The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1571: Four Absolute Flame Spirit

After their breakthrough to the Absolute Stage, the four Flame Spirits became excited.

Fury, who was the most knowledgeable among his siblings, cleared his throat, causing all three of them to turn toward him.

”What?” Void asked, her tone sharp and proud. Naturally, since her beast form was a Phoenix, it was normal for her to carry such traits.

”Have you all forgotten the meeting we had a couple of days ago about what we would do once we became Absolute Flames?”

”Oh, that. I may have forgotten due to the thrill of becoming an adult and growing more powerful,” Nirvana said with a smile. She flipped her hair to the side and turned toward Void.

Void smiled as well.

”I know, right? After becoming this powerful, I feel like going on a rampage.”

”Me too,” Nirvana replied, causing Qilin, who was usually quiet despite being the most destructive among them due to his nature as the Primordial Desolation Flame, to sigh and shake his head.

He turned toward Fury and asked, ”What technique do you think we should create for Daddy?”

After their triumph inside the Twisting Vine Forest, they had decided to prepare thoroughly before returning. Rhazor had already told them they would return to completely destroy the forest this time around.

To accomplish that, they needed powerful techniques.

Fury thought for a moment before replying.

”After our detonation last time, I sensed a form of resonance that surprisingly increased the power of the explosion.

”After a few discussions with Lady Icon, I discovered that if we combine our powers to create a technique, Daddy can unleash a single explosive attack containing all four of our core flames with nothing more than a flick of his hand.

”This time, it wouldn’t be just one of us being channeled at a time.

”All four of us will be summoned into the attack simultaneously, and since we are Flame Spirits, we can ensure that the output exceeds anything Daddy has ever accomplished before.”

”Sounds like my field of expertise,” Void laughed. ”After all, making things go boom is my favorite hobby.”

The rest of her siblings smiled.

”Actually, Lady Icon has already provided me with a blueprint. Apparently, before Daddy awakened us, he had created a flame skill that embodied the concept of the Lotus of Destruction.

”She repurposed it, and now we will be using it as the foundation of our technique.

”I have already created the base plan. The technique will have several levels. The first level will utilize our power at the Perfect Harmony Stage.

The second level will utilize our Absolute Stage power. Then, when we reach the Extreme Stage, we will add another level.”

Knowing Fury’s reputation for being the most intelligent, his siblings nodded in agreement.

”One thing you all should know is that the others are planning to do the same thing we are about to do. So we need to be the first, and we need to be the best.”

Upon hearing that Klaus’s other elemental spirits were planning something similar once they reached the Absolute Stage, Void, Nirvana, and Qilin immediately became serious.

”Let’s get started then,” Qilin said, surprisingly eager to make a difference before the others could surpass him.

”Very well,” Fury replied. ”I will share the blueprint with you now.”

Fury shared the blueprint, and soon the four of them began developing a technique that would make Klaus happy once again for having flame elements.

Back when he was just starting his journey, he loved blowing things up. But along the way, he stopped. Now, he would gain an even more powerful technique, making him even more destructive.

While that was happening, Rhazor continued climbing the stairway. Since he had not run out of time yet, he continued upward, hoping to push his Flame Law to the Extreme Stage.

But while his eagerness was at an all-time high, his progress was not advancing as quickly as he wanted. That said, he was still making steady progress.

Unfortunately for him, the moment he stepped onto the fiftieth step, the sky cracked apart, and before long, he found himself back inside his body.

He opened his eyes at once, and that was when his gaze landed on his four Flame Spirits, who had now matured and become significantly more powerful.

However, what caused him to furrow his brow was the flame lotus with four differently colored petals hovering between them.

The moment his gaze landed on it, Rhazor knew it was not something he could underestimate.

’Just what are they doing?’ he wondered, but he made no attempt to disrupt them.

Instead, he teleported out of the cave and reappeared one kilometer away.

He sat down on a stone and opened the system interface to see the description of the skill he had unlocked.

[Dominion Flaming Arrow]

[Grade: Unknown]

[Description: During the Third Catastrophe, Flame God Hylax created the ultimate arrow technique. His plan was to imbue an endless torrent of flame essence into a single arrow.

If one arrow could contain the power of an entire sea of flame essence, then a single arrow could kill just about anyone, provided there was enough flame essence available.]

---

”Huh, what a weird description for an arrow,” Rhazor muttered.

But standing in the middle of millions of runes within the academy, Klaus shook his head.

”The description is everything,” he muttered.

Rhazor nodded.

He read the description again and then asked himself the question he should have asked in the first place.

”Third Catastrophe. Does that mean there was a First and Second Catastrophe as well?”

The question shifted his thoughts from the nature of the skill to a far more complex subject, all aimed at understanding the Great Catastrophe.

”This Flame God Hylax lived during the Third Catastrophe. If that is the case, is he still alive? Or has anyone survived a Catastrophe? More importantly, what the hell is a Great Catastrophe?”

More questions came to mind, and Rhazor simply did not have the answers.

”Things are getting a bit more chaotic for me,” he muttered.

The more he thought about the nature of what was coming, the more his mind spiraled in all the wrong directions.

But one feeling he could not shake was the possibility that people who had survived the Great Catastrophe were still living somewhere within the Void.

Somehow, he believed that was the case, and that thought frightened him.

If people like that truly existed, then wouldn’t they be unimaginably powerful and far beyond his current level?

”I need to become stronger soon, or I will regret it.”

He sighed again and turned toward the cave, where a powerful aura emanated.

”These kids clearly don’t joke around, do they?”

He smiled and summoned the wheels that Atomic had identified as [Nezha’s Flame Wheels].

Rhazor examined them for a minute.

Finding nothing unusual aside from the fact that the wheels radiated a dangerous aura, he decided to bond with them.

He pricked his finger and allowed a drop of blood to fall onto them.

The moment that happened, the wheels flew out of his hands and hovered in the air.

Then, with a buzz, they lit up in flames.

WHEEEEZZZZ

They suddenly began spinning, releasing long trails of fire.

Under Rhazor’s stunned gaze, they darted through the air. Everywhere they passed, they left blazing trails of flames behind them.

After showing off for a while, the wheels returned to Rhazor.

”Time to see what you can do.”
