The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1066: Battles

At the end of the Ascension League of Defiance, one warrior from the Cavalry of Defiance and a warrior from the Bast race erged as finalists.

The warrior from the Cavalry of Defiance is called Sidra; however, she prefers to be called the Grim Reaper simply because her Class is the Grim Reaper class.

There are many rumours around her.

So say she can literally go to the underworld and back like drinking water. So say she is an immortal, that she cannot be killed, while many say her father is the Yama King.

As to whether any of these rumours were true, nobody can tell.

But one thing is certain about her.

When it cos to killing, she can be put right behind the likes of Kilian, Queenie, and Nia.

The warrior from the Bast race is also one of their best. They call him Nayth Varu. However, his title is the Huntmaster.

There are many rumours about him, too; however, the most popular rumour is that many claim he has the power to harness the power of the Grey Panther.

The Grey Panther is a myth in the Bast race.

Many say that during the battle against beasts in the early stages of the apocalypse, a Grey Panther with an unknown origin ca to their aid when they truly needed it.

However, once they settled down, the Grey Panther left.

Many who witnessed his feat gave him the moniker, the Huntmaster. Nayth is a Huntmaster, and his fighting style is similar to that of the mysterious Grey Panther.

Now, everyone was just waiting for the ti to co for the Grim Reaper and the Huntmaster to clash and see who was the genius among the two.

As soon as the last two finalists were selected for the Ascension stage, the Nether stage battle comnced.

This battle gathered a lot of attention.

There were 10 Nether stage warriors, aning there would be 5 battles in the first round. Naturally, all the warriors scheduled for this battle are anything but weak.

Of course, none of them would be using their trump cards in a friendly competition, even if fighting inside a virtual space.

However, none would be holding back when using their normal skills.

Klaus told them not to reveal too much since the heavens are always watching.

But even so, the first battle, which happened between Aoi and her father, Sword King Hiroshi, lasted for 2 straight hours with Aoi erging victorious in the end.

Even so, many could tell her father was not weak either, and so even speculated he let his daughter win to make her happy.

That worked like magic since Aoi beca happy after defeating her father.

It was a good battle, one that showed just how good the Hiroshis are with their swords.

The second battle was between Linx and Lily.

Naturally, this battle ended in 45 minutes with Lily erging victorious.

This didn’t shock many who knew the innocent Lily was soone very dangerous.

Even now, Pickle Berry doesn’t feel safe around her. To her, the Red Fury who nearly killed her and her big brother/master years back in the past is still the sa harmless Lily everyone seems to like.

Linx is a great warrior, but Lily is on an entirely different level.

After the battle, when Pickle Berry, in her attempt to give assurance to the audience that indeed Earth has great warriors to protect them, asked Lily and Linx how much they put into the battle.

Linx said she put in 60% effort, citing that she still has more to give than what she had displayed.

When Lily was asked, she said she used 20% of her true speed.

This answer left many with widened eyes and jaws hanging. The reason being, the speed Lily displayed was already enough for her to take down an average Nether stage warrior.

So, saying she only used 20%, what then would beco of her when she used 100%?

Everyone wanted to see that.

The third battle of the day was between Mason and Old Lu.

Mason is fast like Lily and also hits hard. However, in the end, Old Lu showed him that age is also a favourable factor when it cos to combat.

Mason tried to use his speed, but Old Lu made sure the ground he was running on wasn’t ideal for speed, so he was forced to switch back to brute attack.

In the end, Old Lu, who excels in brute strength and reading his opponent, put Mason in his place.

Mason learned a valuable lesson from it, and Old Lu also saw how it could be disadvantageous to him if his opponent were to fly instead of running.

The 4th battle was between Jinx and Danny.

This battle lasted for only 20 minutes, with Danny winning.

His winning was decided from the mont the battle began.

It turned out that Danny had co a long way, mastering both his bloodline powers and his Light elent.

It was only after the battle that many learned he had already touched the Light Elental Law.

All of Jinx’s attacks passed through his body since Danny decided to beco lazy and turn his body into light, and then, using a titan ability called ’Intangible Body’, he was able to handle all attacks from Jinx.

In the end, Jinx surrendered with a smile on her face. She knew that unless she used one of her 5 forms, beating Danny was nearly impossible. However, this was a friendly battle, so she let it slide.

The last battle was between Miguel and Hanna.

Their battle lasted for 45 minutes, with Hanna winning.

If Miguel were as fast as Lily, perhaps he would have had a shot at winning. However, with Hanna using her Divine bodies, Miguel struggled to defend against her barrage of arrows.

Of course, Hanna also held back, so in the end, it was a battle that shouldn’t have happened; yet, they both learned a valuable lesson.

Hanna learned that targeting much slower opponents would maximize her kill speed, while Miguel learned that picking archers is not sothing he should do.

Thankfully, they have Jane to handle those pair-ups for them.

Hanna beca a seeded candidate after they picked their next pair-ups. The two to erge in the quarter-finals were Danny, who defeated Old Lu, and Aoi, who defeated Lily.

After the battle between Lily and Aoi, many recognised sothing, and that was that Lily is dangerous. She practically ran circles around Aoi.

But in the end, she surrendered.

She couldn’t get through Aoi’s Sword Pool, so even though she far surpassed her in speed, the labyrinth of swords Aoi prepared for her was one she never had the ans to pass through without using one of her trump cards.

The final match was determined by sothing Pickle Berry called Immortal Stare.

All they had to do was walk toward a large eye in the sky. The one who gets closer will be seeded, and the other two will fight to pick the finalist.

In the end, Danny won that, and Hanna had to face Aoi.

Their battle was the last for the day, which ended with Hanna winning. She won after displaying impeccable mastery of the bow.

Of course, Knox, Klaus’s second soul body, knew Hanna won thanks to her bow.

She had unleashed a power held within the first seal, which temporarily allowed her to land one arrow on Aoi, who only found out how she was defeated after the battle.

The next day, the Domain stage battle began with Queenie and Eryx opening the day with a bone-chilling battle.
