THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSE -
Chapter 979: Goddess Bast Blessing
Chapter 979: Goddess Bast Blessing
Since Efad asked to speak to him, Klaus knew it had to be important, so he paid close attention to what he had to say.
“It is about the Star Monarch Bloodline. We have to awaken the combat aspect of it.”
“There is a combat aspect to it,” Klaus said, looking puzzled.
Efad laughed. “Of course, there is a combat aspect. What do you think I used to protect myself all those years ago?”
Klaus laughed. “I knew you could harness the power of your beast companions, but I never knew you had a bloodline aspect for combat.”
Efad just shook his head. “Let me tell you, Klaus. When it comes to combat, I am perhaps the best and the most versatile among all nine of us.”
Klaus raised his brow, not expecting to hear such bold claims from Efad. He had met Magnus and Asura, so hearing Efad, the good and calm one, say those words made him feel like there was a side to him he had yet to know.
But of course there is. After all, he had yet to completely unlock all his memories of his ninth incarnation, so he doesn’t know all there is to know about him.
Efad, his ninth soul body, shared the same memories as he did. Although there was no such thing inside, Klaus now seemed to realize that, in a strange way, his soul bodies had a deeper understanding of the many lives he had lived than he did.
“Make me understand.”
“You already know that with the many beasts we have under us, we can turn into them or use their abilities in combat.
However, what you don’t know is that because I can turn into any beast I please, I can also use their combat styles as I please.
So, take, for example, during combat, I decided to become a serpent, a panther, and a dragon at the same time.
I can spray poison from my mouth, move very fast like a panther, and dominate the battle like a dragon. Or worse, while many dominate the land, I can dominate the air and even the sea, provided I have a beast that lives in these environments.
Basically, I wouldn’t have the same battle style, which, let me tell you, in long battles, switching combat style will be one that the enemy will hate and one that would give you the highest chance of success.
You can move however you want and even adapt, provided you have the right beasts. basically, you can use the power of a thousand beasts at the same time, provided your body can handle it.
So tell me, what will become of you if you were to create a battle style by fusing the battle style of thousands of beasts?”
The more Klaus listened to Efad, the better he gained an understanding of his powers and how he could use them to the best of his abilities.
Efad looked at Klaus’s thoughtful expression and smiled. “Now, before you think that is all, know that the main combat prowess of the Star Monarch is not about our versatility in battle but our ability to use formations.
That is the main thing you need, and since I am here now, I will start working on it. There is a technique rooted in the Star Monarch Bloodline that requires a hundred million beasts to fully comprehend.
However, the first form only requires ten thousand beasts, and so far, we have that many beasts, so we should work on that also.
Trust me, with just the first form, you will see what true power looks like, and I think in the coming battles, you will need a powerful trump card that even Orien can’t give you.”
“I like that you are bragging while they are not here, but I can only wait and see what you will deliver.” Klaus laughed, making Efad smirk.
“Just wait and see what I am capable of. However, before anything, we have to go awaken the hidden abilities of Bast’s bloodline before you give them your blood.
There is more to the Bast race than what they have awakened now. Bast left the Supreme Blessings that must be awakened, so we should handle that now.”
Klaus was stunned, but he left the soul sea, and soon, he appeared in Dream City.
He quickly found his mom, who was busy working on Nebula’s hair.
“Mom.”
Klaus, of course, went for a big hug since it had been a while since he had seen his mother.
“How have you been?” his mom asked, and Klaus smiled,
“Better than ever.”
“I can see that,” his mom laughed, eyeing the two new additions to his harem. Klaus just smirked, knowing his mom would never change regardless of how long it took her.
“From the look on your face, I can tell you didn’t come here to have dinner.”
“You got that right. I am here for Princess Eshira.”
The beauty who was looking at her new hair in the mirror set the mirror aside and immediately moved toward Klaus, taking his arm.
Her sisters looked at Klaus with envious looks, causing him to laugh, “We are just going to handle some stuff with her family and will promptly return.”
They wanted to protest, but hearing the logical explanation made them lighten up.
Soon, Klaus and Princess Eshira left and headed to Zanbathu.
It took them two hours to get there.
The first people Klaus saw were Okoye and Rita, the lady Klaus met at the mall.
Klaus had already told Okoye to talk to her after the battle with the sea race. It seemed she had done just that.
⟦She looked more tamed and easygoing compared to when we first met her⟧, Efad spoke from Klaus’s soul sea when his eyes landed on Okoye.
Klaus let a rare smile appear on his face, taking his mind back to when he met Okoye. ‘She indeed had changed. The all-powerful Panther had now become more human.’
⟦Good for her, I guess. This makes her appear more relatable⟧
Klaus and Princess Eshira stopped when they approached the two ladies.
“How are you ladies doing?” Klaus asked.
Okoye smiled, appearing happy to see Klaus. “We are fine. I was just showing Rita around.”
“How are you holding up, Rita?” Klaus asked. Since Klaus had made her quit her job at the mall, she was slowly adapting back to her life as an assassin.
“I am slowly getting back on my feet, but I will soon get the hang of things.” As one of the very few who managed to survive Klaus’s massacre during the purge of the Dark Order, it was indeed hard for her to get back to that life.
However, inasmuch as Klaus would have loved for her to remain the boring mall lady making amends for her past mistakes, he knew the heavens wouldn’t let her rest, so it was best if she got back to her true self before that day came.
“Good to hear that, Rita. I am sure soon enough you will be back to who you are meant to be.” Rita nodded.
“In that case, we won’t take your time. We are here to see the King and Queen.” Okoye nodded, and Klaus flew away with Princess Eshira.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the palace where the King and Queen were already waiting with the elders. The Black Panther was also there…
Princess Eshira had sent them a message ahead of their visit, so they prepared to meet him. Klaus sat down on the chair reserved for him and started speaking.
“I have a message from the Panther Goddess Bast…”
