The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1306: Time Law.

The moment Klaus’s first attack was blocked by the monk, he sensed something wasn’t right. At least, the bald fellow should have taken a step back, or his leg buckled.

But none of that happened.

Of course, Klaus is no immortal, nor did he use the Immortal Ring he had absorbed to amplify his attack. He merely wanted to see something, so he used his raw strength.

However, the force behind that slash was strong enough to force a Peak Real Immortal to their feet.

Klaus is a peak Empyrean with nine immortal-level cores. If anything, his strength is nine times that of an Early Immortal. In simple terms, that attack was a combined assault by the Nine Early Immortals.

Even a Peak True Immortal would be forced back, considering the weapon in question is not normal.

However, the monk took the attack between his fingers as if it were a normal thing to do. That was when Klaus knew he was depending on an external force.

If this attack were executed by someone who hadn’t fought millions of battles, they would have been shaken by how easily it was handled. However, unfortunately for him, Klaus is no simple warrior.

He had seen and felt worse, so he suspected the Monk to have something that devours kinetic energy. This also aligns with what Icon said about having an ultimate weapon.

However, he had no idea where that weapon was hidden. Though he knew it was the cause of the monk handling his first attack.

But Klaus knew he had to find a way to bring that weapon out.

Using the blood domain was a way for him to increase his own strength without revealing too much of his power. And it worked.

Under the assault from Klaus, he was able to force him to reveal his hand. The moment he did, Klaus was there to show him the kind of trap he had set for him.

"Time Law: Time Stop"

The blood dominion slash came to a halt as time itself was halted. The air was even frozen not by ice, but by the stopping of time. In this effect, so was the monk, who could see clearly but couldn’t move his body.

"Planning to use the kinetic energy from my attack to charge your armor, huh?" Klaus grinned and flew up, letting the monk see his face well.

It is always good to see the face of your killer.

Inside the spaceship, Ophelia and her guards widened their eyes, seeing time frozen around Klaus and the Monk.

However, before their minds could process anything, something even more bizarre happened.

"Time Law: Reversal"

Klaus turned his hand counterclockwise, and instead of his blood dominion slash and the Vajra Bodhi Barrier reversing, only the Vajra Bodhi Barrier did.

Layers of time runes appeared on it, and then, with a two-second reversal, it turned transparent and vanished.

The monk tried to widen his eyes, but they were frozen in place.

Klaus grinned again and added, "Now, you can have all the kinetic energy you need."

SNAP

The moment he snapped his finger, time started to move again, and the Blood Dominion Slash resumed its descent with the same ferocity.

The monk turned pale and quickly tried to reactivate his Vajra Bodhi Barrier.

However, it was already too late.

The colossal blood-and-death-infested slash slammed into his body, the armor hidden beneath his cloak shattering under the force.

BOOOM

The blood dominion slash exploded, and the monk was blasted back, dozens of bones shattering in his body. Klaus wasted no time and vanished, appearing behind him with a deadly slash.

His scythe came down in a wide arc, aimed for his neck. However, at the last second, Klaus’ body turned to mist just as a deadly freezing arrow came at him.

30km away, ten beautiful ladies stood atop a white spaceship, looking coldly in the monk’s direction. One of them held her bow up, radiating cold, freezing ice. She is a low-level True Immortal.

"What, he evaded that?" she muttered, her breath freezing the air around her.

"Save the South Side Monk first-"

Before the order could come to an end, they saw a curved blade appear out of nowhere and stab through the Monk’s chest, dragging his Immortal soul out on the other side.

"WHAT?" Their eyes widened, a chill coursing down their spines.

Under their shocked gaze, the soul of the monk vanished, never to be seen again, at least by any of them, since they came to seek their death.

A young master would say, they came courting death. Unfortunately for them, they indeed came to the Heir of death, who would make sure they never leave.

"So you ten are from the Blood Shadows Assassination organization, huh?" Klaus’ voice came from the void, causing the ten ladies to turn and become alert.

"Well, Nine." Before they could do anything, a scythe came from the void and embedded itself in the back of the lady who fired the arrow.

Its deadly blade exploded from her chest, ending her as simply as killing a cat. Her body vanished into the void along with the scythe, leaving the nine ladies alarmed and alert.

"Maybe eight," Klaus’ voice came again from the void, but instead of attacking, it only made them even more agitated.

None of them saw him coming. In their eyes, they had everything under control.

By the time they arrived on the scene, Klaus seemed to have found himself against a mountain of a monk.

So they watched and timed it perfectly and made plans to take his life the moment he saw victory in his sight. So when he finally managed to corner the monk, they made their move.

It was a brilliant calculation on their part, something that could have taken anyone by surprise. However, they had no idea Klaus had already made plans for them the moment Icon informed him the Blood Shadows had arrived.

In truth, Klaus poured only half of his focus and concentration into the battle with the monk. With four True Immortals and six Peak Real Immortals coming for his life, the only move was to place his focus on them.

They had no idea he saw them come, and neither did the South Side Monk. If he did, he would have teamed up with them, since he has a good relationship with the Blood Shadows.

So, he made sure to wait for them to make their move, and that was when his own deadly plan was put into play.

It was a simple plan: he would try to attack the monk with the intent to kill, when in truth Seraya would handle the monk, and he would use the momentary distraction to deal with one of the Blood Shadows.

That one-shot kill was meant to instill fear and panic in them.

Per his calculation, he had a 25% chance of success in killing a True Immortal through a sneak attack. But thanks to Seraya, they were distracted, and he made the kill.

Klaus appeared from the void, resting the scythe on his shoulder, and a smirk formed on his lips.

"You dare kill one of us?" the strongest of them, a High-level True Immortal, shouted, pointing her dagger at Klaus.

"My bad. I didn’t know she was standing there. I only intended to kill a fly, and guess what," Klaus paused and chuckled, "I did."

This provocation further enraged them. "KILL HIM"

All nine of them moved.

"Just like I wanted."

Klaus grinned and raised his hand, bringing all nine of them to a halt. In the air, thousands of weapons appeared, all aimed at them.

"Let’s dance."

Klaus charged forward, and all the weapons moved with him.
