The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1164: Ambush (1)

Now that Jane has reached the Monarch stage, moving even Nirvana-stage warriors is nothing to her. She is strong and can easily move anyone she wants to billions of miles away.

Before they attack the scout party, they have to listen to a more detailed report from her.

”There are two planets just 40 billion and 67 billion miles away from the Ice planet the scouts have landed on,” Jane said, studying the star map.

”The planet 67 billion miles away is a desert world with gravity twice Earth’s. Also, it is three times Earth’s size, so I will move the Nirvana-stage warriors there.

The monarchs will remain in the Ice world, but the Death-stage warriors will be moved to the planet 40 billion miles away. It is a grassy world where almost everything is green. It is a place humans can live, and its gravity is only 0.5 times Earth’s.”

Queenie and the warriors that will be attacking nodded.

Jane’s abilities are invaluable and everyone can see that...

”Remember, the mission is to capture them at all costs. However, if they prove stubborn, feel free to kill them. Also, be ready for anything since we don’t know what weapons might be brought out.”

Queenie cautioned, making sure the mission goes well without anyone getting hurt...

Hanna, Kathy, and Vida’s stronghold will be handling the Death-stage warriors. Queenie could have deployed all her sisters, but she refrained, simply because she planned to let Hanna gauge how strong she had become.

Unlike Asha, Nadia, Nas (Anna and Lucy’s brother), and Asmodeus, who have subordinates they can summon to fight for them, Hanna only has her clones.

Of course, the clones are powerful, but they are not real beings like Asha’s Insects or Nadia’s puppet demons...

She can only summon and command them to act. However, there is an upside to this, and it is in the form of Hanna alone, who can be considered 1,500 Death-stage warriors in a single body.

She is at the peak of the Death stage, and now that one wouldn’t have to go through tribulation when breaking through to the Name realm while on Earth, Hanna is only a step away from becoming a monarch.

However, with just her Death-stage strength, she can summon 1,500 clones, and now that she has become much stronger, the clones are also much stronger and, in a way, experienced thanks to an innate ability slowly awakening in Hanna.

She alone is enough to handle the 18 Death-stage warriors. However, anything can happen, so Kathy and Vida’s stronghold would be there to aid her.

As for Asmodeus, he said he wouldn’t tell anyone how strong his undead army has become. Of course, the Undead Race is his creation, but they are their own people.

However, his real undead army is left hidden, just like Nadia, Asha, and Nas are also hiding their strength.

Queenie knew they would soon reveal everything if their preparations were not adequate to meet the chaos coming.

”Jane, move them.” The moment Queenie gave the command, Jane got to work...

Inside a cold planet, one where the misty ice has already covered everything, rendering both mobility and sight limited, 40 people sat in a spaceship using a scanner to scan their surroundings.

”General Thorn, the planet we are after is out of our current scanning range. However, there are five other planets within the scanning range from which I believe we will benefit when we conquer this world.”

A warrior wearing dark gray armor said, reading the information the scanner was producing.

”What have you discovered, Piann?” General Thorn, a bald man with several tattoos on his head, asked, looking both focused and relaxed.

”The three planets to the south of here are filled with Luminous Crystals.”

”Wait. Are you saying there are three planets filled with Luminous Crystals, something many powerhouses would kill for just to have a quarter of?” General Thorn’s expression brightened.

”That is what I am saying, General. There are several tons of it. If I am not mistaken, selling all will fetch at least 10 trillion Universe Coins. Of course, it will require some work, but I believe we can excavate everything in a span of 3,000 years.”

”This place is a goldmine, then. We should hurry and locate the world we are after and claim everything.”

General Thorn was happy, and so he planned to report this discovery to his king. However, just as he was about to make the call, he felt his surroundings expand, and when it relaxed, he was standing in a desert... alone.

”What in the hell?” He looked around but saw no one. He then used his superior senses to scan, and to his dismay, he sensed three others with him.

Naturally, he recognized them because they were the other three Nirvana-stage warriors he came on this mission with.

”How in the hell did I—” Before he could end his sentence, he felt a dangerous feeling appear behind him. He jumped forward, evading a sharp stab from a red sword that was licking blood qi.

”Who are you?” General Thorn twisted his body to evade another attack before summoning his own sword.

Queenie stood back and gazed at the general with her red eyes for a few seconds before pointing her sword at him...

”Surrender and live, resist and you will die.”

General Thorn sneered and unleashed his domain, immediately causing the air to darken, and the sound of a river flowing could be heard.

Suddenly, a river of swords filled the space behind General Thorn and started spreading outward.

Queenie, who had been caught within General Thorn’s domain, didn’t even flinch. She remained calm and continued to look at him, fully manifesting his domain.

When he was done, Queenie asked, ”Are you done?”

The general clearly didn’t like her tone, but he also didn’t want to make a Monarch look down on him. He is a Nirvana-stage warrior, so a mere Monarch can not make him feel small.

However, while he was angry, he also seemed unsettled by how calm Queenie stood. It was like she had everything under control.

Of course, standing in a desert isn’t exactly ideal. But he seemed to want to leave there fast enough. He is on an important mission after all...

Queenie smirked, a part of her wondering just why she had to even bother with the man’s domain...

’I am an Asura. I am blood, so why even bother with a domain when he has blood flowing through his body?’

Queenie moved, and General Thorn slashed his sword, sending a sea of swords surging toward her.

***

Meanwhile, on the other sides of the battlefield, Lord Trench, Nyxthar, and Skar had already clashed with their opponents.

Nyxthar took on a Level 5 Nirvana-stage warrior wielding a spear. Skar took on a Level 4 Nirvana-stage warrior who wielded dual swords, and Lord Trench clashed with another Level 4 Nirvana-stage warrior who wielded a spear.

Within seconds, their battle became heated.

Lord Trench unleashed his Gravity Domain and merged it with his body, allowing his punches to be several times heavier.

His opponent, who knew he couldn’t joke around with those heavy punches, started to run circles around him. However, Lord Trench was much more experienced in fighting non-brute-type warriors, so he wasn’t worried.

Nyxthar and Skar, on the other hand, were equally matched against their opponents, but it was only a matter of time before they made a break in their battles and gained the advantage needed to win over their opponents.

...That was especially true for Nyxthar, who had taken his DeathKnight form.
