The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1584: Chaotic Battle

The Flame Dao Crystal was suspended on an elevated platform, hovering 4 meters off the ground. It is shaped like a triangle and lined with three distinct colors: red, blue, and gold.

The moment the crystal was revealed, everyone lost their rationality.

They were all afraid of Nyrela; however, the moment the Flame Dao Crystal was revealed, they lost that fear, and in its place, the greed they had buried deep within them ignited.

So they all moved, and, as expected, everyone wanted to reach the target, but none wanted their fellow man or woman to be the one to get it first; such is the greed of man.

So they all started fighting among themselves.

Meanwhile, the moment the Flame Dao Crystal was revealed, the Grim Wolf Alpha narrowed his eyes at Nyrela, who immediately sensed him.

The trashing she had given him had to be repaid.

But before she could caution him not to throw his life away, the angry wolf lunged at her, and to everyone’s shock, a few other beasts rallied behind him.

Even the Planet Devouring Ant Queen and the Naga King joined him.

They realized that the threat to them wasn’t the other beasts or humans they had initially thought it was. The threat to their lives was Nyrela, so they concluded that she should be dealt with first.

And they were right; against one of them, Nyrela was overpowered, but surrounded five to one, she was pushed back, and the frown on her face showed she didn’t expect such an alliance between the beasts.

But she was surrounded on all sides, and the only thing she could do was fight them seriously. Meanwhile, the likes of the Butcher God, Bone Flayer God, Skeleton Shaman, God King, and Nightstalker had all found themselves in similar situations.

Before Rhazor was attacked, he instructed Amaru to go after the Bone Flayer God the moment the formation was down, and he made a move toward it. So she had locked him down, and after a few exchanges, it became clear who was the strongest.

Amaru is a forbidden beast, one of the deadliest and most resourceful. Even after she was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, she managed to keep her strength at a certain stage.

So now that she had recovered some of her powers, it was only right for her to overpower another God King.

But while she could have had an easy time taking out the Bone Flayer God, Nightstalker, and Skeleton Shaman, they surprisingly joined forces, and just as Nyrela was surrounded, she was also locked down.

She didn’t even bother to turn into her dragon form. Rhazor had instructed her not to do that just yet, so she remained in her demi-human form and kept on attacking and defending against all kinds of attacks.

Within five minutes, everyone present was either attacking someone or being attacked. Nobody had even made it 4 km to the Flame Dao Crystal.

Nyrela surprisingly has a Spearman class, with her weapon of choice being the glaive, the same as Amaru’s. This gave her the reach she needed to stay ahead of attacks from the likes of the Naga King and the Planet Devouring Ant Queen

She continued to deflect, analyze, and attack whenever an opportunity appeared.

Suddenly, the Nightstalker slipped behind Amaru and stabbed at her with a dagger, aiming for her heart from behind.

However, before the dagger could get close to Amaru’s lower back, she twisted her body, and her left foot swept through the air, creating a sonic boom around it.

BANG!

Nightstalker was struck in the stomach, sending her flying back as she coughed blood and winced from the pain. But before she could get back up and attack again, three deadly arcs came from Amaru’s direction, forcing Nightstalker to block with her dagger.

"Damnit!"

The impact sent her flying back once more, her body hurtling several meters through the air. At the same time, the Butcher God got closer to Nyrela than ever before and stabbed his sword toward her chest, just as Nightstalker had tried to do.

However, Nyrela was a step ahead. She used the pole of her glaive to deflect the stabbing attack, and with a quick spin, she unleashed a wide arc aimed dangerously at the Skeleton Shaman.

Seeing that he was being ignored, the Butcher God roared furiously and unleashed three blood arcs, each packed with immense killing intent.

Amaru responded by unleashing her own arcs, which collided with the incoming attacks and exploded. However, she was struck by a powerful force the next second, sending her flying back toward the ground.

Before she could hit the ground, spears made of bone erupted from below and shot toward her. At the same time, the shadow of the Bone Flayer God fell over her, causing her expression to change.

If she defended against the spears, the Bone Flayer God would get her, and if she ignored the spears and focused on the Bone Flayer God, the spears would deal significant damage to her.

For a moment, she found herself in a bind. However, as if clarity had finally set in, her brow furrowed, and a smirk formed on her face.

The next second, the ground exploded, and lava gushed out, shooting into the air. The Bone Flayer God, who was much closer to her, was blown back, part of his body turning charred.

But the others didn’t escape unscathed.

Nightstalker was blasted back by a solidified lava fist, while the Skeleton Shaman was struck by a lava palm.

"Bugs," Amaru smirked and charged at the Bone Flayer God, the main target in this ordeal. She might have forgotten for a moment that she was a Lava Dragon.

But while all this was happening, she remained on the lookout for the Shadow Oracle and the God King.

She couldn’t see them anywhere, and to be honest, she wanted them within her sight so she wouldn’t have to worry about either of them.

Meanwhile, just as Amaru was displaying her Spearman skills, Nyrela was doing the same. However, her opponents were much stronger and deadlier than Amaru’s.

Aside from the Naga King, the Planet Devouring Ant Queen, and the Grim Wolf Alpha, the Fourteen-Legged Demon Spider and the Slayer Beetle had joined the three monster leaders in an attempt to take down the demigod lady whose sheer power had shaken their hearts.

She held her glaive in a firm grip, her senses spread wide as she weaved through one attack after another.

She was only a demigod going against the Universal Gods. While she was a monstrous talent herself, defeating them was practically impossible, and Nyrela knew that better than anyone.

Universal Gods are no joke.

But she wasn’t raised to retreat when the odds were stacked against her. She was raised to face those odds and overcome them so that the next time, she would breeze through them.

She saw this as a trial, and so, with everything she knew, she kept her glaive moving, and that alone spoke volumes about her determination.

But while she was a demigod fighting five Universal Gods at the same time, Rhazor was an Immortal Monarch fighting three Universal Gods.

By all logic, he should have been crushed within a few exchanges. Yet, to their shock, not only were they unable to corner him, but Rhazor seemed to continue improving with every exchange.

It was mind-blowing, and that alone said a lot about the kind of monster he was. A paragon is no joke, but they didn’t know that.

Rhazor maintained his momentum while keeping part of his focus on the Flame Dao Crystal.

So the moment he saw the Shadow Oracle slip past everyone and make a run for the Flame Dao Crystal, he smiled.

"Fury, destroy this bastard’s soul."

ROARRRRRRR!

A tattoo on his arm glowed, and a white flame dragon roared to life. Everyone felt their souls tremble when Fury appeared and lunged at the Shadow Oracle.
