The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 965: First Success

A few minutes after Klaus returned to the surface, the black panther killed Arwan by clawing his heart out.

It was brutal, but he got the job done, which was the most important thing.

Though it took some time before he killed Arwan, in the end, he managed to bring down a major threat.

The main reason he wasted that much time before killing Arwan was due to the fact that he wanted to test his strength after the bloodline awakening.

Having the blood of a goddess flowing through his veins made him feel invincible. So he went against a level 4 Ascension stage warrior to test his strength, and he prevailed, sustaining only minor injuries.

He turned and looked at the large, chaotic battle still raging on, and a smile formed on his lips.

As he looked at the teams from the Bast Race handling their own, he felt a surge of pride.

Of course, he also saw what Klaus’s side of the team was doing, and the only logical explanation whatsoever was to just ask later.

He couldn’t understand how his people ever thought the humans were weak and that they could suppress them. It was an eye-opener, and as such he saw a much brighter future for everyone.

He jumped back into the fray and started slaughtering the monsters like everyone was doing. Twenty-six minutes later, the last beast was dead, turning the sea red.

Cheers rang out as everyone started celebrating.

Even the injured were all celebrating, making Klaus, who was inside the spaceship, smile.

“Jane, how many casualties have we sustained?” Klaus asked, but Jane just smiled and answered,

“None, big brother.”

“What?”

Even King Atlan was taken aback, hearing that no casualties had occurred in such a chaotic battle.

The battle was a big one, and while they had the advantage, Klaus knew that in a battle like this, there would be casualties.

He was prepared for that, for he knew it was inevitable.

However, he was now shocked by hearing the opposite of what he had expected.

“How?” Klaus asked, and Jane only continued to smile as she pointed to a mark on the Star Map.

“Big sister Lucy was the reason. Many came close to death, but with her standing, they were all saved. Her healing abilities had skyrocketed after the Plant Race acknowledged her as their queen.”

Jane waved her hand, and the scene of the battlefield appeared for Klaus and King Atlant to see.

“Who are these green people?” Klaus asked, looking at green-skinned humanoids.

“They are the Plant Race. While you were busy hunting the sea creatures, Big sister Lucy went to the Amazon, where the Plant Race kingdom is.

They welcomed her and performed some weird ceremony, officially crowning her as their queen. The moment they recognized her, she gained many abilities she planned on showing off to you.

Too bad you didn’t pay attention during the battle,” Jane stuck out her tongue, teasing Klaus.

“The green-skinned people are the best healers in the world, and there are thousands of them. Big sister Lucy just brought this hundred for this battle, while the rest wait for her back in the Plant Kingdom.”

Klaus raised his brow.

“I feel like I am dropping spoilers here, Big Brother. Maybe big sister Lucy should tell you the rest.” Jane laughed and brought the scene back to the spaceship.

“This is crazy. To think she had this much strength under her,” Klaus was so impressed and shocked that he failed to pay attention to King Atlan.

But when he did, he saw he was pale. Of course, as a soul body, paleness is part of them, but he could tell the king was in shock.

“Everything okay?” Klaus asked, snapping King Atlan out of his daze.

“I am fine, my lord. It was just that I realized something, and if my theory is right, you should probably pay more attention to this, Big sister Lucy.”

King Atlan sighed and then waved his hand, projecting a battlefield.

’Having a domain is the best. The deeper your understanding of conceptualization, the more powerful your domain becomes.’

Klaus focused on the battlefield that appeared thanks to King Atlan’s domain.

He saw green people with red eyes slaughtering masses. The moment the bodies hit the floor, they were drained of energy. It was brutal to watch.

In less than an hour or so, Klaus saw a pile of drained bodies littered on the battlefield, with the green people looking even hungrier than ever.

“This is the Sylvan race, and if I am not wrong, the lady this young girl spoke about is also a Sylvan. I know what I am about to say will haunt me when I wake up in my main body, but you must know something very critical, my lord.

Many years ago, there was the Asura race that dominated every other race, including the Dragons and the Angels.

They were heralded as the strongest race in existence back then. However, after they vanished, everyone forgot about them. Those who still do branded them as evil.

However, another race emerged years after the Asura. They were known as the Sylvanians. They are natural healers. However, they can be killers too.

I don’t know the technicalities that go into that, but I know that how the Sylvan turns out will all depend on their queen.

However, the moment they pick a side, they can never return to their true self again.

What had just happened was a show of their healing side, and just as they saved all these people, they can just as easily kill them.

Now, as to what this means.

The Sylvan are the enemies of the universe. They were hunted down before, and they will be hunted down again.

So it is up to your lady to decide whether to make them healers or killers. If you make them healers, then be prepared to become a killer, my lord, for when their enemies come, you will be the one doing the killing.

But if you make them killers, then your peaceful days will be over, and while I don’t want to put karma back on this world, the moment they become killers, their enemies will know.

But if they grow, then you will know peace, for they will become terrifying killers.”

Klaus smiled, hearing something he never knew he had in his world.

Just a few Sylvans managed to save thousands of warriors. What then would happen if thousands of them appeared on the battlefield?

Klaus could already see a window open for them, and soon, he could see a big door open up for them.

But then again, there was the killing part of them that, as a warrior with powerful enemies, he knew could benefit from them.

He saw what they did on the battlefield in the projection, and that alone gave him all he had to know about the dark side of Lucy and her people.

If he made them killers, he would have to be prepared to face not only the heavens, but a universe full of billions of races.

It would be like inviting more trouble when there was already more than enough trouble yet to be handled.

“Thanks for telling me this. I will have a good conversation with Lucy when all this is over.” Klaus vanished and appeared over the battlefield.

“Do it, Jeje.” The Ascendant stage seahorse he brought from the cube nodded and transformed into his true beast form.

His body glowed, then with a sudden jump, the wave pushed the water back, revealing thousands of monster bodies and cores.

Klaus extended his hand and gently muttered, “Devour.”

His devouring ice spread across the battlefield, and within minutes, every last monster was devoured, leaving no trace behind.

Everyone was left stunned, but Klaus just smiled, “Good job, everyone. Let’s go back and celebrate this win.”
