The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Klaus never expected to be handed a powerful technique like the one his father-in-law had given him.

First of all, he never expected people of Earth to have such an advanced technique that, even in his many lives, he had yet to truly find a sword aura technique as impressive as this one.

Sword cultivation was something Klaus knew he had done in his third incarnation as the Asura god.

So, while he didn’t know how that life went, he had a deep-seated feeling within him that this technique in his hand was the real deal.

He could already see the potential in the skill, and as someone who valued power, he was genuinely happy to have received it.

The only question on his mind now was how any of this was possible.

Walking the sword path for as long as he had known depended on many things.

There was the concept of understanding how to use the sword without cutting oneself. That part sounded easy, but it was the foundation of every swordsman.

It was the stage at which they started to build the foundation on which their future progress would depend. Even so, there was no denying that, aside from that, some aspects were also critical in understanding the sword path.

One of them was the sword aura.

This unique concept involved imbuing the sword with a potent energy that enhanced its strike. It was the one thing every swordsman would want to possess.

Klaus had already encountered many swordsmen who employed this concept. But it went beyond that.

It went beyond merely using it to lace the sword. If anything, it could be used for far more than that, depending on one’s understanding of the sword.

But understanding something so dangerous came with some complications, and one of them was learning how to improve it.

Many swordsmen spend thousands of years training to master the Sword Aura, but only a few have succeeded.

Understanding is critical.

However, not only does a family that hadn’t had a connection to spiritual qi until 54 years ago possess a sword aura technique, but this technique is one that every swordsman would kill to have.

He looked at the slab of stone metal in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Thank you, father-in-law. I will be sure to learn and show the brilliance of this technique. Your family’s inheritance will become a beacon of hope one of these days.”

Ryo and Kenji nodded.

Hearing Klaus’s words was enough to let them know things would soon become what their great-grandfathers had envisioned for the ‘Furious Sword Aura’ technique.

Klaus stored away the technique and took out the cauldron, making it float in his hands. He had reduced the size to that of an adult head, so it wasn’t too difficult to manage.

Klaus then took out two orbs of water and wrapped an ice shell around them.

“This is pure Lightning Essence water. Drinking it will, first of all, awaken a lightning element within you, and based on the potency of this liquid, it will strengthen it further.

Aside from that, it will purify your body by removing all impurities, which will set you up for what I have in mind next.

This is my gift to you two. I will be leaving in three days, so by then you should have absorbed it.

Then I will hand you the main gift, which, if you have paid attention to Aoi and the rest of my ladies, you would have sensed the strength emitting from them.

Please note that there are conditions, and if you are not comfortable with them, the main gift may not be suitable for you.

But for now, use this essence liquid, and when everything is set and done, we will continue with the rest.”

Klaus gave them the frozen tribulation water.

His friends had already used it to strengthen themselves with a secret technique Klaus gave them. Instead of awakening the lightning element, they grew stronger, and their other elements were also enhanced.

However, his in-laws were much weaker than his friends, so giving them a lightning element was one way to kick-start their journey.

He planned to turn all his in-laws into powerful warriors by the time his vacation was over, so starting with his father-in-law from the Hiroshi Great Family was a good start.

As expected, the two men before him were pleased to receive something that could enhance their strength.

After a few more talks, and finally Ryo making Klaus aware that the only reason he hadn’t already severed his head was because Aoi begged him, the meeting ended.

Klaus only laughed as he moved back to the mansion to spend time with his mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.

He knew Aoi had indeed gone to his father before dinner, but it wasn’t to beg him not to cut off Klaus’s head; it was to warn him that if he didn’t want to die, he should be on good terms with Klaus.

Naturally, Aoi was scared her husband would kill her father, knowing full well what a jerk her father could be sometimes. In the end, however, that didn’t happen, and the meeting was a resounding success.

Watching him leave, Ryo and Kenji stood in silence for a few more minutes before Kenji spoke. “Speaking to him felt like speaking to my ancestor. I don’t know why i felt that way, but I have already made up my mind: whatever he is selling, I won’t hesitate to buy.”

Ryo smiled, knowing full well he wouldn’t hesitate to accept whatever conditions Klaus’s help demanded. Ultimately, becoming strong in this apocalyptic world was something they all desired.

“Aoi has really found herself a good husband. If only those two trouble-making sisters would also find someone even half-decent as Klaus,” Ryo laughed, and his brother Kenji was the same.

“You heard them, they are Amazonians, so you will only be having one son-in-law, Ryo. But that’s good, because, unlike you, I don’t even have one daughter.

Of course, if I did, I would have long pushed her in Klaus’s way. Already having 23 wives means more won’t make a difference.” His laughter echoed in the mountaintop.

Ryo looked at his brother and just shook his head. “That lady you’ve been messing around with back during your university days in America has a daughter.

Perhaps you should go see her soon,” Ryo smirked and walked away, leaving Kenji to wonder if his brother was messing with him or not.
