The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1265: Defeating Niva


The miniature sun (fireball) exploded upward, slamming against the dome at the exact moment the singularity tried to compress him.

Klaus timed it perfectly, and it worked...

The dome split in an instant, hairline fractures racing across it like lightning snakes. The explosion was loud and threatening, something Klaus enjoyed doing.

Years back, he loved to explode large fields filled with horrors just for fun. Today, he got to do it as a way to break free from a dangerous bind.

Niva's eyes widened for the first time.

'He's using collapse to counter collapse... But that shouldn't be possible. The collapse law is ancient; he shouldn't be able to use it. Even I can barely use it without compressing my cells.'

The fact that Klaus had defended against her attack by countering it with something she was proud of shook her. Finally, she asked the question she had been holding back.

'Who are you, really?'

Klaus didn't reply to her. He first formed a complex hand seal, and the Chaotic Nirvana flame surged out like a violent storm.

A deafening crack echoed through the arena as the dome finally ruptured, exploding outward in a shower of debris. Ice shards infused with intense heat scattered everywhere.

Klaus burst out of the collapsing formation, wings blazing, steam rolling off his body. He had finally broken free from his temporary prison.

It turned out that he had to break free from a dome formed using space law and Ice; all he had to do was collapse the space inside by exploding it.

He pointed the bow downward, glaring at Niva with a smile on his handsome face... 'I am a winner, Niva. So, you can either submit and let me save you, or I will beat you into submission.'

Niva didn't blink. Her cold blue eyes locked on Klaus, a single sweat forming on her forehead.

She had poured so much space essence into that last attack, hoping to kill Klaus with it, but as it happens, things aren't as simple as they look.

'I will kill you now,' she said coldly, her voice entering Klaus's mind like a frozen transmission.

She stepped forward, her eyes glowing with frigid killing intent.

Then she whispered.

"Absolute Zero State."

The temperature suddenly fell so drastically that even Klaus's flames began to dim.

'Oh… this just got serious. Too bad I now have to beat you till you can't lift a finger.'

The world froze.

Not just the ground, not just the air, it felt like reality itself shuddered as Niva entered Absolute Zero State.

Frost crawled across the arena floor in fractal veins, spreading so fast the reinforced barriers cracked like brittle glass. Everyone started to panic at the sudden turn of events.

From the start of the battle to this point, Niva had been harnessing the power of her ice element...However, she didn't harness it to its truest potential.

The fact is, on top of her having an affinity for the Ice element, her comprehension of it has already reached the Ice Harmony stage and even transcended to the next level - Absolute ice.

This form of ice can only be countered with another Absolute element. It is, as most likely to say, the divine form of the element.

If Klaus wants to continue with his flame element, then it must be an Absolute flame.

Every breath he drew felt like inhaling needles dipped in liquid ice. Klaus appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, he began to debate whether saving Niva was even worth it.

'I mean, she wants me dead, so killing her is fine, right?' Klaus chuckled inwardly, but then his brow furrowed.

Niva vanished just like that.

She did not teleport.

Nor did she move.

She simply ceased to exist at one point and appeared a heartbeat later—right in front of Klaus.

A blade of condensed Absolute Zero Ice extended from her hand, humming with deadly intent. The air around it, as it moved, froze solid.

Klaus's eyes widened.

'I didn't see that come.'

The frozen blade descended with deadly precision.

Klaus snapped his wings shut, rotating midair as the blade grazed his cheek. A streak of white frost spread across his skin, freezing a thin layer instantly.

He landed with a skid, flames erupting under his feet to keep his legs from freezing solid.

But Niva was already behind him. She moved with flashing speed, attempting to stab Klaus in the heart. However, just when her blade was 3 inches from him, Klaus extended his hand and grabbed it.

"Woman… I admire your spirit. But I'm starting to think knocking you out is the only way to protect your stubborn ass."

Klaus's hand moved and landed five punches on five different parts of her body. Before the 6th, she vanished and appeared 20 meters from him.

'You will thank me later,' Klaus transmitted to her, and then he extended his hand, all four flames at his disposal ignited.

Nirvana, Fury, Void, and Qilin formed into a deadly arrow, which Klaus quickly loaded into his bow and aimed at her.

'I have locked five meridian pathways in your body, so if you don't want to cripple yourself, play along and let me help you get back to your life faster and safer.'

Klaus didn't wait for her reply; he just released the arrow, allowing it to streak through the frozen air. Then, just when it was a meter from her, it exploded, swallowing her in a storm of fire.

Klaus formed a hand seal, and the flame surged even more.

"AaaaarrrrggghHHH"

From within, Niva screams painfully. This scream caused many to shudder deep in their spine.

However, Klaus didn't allow her to relax

Three more arrows were released, and the more they enter the storm of fire, the more she screams. The flame was, in fact, so intense that more barriers were raised.

Klaus had long attain Absolute Flame and Ice. Infact, if he finds a rather cold place, he can turn his seven Ice elements into elemental spirits like he did with his four flames with Lunara's help.

"If you have Absolute Ice, I have Absolute Fire," Klaus said with a chuckle before unleashing another fire arrow.

And just like that, the screams stop coming from the dome. Soon, the fire died down, and to everyone's shock, not even a bone was left behind.

This caused the entire arene to turn quiet. Not even a single soul dared to make a peep.

On the other hand, Varkos and his people felt their blood run cold as they lost yet another Immortal Spirit.

Niva just ceased to exist. Unlike what happened to Seraya, Niva lost both her body and her immortal spirit. It felt like Klaus had burned her out of existence.

So, while they would have loved to have the immortal spirit of such a talented warrior, in the end, they lost her to Klaus's flames.

Klaus smiled, taking a deep breath.

Then, for the first time, he turned to his fans and said in some way an arrogant tone.

"At this point, I believe you all would agree they should just hand me the winner title. I have surpass all expectation so I deserve it"

For a moment, nobody said anything. But then cheers suddenly rang out, causing Klaus to smile before walking away.
