The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1410: Killing Rask

The pair of hammers lifted skyward over his head, with metal essence raging chaotically around him, manifesting a spectral silhouette of a colossal titan looming behind his enormous body.

Right then, the entire environment seemed infused with a metallic law, which Klaus sensed yet was unable to control.

After all, he had selected solely the Flame Element for his elemental affinity in this identity, thus even as an elemental overlord, he couldn't wield the metal law on this occasion.

The atmosphere quivered while fissures extended over the arena's surface under the immense pressure of his fall. Well before contact with the ground, the fortified floor began to endure the burden.

Rask swung the dual hammers downward at frightening velocity, targeting Klaus's head precisely, mirroring his actions against all previous foes.

That clash by itself could have pulverized a Peak Early Immortal into mush.

Yet, precisely when the hammers came down, Klaus disappeared.

In one instant, he stood in place; in the next, he vanished. All that lingered was the irritating grin on his visage, which Rask still perceived despite his absence.

A thunderous blast echoed as the hammers smashed into the arena floor in his stead, demolishing the strengthened layer and hurling stone shards everywhere.

A huge pit emerged right where Klaus had positioned himself mere moments before.

Gasps resounded across the arena while viewers bent ahead in astonishment. The devastation reached an unparalleled intensity.

Since Rask's jump into the sky and activation of his ability, numerous observers anticipated Blood Sword's immediate defeat, but he evaded at the crucial instant.

Far overhead, a crimson flash materialized. Klaus materialized in the air, pulling back the string of the Flame Eater Bow simultaneously.

Flames twisted around the arrow taking shape in his grasp, condensing into a compact, fiery lance pointed straight at Rask Vorn underneath.

This fight served as his method to assess the progress of his four flame spirits.

A fourth of the arrow turned white, revealing the infusion of the Soul Fury Flame. An additional section displayed an orange blaze, signifying the Chaotic Nirvana Flame.

The arrow's point gleamed red, denoting the Void Incineration Flame, whereas the final segment was black, evidently incorporating the Primordial Desolation Flame as well.

Though he opted against summoning Fury, Nirvana, Void, and Qilin in their human or animal shapes for this confrontation, he elected to utilize their strength in his initial shot.

As soon as Rask felt the arrow target him, a shiver ran down his spine, prompting him to ignite his metal Qi and three Immortal Rings.

Immediately, his complexion shifted from pale brown to dark brown.

"Let’s see if that is enough to stop you."

He loosed the arrow, which soared forward, reaching Rask in a flash.

Rask bellowed and positioned his hammers crossed before him, with metal Qi erupting as the spectral titan at his back grew more solid.

The metallic law under his command compressed into multiple strata of rigid essence, creating a protective barrier over his steel-hardened skin.

The arrow impacted forcefully.

A booming explosion burst on impact, with flames bursting in a twisting tempest that engulfed Rask's huge form entirely.

The arena's surface under him fractured more, fissures propagating in all directions while the intense heat compelled the toughened substance to groan in strain.

The joint assault from the four flames turned out far more perilous than anticipated.

For a fleeting moment, only fire was visible.

This was a clash of fire against metal, and the outcome revealed everything.

The quartet of flames collided with the metal barrier, each probing its boundaries. As Rask had elevated his guard and bolstered it using three Immortal Rings, he believed it robust.

The Soul Fury Flame penetrated his mind, delving profoundly into the spirit. The Chaotic Nirvana Flame intensified the scorching and introduced greater disorder.

The Void Incineration Flame devoured the structure of his metal Qi, while the Primordial Desolation Flame corroded all it contacted.

No superior alliance exists than these four. They ensured Rask couldn't enjoy the smooth victories of before. Now, he lacked the opportunity to dominate every fight.

A primal bellow erupted from the blaze as Rask drove his feet further into the earth, securing his stance.

Veins protruded on his neck while fissures started appearing on his toughened hide, slender cracks extending from the strike point between his intersected hammers.

His shield endured briefly, then collapsed, allowing the majority of the assault to hit his metallic epidermis.

Then, through a ferocious burst of metal essence, the fires were scattered, exposing Rask upright—his hammers quivering, skin scorched in spots, and a slender blood stream trickling from his lip's edge.

"Looks like you are not that metallic after all."

Rather than awaiting Rask's assault, Klaus invoked a technique, summoning three sets of flame wings on his back. With a flap, he took to the skies, beyond Rask's grasp.

"I have already determined your weakness, buddy. On the ground, you are a god. However, up here, unless you have space law that allows you to seal space and prevent flight, you are at my mercy.

So allow me to show you what I can do from up here."

The following instant, the sky illuminated with hundreds of arrows cascading upon Rask.

A key factor making Icon Klaus's supreme asset is her capacity to scrutinize nearly anyone, pinpoint vulnerabilities, and capitalize on them.

In the Planet Awakening phase, while in combat mode, she assisted Klaus in multiple manners. Yet, in standard mode, she could still discern the defective element in Rask's abilities.

At present, with Klaus elevated and inaccessible, Rask was forced into a defensive posture.

Sadly for him, Klaus possessed ample energy to annihilate him comprehensively.

Each arrow brimmed with abundant flame Qi. Without invoking the Flame Law, any single arrow sufficed to wreck his adversary.

"According to science, metal becomes malleable when heated to a certain degree. Since we have already started the heating process, I wonder how long it will take for you to melt."

Throughout the arena, spectators continued to roar in excitement as successive arrows poured onto the unfortunate giant, whose defect Klaus had uncovered.

Previously, he relied on his superior might to subdue rivals.

But today, he encountered an individual who, beyond his combat expertise, appeared to possess an acute perception transcending normal vision.

Incorporating Icon enhanced his prowess further. Thus, ultimately, following relentless arrow strikes, the brute could endure no longer. He fell to his knees, panting heavily.

His armaments rested on the soil, as his form was peppered with gruesome wounds one after another.

A single final arrow would send him to his demise.

Yet, Klaus refrained. Rather than launching another arrow, he stowed his bow and approached the twin hammers, raising them with ease from the earth.

All observers suspended their breathing, observing Klaus's intended action.

Their anticipation endured just a minute until Klaus vaulted skyward and plummeted in a booming assault.

The hammers approached from opposite sides, crushing Rask's skull between them into a mess.
