The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1124: The Awakening (28)

"You idiots really think any amount of planning could save you," Klaus said, summoning a new sword. He sorsaulted and landed on the ground just in ti to unleash a wide sword arc at the spear hurled at him.

The plan was very simple... Tahl was supposed to distract Klaus for a few monts so the others could overwhelm him with powerful attacks.

However, what they didn’t know was that Klaus had already anticipated their thoughts, so when the so-called fla lord appeared, he had already started creating a counterasure.

Initially, he rely wanted to hold him back while he waited for the main attacks. However, out of nowhere, a mory from his 9th incarnation surfaced about how he and Daniel t.

This gave him sothing he never knew he had — how to fight like a fla lord.

Fla lords are beings who have cultivated the fla elent to an extre level and have even gained the recognition of the Origin Fla.

Daniel from his past life, when he was the Star Monarch, was a fla lord... a true fla lord, not Tahl, who hadn’t even gained the recognition of the Origin Fla.

Klaus t him when he was at death’s door.

Of course, he wasn’t in the business of saving humans back then; however, he saw how Daniel fought, and for a paragon who understood how to defy fate and the heavens, he saw sothing in him.

This thing led to him saving Daniel, and later they beca friends.

Thanks to this friendship, Klaus knew how to kill Tahl.

Killing a fla lord is not easy at all. However, thanks to these mories, Tahl is now dead on the ground, and Klaus could only smile as his sword transford into a bow.

"Ice Dominion." He fired an arrow, creating a trail of ice as dozens of Life Stage warriors were imdiately frozen from the impact.

However, before Klaus could get close to killing them, three Death Stage warriors created a triangle around him, each wielding a sword.

"Die, worm."

They attacked, each unleashing a beam of sword aura from their swords. However, Klaus defended by raising tal shields from the ground.

He had now awakened all elents, so harnessing the power of the tal elent was sothing he could do now.

"Three more to the slaughterhouse, I see," Klaus chuckled, watching as the others stepped back for these three to have their mont.

They didn’t imdiately attack, which allowed Klaus to check on the status of the battles happening all over Earth.

His divine sense spread far and wide, allowing him to see everything.

He saw his side wasn’t doing too well, but it wasn’t at the point where all hope was lost. However, with Asmodeus gone, the dead weren’t rising back up, so as more of the Earth warriors died, the pressure bearing down on them kept increasing...

Of course, part of the reason this was happening was due to the Life Stage and a few Death Stage warriors occupying the powerhouses in the Earth Army.

The likes of Nyxthar, Nari, Queenie, Veylor, Lord Trench, and many more were either facing a Death Stage warrior or a few Life Stage warriors.

That prevented them from killing like they were ant to.

However, Klaus saw this coming and prepared them for it.

Despite thousands already dead, many were adapting, and thanks to warriors like Nadia, Asha, Aoi, Hanna, and Lulu, the enemy wasn’t having it easy either.

However, as long as this continued, Earth would soon be nearing its breaking point.

Of course, Jane was doing a great job. She was using the Gravity Planet and Janei 001 to handle as many warriors as she could. This was lessening the pressure sohow.

His mom was also doing her best, targeting both Life and Domain Stage warriors, making sure her attacks either killed or severely injured them.

In a way, they were adapting... but looking at the millions of enemy warriors still left to join the battle, Klaus could only sigh.

’Sothing has to change,’ Klaus said. However, for now, he knew he couldn’t take down the do. Doing so would spell doom for his side.

’Asmodeus, buddy, I hope you are doing well down there.’ Klaus turned his focus to the three Death Stage warriors who were ready to fight.

The mont the three Death Stage warriors lunged forward, the ground trembled beneath their combined might — a clear sign of the power of the command.

Klaus stood calmly in the midst of it all, keeping a calm expression.

His icy breath curled from his lips as his bow shimred with a chilling aura. He is now facing three powerful warriors, each proficient in close combat.

However, Klaus, instead of using a sword, chose a bow — a rather peculiar choice of weapon for such a battle.

The first warrior, clad in black armor with glowing crimson eyes, dashed toward him like a shadow.

The second swung his blade from above, creating a blazing arc of energy, while the third unleashed a wave of compressed air that cracked the earth open.

Klaus didn’t move.

Instead, he raised his hand, and the air around him froze solid. The sound of shattering frost echoed as a thick mist of ice spread outward.

"Frost Reversal," he whispered.

Instantly, the flas from the second warrior’s attack froze midair, turning into crimson ice crystals that glimred beautifully before crashing down like frozen shards of glass.

The first warrior’s blade struck Klaus’s barrier, sending waves of frost spreading up his arm. He pulled back in shock, his sword freezing and breaking apart.

"Surprise," Klaus muttered, a grin forming at the corner of his lips. He exhaled, and his breath froze a fly speeding past him.

The ground beneath him cracked as icy spikes erupted upward, piercing through the mist and targeting all three enemies.

The third warrior leapt high, spinning his blade and summoning a storm of wind to deflect them. The gusts roared, tearing through the frozen earth — but Klaus only smiled.

The wind froze mid-spin.

"Did you really think your elents would obey you in the presence of a forbidden Ice User?" Klaus asked coldly. "Everything bends before my Ice; that is why it is forbidden."

He thrust his hand forward, and countless icicles materialized in the air, each humming with spiritual energy.

The sky turned pale blue as the temperature plumted.

"Retreat," one of the masked figures shouted, but it was already too late...

"Blizzard Judgent."

The icicles rained down like a storm, creating a humming and whistling sound...

The three warriors scread as they struggled to deflect the barrage. Klaus tid and executed his move flawlessly, a sign that he was always planning and plotting while also doing his best to keep his life.

One managed to form a fiery shield, but the mont it touched Klaus’s frost, it cracked and shattered. The other tried to burrow into the ground using earth qi, but the soil itself froze, trapping him halfway.

The third warrior, the strongest among them, roared. He was Klaus’s main target simply because the Paragon System placed him at the 19th spot on the strongest Death Stage warriors list.

His aura burst forth, shattering the ice around him. "You think your frost can kill ? I am Lord Garron of the Obsidian Fla rcenaries."

"And I am Lord Klaus, who has a whip."

WHIPLASH

A painful scream escaped Lord Garron’s lips, bringing an end to another powerhouse...
