The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1125: The Awakening (29)

Among the 600-plus warriors surrounding Klaus, he had noted down 25 who posed a great risk to his life. Twenty were Death Stage warriors, and the five were Life Stage warriors.

Klaus and the Paragon System (Icon) saw these 25 as the most dangerous warriors he had to pay close attention to. Even the five Life Stage warriors were much more dangerous than the dozens of Death Stage warriors not on his list.

He had already killed two of the Death Stage warriors.

One was Tahl, the so-called Flame Lord. He was 20th on his list...

The second was Gorren, whom Klaus had just killed using the whip. He was 19th on the list.

However, even after killing him, Klaus knew he had to be careful. The one he had just killed was reckless...

Klaus purposely baited him into unleashing that sword attack.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have used that. However, Klaus found a way to make him angry, and in that unfocused state, he used one of the three sonic weapons Icon had selected for him.

It was a non-elemental weapon, but because Klaus wanted to really kill the bastard, he channeled his soul’s Fury Flame and Soul Fury Lightning to do justice to him.

The attack that landed on him contained both sonic and soul attacks while also dealing lightning and flame attacks.

Naturally, Klaus planned well, and now that his main target was done, his focus turned to the two still trapped in the ice.

BOOM

However, a heavy axe slammed on the ground before him, causing him to back away. The two, clearly infuriated and injured, turned their fierce gazes at him before backing away...

”Chat later, guys.” Klaus was willing to make them regret their life choices. So he created a clone just to say those words to them.

The clone was decapitated, but Klaus merely smiled, seeing the anger and fury burning not just in the two retreating but in hundreds of the warriors yet to face him.

More attackers closed in on him, but Klaus was very cautious, even after more kept joining in...

Meanwhile, on one side of the battlefield, where the battle had now covered almost half of Earth, Danny stood at only 8 feet tall, his axe resting on his shoulder, with golden light moving across the handle and the cracks in the metallic jagged blade.

Facing him was Ulric, who stood 7 feet tall, a long sword jammed into the ground, faint lightning crackling across his skin as he locked gazes with Danny...

Danny could tell his opponent wasn’t like those he had killed. This one was confident and, to some extent, arrogant... just like Klaus.

This also meant this person could not be underestimated.

”You are a Titan,” Ulric said, a smile painting his face.

Danny, who had followed Klaus for a long time and had developed a thick skin, pointed at Ulric...

”Let me guess, your master is some big shot in the universe. He has given you everything you wanted, and now that you have managed to build some confidence, he sent you out into the universe to gain some expression.” A smirk formed on the corner of Danny’s mouth.

”You could have picked any other world to gain experience; however, you stupidly picked this one.” The axe on his shoulder moved and gently struck the ground, creating a crack that immediately spread across the earth.

”Unfortunately for you, among the many warriors you could have bullied, you picked the right-hand man of a Paragon.” Danny smiled, and Ulric frowned.

He turned his head and looked in the direction Klaus was fighting, a bad feeling seeping into his bones.

Danny was already aware of Klaus’s true nature a few days after they became friends. This meant that on Earth, he was the first person to know Klaus was a Paragon.

However, in the dream from which he received this discovery, a person who looked exactly like him told him never to say it to anyone, not even to Klaus.

Now, the cat was out of the bag, and in the awakening, everything goes. The heavens can’t do jack shit.

”You may be a realm above me, maybe even possess the ability to fight two realms above you... However, in front of me, you are an ant.” Danny’s aura flared, and a brilliant golden light burst out from his eyes...

At once, the mischievous Danny that Asmodeus loved to bully had become a battle-ready warrior.

”Do you want to know why? It is because I am a True Titan, and you are a half-breed.”

Danny moved, a trail of golden light mixed with killing intent following him as he clashed with Ulric.

Danny had held back for a long time, but now he is putting everything on the line to fight someone who is several times stronger than he is.

The ground shattered beneath their feet as Danny’s axe met Ulric’s sword.

They both pushed each other back a few steps, showing that their strength was matched. However, one could tell from the first clash that Ulric was stronger.

Danny was, after all, a Domain Stage warrior, while Ulric is a Life Stage warrior who could fight two realms above him (Monarch).

The gap in strength is huge...

The collision produced a blinding flash that illuminated the entire battlefield for miles.

The shockwave that followed sent dust and debris flying in all directions, forcing nearby warriors to shield themselves from the storm of energy.

Battles happening much closer to them, which, in this instant, were 3 km away, were pushed back.

Ulric’s sword hummed, lightning crawling up the blade before bursting outward like a wild serpent.

Danny twisted his massive frame to block it with the flat of his axe. The lightning coiled around his weapon, crackling and sparking across his arms, but Danny’s golden aura flared, neutralizing it.

’So his lightning eats spiritual energy, huh... noted.’

He slammed his foot down, creating a crater, and surged forward like a comet wrapped in light.

Danny’s form was already heavy and huge, so moving at that speed while bathed in golden light made him appear both elegant and dangerous.

His axe whistled through the air, and Ulric barely brought his sword up in time. Sparks exploded as steel and energy collided.

Danny twisted, forcing Ulric’s sword aside, then spun, bringing his elbow down on Ulric’s shoulder with bone-cracking force.

”Lightning Armor.” An armor made of lightning materialized around Ulric, causing the strike to land on a solid surface.

Danny moved back and raised his axe, channeling light energy into it.

Danny didn’t want to push too hard when he hadn’t fully grasped his opponent’s true strength. However, that also didn’t mean he should hold back.

”Light Split.” He slashed his axe down, sending a golden arc at Ulric.

BOOM

The golden arc struck the ground where Ulric stood, erupting into a massive explosion of light that swallowed everything in sight.

The shockwave flattened the terrain for hundreds of meters, turning stones and woods to dust. The very ground shook violently, and cracks lined the entire ground, showing the power behind that attack.

When the blinding light faded, Ulric stood in the middle of the crater, his lightning armor flickering.
