The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Two days after Anna’s tribulation, Lily underwent hers as well, and just like Anna, she experienced some significant changes. Her changes don’t pale in comparison to Anna’s or Kathy’s.

Klaus doesn’t know if Lily is one of his past lovers, but he might have held a different opinion of her if he had witnessed her transformation.

Nothing about Earth seems normal…

…Nothing about Klaus seems normal.

Lily became much more beautiful, like Anna, which made her, like Anna, far more confident. They were quite envious of Hanna when she received her new body; however, now they can feel that they have become their own selves.

But while Lily may have become a beauty, something very powerful about her changed—so much so that it even shocked Nari and Queenie, who had accompanied her this time.

After the tribulation, Lily awakened her wind element. It was a great development for her but also marked the point where her danger level rose considerably.

She awakened a wind element called [Absolute Silent Wind].

It was a bizarre one, and while the name hinted at its nature, the attribute she awakened made her truly dangerous. She gained an attribute called [Silent Presence]. As the name suggested, her presence became nonexistent.

It was as if she had become the air itself. She held no detectable presence, yet she was undeniably there. You couldn’t sense her at all. Even if she were walking beside you, you wouldn’t feel her presence.

In a way, she had become a ghost of some kind. This shocked both Queenie and Nari. They couldn’t discern any sound or trace of her, even with their superior senses. It was like she wasn’t there, yet she was there at the same time.

This made her incredibly dangerous, as she could easily sneak up on people without them ever noticing.

However, aside from her attributes, she also awakened an aspect of the wind element called [One with the Wind]. Interestingly, the name was the same as the movement technique Klaus had given her.

One could call this a mere coincidence, but some things often hold deeper meaning than they might seem. It was as if the heavens themselves were shrouded in mystery regarding this aspect.

In fact, a lot has been happening on Earth that defies logic and holds no apparent meaning—crazy, inexplicable events. Yet, they continue to unfold, leaving one with no choice but to go with the flow.

Lily awakened three aspect abilities, and all of them are insanely overpowered.

The first, [Blessing of the Wind], boosts her speed by 40% for as long as she has stamina.

Of course, it drains her stamina, but there is a boon of her aspect that seems to restore her stamina much faster.

So, since she seemed to recover much faster, the ability was crazy enough to make anyone envious. It also grants her a 40% increase in agility.

The second, [Wind Conduit], allows her to use the wind as a medium for movement. Perhaps it could be better described as teleportation, as she essentially taps into the wind to move at an incredible speed.

This ability is perfect with her aspect, which also lets her use the wind to sense her surroundings. Currently, she can use her wind element to sense the 12 km radius around her.

This means that with this ability, she can move 12 km in an instant. That is powerful, and with her attributes that make her presence nonexistent, she is like a deadly blade teleporting.

As for the third aspect ability, perhaps they shouldn’t have added that. It’s just too powerful.

[One Who Harnesses the Wind]: This ability allows her, to a certain extent, to create an air bubble around people, depriving them of air to breathe.

In fact, this ability works so well that when the bubble is created, the air in their lungs is sucked dry like a vacuum. This makes the ability very powerful.

Queenie was impressed and promised to get her some wind cores, which would help her form her cores much faster and become a Sage.

But while she has one attribute and three aspect abilities, she also received a skill. For her, it was just a single skill, unlike Anna, who received a technique set containing seven skills.

She received a sword skill called [Fury of the Wind]. This allows her to harness the wind into her blade and unleash countless wind blades that hold 120% of her attack power.

Of course, it requires high stamina, but she doesn’t lack in that field. She will definitely become a silent swordsman on the battlefield.

However, while all this was incredible, she also received a soul weapon that again shocked Queenie and Nari.

They were Sovereigns before they awakened soul weapons, but just like that, two Saints awakened soul weapons. From the look of things, they aren’t ordinary soul weapons either.

[Lone Wanderer], that was the name of her soul weapon. From the look of things, there were seals on it, just like Anna’s staff and Hanna’s bow. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

For now, the blade only allowed her to recover her stamina four times faster. Aside from that, it also amplified her attacks, although it didn’t show by how much.

She had become a menace, and she could tell just by the energy coursing through her body. She immediately went into seclusion again to solidify her realm.

Three days later, she emerged and joined Hanna, who was ready for her tribulation. This time, Queenie, Nari, and Old Lu, the dean of the academy, accompanied her.

Lily, Anna, and Kathy also came. Klaus had already instructed them to pay closer attention to Hanna’s tribulation.

As expected, her tribulation lasted for an hour, and it was far more dangerous than Anna’s and Lily’s.

This was due to many factors, but one of the primary reasons was that Hanna was Klaus’s starlight—essentially his energy source. Naturally, the heavens didn’t make it easy for her.

However, since she wasn’t a paragon, things didn’t escalate to the extent they did with Klaus. Still, it was an extremely perilous tribulation for someone at her level.

Thankfully, she wielded a powerful lightning element and a formidable soul weapon. These made the experience much more bearable for her.

In the end, she suffered some injuries.

After the tribulation, however, her gains were several times greater than before. Klaus granted her a unique body constitution, which remained sealed for now. But that wasn’t all he gave her.

Her real body is a unique body called the [Divine Jade Body]. In Klaus’s own words, it was a body containing divinity—something gods and immortals would kill for. It was a treasure many would cherish for its immense benefits.

After the tribulation, her body gained a form of attribute or perhaps a uniqueness called the [Lightning Body].

This granted her 80% resistance to all kinds of lightning attacks, a resistance that would grow stronger as she advanced.

This was one of the boons that made all her suffering worthwhile. She became even more beautiful, and her blue hair grew slightly longer, though she knew her mother would cut it when she returned home.

Beyond her enhanced beauty, she also awakened her element, received two aspects—one of which had two abilities—and gained a skill designed for AOE attacks.

She was elated. She had been waiting for this moment for a very long time.
