The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1059: What Truly Happened

To Klaus, what happened between him and the Heaven’s Executioner was his sparing her life.

However, he had just found out that things didn’t end like he had believed back then.

It turned out that the battle he thought had been witnessed by his undead and Paragon guards was actually witnessed by one more person.

At this very moment, Klaus was staring at the back of a woman whom, even without seeing her face, he could tell who she was.

His body was frozen in place, and all he could do was look at his mom’s back, who was having a conversation with the beaten and bruised Heaven’s Executioner.

This scene played out for three good hours until suddenly, the lady turned and looked directly at Klaus, a small smile playing on her lips, before everything went black.

The next second, Klaus and Tifa appeared back on Earth, sitting behind the table holding the glass of blood.

”That happened when you left back then,” Tifa said, setting down her glass of blood as she took on a serious expression.

”Back then, after you left, I felt the heavens call to me, commanding me to come back and undergo my punishment for failing to kill you. They spent so much only for me to fail in killing you.

So my punishment was something I couldn’t escape even if I wanted. However, just when I was about to be taken away, the lady appeared, claiming to be your spirit guardian.

Her appearance severed the hold the heavens had on me.

She told me a bit about herself, and when I lowered my guard, she offered me a choice.

The first was for me to heed the call of the heavens and continue to be their weapon, or I firmly say no, and she will offer me a chance to reclaim my fate and live my own life.”

Tifa laughed, ”That woman was sneaky and manipulative. The choices she offered me were both something that can’t be ignored.

If I were to take her first deal, I would continue to live, though it would be painful because the heavens would make sure of it.

On the other hand, if I picked the second choice, I would become the enemy of the heavens, making me turn into the very thing I was meant to go against.

Truth be told, I wanted to go with the first option.” Tifa sighed, and Klaus, who was paying attention to her expression, saw she was telling the truth. However, he didn’t know how to feel about that.

”I wasn’t you. I didn’t have that power to defy the heavens. I didn’t have the power to leave, knowing the heavens had their focus on me at every moment, waiting for me to slip up so they could have a reason to unleash their fury toward me.

So I seriously considered the first option. However, that sneaky lady then showed me a life that if I were to pick the second option she offered, I would get to have.

The life she showed me was beautiful. I would have a beautiful sister, a beautiful mother, and a hardworking father. She showed me how much I would be loved and cared for.

She showed me how peaceful my life would be, and most importantly, she showed me what a beautiful name I would be given. She showed me all this, and in the end, she let me reevaluate again.”

The expression on her face softened slightly, ”This time, the first option seemed like a waste to me. As someone born without a name, born only to become a weapon, I wanted a name, I wanted a sister, I wanted a family.

So I chose the second option, and with a smile on her face, she granted me that life. She gave me a path I could walk to claim that life. She gave me a second chance, and I took it.” Tifa smiled, feeling her happiness rise above and beyond.

However, while she was smiling, Klaus could tell she was not happy. Her happiness was overflowing, but her sadness was also eating her heart away.

”I later became the weapon I was meant to be. However, instead of killing for the heavens, I killed to protect the weak and innocent.

In no time, I made a name for myself. I became a symbol, and through the symbol, I managed to awaken the power of faith, which was the sole reason I am speaking with you right now.”

Klaus narrowed his eyes at Tifa.

”To gain the power of faith, you must either have a name or a title,” Klaus said and then added, ”You had no name, and someone running from the heavens could not use the Heavens’ Executioner as her title. So then, how did you earn the power of faith?”

Klaus asked, and Tifa smiled.

”When I renounced the heavens and chose my own path, I earned the title, the Nameless Vampire.”

”Wait a minute,” Klaus took a sip of his tea and then stared at the lady in shock, ”You were the Nameless Vampire?” he asked.

Tifa laughed, ”The one and only.”

”Unbelievable. To think someone, the only one I spared in my years of conquest, became the reason why I finally managed to fully awaken my Primordial Vampire Monarch Bloodline and entered reincarnation.” Klaus couldn’t believe his ears.

Exactly 300 years after his battle with Heaven’s Executioner, he managed to fully comprehend the Dao of Hatred, making him the first and only Paragon to have accomplished that.

Hatred was the last thread the heavens could pull, which, thanks to this Heaven’s Executioner, he was able to cut that thread by fully mastering Hatred.

However, it didn’t end there.

Just as he emerged from his 300-year seclusion, news of a female Robin Hood, who fights for the weak and innocent, began to spread.

They said her blades were sharper than any weapon and that her vengeance was both swift and precise.

They named her the Nameless Vampire.

Wherever this name was mentioned, people sang her praises. Everyone had good things to say about her.

In fact, the Paragon guards became her number one fans to the point that Magnus was forced to track this Nameless Vampire down.

When he finally did and saw her battle, something clicked in Magnus’ mind, forcing him to keep following her for 400 good years.

The last time he saw her fight was when the heavens sent down 16 guardians to kill her. The battle lasted for 12 days, and in the end, she emerged victorious.

However, Magnus also finally understood why he was following her.

It turns out, everything he watches, he battles, he gains an enlightenment which in the end has finally helped him to fully awaken his bloodline.

It turned out that every time he witnessed her battle, a part of his bloodline awakened, and for the 400 years he watched her fight, the last part of his bloodline finally awakened.

After that awakening, Magnus spent 40 years tying up loose ends before entering the reincarnation cycle for his next life.

It goes without saying that had it not been for the Nameless Vampire, he would have spent hundreds of thousands of years either killing or training to fully awaken his bloodline before reincarnation.

So, hearing the lady sitting before him was the cause, Klaus, who still hated her for who she was, was torn within, unsure how to feel at the moment.

”No need to beat yourself up. After all, the current me goes against your beliefs. However, I am still in the process of claiming my fate, so it is perfectly understandable.

However, thanks to that lady, I managed to gain a life where I was born, loved, and given a name.

Thanks to her, I was able to live a life where instead of being seen as a weapon, I was seen as a loving sister, a protective sister, and someone respected and looked up to.”

A tear fell from her eyes... ”I managed to claim a good life... yet.”
