The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 500 Blood and Iron (4)

”Mountain Cleaving Strike!” Danny jumped high into the air, rising 7 meters off the ground before crashing down hard on the monster, which was distracted by Lily.

”KO, motherf*cker!” Dannyʼs axe dug deep into the elephantʼs head, killing it instantly. Brain matter gushed out, along with blood that further drenched Dannyʼs body.

”Nice one, Danny. Remind me to talk to your old woman about letting you have more than one girlfriends,” Klaus shouted from inside the demon-killing circle.

Right now, he was immensely proud of his brute friend, who had killed one and created an opening to take down another Tier 8 brute elephant.

”Iʼd like that, Klaus,” Danny grinned, turning toward his brother Daniel, who was hammering away at the Darkness-type elephant.

”Iʼll go help him; you go assist Mark,” Danny said to Lily before charging in Danielʼs direction.

”What a brute,” Lily murmured with a slight smile before dashing toward the Tier 7 brute Mark was clashing against.

Hanna was close to finishing off her opponent, and Kathy was nearly there as well. With Lily joining Mark, the Tier 7 brute wouldnʼt last much longer.

Meanwhile, Anna and Kilian were steadily making progress, waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow.

Danny, Daniel, and Kay continued hammering, shooting, and axing at the Darkness-type Brute elephant while Klaus battled fiercely against his three opponents.

Far from the battlefield, atop a mountain, Old Lu, the dean of the academy, and Nari, the fire queen Overlord, were looking at the battlefield with calm expressions.

”It seems these kids are more monstrous than I thought,” Old Lu said, looking at how Klaus and his pals were battling the Brute Elephants.

It was, without a doubt, a sight to behold.

A few days ago, after Klaus and his friends left for their mission, Nari followed them. Old Lu, who had also been watching Klaus the past few days before they left, followed her.

He knew what Nari was trying to do, so he came to ensure she didnʼt disrupt Klaus and his friendsʼ mission.

Thankfully, she seemed to have just come to observe. However, when Klaus and his friends jumped into the ambush, Nari nearly jumped in to help them. Thankfully, Old Lu held her back.

”Of course, Klaus is my brother after all. I know he can handle this, brutes,” Nari smiled cutely.

Old Lu looked at her strangely before speaking. ”You seem different, Nari. You look more emotional in a way. Arenʼt you always emotionless?” Old Lu asked.

”I am not emotionally okay. I just donʼt want that white-haired bastard to die,” Nari said, clenching her fist.

Old Lu smirked, looking at her expression. ʼShe has emotions, but she doesnʼt know they are emotions. How weird,ʼ he thought inwardly, turning back to the battlefield.

He rubs his bald head, looking at the miracle created through Blood and Iron by Klaus and his pals.

”But I canʼt believe these kids managed to find Phoenix Flamefruits. They are very lucky,” Old Lu commented.

”Donʼt even think about taking it from them, Old Lu. I will roast you alive if you have any funny ideas,” Nari said before sending a piercing fire arrow from the tip of her finger.

Kilometres away from the battlefield, a Tier 9 wolf was pierced through the head, dying instantly. While Nari wasnʼt joining the battle, she was also not allowing others to interfere.

Old Lu could only shake his head and hope Klaus would give him one Phoenix Flamefruit after acquiring them.

Back inside the demon-killing circle, Klaus laughed and then sneered at the three brutes he was clashing against.

”Gentlemen, now that my friends are out of danger, itʼs time for me to get serious.” Klaus smiled again. Suddenly, all his spirit weapons appeared behind him.

The two Void Piercing Needles appeared. The Crescent Disc also materialized along with the Razor Disc. They all hovered behind him, making his grin widen.

He looked toward the Tier Nine Brute and sneered again.

”Be thankful, brute. I will be dedicating an entire core for you alone,” Klausʼs eyes flared red, sending a wave of mental attack that caused the Tier 9 brute to lose focus for a split second.

But that was all it took for Klaus to make his move.

”Bell of Harrows; Divine Bell.” The bell fell on Rory, who was immediately enclosed inside of it. Klausʼs core surged, and Star Qi poured into it.

Bang.

Rory attacked the bell. However, that was his mistake. A wave of soul and sonic attack hit back at him, sending a wave of pain that reached deep into his mind and soul.

”I wouldnʼt do that if I were you,” Klaus laughed before turning to the Tier 8s, who were about to experience a world of pain.

The Void-piercing Needles shot forward and began attacking. The Crescent Disc and Razor Disc also joined the fray, making Klausʼs smile widen yet again.

Now, all he had to do was stand and wait for an opening. This, of course, didnʼt take long since the four spirit weapons were moving so fast that the two couldnʼt handle it without their boss raising defence around them.

”Dragon arm guard.” Klaus activated his arm guard, making his sword tremble in delight.

”Dragon slash.” Fire surged into his sword before taking a powerful swing that immediately unleashed a fire dragon, which slammed into the Fire-type half-beast.

Its body was scorching hot from just that one attack.

”This attack will be perfect for dealing with hordes of monsters,” Klaus muttered before switching to Moon Slash. He immediately sent an arc of cracking lightning that pushed the half-beast many meters away.

”Vanishing Steps.”

Klaus vanished, and in the next second, he was in front of the Fire-type half-beast. He tapped its body, and then, like injecting energy into a person, Klaus injected a wave of ice that immediately started reacting with the monsterʼs internal heat.

Klaus quickly moved back several meters.

”Hey Rory, do you know what happens when fire and ice mix?” Klaus asked, looking smug at the Tier 9 beast, who was helpless inside the bell.

”I will tell you. When fire and ice meet, something called a boom happens. Something like this,” Klaus looked at the half-beast and muttered.

”Boom.”

The monsterʼs belly exploded, sending its organs and blood all over.

”Bastard!” Rory shouted as he smashed the bell, but that was yet another mistake. The sonic and soul energy struck him yet again, making him wince.

But, a crack appeared in the bell. However, even if it turns to his beastʼs form, the bell will enlarge and occupy it.

So he was safe to keep exploding the belly of the Tier 8 Brutes.

With his affinity for fire and ice, he gained complete control over the monsterʼs body when his ice mixed with the fire. The rest was just pushing it to explode.

”Your turn,” Klaus looked at the Tier 8 Ice-type half-beast and said. Suddenly, his body started radiating intense heat.

”Donʼt worry; you will also explode. But whether we do it the hard way or the easy way, that will be your choice,” Klaus muttered coldly before unleashing a fire arc at the monster riddled with wounds from Klausʼ spirit weapons.

The attack landed squarely, sending the beast flying back. The next second, another attack struck its body, sending it even further.

Then Klaus moved and injected the fire into its body before stepping back. He stared at Rory and mouthed,

”Boom.”
