The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 1283

Chapter 1283: Klaus’s Offer
Both Niva and Seraya were left dumbfounded, shock riddling their faces as they gazed at Klaus in horror.

It had just dawned on the two of them that the person they were dealing with was no weakling. In fact, they were standing in the presence of a monster.

What Klaus had done so far, now that they both thought about it, made no sense. In a logical sense, no mortal should be able to pull off what he had done for both of them.

Transporting Niva through the void over a span of several light-years is unprecedented. It shouldn’t be done that easily anywhere. In fact, it should have escaped the sight of even a True Immortal.

Rescuing Seraya’s soul after destroying her body under the watchful gaze of dozens of True Immortals and even an Immortal King is just too daring to attempt.

But Klaus pulled it off, and the fact that they both were alive now—even though one of them was merely an immortal soul—was just too much to handle.

It shows Klaus’s capabilities.

“Are you from a legacy family? You must be from a legacy family. Only the legacy heirs can measure up to you.” To make sense of why Klaus was stronger than her, she convinced herself by pairing him against the heirs of the major families in the universe.

Hearing her words, Klaus smirked. “Young lady, it will be in your best interest not to put me on the same pedestal as those pompous assholes who have been grown behind thick walls like greenhouse flowers.

If anything, measure me against those freaks that guard the Dome gates, or the twisted psychos who venture into the forbidden lands and ruins. They are worthy to stand beside me, not some stupid legacy heirs.”

Klaus was almost angry hearing Niva’s words.

The level he saw himself at was far higher than that of the heirs. Of course, there are a few of them that could give him a hard time, but as a paragon, most of the annoying bugs he faced were legacy heirs.

So naturally, he hated them.

“Whatever,” Niva shrugged and turned to Seraya. She had wanted to fight her since the background research she did on her showed she was also a scum of society.

Too bad Klaus beat her to that. “What do you intend to do with her?”

“I already said she either accepts my offer to become my weapon spirit, or I will seal her away for a thousand years. Afterwards, I will ask again.

However, if she refuses the offer again, I will have to devour her soul and turn her into energy.” Klaus paused and turned to face Seraya.

“I like my weapon spirits to give me their consent first before placing the Weapon Spirit Seal on them. So what do you think, wanna become my weapon spirit for a hundred years?”

Seraya didn’t say anything like how feisty she was when he brought her out. She just remained standing, her mind spinning like a hula hoop.

Klaus knew she was thinking, so he made sure she understood what he was asking of her.

“If you accept my offer, you will become my weapon spirit for just 100 years. In those 100 years, you will aid me in killing scums of society that threaten to destroy the innocent.

In return, if and when I start to see that you have changed, I will aid you in any way I can to ensure your progress in your cultivation. I hate rising alone… I enjoy taking my friends with me to the top.

So in a way, you must earn my friendship.

Then, when the 100 years are over, I will personally help you forge a new body and assist you in reintegrating into society as a new person.

Of course, there are other freebies, but that will depend on how well you perform. That is all I can say. You have five minutes to make a decision.”

Klaus sat back in his chair and turned to Maud, who wasn’t even bothered by what was happening around her. She had just made a friend online, and so she decided to spend some time chatting with her.

All the drama happening around her seemed not to faze her. She is all about fashion, and her new friend seems to be a big-time fashion designer.

Klaus just shook his head and let her be. He had already pulled her away from the fashion show on Planet Yahmir; he wouldn’t want to distract her again.

Meanwhile, Niva continued to stare at Klaus, her mind replaying the offer he had made to Seraya.

Everything sounded like a good thing to her. However, deep in her heart, she couldn’t help but wonder if this was a trap.

It is all too unreal to think that, after all Seraya had done, she would only get to work for him for 100 years, but she would get to walk away with so much more.

‘Nobody can be that generous for just 100 years of work,’ Niva said inwardly. However, a part of her still thought that maybe Klaus meant what he said.

Maybe some people are just generous.

Meanwhile, Seraya was left in a loop. On one hand, if she accepts Klaus’s offer, she will be free in 100 years. However, if she were to be deceived, then she would forever be a weapon spirit with no chance of ever breaking free.

So it was all down to whether she should take a leap of faith and trust Klaus or remain stubborn, which, until she could break the three seals on her body, would keep her trapped.

‘He saved me at least, so the least I could do is trust him. If he betrays me, I can only blame my bad luck for meeting scum men in my life.’

She sighed and then turned to Klaus. “I accept your offer.”

Klaus smiled and formed a hand seal, manifesting a seal. He gestured forward, and the seal flew, merging with her forehead.

Seraya’s eyes widened, but a few seconds later, she frowned. A lost expression appeared on her face. “Is that all?”

She asked, unsure of what to even think. She expected a change, but what she got was just too shocking.

Klaus smiled and stood up. He walked toward the window of the spaceship and gazed out at the planet 10,000 miles away. A couple of seconds later, he turned to Seraya.

“Oh, were you expecting me to enslave you, huh? Unfortunately for you, I am not that wicked. You did nothing to me, so while I took it upon myself to punish you, I wouldn’t go as far as to enslave you.

I only wanted you to become my weapon spirit, and that is what I did. You still have your free will. You can do as you please.

However, when I command you to unleash the power of the sword, you will obey, and lastly, you cannot kill me.”

Seraya was left stunned. She expected so much worse, but what she received was the opposite.

“Oh, and lastly, there are seven seals on the sword. Your job now is to break at least three in the next 100 years. I won’t force you to do that, but please know that breaking just three seals will benefit you more than it will me.

But before that, I have a mission for you.”
