The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 553 The Awakening of Monsters (5)

Kayʼs awakening was just like everyone elseʼs—eye-catching.

Every one of Klausʼs friends had become some of the most powerful saints in the world at the moment. They not only awakened powerful elements but also gained aspects, aspect abilities, powerful skills, and formidable soul weapons.

Basically, everything about them defied logic. Queenie and Nari, who had been accompanying them for the past few days, began to think that maybe these young individuals were just like Klaus.

That was especially true for Queenie, who, in a way, already knew Klaus was an incarnation from her past life. Of course, she wasnʼt entirely sure, but she had no idea Klaus was, in fact, more than that.

However, now she seemed convinced that perhaps Klausʼs friends were also reincarnators, just like her.

When Kay became a saint, he naturally awakened the fire element since he had an affinity for it. He also gained a single aspect with two abilities, a skill, and a soul weapon, just like his friends.

However, these werenʼt the most shocking things that happened to him. No, aside from all these incredible developments, Kay also awakened two pairs of wings from a bloodline of phoenixes known as the Azureflame Phoenix.

This, of course, means he has the potential to awaken the bloodline of the Azureflame Phoenix fully. However, since that is a story for another day, we can only focus on what we know.

He awakened a flame element called [Infernal Azure Ember]. From the name alone, one could tell it relates to the wings he awakened, which also links to his potential lineage as a phoenix.

The aspect he awakened is called [Blazing Precision]. This aspect allows him to wield his bow and flame arrows with both devastating might and lethal precision.

The first ability, [Inferno Precision], allows him to achieve unparalleled accuracy using flame particles. In this form, no matter the distance, as long as there are fire particles in the air, he will never miss.

Of course, this depends on the presence of flame particles in the air. But that wouldnʼt be a problem, considering the second ability takes care of this.

The second ability is called [Molten Trail]. This ability leaves a fiery trail in his wake whenever he fires an arrow.

This will, of course, generate fire particles that he can use to harness the first ability.

Itʼs as though the two abilities were designed to complement each other perfectly.

As for the skill he received, it is, without a shred of doubt, destined to be his most powerful skill forever.

Itʼs called [Incendiary Shot]. Unlike typical arrow-molding skills like [Hellfire Arrow], this one is an augmentation-type skill.

When used, it enhances his bow and arrow, making them several times more powerful. The most notable aspect of this skill is that the moment it is activated, it grants the arrow an incredible boost in explosive power.

In fact, as its name suggests, the skill ensures that every augmented arrow carries an incinerating effect. This means each arrow enhanced with [Incendiary Shot] becomes a potential trump card against any opponent.

This means if he uses the [Hellfire Arrow Tempering Art] to temper a hundred arrows with [Incendiary Shot], he will have a hundred potential trump cards.

As for his soul weapon, itʼs a sleek obsidian bow with fiery veins running through its frame. It appears majestic, especially with the blue flames dancing across its body. It is called [Ignis Arc].

Kayʼs flame is extraordinarily beautiful—a radiant blue flame.

[Sub-title: Awaking of the Viking Warmonger]

Of course, Kathy awakened a powerful lightning element, and Hanna did the same with her own formidable lightning.

Anna manifested her overpowered ice and water element, Lily followed with her wind element, then Kilian with his fire, Daniel with his fire, Mark with his wind, and Kay with her fire as well.

However, there was one person who, so far, stands out as the most badass among Klausʼs friends—Danny.

Danny doesnʼt possess any flashy offensive element like the rest of his friends. No, Danny has only the light element, something he seemingly couldnʼt use actively in combat—or so they thought.

When Danny awakened, it was as if an angel had descended from the heavens and bestowed upon him the title of the Divine Warrior.

The brute became a force so overwhelming that when he appeared in battle, the ripple effects would, without a doubt, be mind-numbing.

Danny awakened a powerful light energy called [Radiant Valor]. This golden light strengthened and enhanced his appearance, making him strikingly handsome.

In fact, the once bulky brute has become more refined. His previously dark hair now gleams with a golden hue, further adding to his charm and making him even more attractive.

His physique has also transformed, becoming far more polished—outshining even Daniel, who was literally tempered in flame.

Danny now exudes an aura of power and elegance, surpassing his friend in refinement and appearance.

But itʼs not just the color of his light element that sets him apart; itʼs the unique capabilities of [Radiant Valor] in combat.

Like Annaʼs water element, Dannyʼs light element possesses both passive and active healing properties, making him a vital presence on the battlefield.

Strangely, he awakened two aspects, neither of which had any specific aspect ability. However, considering the descriptions of these aspects, asking for additional abilities would be overkill.

The first aspect, [Aurora Vitalis], focuses on healing himself and his allies. During the battle, those within a 4 km radius, if deemed allies, will receive a 30% increase in stamina regeneration.

But thatʼs not all— their health also gains a 40% regeneration boost. Additionally, the rate at which they accumulate fatigue is halved.

For himself, itʼs even more potent. He gains an instant 50% boost in regeneration across all stats, lasting as long as he has the mental capacity to continue or remains alive.

With mental fatigue halved, this means he can endure far longer before reaching his limits.

The second aspect, [Solar Might], amplifies strength, increasing his alliesʼ power by 50% and his own by 80%. This boost is more than anyone could ask for, especially in situations where they face stronger opponents.

Aside from the strength boost, his light element nullifies 98% of all status debuffs. Essentially, any form of status debuff wonʼt affect him or his allies.

Furthermore, this aspect allows him to purify or resist dark powers. While foes are being purified, allies with dark powers gain a 10% boost in their abilities.

Itʼs like taking from the devil and giving to the demons. This aspect is undeniably powerful and dope as fuck.

But the most impressive aspect of him is his voice. Whenever he gives a war cry, his alliesʼ morale on the battlefield receives a huge boost, instantly raising their attack power based on their collective determination.

Basically, Danny came with all the right buffs that everyone could benefit from, making him the most valuable asset Klaus could have on his side.

His soul weapon is also a powerful one. It is called [Luminaxe, the Dawn Reaper], a massive two-handed axe with an edge that glows like molten gold. Itʼs both imposing and adorned with a large blade bathed in golden elegance.

As for the skill he received, itʼs called [Shimmering Sweep.] It allows him to spin the axe in a wide circle, releasing blinding arcs of light that cut through multiple enemies.

Itʼs not fancy, but it holds great potential.

The moment Danny became a saint and solidified his realm. All eight of Klausʼs friends participated in their inner disciple trials, and within a week, they climbed the stairs and became inner disciples.

But it wasnʼt just them who created miracles; some of the people closer to Klaus also awakened powerful elements skills, and a few even were fortunate enough to awaken soul weapons.

Though few, it was still a boon for the academy and the Yin-Yang Faction.

This is especially true of the techniques Klaus provided.

Miguel has now become a menace. He awakened a lightning element with a single aspect that makes every attack from his axe ignore 70% of the enemyʼs defense.

He became an inner disciple along with his team. Soon, all members of the Yin-Yang Palace faction climbed the stairs, leaving the outer disciple rank behind. Enjoy exclusive chapters from

Right now, Klaus is the only member in the outer section of the Yin-Yang Palace, as he still hasnʼt become an inner disciple yet.

But while friends are growing, foes are also emerging. As they say, good and evil walk hand in hand.
