The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Sofia is a very powerful fire mage who has recently broken through to the Sovereign stage. But just like the others, she hated Klaus, mainly because she hated Lucy for gaining more fame than her despite being two stages lower.

Lucy has also become a Sage recently, but she hasn’t told Klaus yet. She was saving it as a surprise for when he got there.

However, Sofia hated Lucy mainly because of the fame she gained despite being two realms below her.

Lucy had risen through the ranks of the Inner Disciples’ Saint list, becoming number 3 in just 5 months. Then, when she was getting ready to become a Sage, she challenged some people on the Sage list and defeated them.

This made her one of the very few to accomplish such a feat. A Saint, stepping on the Sage list. Only a few people had ever done that.

This made Sofia very angry to see someone shining more than her. Thus, she made it her mission to bring Lucy down, and since she couldn’t challenge Lucy directly because she was realms higher than her, she could at least make Lucy challenge her by making life more difficult for her boyfriend.

“So only the three of you came, huh?” Hunter Duncan said, addressing the faction leaders.

Choi nodded. “Indeed, I reached out to Jake Tyson, but he said he wouldn’t join us without 50 million Celestial Points. He also said that with 25 million, he will fulfill a single request from us.”

“Tsk.” Hunter chuckled. “Annoying bastard. I will be sure to remind him of this one day.”

Jake Tyson is the leader of the Thunder Blaze Sect, the 4th-ranked faction in the academy. Just like Choi, he is also an opportunist but a rather greedy one. Continue your adventure with empire

His price is higher than they could currently afford; thus, he wasn’t part of them.

“What about the others?” Hunter asked again.

“Vida Stronghold didn’t give any reply, and Jason Bond said unless the young miss accepts his proposal, he won’t join us.”

Kate Duncan’s expression immediately turned cold upon hearing that.

She is a beauty. That much is true. And because of her beauty, many boys want to get in her pants. One of these fellas is the leader of the Earth Shadow Guild, the 7th-ranked faction.

Of course, she has rejected him continuously, but it seems that now, needing his help, Jason seems to have grown some wings.

“I will kill him,” Kate muttered, clenching her fist.

“Relax, sister. When this is all over, and Klaus is in the ground, we will visit him next,” Hunter said, comforting his sister. Kate calmed down a bit but was still angry.

“As for Vida Stronghold, although she is the leader of the 6th-ranking faction, we can’t underestimate her. She is much stronger than you think. So, we just have to take her silence as her way of rejecting us.

We can only swallow our pride and make do with what we have. After all, the other legacies and great families are coming on board. We aren’t lacking here.”

Vida is a body cultivator and a very tall, beautiful, and powerful one at that. Many call her the War Hammer, mainly due to her powerful punches.

She is a great sage and a powerful one. So, despite her being the leader of the 6th-ranking faction, none of them dare to underestimate her. After all, bones will break when she and her faction of brutes get angry.

“As for the Aqua Spirit Sect, those triplets wouldn’t budge even if we offered them the world. So, we can only forget about them and move on. For the Yin-Yang faction, since their leader is stuck at the peak of the Sage stage, we should forget about them.

They hold no value anyway.” Hunter then turned his attention to those gathered in the room.

“You all know why you are here, so let’s not waste time. What preparations have you made, and what help do you need?” Hunter asked.

Kim was the first to speak. “I have received word from my family that Klaus will soon know what it means to offend a clan. They have also sent additional help that will aid in the long run. That said, my subordinates in the outer area will also play their part well, considering I have compensated them generously.

But I will need your word that you won’t back down on our deal. Although we are all in this together, I also have my ambitions. Know that backing out will be very dangerous for you.”

Hunter nodded. He had a deal with the one he was counting on to contribute the most to their unholy enterprise.

“What about you, Zaid?” Hunter asked.

“I have things ready for when he is here. My family has also said I should do my best to destroy him, and knowing me, I have things under control. But once Klaus is dealt with, this alliance is over. I hate legacies,” Zaid didn’t even polish his words.

Hunter could only give him a smile that said a lot. But now that they were allies, he could only swallow his words.

“I don’t think you have to worry about me. My subordinates will handle him in the outer region. Once he’s dealt with, I’ll finally have my way with his women. That is all I want,” Richy said, casting a lustful smile at Kate Duncan.

‘Honey bastard,’ Kate and her brother Hunter said in unison. But it wasn’t just them. Sofia and Amelia held the same expression.

Hunter turned to Sofia next. “My faction will be sure to reject him, and if he joins any other faction, we will make sure to recruit more people so his faction will suffer from fewer numbers.

After all, the more the numbers, the more points and resources we earn.”

“My faction has the same plan,” Amelia said, nodding at Sofia’s plan.

“I guess my faction will follow the same trend. I will make sure to deprive Klaus and his faction of members, making them weaker prey for future hunting,” Choi added, his voice making Hunter and Kate nod.

“Then it is settled. Let’s all carry out this plan, and I promise, all your requests will be fulfilled when this is set and done,” Hunter promised. Soon, the meeting was over, and they all headed back to their factions.

“Brother, do you think this will be enough? You saw what he did to the guard. Although I hate to admit it, Klaus is very powerful,” Kate said.

“Don’t worry, Klaus is only powerful on the outside because of how weak the outside is. Here, he will meet true geniuses and monsters. Whether he is powerful or not wouldn’t change anything,” Hunter said confidently.

“Okay, brother. Just make sure once this is over, I will be the one to slap that bitch silly.”

“Don’t worry, you know me. I will make it happen,” Hunter gave his sister a small smile before entering his room.

A few moments later, Kate followed him inside.

Exactly five minutes before 7 a.m., the sound of a plane heading toward the academy could be heard.

Soon, more sounds could be heard, and then large planes could be seen from the distance. Finally, the new batch of disciples and Klaus has arrived at the academy.
