The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 772: Against All Odds (5)

Many millions of years ago, there was a young lady who, against all odds, chose to become a warrior. She was never liked after making that decision, for she came from a family of pacifists.

They despised killing, and despite the changes happening around them, they still stuck to their beliefs. The world and people were evolving, yet they chose to remain the same.

So she moved away, and that was when she met a warrior friend who took her in and started helping her navigate the complex world of warriors.

Slowly, they became best friends, and together, they travelled the world, fighting monsters and zombies.

On one of their hunts, they met an injured young man they all recognised at first sight.

This young man, despite his overwhelming strength, was called an abomination because his nature didnʼt align with everyone elseʼs. He was different.

He was different, and so, aside from his mother, everyone hated him in the entire world. Yet every single day, he tried his best to keep the lives of those who hated him safe.

This was his way of making people like him. But despite his efforts, he never gained the friends he craved—until he met these two ladies.

When they saw him on the brink of death after single-handedly stopping a monster tide that could have killed thousands, they offered to help him.

He hesitated, for he knew if he were to die now, all the hatred would be over. However, just when he was giving up, the young lady who was supposed to be a pacifist yet chose to become a warrior looked at his weapon and said,

”You have to live so you can teach me how to use the scythe.”

That one statement changed her life and that of her friend. This young man also gained the friends he craved for many years.

His life changed, and for years, he lived happily.

Until the darkness came. When it came down to it, this lady looked at him and smiled before saying one last word:

”You still didnʼt teach me how to use the scythe.”

Queen Lunara moved through the air with blazing flames trailing behind her as she clashed with the level 4 Ant King, who seemed to be the only True Beast among the three kings.

She had already cut some parts of the Ant Kingʼs body while she was still looking clean and elegant.

All over the world, the Moonborns were clenching their fists, watching their Queen—who, to many, was known as the Warrior Queen.

They all survived to this point simply because of her. Her battle prowess is what separates her from everyone else whenever she is in battle.

She was the force that kept the Moon Borns safe all those years they were on the moon. To many, she is a queen, but to her, she is a warrior who doesnʼt back down from a fight.

”Giant Scythe Form”

She moved back, creating distance between herself and the Ant King before swinging her scythe. The weapon elongated and then slammed into the Ant King, who used its weapon to block the piercing tip of the scythe.

It was thrown through the air.

Queen Lunara appeared above and unleashed a downward slash, sending a crimson arc that landed on the body of the Ant King, sending it flying even farther.

She turned and looked at Klaus, who was evading and weaving his way through the terrifying attacks of the Spider demon.

”Keep holding on for now, Klaus. Iʼll be done soon,” she muttered before turning toward her daughter, who was now exuding the power of blood.

”This…” she whispered before having to turn away when she sensed the monster return to battle again.

Meanwhile, Queenie was now exuding the crimson mist of blood as her speed, strength, and stamina kept rising the longer the battle dragged on.

If Klaus were around and observing this, he would have said something along the lines of:

”She has unlocked the Asura Aura.”

He himself had once held that aura in his life as the Asura God. This particular aura has two forms that every Asura-born possesses.

The first is drawing power from the blood on the battlefield. This is the strongest form—especially if thereʼs a pool of blood present.

However, without a pool of blood, she can use the second form, which she is using now. This one is dangerous, but she wonʼt feel it until the battle is over.

This form allows her to burn her own blood to enhance her speed, strength, and stamina.

At this very moment, Queenie was doing exactly that, which was why she had already injured the monster in more than a dozen places.

She had the highest chance of killing her opponent among the three ladies.

But it was only natural, considering every Asura-born was a natural-born warrior. They were made for battle, and she had lived a full life where she rose to a step just below the god stage.

This meant she was no simple person, and looking at how she was devastating the Ant King now, it was safe to say she would become a terror the moment she awakened her bloodline and began recovering the better part of her memories as the Asura Queen—who once led an army against the Heavenly Court, one of Klausʼs many enemies in every life.

Back to Klausʼs battle…

Klaus was betting everything on the Spider Demon, exhausting its 1,002 possible outcomes of his death. For a whole hour, Klaus had relied on his advantage: possession of clones he could switch with.

He started with 22 clones, and now, after an hour of battle, he had only 3 left.

However, he still hadnʼt found a way to counter the moves of the Demon Spider, who wasnʼt even taking his attacks seriously.

But right when the clock struck 1 hour and 12 minutes into the battle, the Spider Demon noticed something it didnʼt see coming.

”No need to look angry. I was in your shoes many years ago when a demon shaman used it against me.”

Klaus smiled as he formed a seal, causing multiple runes to appear in the air.

The moment they appeared, the Void was sealed, and the Demon Spider felt its rank drop from the peak Void Stage to the peak Ascendant Stage.

”Only one realm, huh? No problem,” Klaus laughed.

”25 minutes.” He flew up and stopped when he was high enough. A prayer mat appeared beneath him, causing Klaus to sit on it.

”Why donʼt we play the ancient story game?”
