The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1197: Void Affinity, New Skill, A Reward

Klaus and his three wives moved forward, aiming to meet the 30 Wraiths who were also approaching. Soon, they saw 30 tall humanoid Wraiths coming at them.

“Looks like the three with the blue eyes are Domain Stage Wraiths,” Klaus said, and his ladies, who had already suspected that, nodded.

“I will take them and ten more Nether Stage Wraiths. Handle the other twenty.”

They nodded and moved. Klaus also did, and soon, he was mere meters away from the Wraiths. Klaus looked calm and composed despite facing this many Wraiths.

He extended his right hand, and a whip appeared in it. Lightning surged from his body and coated the whip, making it appear more dangerous and powerful.

“So white eyes are Nether Stage and blue eyes are Domain Stage, huh?” Klaus smiled. “Now let’s see if my theory about the void fragments is right or wrong.”

Klaus unleashed a whip attack that crackled with lightning, blasting one of the Wraiths to smithereens.

⟪You have absorbed 10 Void Fragments from a Tier 14 Wraith…⟫

Klaus had no time to see what had changed or even allow himself to feel it. He knew doing so would not only deprive him of precious void fragments, but he might make a mistake, and his ladies might get hurt.

So Klaus focused on the Wraiths. Since he was taking on the three Domain Stage and the ten Nether Stage, he wanted to kill them as early as possible.

His whip moved a second time, and this time, three more Wraiths were blasted into void fragments. Klaus moved and pointed his finger forward, causing a lightning bolt to surge from it and blast one of the Domain Stage Wraiths to death.

‘This is just too boring.’

Klaus was now a Life Stage warrior, so fighting Domain Stage and Nether Stage felt boring to him.

Even long before he reached this stage, he had been killing Nether and Domain Stage warriors like they were mere flies. He was just too powerful to be facing these losers.

Klaus swung his whip again.

Lightning flashed across the dark land, cutting through five Wraiths at once. Their bodies broke apart into black mist and vanished.

Turning to his wives, he could see they were not facing any challenges either. All three of them had yet to take his blood, but they were Nirvana Stage warriors who could fight across realms, so he wasn’t worried about them at all.

One of them was already enough to handle the 20 Nether Stage Wraiths within minutes.

Obviously, it was overkill to make all three of them face the 20 Wraiths.

In no time, the battle ended, and Klaus went ahead to absorb the Void Fragments in the air. He needed that more than anything at the moment.

After he finished that, he joined his ladies…

“How are we doing?” Hanna asked, wanting to check if Klaus had made some progress after this battle.

Klaus smiled and nodded. “I can feel my connection to the void now. This means I have attained Void Affinity. However, I have to check to see what kind of skill I have received.”

“Go ahead, we will protect you.”

Klaus nodded and closed his eyes. He could have done that with just one of his many brains and still had time and concentration to fight.

However, he wanted to have this time with his ladies. He wanted them to feel included in his life. If he merely chose to multitask, then this mission wouldn’t be as engaging and bonding as he wanted it to be.

The moment he entered the system space, he saw dozens of messages showing his kills and the void fragments he had absorbed.

However, he ignored it all for now and focused on the message that announced his breakthrough.

⟪Void Fragments Requirement met. Congratulations, you have attained Void Affinity and awakened the Void Law⟫

⟪Void Law⟫

⟪Mastery Level: Beginner⟫

⟪Description: You can now use the Void Energy and harness the true power of the void in your movement, defence, and attacks. The deeper your understanding of the void, the more flexible you can harness it⟫

⟪You have learned a new Void Skill: Void Heart⟫

⟪Void Heart⟫

⟪Rank: Unknown⟫

⟪Type: Passive⟫

⟪Description: Your heart harmonises with the void energy, allowing you to become one with the void. Due to this, you have gained the following abilities…

↠ [Void Health]: Your health will be boosted by 20,000% when inside the void.

↠ [Void Stamina]: Your stamina will be boosted by 20,000% when inside the void.

↠ [Void Agility]: Your agility will be boosted by 20,000% when inside the void.

↠ [Void Strength]: Your strength will be boosted by 20,000% when inside the void.⟫

‘Damn, at this rate, I am immortal when inside the void.’ Klaus smiled weakly, allowing the moment to seep into his bones and skull.

He expected an active skill like the one his ladies got after comprehending the void. However, he didn’t know whether the heavens were behind the OP skill simply because they felt shameless during the awakening and wanted to make amends, or if it was all from his system.

Klaus didnt care about that.

Obviously, since it is a passive skill, it becomes virtually useless when he leaves the void. However, Klaus is already strong on the outside.

However, now on the inside, he is an immortal.

So, allowing him to become this strong inside the void is already too darn good. He will become 20,000 times faster, stronger, and healthier when inside the void.

‘Damn, this is good.’ Klaus smiled again.

His wives could use their skills on the outside and even more on the inside since it was an active skill that fed on the Void Essence.

However, he didn’t need to have void essence to use it. The moment he stepped into the void, it would automatically activate and then deactivate when he left.

Klaus checked the next message after the one that showed his new skill.

⟪You have received a Void Crystal. Toss it in a void vortex and glimpse the truth hidden behind the layers of the void⟫

Klaus looked into his system inventory and saw a diamond-shaped black crystal.

‘Icon, what is a void vortex?’

⟪They are the red lightning you saw when you stood on the mountain. All you have to do is approach one and toss the Void Crystal in, like the description said.⟫

‘I see.’ Klaus pondered for a moment and asked Icon a question.

‘Icon, what do you think this truth hidden behind the layers is?’

⟪I don’t know that, Master. So we both will find out when we reach the vortex.⟫

‘So the crystal didn’t come from you, huh?’

⟪This is my first time seeing a Void Crystal. Mostly, they are like spirit stones that contain spiritual qi; in this case, they were supposed to contain Void Energy. I had no idea it had other uses.⟫

‘I see. I guess we will find out more when we get to a void vortex.’

Klaus checked his progress, and he was stunned.

⟪Current Void Fragments: [216/399]⟫

‘Looks like reaching the Adept Stage is only an arm’s reach away.’ Klaus smiled and opened his eyes.

He had attained Void Affinity, received a new skill, and even a reward after a few minutes inside the void. Now, he had to upgrade and enhance his understanding by killing more voidlings.

“I guess we should kill more than.”

The three ladies nodded with smiles. They were also growing stronger, so they could only keep moving forward.
