The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 579

Chapter 579: Power of the Paragon Mark

[A few seconds before Nadia and Klaus’s mom were attacked]

Queenie had just woken up from a dream about her past self as the Asura Queenie. She looked beside her, as she did every morning, but Klaus wasn’t there. Feeling restless, she decided to go for a swim.

In the inner section, Lucy had just finished her practice session and entered a hot tub. Like her sisters, she was missing Klaus terribly.

Meanwhile, in Ross City, inside Klaus’s training room, Oheme was immersed in her cultivation. Klaus had instructed her to reach Level 2 before his return, so she was diligently working to achieve that goal.

Suddenly, a painful scream from Miriam pierced their minds, causing all three ladies to cough up mouthfuls of blood.

In that instant, their souls were struck by an attack so powerful it left them pale. A few seconds later, they heard Miriam’s voice in their heads…

“S-Sisters…”

That was all they needed to hear before they immediately used teleportation to appear at the tribulation ground.

When they arrived, Miriam lay on the ground, dying.

Nadia stood frozen in place while the twins, alongside Klaus’s mother, remained in the Shadow Realm. They were carefully moving her through the shadows, sensing the danger that lingered outside.

“What happened?” Queenie asked, her divine sense sweeping across the entire area. Unfortunately, the four Transcendents who had attacked were already gone.

The one who had attacked Kofi had vanished as well.

Miriam couldn’t talk, but they could tell what had happened from the powerful soul energy in the space. Lucy went to support Nadia, who was also bleeding from her nose.

She had also been struck, but it was just a small shockwave…

Queenie picked up Miriam in a princess carry, and the next second, she vanished. A moment later, the twins appeared with Klaus’s mom beside the dying butler.

Klaus’s mom, though just a master stage expert, quickly went to check on him. She wasn’t an idiot; she knew what had happened, so she didn’t ask any foolish questions.

“Sister Ohema, please take Nadia back. I have to attend to Kofi,” Ohema nodded and took Nadia, who had finally passed out.

She opened a space rift, and soon, she was in Ross City, where Queenie set Miriam down and began channeling her energy into her.

The three ladies said nothing out loud most of the time, but they were talking and panicking through the telepathic connection between them.

Back on the tribulation ground, Lucy used the healing factor of her wood element to create a miniature garden around Kofi and then coated him in ice.

“Mother, what happened?” she finally asked, looking at her teary mother-in-law, Klaus’s mother…

“Will they be alright?” Instead of answering, Klaus’s mom asked her own question, clenching her fists. If one didn’t know better, they might think she was an angel of death, judging by the bloodthirsty look in her eyes.

“I don’t know, but Kofi won’t die. I am using my soul strength and all my energy to heal him, and from the attack, his heart hasn’t sustained much damage, so he will live. But for Sister Miriam…” Lucy wiped a tear from her face.

“I—I don’t know.”

She could feel it—the Paragon Mark was sapping her soul strength, and through the connection, she could tell it was going to Miriam.

If only she knew the Paragon Mark was the only thing keeping Miriam alive at the moment. The moment all of the three ladies ran out of soul strength, she would die.

Klaus’s mom hugged Lucy, who started shedding tears as she felt the pain Miriam was going through, even in her unconscious state.

The pain wasn’t from the flesh; it came deep from the soul.

And it wasn’t just her who was crying—the twins were the same. To them, Miriam and everyone in Klaus’s family were their family, so they were deeply saddened at the moment.

A minute later, Ohema appeared and transported Kofi away using the power of the void. She was not yet a Void Stage expert, but as a Level 8 Ascendant, she could use it to a certain extent.

They left and returned to the house, where everyone gathered to support Miriam in her final moments. Lucy was already trying to link up with Klaus, but as had been the case for months now, she received no reply.

Meanwhile, back in the sect, Hanna, who was cultivating in her room, suddenly opened her eyes and ran out heading toward Anna’s apartment.

“Anna, we have to leave! Something bad happened back home,” Hanna said before running off to Lily’s place and repeating everything to all of them.

While this was happening, Old Lu, who was keeping an eye on Nari, noticed something was wrong and approached them.

Hanna told him that something bad had happened back home. She gave no explanation, and Old Lu asked for none. Surprisingly, he led them to his private jet, which took them back to Ross City in under two hours.

When they arrived, they saw Miriam nearly at death’s door, Kofi in a comatose state, and Nadia pale and unconscious.

The sight filled everyone with sadness, even Old Lu, who immediately began using a certain Monk healing technique to support Queenie in recovering her soul strength much faster so she could keep giving it back to Miriam.

Everyone was furious, but they stayed close, knowing anything could happen.

And something did.

Exactly three hours after the attack, the Duncan Legacy Family and the three great clans allied with them made a statement on the internet that immediately got everyone talking.

Danny was the first to discover the posts, which were quickly made known to everyone. Ohema, who was supporting her sister, became so angry that she wanted to go after them.

Thankfully, the weakest among them, Klaus’s mom, calmed her down, as she was doing so for every last one of them, currently ensuring Miriam wasn’t left alone.

The Paragon Mark was working, and after five hours, Lucy, Queenie, and Ohema became pale.

Thankfully, Lulu, who is also a Spirit Master and has powerful soul strength, chipped in and was doing everything she could to save her sister. It was the least she could do for one of Klaus’s women—his second, in fact.

Aoi, Lulu, the twins, Anna, and every last one of Klaus’s friends were doing everything to keep Miriam alive. Right now, the only person on their mind who could do something was Klaus, but he was nowhere to be found.

He was still away on a mission and hadn’t returned yet…

The post spread everywhere, making some people angry and others happy. Surprisingly, one of the upset individuals was KKKickinIt, who was at that moment bashing the Legacy Families and the great clans.

Seven hours later, everyone was exhausted, but they refused to stop. This was especially true for Queenie, who was doing everything possible to save not only her husband’s second wife but also her sworn sister.

No matter what, she wouldn’t stop.

She was as pale as paper, and anyone could tell that aside from trying to save Miriam, she was dealing with something deeply troubling.

Suddenly, Lucy felt the connection build between her and Klaus, compelling her to speak. Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

“K-Klaus, please come… Sister Miriam is dying.”

The next second, Klaus appeared in the room, shocking everyone. His give fell on the pale, aging Miriam, and his fist clenched.
