The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1189: Bloodline Awakenings (2)

Maud sighed, seeing the grin on Klaus’s face.

She needs no immortal to tell her Klaus is going to play with his Death abilities to the max.

I mean, who wouldn’t?

Klaus is the heir of death. Basically, he is the personification of death, so he would surely be more than happy to use the abilities he had awakened as a Death heir.

“The master is already thinking too much. Using the power of death comes at a cost. The more you use it, the more of your humanity you lose. Trust me, I know what I am talking about.”

Klaus smiled and responded to Maud’s worried words, “Relax, Maud. I know when to take caution and when not to give a heck. I am not strong enough to harness death energy like you. However, I have no backlashes for it either.”

Maud raised her brow behind her veil…

“I don’t understand,” she said…

“Before awakening my bloodline to 100%, I merely had some form of control over death qi. Back then, using it too much would have affected me.

However, my bloodline is now 100%, and thanks to me being the heir of death, my Death form allows me to use death energy without any backlash.”

“Oh… that is good then.”

“Extremely good. This means that I can harness my death energy anyhow I want, provided I have enough death qi to use.”

Maud seemed to have lightened up a bit.

“In that case, you have nothing to worry about, granted you have enough death qi, that is.”

“Indeed.”

“Congratulations to the master then,” Maud said before vanishing back to Klaus’s soul sea. Klaus relaxed his body a bit and decided to see if something else had changed.

He is in his Death heir form, which features dark hair, dark eyes, and a cold expression and aura. Even in this form, the clothes he wore are befitting of an heir of death.

He wore tattered black trousers and a long-sleeved jacket that seemed also tattered, yet there were no holes in it. Both the top and the bottom are dark and, well, meant for casual wear…

Nadia could have done a better job with the clothing; however, it does look damn cool and made him extremely handsome, so anything goes.

“Cold expression and well, weary looks,” Klaus muttered, feeling the first set of changes that had happened to him.

“My hate for life is abnormally high,” he smiled. “It is like I hate life to the point that if I could kill everybody and everything, that would fill my cold heart with warmth.”

Obviously, Klaus has found what is making him cold and ruthless from the moment he awakened his bloodline in full.

However, he doesn’t seem to care. To him, this is a good thing.

He knew one day, he would have to become emotionless to get the job done. He had lived many lives and had experienced many things, so he knew what people were capable of.

One day, he would have to become chillingly cold to fight back. So this new development is good. It will make things much easier for him.

“With the heaven-defying body, I will have a free rein in the Universe for as long as I don’t touch the sword or use the throne. This means I will have enough chances to prepare for godhood.”

Klaus smiled and decided to focus on the last bloodline, which is the Primordial Vampire Monarch…

—

During the Carnage/Slaughter Era, Magnus dominated every last battlefield he appeared on.

He fought and killed thousands of immortals, several dozen demigods, a few gods, and even a supreme being, all while he hadn’t even reached the god stage just yet.

His dominance had won him several titles and made him one of the Paragons to have caused the most damage to the foundation of the heavens’ court.

Sure, the Asura god was a menace.

He had killed many gods and even supremes; however, most of them were from the demon court.

Back then, the Asura race protected innocents from the sudden rebellion of the demons. They fought for the interests of the universe, and in that good fight, he dominated.

However, Magnus targeted the heavens, and the results were anything if not bone-chilling.

This feat of his was thanks to his nature as the Vampire Monarch.

His bloodline fueled his strength, and so he managed to do all this. Now, he is awakening the complete form of this bloodline, and for that, Klaus is extremely happy.

His hair and eyes turned red. Fangs appeared, and his whole demeanor shifted toward a warrior whose strength is fueled by the stench of blood.

The air around him shifted, and the bloodlust could be sensed in the cold chill of his aura.

He is the blood monarch.

⟪Congratulations, your Primordial Vampire Monarch Bloodline is now complete⟫

⟪Your Primordial Vampire Monarch Bloodline has awakened its grade ↠ Supreme Grade⟫

⟪You have learned a new bloodline ability: Blood Monarch⟫

[Blood Monarch]

[Rank: Supreme]

[Mastery Level: Flawless]

[Description: For every drop of blood you spill, your strength, stamina, and health grow stronger. Know that this growth is permanent and there is no limit to how strong you can become.]

“Well, Magnus never had this back in the day, so one up for me,” Klaus grinned.

It is well known that vampires and the Asuras have an innate ability to grow stronger when surrounded by blood or when actively involved in bloodshed, especially on a chaotic battlefield.

That is normal for all of them.

Magnus had one, Queenie and Tifa have one, and so do the thousands of vampires on earth. So it is nothing fancy.

However, this ability Klaus had received is very different.

The description mentioned a single word, which makes all the difference.

Although Vampires grow stronger in active battle, their boon is only temporary. Once the battle is over and they are away from the blood pool, all boon is taken away from them.

But the same thing cannot happen to Klaus.

His boon will remain permanent, meaning if he were to grow so strong that killing an immortal is within his reach after so much bloodshed, later he would have the same strength and could use it anywhere he desired.

“This means I must commit a massacre soon.” Klaus smiled weakly. This ability will surely come in handy soon enough.

He wouldn’t be going out there to play and joke about. He is going to grow and become so strong that one day, just his name will cause Celestials to quake in their boots.

Klaus wants to reach a stage where even the heavens will think twice before touching a hair on his head.

This ability can and will get him there.

“This is good. This is really good.” Klaus is happy —meaning he is now very strong… he can feel it. He had woken up from a coma only to become this strong.

“If one were to see a paragon grow this strong from merely having sex with his wives, they would sure claw their eyes out.”

Klaus smirked and raised his head slightly, looking at the ceiling—well, he intended to gaze at the heavens. However, the ceiling was in his view, and so he could only sneer and mutter coldly.

“The heavens will surely feel my wrath one of these days.”

Too bad they can’t see him now. They are completely blind and mute when it comes to Earth, its moon, and, well, soon, some of the planets surrounding it.

For as long as Klaus is alive, they will remain blind and deaf to all things happening on Earth.
