THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSE

Loewe looked at Klaus and then at his friends. She turned toward the direction where Ko's mushed head could be seen. Hanna was elated, knowing that she would soon have a companion if things went their way. Of course, like everyone else, she was shocked. Daniel had killed a Tier 9 beast-a feat she believed was beyond her capabilities. Yet, in that moment, she felt as though anything was possible. This sense of possibility thrilled her, especially at the thought of gaining a companion she could coordinate with.

If she could create a moment like the one Anna had orchestrated for Daniel, she could inflict far more damage on the battlefield. "How can I be sure you're not just using me and will toss me aside in the end?" Loewe asked, his narrowed eyes fixed on Klaus. "I've been sentient since I reached the 7th stage, and I know all too well what humans are capable of." "There's no need to be afraid or suspicious," Klaus replied calmly. "You're a Peak Tier 8 beast, and I can see you want to break through and fully transform-unlike the brute my friend just killed.

"You want to achieve a complete human form, and for that, I can promise you this: if you form a contract with my sister, I will personally ensure you reach Tier 9 within three months. On top of that, I'll teach you a method to attain a near-perfect human body once you break through," Klaus said, his expression deadly serious. Inwardly, Klaus was conversing with the senior. Klaus asked. [Are you doubting me, brat?] the senior retorted.
