The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1090: Meeting Rania

Rania held a beaming smile as she stared at three people she couldn’t believe she was seeing with her own two eyes.

Asmodeus also held a smile.

Among the three undead, he is the only one who seems to have a free nature with mortals. Alesi is only free with Klaus’s wives, and Eryx is cold to everyone.

After the wedding, Klaus told them to go ensure their visitor did not do anything funny.

Klaus knew Eryx alone was enough, but he wanted the two to join him since he learned Rania was chummy with Eryx simply because back home, a 600-meter statue of the one-eyed demon stood tall.

His name is on every warrior’s lips.

Caelmir was Magnus’s homeworld, and as such, after he saved them during the Awakening, they finally saw reason, and so he became their idol alongside his three undead, five wives, and his mother.

”So, is Caelmir still standing?” Asmodeus asked, a little shocked.

Rania nodded, ”It is one of the powerful worlds in the Human Universe.”

”I see. I guess they learned their lesson and chose to change their ways,” Asmodeus said with a sigh.

Suddenly, the door to the hall opened and Klaus walked in, causing Rania’s eyes to widen in shock.

”It-It is you,” her voice faltered, struggling to contain her shock.

Klaus smiled and nodded, ”I guess so.”

”Oh my... This is the best day of my life,” Rania pulled out her camera and walked toward Klaus.

”Please, Lord Paragon, allow me to take just one selfie with you,” Rania looked at Klaus with a pleading gaze.

Klaus just smiled and nodded. He is already used to people taking pictures with him. Of course, he is doing this because after the Awakening, many people would forget he is a Paragon.

It is a way for him to maintain his anonymity before he reached the God Stage.

Of course, he wouldn’t be the one to determine that since the Nine Paragon Stars are the ones that do that. Of course, Rania met him, so she will still remember, just like all those he had relations with in the past.

But all his enemies wouldn’t be able to recognize him.

So a picture with Rania wouldn’t do any harm to him or her.

She probably will only show it to her friends.

After 30 pictures, Rania smiled and walked back.

Klaus could only shake his head, looking at her childish personality despite being over 200 years old.

’Evolution is weird,’ he said inwardly, and then he sat down to face Rania.

”You can call me Klaus,” he said, and Rania nodded.

”I am Rania, a member of the Flying Valkyries in the Caelmir Army. I was sent here by my queen to deliver a message to you.”

Rania took out a small crystal from her space ring and handed it to Klaus. Then she stood up to leave.

”Where are you going?” Klaus asked...

”It is a message from the Queen. I dare not hear what she has to say. Even if I caught a whiff of it, it can be considered treason for which I will be executed.”

”Too bad you are on Earth where the rules don’t apply.” Klaus smiled, ”Go ahead, sit down.”

Rania hesitated for a moment, but seeing the nonchalant look on Klaus’s face, she sighed and sat back down.

Klaus has been around for a long time, so he knew how to operate a message crystal. He channeled his energy into the crystal, and a projection of a woman with long, dark hair, beautiful human features, and a gaze that suggested she was dangerous, appeared.

Klaus raised his brow, seeing some resemblance in this woman to his own mother.

’Maybe she is from Mom’s family back on Caelmir,’ he said to himself, but chose to focus on what she had to say.

”Hi, Paragon. I am Queen Leah, the 269th generation Leader of the Caelmir race. On behalf of my people and my predecessors, I thank you for your sacrifice for coming through for us when all hope was lost.

We thank you and would do everything in our power to repay you in any way you want us to.” Klaus paused the transmission and smirked, feeling like he was hearing a big joke.

From the day he awakened as a Vampire, they all despised him and his mother. Of course, he later found out it was the doing of the heavens.

But back then, he was too consumed with anger that his hatred for every last soul on Caelmir had already taken firm hold.

It was to the point that he had to live elsewhere, or he might become the next Awakening; they couldn’t win, no matter how hard they tried.

So hearing her words, even if this was the 269th generation of Caelmir, he didn’t really care. To him, the world that rejected him is nothing to him anymore.

However, looking at the face that shared a resemblance to his own mother, he couldn’t help but recall the promise he made to his mom back then.

’They are lucky they had such an amazing woman. I would have abandoned them long before the Awakening came.’

Rania seemed to have a fair idea of what was going on through Klaus’s mind... so she chose to defend her people in her own way.

”I know you are probably angry, that you despise us. However, know that we have come a long way. We regret how we treated you at the time.

It was our stupidity for not seeing how great you were. It was only after we lost you that we came to the realisation that you were never our enemy, that you were not an abomination.

So we changed, and as generations came, we tried to make it up to you. Of course, we will forever be known as the race that rejected their saviour. However, we want to do better, and I believe we have done and are still doing.”

Klaus smiled, seeing the serious expression on Rania’s face...

”Don’t worry about it, Rania. It was my world too, and I made my mom a promise to always defend and protect it, so even if it were to face a calamity today, I wouldn’t hesitate to take up arms.

Call it a Paragon’s Promise, and I never break my word... never.”

Rania nodded with a smile.

Asmodeus, Eryx, and Alesi knew their master was telling the truth. ’Master never breaks his promise. So if he promises to kill you, then even after generations have passed, he will still find you and fulfil his promise.’

That is how dedicated he is.

He promised his mom, and so even if his life is on the line, he wouldn’t hesitate to keep that promise.

’They should be thankful to her. Her selflessness has saved them, so they should be grateful.’

Klaus took a deep sigh, bringing his mind back to the issue at hand. What happened in the past can sleep for now...

He resumed the transmission Queen Leah had sent him.

”The reason I had to send someone to you is because I believe you had reincarnated and are about to face the first calamity of your life... one that I believe you are not prepared for...”
