had regressed compared to his other three forms, the truth was that his Fire element reached the perfect immunity stage in this form.

But that isnʼt all. The Star Monarchʼs bloodline has special effects that augment his arrows, essentially allowing him to form stronger arrows, the only types of spirit weapons he can make.

But he can harness his flame to the point where manifesting a 30-meter-long flame arrow isnʼt impossible.

This made Kay one of the powerful Tier 10 humans in the world.

The once-general of the Ancient Vermilion Phoenix race had risen from the ashes and would soon claim his title as one of the best archers in history.

After him, his friend Mark was next to go. For him, he only awakened two forms. However, both forms were much more powerful than one would expect.

They both allowed him to use the spear and the wind, but one form, which was influenced by the Star Monarch bloodline, allowed him to grow golden wheels around his heels, boosting his speed by seven times on land and in the air.

His spearmanship had also become so powerful that it was worthy of someone trained by a paragon. And as a once disciple of a paragon, he had indeed awakened as one terrifying warrior.

His impressiveness made Queenie want to trade a few moves with him, but Miguel, Klausʼs frenemy, had his breakthrough before they could spar.

They had to put that spar on hold until after the awakenings.

...Miguel was next...

Yet again, after the tribulation, another giant was born.

Miguel was no different from Danny, who was also a brute. They shared the same form, but Miguel only grew five meters instead of 15 meters like Danny.

But that form was no less terrifying.

He had awakened the Stormhorn bloodline, only found in the royal family of the Thunderborn Giant race. In the universe, they were known as one of the third strongest descendants of the original Titan (Dannyʼs) race.

They were among the few who defended the Titans during the Battle of the Giants. Thankfully, before the Titans vanished, they blessed this race by giving them their blood essence, making them a powerful brute race.

Of course, they are still not comparable to the original Titan race, but as a barbarian race blessed by Titans, Miguel became a force worth fearing.

His forms were three.

His normal human form is ideal for spending time with his loved ones. Though he didnʼt have a girlfriend, being a 5-meter-tall barbarian wouldnʼt make it easy to find one either.

So, Klausʼs Star Monarch blood solved that, making him keep his handsome, muscular human form. Perhaps when they enter the universe, he can find himself a giant barbarian girlfriend.

Then there is his Thunderborn Giant form, where he becomes an impressive 5-meter-tall barbarian clad in red armor. His lightning is also red, and his axe is even bloodier.

However, according to history, his two black horns on his forehead hold something called Lightning Berserk mode.

The horns would light up when he fought and absorb his unyielding determination. Once the horns had absorbed enough, he could use them to empower himself, becoming a Thunderborn Giant Berserker for an hour.

In his berserk form, he can harness his abilities even more impressively.

For his third form, this form allows him to grow two times bigger, meaning his current form extends to ten meters, and thatʼs a lot for someone who doesnʼt have a true Titan bloodline.

Thankfully, he wasnʼt like Danny, who needed food, so he didnʼt run away the moment he was done with his awakening.

The only thing, though, was that his human form had now become rather sexy for him, not indulging in the womanizing lifestyle of his frenemy Klaus, who even had two Overlords in his harem.

However, the only thing on his mind was for Klaus to come and trade blows with him. As a level three Ascendent, he looked forward to a good old battle with Klaus.

If only he knew the Paragon could kill him with a wave of his hand.
