The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 466 Like Old Times

The space cracked, and Dean Lufy stepped out before it closed. However, instead of moving after landing on the ground, Dean Lufy stood there, his expression suggesting he was deep in thought.

It took him five whole minutes to calm himself.

”He called me Uncle Monk, and for some reason, I liked that. What is this strange feeling? Why does it feel like Iʼm forgetting something very important?” Dean Lufy muttered with a small frown.

When Klaus mistakenly called him Uncle Monk, something stirred within him—a feeling that made him believe he was forgetting something.

Something that held deep meaning to him. Something that might explain this strange feeling in his heart.

Ever since he first saw Klausʼs image trending online, heʼd felt a sense of familiarity with him. And now, seeing him in person, he couldnʼt shake the feeling that he was meant to know him—and more than that, to protect him.

”I need to meditate,” he muttered, entering his room and beginning to meditate like a monk. A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and stood up.

”I canʼt concentrate,” he said before leaving the room. A few seconds later, he vanished. His next destination was a Forbidden Zone, where he planned to kill some monsters to release stress.

He wasnʼt known as the Battle Monk for nothing.

The space cracked open once more on top of the academyʼs mountain, and Nari flew out, holding Klaus in her arms. The look in her eyes was far from encouraging.

”Youʼre a crazy woman, you know that, right?” Klaus said the moment he gained his freedom.

Nari stuck out her tongue and called out playfully, ”Big sister, I brought your boyfriend!”

She turned to Klaus, flashing a teasing smile.

”In two weeks, Iʼll come down and live with you. Donʼt you dare dirty the room?”

With that, she vanished, leaving Klaus frowning behind her. A few moments later, Klaus snapped out of his daze when he sensed someone appears behind him.

He turned around and saw Queenie staring at the tattoo on his back. The moment he faced her, she also snapped out of her daze.

”That sister of yours is crazy,” Klaus said, walking toward Queenie, who stood there with a small smile on her face.

”Youʼll get used to it,” she replied, watching as Klaus approached.

Her heart skipped a beat when their eyes met. Fortunately for her, Klaus didnʼt do what she was anticipating. Instead, he gently took her hand and pointed to a tall building perched atop the mountain.

”Wanna watch the sunset with me, like old times?” Klaus asked. Queenie was quick to nod. If he hadnʼt asked, she would have.

Klausʼs lightning angel wings appeared, and he wrapped an arm around her waist. Moments later, they were atop the building, settled at the edge. Explore stories at

”Thatʼs a long way down,” Queenie said, peeking over the edge.

Klaus chuckled, his thoughts drifting back to when they first watched the sunset together in the Stone Valley. Back then, sheʼd said the same thing. He smiled, knowing she would survive even if she fell from space.

”You donʼt have to be afraid. This young master is here to protect you,” Klaus said, slipping in a shameless comment as always.

As expected, Queenie smiled. After a small hesitation, she rested her head on Klausʼs shoulder.

Nari, watching them from kilometers away, grinned mischievously.

”Nice one, big sis. Now all thatʼs left is to get into his pants.”

Cough.

Queenie coughed, making Klaus turn to face her.

”Are you okay?” Klaus asked with a caring gaze.

”I am fine,” Queenie said. Inwardly, though, she was raining all kinds of insults on Nari for making such a snarky comment. Nari tuned the wavelength, making sure Queenie heard everything she said.

Nari had an ability that allowed her to hear from hundreds of miles away. In fact, in the entire world, her hearing abilities were unmatched.

This allowed her to pick up even the smallest sounds if she wanted to and also transmit her voice across miles using the same method.

Of course, it wasnʼt the only ability she wielded, but that was by far her most used skill, considering she liked to spy on people and learn more about them.

The overlords dared not gossip behind her back, nor would they want to test her other abilities—one of which even Queenie didnʼt know. It was her strongest ability, and she wouldnʼt let even her closest family and friends know about it.

Well...

”How have you been, Queenie? Is everything going well?” Klaus asked after sitting in silence for a few minutes.

”I am fine. And if youʼre asking about the alliance with the Moon People, that, too, is going well. I met with the other Overlords, and they are now working around the clock to get the union leaders on board.”

”I see. Itʼs good that things are working out well,” Klaus said, nodding.

If things go well, the Moon People will move to Earth, saving them from the constant attacks by the Lunar Beasts.

With 70% of the moon occupied by Lunar Beasts, they would sooner rather than later be overrun. They couldnʼt do much against such a relentless onslaught despite their strength.

Of course, once they leave, they can team up with the humans and potentially liberate the moon from the Lunar Beasts later.

”How about you? How is the move to the academy?” Queenie asked.

”So far, I am managing. Although I would love to get into some action immediately, things seem to be picking up better than I had hoped.

But I donʼt think Iʼll have much fun, considering the crazy redhead has now made me a feared individual to all,” Klaus replied with a smile, shaking his head.

”Well, youʼve made yourself a feared disciple when you sneak up on a sovereign like itʼs a walk in the park,” Queenie smirked.

She had witnessed everything while piercing through the void.

”Itʼs not my fault those idiots are weak. The sovereign lady is decent, considering she awakened her fire element and even leveled it up. The others, though, I donʼt think they could last a single strike,” Klaus bragged.

Queenie smiled, knowing all he had said was indeed true. If it had been before Klaus helped her pass her tribulation, she would have doubted him.

But after seeing the techniques and skills he unleashed during the tribulation, she now saw him in a new light. The young man beside her was a monster among monsters.

”How did you do that? You know, how did you suddenly appear behind her?” Queenie asked.

Although she had seen his movement, which was almost like teleportation, it wasnʼt the teleportation she knew.

Teleportation is a default skill every warrior receives after breaking through to the Sovereign stage. But Klaus isnʼt a Sovereign, so how could he suddenly appear behind Sofia?

”Iʼll tell you if you kiss me,” Klaus said with a cute smile.

Queenieʼs cheeks immediately turned red upon hearing such a shameless request. Of course, she wasnʼt about to give in to his demand.

But then Klaus whispered something into her ear, immediately making her lift her head and clench her fists.
