The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1016: Nine-Headed Ancient Hydra Dragon Living Armour

”I know what you are thinking at the moment, trust me, I also thought the same thing. However, I’ve come to terms with it, and now you must do the same.

Believe it or not, but the leader of the Nine Beasts of Doom that contributed to the fall of the Primordial Era had been refined into a Living Armour.

I don’t know how that was achieved, but from what I do know, even the one who refined it hadn’t had the courage to wear it.

However, you have already fused with 0.001% of this Living Armour, and the results are something you never saw coming, did you?”

Klaus closed the book and took a big sigh. Then his mind moved back to when he first entered the dungeon. Naturally, back then, he entered what was referred to as an inheritance tower.

His mission was to kill the Nine Hell Demons of the Tormented World, which he did.

However, he discovered that after the first kill, their armor could be absorbed by him with every kill. Throughout the nine trials, he absorbed all their armor, resulting in a sleek yet powerful alien-like armor that he could tell had the power to help him in fighting several realms above his own.

Not only did the armor give him an additional strength boost, but it also had great defense and overpowered healing abilities.

However, just when he thought that was all there was to know about the Living Armor, a new discovery was made. Standing there, knowing the Living Armor was behind him, his heart quaked within him.

”So I was merely sent in that trial to inherit the key to this armor. Why did I feel like I was conspired against?” Klaus let out a small smile and looked at the book in his hand.

”I do know that fusing with this Living Armor will make you a dangerous warrior with little to no fear of death. But the price to pay will be high, after all, this is an armor refined from the Nine-Headed Ancient Hydra Dragon.”

Klaus flipped to the 4th page and continued to read.

”The price to be paid is rather simple. You need ten times the wealth you would initially need if you hadn’t met this armor. However, now that you have, you must prepare adequately.

That said, the armor devours rare metals, powerful spiritual Qi-rich treasures, and anything that is expensive, ancient, and deadly.

At the moment, this Living Armor can be regarded as a Peak Nether Stage warrior or even an Early Stage Domain Stage warrior, depending on how pure your soul is when you fuse with it.

Also, if your soul is not pure enough, it might devour your consciousness and turn you into its puppet. But you are the Paragon of the Nine Stars, so I am not worried.

After you fuse with it, you can go ahead and name it. You will be able to communicate with it and even hear its demands.

Now, let’s explore the uses I’ve discovered after studying it.

First, aside from allowing you to use it as armor, you have the free will to will it to turn into any armor or cloth for you. This means that after fusing with it, unless you choose to wear normal human clothes, it can become any type of cloth you want.

Second, you can transform it or a part of it into an indestructible weapon if you want, though if you were to see what I prepared for you on the third floor, you wouldn’t use this feature.

Third, after fusing with it, you will gain affinity for nine different Laws: Time, Space, Chaos, Void, Life, Death, Gravity, Dimension, and Elemental.

So instead of now learning all these Laws before somehow gaining affinity, this armor will grant you that, and on top of that, it will make comprehending these nine Laws ten times faster.

I even believe that as it grows stronger, your comprehension speed will grow as well.

Lastly, it can conceal your aura to the point that even gods will struggle to sense your cultivation base. That said, after it reaches the Life and Death Stage, your cultivation base will become invisible to even Celestials.

That is all I managed to gather from this Living Armor. So, figure the rest out, and please don’t hesitate to fuse with it. You already have the imprint, so all that’s left for you to do is merely touch it, and the fusion process will start.”

Klaus turned away from the book and sighed.

”The rewards aren’t simple at all. However, this is the Nine-Headed Ancient Hydra Dragon we are talking about.

If I remember correctly, the Nine-Headed Ancient Hydra Dragon has a knack for one thing, and that is devouring planets.

Now, while I planned on devouring some planets myself, it is what happens after the devouring process that makes it extremely dangerous.”

Klaus let out a faint smile, ”Now, if going on a killing spree is bad, this dragon goes on a killing spree in mortal worlds, devouring innocent humans.”

Klaus didn’t know if this was the kind of existence he wanted to be bound with. However, as if the heavens were mocking him, his mind turned to the fact that his world was in danger and that he needed all hands on deck.

”Then again, if I were fighting against the heavens, I might as well have something they hated become my armor.”

Klaus laughed, ”I mean, what could possibly go wrong?”

Klaus sighed and closed the book, storing it in his space ring. He slowly turned around, and lo and behold, his eyes landed on the blackish-red substance moving wildly in a glass chamber.

”Venom ain’t got nothing on me,” Klaus laughed and walked close to the glass chamber. He looked at the Living Armor now moving like a living murky water and smiled weakly.

”So I will be fusing with you. I don’t know what will happen over the next couple of thousand years, but I want you to know that you will become my armor, and I will do everything in my power to ensure you reach your highest potential.

That said, ain’t no going to be devouring innocent humans, so be a good boy and let big daddy Klaus fuse with you.”

Klaus pressed his hand against the glass, and in an instant, the glass gave way, and his hand came close to the watery substance.

”Wow,” Klaus wasn’t even done moving towards the substance when it moved and entered his palm. Klaus instantly felt his world darken, and then he passed out.

It happened in an instant.

Klaus fell backwards and landed on the ground.

His body didn’t twitch or anything. It was just that slowly, his clothes were covered by a blackish-red substance that formed a cocoon around him.

Inside the cocoon, Klaus’s mind appeared in a strange place. The world he appeared in was bathed in different colors of lightning.

There was black lightning, red, white, and even golden lightning that, at a single glance, Klaus could tell were Law Lightning.

ROAR

Suddenly, a roar that contained nine different intents filled the place, bringing a powerful aura bearing down on Klaus.

In the clouds, a large dragon head moved, then another moved, and before long, all nine heads moved.

”Paragon of the Nine Stars... It seems destiny or fate brought us together again.” A cold and sinister voice of death reached Klaus’s ears, bringing a cold look into his eyes.

Memories flowed into Klaus’s mind in that instant.
