THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSE

Immediately after hearing the senior's words, Klaus placed his sword in his space ring, fearing he might act on the suggestion. He needed to calm his heart-and Nari-before making any decisions. To do that, he first had to understand what was happening. Gently, he buried Nari's head back on his shoulder. Queenie and Old Lu remained frozen in shock. This was the first time they had ever seen Nari affected by emotion. She was known to be incapable of such things, making the scene incomprehensible to them.

Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire Klaus turned to the one who could provide answers. He had always known Nari had issues, but he never imagined they were this severe. [Listen well, brat. This lady is one of the Three Great Calamities.] Klaus wasn't holding back anymore. [The Great Calamities are beings created by the universe to usher in a new phase-or, as most call it, a new generation.

You've heard of terms like "after the Primordial Era," "after the Chaos Era," or "after the Ice Age." These are all turning points in the universe's evolution. Each one came with immense devastation. Naturally, the forces driving these chaotic changes come from the Three Great Calamities. They are beings designed for destruction. Even the Paragons who lived before your time mostly avoided them. If you don't believe me, you'll come to understand as you uncover more about your past. They are similar to you, but they only act on impulse.

I couldn't determine her identity before, but just now, showing emotion, I manage to see her true nature.] [Very...] Klaus calmed himself down first, then gently began pacifying the calamity in his embrace. Slowly, Nari calmed down and returned to her previous self. It was an instantaneous change that made Klaus sigh in his heart. "You shouldn't try killing people you want to cry in their embrace," Klaus said, looking at the tear marks on her face. "Who was crying? I just felt like you needed a hug after you didn't die. Good thing you're alive.

Your friends are worried," Nari said with a neutral expression. [She can convey others' emotions but not her own. Beings made for destruction are not meant to express their own emotions.] The senior explained, making Klaus nod at his words. In fact, he never accepted all that emotionless nonsense-until today. "I am leaving for a few months, Nari; you have to take care of my friends while I am away," Klaus said to her, knowing somehow Nari seemed to listen to him. It was like she obeyed him in her own way.

Both Queenie and Old Lu seemed to notice it, considering they were the only two who knew of Nari's situation. "Huh? Where are you going?" she asked. "Some dungeon. But I'll be back before you know it." Nari nodded, but one could tell she was disappointed. "Don't worry. You can spend more time with Hanna and the others. Although they're in seclusion, they'll come out every few days to catch fresh air." "Okay. You should come back early, or don't say I didn't warn you." Klaus could only smile, knowing he had no idea what she might do.

Her emotions flared for a moment, and she had nearly killed him. "And sorry for trying to kill you," Nari said with a smile. "Tsk, as if you had a shot," Klaus said, stepping behind Queenie before delivering the remark. Truth be told, Nari had scared the hell out of him. After exchanging a few more goodbyes, Queenie sent Klaus to the inner section, a few clicks away from Lulu's apartment. Klaus didn't head over immediately. Instead, he found a quiet place and sat down. He took out an apple and began eating. [Ha. I figured as much. But you must know this: the three great Calamities are not benevolent beings. Sure, they may appear friendly for now, but the moment they awaken their true forms, things will change-and even I don't know how that will affect your current world. For now, I can only predict the total destruction of this world and everything it contains. Such is the path of the Calamities.] [There is indeed a way, but it's not something worth pursuing.]
