The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1014: The Cats and Doom Guards

Klaus was struck dumb when he saw the two ladies on the bed.

Back in his 9th incarnation, when he was banished into the Forest of Anarchy to die, he surprisingly awakened his bloodline when he was on his last leg.

Back then, during the awakening, millions of beasts sensed the uniqueness in his blood, so they came running, aiming to devour him.

The first two to arrive were the black-haired and red-haired Immortal Phantom Cats.

They were on the run back then after terrorizing a planet full of beast hunters. When they sensed Efad’s bloodline, they came running.

Initially, they wanted to devour him because they sensed the uniqueness of his bloodline.

However, when Efad begged them to let him live long enough so he could get his revenge on the Elven Council before devouring him, they found pity on him, so they instead gave him a new deal.

He was to give them a few drops of his blood every week, and they would protect him and ensure he got his revenge.

The desperate Efad agreed and gave them his blood. However, that was when everything changed.

The moment they took his blood, Efad sensed a connection form between them. This connection not only allowed him to command the two beasts, but he could also use their skills and techniques.

The two cat sisters back then were at the peak of the Domain stage, and so after taking his blood, they broke through.

They also sensed this connection. At first, they panicked, for they never planned on becoming slaves to a tamer. They could sense the connection between them, and Efad had the power to literally make them his slaves.

However, when they heard the request Efad made, they lit up.

Efad only asked their permission to use their skills when he was in trouble. In fact, this request immediately told the two sisters what kind of person Efad was.

So they made a decision back then that they would protect him and, using his blood, they would also grow stronger in the hope that one day they could gain their freedom.

If only they knew the longer they stayed with Efad, the harder it would be for them to leave him. In the end, they became his most trusted subordinates and allies, and through the many years the Star Monarch explored the vast universe, they were with him.

In fact, if one were to ask who the most cherished and loved companions of the Star Monarch were, Lissa and Alida would be among the two.

“Their cultivation…” Klaus, who was moving toward the bed, saw their cultivation base and halted in his footsteps.

“How come?” Klaus couldn’t help but wonder, for the ladies before him were merely at the peak of the Ascendant stage.

“It seems they used their cultivation base to power something extremely powerful, and so they regressed.” Efad, the 9th soul body, appeared and hovered over the two ladies. “However, I can sense they haven’t declined in innate talents, meaning that using your blood, you can easily restore a part of their cultivation.”

“How high can it take them?”

“Maybe the peak of the Ascension stage, maybe even the Nether stage. We both know that when it comes to innate talent, these two are super talented.”

Klaus nodded, feeling a little better upon hearing Efad’s words.

“How do I wake them up?”

“I will handle it. You should go meet the twins.”

Klaus raised his brow, “Which twins?”

“The last two of your Doom Guards.”

Klaus smiled weakly, almost forgetting about the last two of his Doom Guards. Veylor already told him the last two of his Doom Guards were inside something akin to a pocket dimension on Earth.

Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that the pocket dimension is this cave.

“I will leave them to your care then.” Klaus left, and Efad retrieved two drops of the Star Monarch’s blood and dropped them on their foreheads.

Meanwhile, Klaus walked out of the room, and right when he exited, he saw two people flying toward him.

For a moment, Klaus didn’t know if his eyes were looking upside down. He closed them, and when he opened, the two people flying toward him were standing before him with smiles on their faces.

He looked between them, and a frown mixed with shock appeared on his face.

“How can there be an Angel and a Demon who are twins?” Klaus asked, staring at the two standing before him. The male was a handsome Angel with golden hair and golden wings, while the lady had dark hair and was clearly a Demon.

“No need to look shocked, master. We are a special case, even back in the Forbidden Universe. Our parents came from two different races, hence the outcome you are seeing now,” the Demon lady said, winking at Klaus.

From what Klaus knew, her name was Yawily, but she preferred to be called Yaw, and the handsome Angel was Hans.

“But isn’t it one of the cardinal rules never for a Demon and Angel to procreate? I mean, that same rule should apply in the Forbidden Universe, right?” Klaus asked, but Hans just smirked.

“In a universe where everything was coming undone, those rules fell like they never existed.”

“I see. In that case, how have you two been?” Klaus was, in a way, happy for the two before him, who had the aura of peak Nether stage warriors. This meant with his blood, they would reach the Domain stage.

“We’ve been waiting for you, master. Now that you are here, I am sure a mission will follow promptly.”

“There is indeed a mission, but it is 57 days away. So for now, I will give you my blood, and after you break through, you can try your luck with the statues out there.

I will be busy for a while, so handle matters on your own for now. Nyxthar and the others are currently inside this place, so look for them.”

Hans and Yaw nodded and, after receiving Klaus’s blood, they left.

Klaus watched them leave, and he could only shake his head. “Although the Forbidden Universe was destroyed by the Doom Race, I managed to score a few powerful ones.

When I become strong enough, I will explore the ruins of the Forbidden Universe and see if I can get some more.”

After saying that, Klaus left. Soon, he was standing before a Pagoda having nine floors. Seeing the segmentation, Klaus just laughed.

“Nine is a remarkable number. Lady Eleven just didn’t know that yet.”

Klaus looked at the Pagoda carefully, and after enough scrutiny, he walked toward the only door located at the base.

He pressed his arm against the door, and like with the building the cats were sleeping in, this one too opened, and Klaus walked in.

The moment he walked in, the space started to light up. Klaus waited for the last light to turn on before he started to examine the place.

Almost like it was placed there for him to see, Klaus saw a book on the glass table. On the page, the title read, “Lady Eleven’s Guide to the First Level Inheritance. Read It Before Doing Anything.”

“What a baby,” Klaus said, picking up the book and opening the first page.

“If you are facing a green box while reading this, then look exactly three o’clock to your right, you will see a manual hovering in a transparent glass. That should be the first thing you must learn, for it is the only original copy of the Sword Technique left behind by the Unknown Sword Dao from the forbidden universe.”

Klaus’s heart shook, and he almost dropped the book in his hand…
