The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus looked at the message with a smile. He had indeed earned a great deal of experice points from the zombies. Each kill had awarded him close to 8,000 points, allowing him to level up faster than he had anticipated. Now, he had over 500 stat points ready to be distributed at any time and an ormous pool of Spiritual Qi to use as he saw fit.

His understanding of the ice elemt had also improved significantly. He could now unleash attacks not only from his sword but also from his hands. Ev a focused step on the g could gerate a devastating ice attack. However, of that seemed important at the momt. Suring him were five zombies that posed a differt kind of danger.

"Human, you dare slaughter my kind," the Zombie Captain repeated, its gaze fixed squarely on Klaus.

Through years of fighting and studying zombies, humans had learned that there were ranks among them. The normal zombies were like foot soldiers, while the Zombie Captains. Above the captains were the Zombie Gerals. According to what was known, every zombie army consisted of five captains and one geral. So the appearance of these five confirmed the rumors.

Klaus had already killed one captain, which meant there were four more and a geral still to face.

"Are you mtal? Those idiots were trying to kill us! What, are we just supposed to stand there and let them?" Klaus's voice was laced with arrogance, completely disregarding the danger that sured him. His arrogance was like an insult in face of this monsters.

"Die!" The Zombie Captain roared, lunging at Klaus with terrifying speed. But Klaus only smiled slightly. With a swift movemt, he met the Zombie Captain head-on, their clash sding sparks flying through the air.

"Weak," Klaus muttered, his face full of disdain as he pushed the Zombie Captain back a few steps. The zombie growled in frustration and lunged forward again, determined to kill.

But Klaus was ready. He parried the zombie's attack with ease and, in a fluid motion, st a powerful kick to its abdom. The force of the blow st the Zombie Captain flying backward, crashing into the g with a heavy thud. he dashed forward again, meeting the Zombie captain in another clash.

Anna and the others readied their weapons, expecting a fierce battle. But to their shock, the other zombies just stood there, watching Klaus and the Zombie Captain fight. It was as if the rest of the zombies disregarded their existce tirely, focusing solely on Klaus.

"Die!" The Zombie Captain shouted once more, lunging at Klaus after being pushed back again.

Klaus chuckled, unfazed by the attack. "That's ough. You can die now," he said, his voice calm and confidt.

With a quick motion, Klaus disappeared. The next momt, he reappeared behind the Zombie Captain, his sword piercing through the zombie's mouth and exiting the back of its head. The captain's eyes wided in shock before it collapsed to the g, dead.

"Hehe, a High-grade Zombie Stone," Klaus muttered with a satisfied grin, examining the stone in his hand after crushing the Zombie Captain's head under his foot.

Turning to the remaining zombies, Klaus's expression grew ev more arrogant. "Gtlem, this young master doesn't have all the time in the world, so I'd advise you all to come together so we can d this faster," he called out, his voice dripping with confidce.

One of the remaining Zombie Captains bristled at Klaus's arrogance, ready to lunge at him. But before it could move, Klaus raised a finger in the air, stopping it in its tracks.

"It would be best if you all came together," Klaus repeated, his tone calm but commanding. "I don't have much time for one on one combats."

Contrary to what anyone would have expected, the remaining three Zombie Captains lunged at Klaus simultaneously. And instead of retreating or showing any sign of fear, Klaus welcomed them with a satisfied grin, his sword glowing blue.

"Arrogant," Asha muttered, standing far from the battlefield, her eyes fixed on Klaus as he clashed with the three Zombie Captains.

Nia, watching alongside her, nodded in agreemt. "Well, he certainly has the strgth to back it up. But this time, he might have bitt off more than he can chew." Her gaze remained steady, analyzing the chaotic sce below as Klaus fought with the three Zombie captains.

Asha's eyes narrowed as she watched the intse battle. "He's fighting three Zombie Captains at once. Ev if he's strong, that's a lot of power to handle."

Nia's gaze remained focused on Klaus, a thoughtful expression on her face. "True, but sometimes arrogance can be a double-edged sword. His confidce might be his greatest asset or his biggest downfall."

Asha glanced back at Nia. "Do you think he'll manage to defeat them all?"

Nia sighed, her eyes still fixed on the battlefield. "It's hard to say. If anyone can pull it off, it's him. But the risk is high. He's pushing himself to the limit, and those Zombie Captains won't hold back. Not forgetting the Zombie Geral, he won't just let his captain die just like that"

Asha frowned, concerned. "If he gets overwhelmed, we might need to interve. I don't want to see someone with his pottial fall here."

Nia nodded. "We'll keep watching for now. If things get too dangerous, we'll step in. But for now, let's see how he handles this challge. It's a test of both his skill and his resolve."

If only Nia and her sister knew that Klaus had yet to use the points he earned from his last three level-ups. The strgth he was using to fight came from his Level 8 point distribution. He still had 500 points left from his 9th to th level-ups that he hadn't allocated yet.

Klaus clashed with the three Zombie Captains, sding sparks flying with each strike. Despite the intse battle, Klaus showed no signs of being overwhelmed. Instead, he appeared to relish the fight.

He parried an attack from one of the captains, his sword meeting the emy's with a metallic clang. With a swift kick, he knocked another captain back, sding it staggering. The third captain lunged at him, its bone sword aimed at his midsection.

Klaus leaped backward, narrowly avoiding the sword that slashed through the air where he had just be. He landed gracefully, his eyes locked on his opponts with a confidt glint.

The three captains regrouped, their movemts more cautious now. They circled Klaus, each waiting for an oping. Klaus took the opportunity to taunt them.

"Is this all you've got?" Klaus shouted. "I've faced tougher opponts in my sleep!"

The captains snarled, their eyes glowing with rage. One of them charged at him again, its bone sword swinging in a wide arc. Klaus sidestepped the attack with ease, his movemts fluid and precise.

He countered with a quick slash, catching the captain on its arm. The captain howled in pain but didn't falter. It swung its sword back at Klaus, who blocked the attack with his own blade.

Klaus pushed the captain back, th turned his atttion to the second captain. This one tried to strike from the side, but Klaus anticipated the move. He met the attack head-on, their weapons clashing in a shower of sparks.

The third captain tried to flank him, but Klaus was ready. He spun a, his sword slicing through the air. The captain barely managed to dodge, its bone sword missing Klaus by inches.

"Come on! Is this the best you can do?" Klaus taunted, his voice filled with mockery. "I've fought monsters in my sleep that were more of a challge than you!"

The captains' frustration grew. They attacked in unison, hoping to overwhelm Klaus. But he was too quick, too skilled. He deflected their blows with ease, his movemts almost a dance.

He ducked under a swing from the first captain, th kicked out, catching it in the shin. The captain stumbled but quickly regained its balance. The second captain tried to strike from above, but Klaus blocked the attack with a powerful overhead swing.

The third captain tried to catch him off guard, but Klaus spun a, his sword flashing through the air. He slashed at the captain's shoulder, drawing a deep cut.

The captains were now on the defsive, their attacks growing more desperate. Klaus pressed his advantage. He dodged and weaved, his sword a blur of motion.

"You're making this too easy," Klaus said with a grin. "I've faced harder challges on a lazy afternoon."

The captains growled, their frustration evidt. They attacked with rewed fury, but Klaus was always one step ahead. He parried their strikes and countered with his own, his sword finding gaps in their defses.

He knocked one of the captains off balance with a powerful kick, th spun a to face the other two. They were breathing heavily now, their attacks slowing.

"Is that all you've got?" Klaus taunted again. "I was expecting a real fight."

The captains exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of anger and rage. They regrouped, their movemts more synchronized now. They attacked in a coordinated effort, trying to catch Klaus off guard.

But Klaus was ready. He dodged their combined assault with ease, his movemts fluid and precise. He blocked their attacks and countered with his own, his sword slicing through the air.

The captains were growing weary, their attacks becoming slower and less accurate. Klaus took advantage of their fatigue, pressing his attack with reltless precision.

He disarmed one of the captains with a swift strike, sding its bone sword clattering to the g. The captain stumbled back, its eyes wide with shock.

The other two captains continued to fight, but their movemts were sluggish now. Klaus took advantage of their weakness, his sword a blur of motion as he slashed and parried.

Despite their best efforts, the captains were no match for Klaus. He toyed with them, his movemts precise and controlled. He dodged their attacks and countered with devastating strikes, his taunts never ceasing.

Finally, the captains were forced to retreat. They backed away, their expressions a mix of anger and defeat. Klaus watched them with a satisfied grin, his sword still glowing with a strange ergy. For once, the Zombies that have no expressions aside evil now have angry and scared looks.

"You've done well to last this long," Klaus said with a smirk. "But I can't let you leave, it's be fun fellas but you have to die now"
