Chapter 12 of "The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse" starts revealing the story: Klaus stood with his sword firmly in his grip, his eyes locked on the direction... Don’t miss it!

Klaus stood with his sword firmly in his grip, his eyes locked on the direction the voice had come from. In an instant, a figure appeared, wielding a spear and radiating a macing aura. The chilling cold that swept over Klaus made him shiver. He glared at the young man, who stood slightly over six feet tall. The man's gaze flitted from Anna Ross to Klaus, and th to the body of the Tier 3 monster lying on the g. Klaus's sharp sses caught a flicker of fear in the man's otherwise icy expression wh he saw the monster's corpse. "Slut, hand over the flower, and accept your death," the man snarled, his voice dripping with hostility. "Do you think you can just take something that belongs to my Guan Family?" Anna Ross's voice was sweet but trembled slightly as she responded, "Matin, don't push your luck. My team was the first to spot the flower. We fought an tire pack of wolves to get it. Why are you trying to steal it from us?" The Nine Life Yin Flower was no ordinary flower. It was incredibly rare and highly coveted, especially among female Awaked individuals. The flower riched their Yin essce, purified their bodies, and hanced their beauty. For the wealthy, it could be mixed with Mountain Dew to boost the affinity of those with rare constitutions. "Are you out of your mind?" Matin's voice grew louder, full of anger. "That flower is meant for the Guan Family. We've be tracking it for weeks. You have no right to it!" Anna's eyes narrowed as she defded herself. "We've already earned it through our own struggles. It's not like we just picked it up from the roadside. We fought hard to get it, and you can't just take it from us because you want it." Matin sneered, his anger evidt. "The Guan Family doesn't need to justify anything to you. Hand it over now, or face the consequces." Anna took a step back, her expression resolute. "I won't let you intimidate me into giving it up. The Nine Life Yin Flower belongs to my Ross Family. My team fought for it so don't ev think you can have it just because you want." Klaus watched the exchange with a calm look on his face. But from what he was seeing, he could tell the young man was in the wrong. He saw how Anna Ross was struggling from the Wolf which means she took something from it. This alone shows the young man is just trying to rob her. But he didn't say anything, he stood there looking at the two display their verbal conflict. "Hahaha, which team are you talking about?" Matin laughed coldly. "Those idiots all died at the hands of my team. The few who managed to escape are being hunted down as we speak. To be honest, you should just surrder and let me have my way with you. After that, I might consider letting you go." Anna's face paled, but she tried to maintain her composure. "You're a monster, Matin. How can you be so heartless? Those are people, you monster" Klaus's body shook, anger appearing in his eyes as he looked at Matin who had a perverted look on his face. Klaus didn't know why, but seeing that look made his own killing intt start to exude subconsciously. "Consider yourself lucky that I hav't decided to deal with you myself," Matin sneered. "I could easily take both you and your precious flower by force. But I'm giving you a chance to avoid a more gruesome fate." Anna took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. "I'd rather jump from a tall building into a pile of crap than let you lay your filthy hands on me." Matin's expression darked upon hearing her response, but he didn't respond immediately. Instead, he turned his cold gaze toward Klaus. "Brat, who do you think you are?" Matin's attacks grew more frzied, but Klaus remained composed, waiting for the perfect momt. He could see the desperation in Matin's movemts, which only made the fight more predictable. "Weak," Klaus muttered dismissively as he parried a spear stab from Matin. His movemts were precise and confidt. With a swift kick, Klaus struck Matin in the stomach, sding him crashing backward into the g. Matin groaned in pain, struggling to push himself up. His anger and humiliation were evidt as he glared at Klaus, trying to regain his composure. But Klaus's face remained a mask of calm arrogance. "Is that all you've got?" Klaus taunted, his voice dripping with disdain. "I expected more from someone who claims to be so powerful. Maybe you should reconsider what you said." Matin's eyes burned with fury. He lunged again, his spear thrusting towards Klaus with rewed aggression. "You think you're so tough? I'll show you just how wrong you are!" Klaus sidestepped the attack effortlessly, a cruel smile playing on his lips. "Oh, I'm not done yet. I'm just getting started." With a swift motion, Klaus spun a and delivered a series of precise strikes, each one aimed to test Matin's defses and wear him down. The speed and grace of his attacks seemed almost effortless, a stark contrast to Matin's frantic, angry thrusts. "Come on, show me what you've really got," Klaus mocked, his voice cold and unfeeling. "Or are you just going to flail a like a headless chick?" Matin's frustration grew with each missed attack, his face flushed with rage. He tried to launch another assault, but Klaus was always one step ahead. The spear's tips seemed to barely miss as Klaus moved with effortless agility, dodging and countering with ease. "You're quite the disappointmt," Klaus continued, his voice laced with a sinister edge. "I thought an heir of the Guan Family would have more to offer. But it looks like you're just another overhyped fool." Matin's breathing grew ragged, and he was clearly struggling to keep up. The more Klaus taunted him, the more erratic his attacks became. It was clear to Klaus that Matin was losing control, and that only made the fight easier. Anna Ross, who had be preparing to heal and possibly interve, watched Klaus with growing astonishmt. She could clearly see that Klaus was only a Level 5 Awaked, yet he was handling a Level 9 Ascded with what seemed like child's play. "Who is this young man?" she muttered in disbelief, but there was no one a to answer her. She continued to watch, captivated by the display. Matin's frustration was evidt as he realized that all his attacks were being easily defded by Klaus. He was unable to land a hit or use any of his skills effectively. His anger boiled over, and he snapped, "Just wait, scum. I'll hunt you down and your family and kill every last one of them" He began to retreat, his pride wounded and his frustration clear. Klaus's reltless defse and superior agility had tak a toll on him. Martin was ready to flee, knowing he had no chance against Klaus's skill and speed. "You shouldn't have said that," Klaus's voice grew cold, his eyes harding. "You see, I td to get overly protective wh it comes to my mother. Since you want to threat her, you leave me no choice but to kill you. In your next life, keep your threats to yourself." As Klaus prepared to chase Matin down, a chilling voice cut through the air. "Moon Slash." Matin's body wt rigid, his breath catching in his throat. From a height of three meters, he watched in horror as his own headless body stood froz in place.
