The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The voice was calm and chanting, like a thousand birds harmonizing in perfect unison. Klaus, slightly exhausted from the battle with the Zombie Captains and Geral, was immediately drawn to the sound.

Turning a, he saw two wom whose beauty could topple the heavs and shatter the earth with just a smile. Klaus had always considered his mother the most beautiful woman he had ever se, but the sight of these two made him raise an eyebrow in awe.

Asha, though slightly less striking than the Nia, still possessed an allure that made her stand out. Her long black hair cascaded down her waist like a flowing waterfall, smooth and glossy. Her high cheekbones and finely sculpted jawline framed her face perfectly, giving her an air of elegance.

Her ocean-blue eyes held a depth that could pull anyone in, and her lips were so captivating that any man would find them hard to resist.

Her slder legs moved with a grace that drew atttion, while her curvy hips swayed with every step, commanding praise. But what truly caught Klaus's eye was her chest area, which was undiably impressive. Her pale, jade-like skin seemed to glow softly, illuminating her presce and adding to her chanting beauty.

Nia, walking beside Asha, is ev more stunning. She has long, blonde hair that cascades down her back like a river of moonlight. Her skin is flawless, with a soft, gold glow that seems to shine from within her very soul. Her eyes are a deep, vibrant gre as if they were carved from the purest emeralds. They sparkle with a light that can captivate anyone who looks into them.

Her lips are full and rosy, with a natural curve that makes her smile chanting. Every step she takes is graceful, and her slder legs move with elegance.

Klaus, who hadn't se many beauties in his life, was particularly captivated by these two. However. just as he found himself getting drawn into their allure, a burning ssation on his back snapped him back to reality.

"This little brother is Klaus. May I know who these lovely fairies are?" Klaus asked, using the question as an excuse to shake off the charm that the two wom possessed. Ev Anna and the others, standing not far away, had be tranced by the two wom. It was only after Klaus spoke that they also snapped back to their sses.

"Hehe, no need to be so courteous. I am Nia, and this is my little sister, Asha," Nia said with a warm smile.

"Pleasure to meet you both, fairies. The heavs must truly be looking favorably upon me, sding two immortal fairies to wash away my stress after such a hectic battle," Klaus replied with a calm, innoct gaze.

Anna and the rest were stunned by his remark. Nia and Asha exchanged amused glances before bursting into resounding laughter.

"You're interesting. For a momt, I almost thought you were a death god. Who would've guessed you have such a cute side?" Asha said, She suddly moved with unnatural speed and appeared right in front of Klaus. Klaus was startled but didn't show it. Instead, he stood there with a subtle smile on his lips.

"Little brother Klaus, what's happing to your hair?" Asha suddly asked. Klaus who expected a rather mischievous behavior from the you lady was rather tak aback by her question.

"What do you mean?" Klaus asked, puzzled. In response, Asha took out a small mirror and handed it to him. Wh Klaus looked at his reflection, he gasped. Half of his hair had turned , and he could see more strands gradually losing their color visibly.

"Wh did this happ?" Klaus wondered aloud. He was certain that wh he had left home a day ago, his hair had be completely black. If there had be any hairs, his mother would have mtioned it. The fact that she hadn't said anything meant that this change had only started after he tered the forest.

"No need to be startled; this isn't a bad thing. If I'm not wrong, this might be a result of you undergoing some form of change. You're close to ascding, which means you'll undergo your first evolution. It seems your hair has already started changing as part of that process," Nia explained.

"Evolution?" Klaus arched an eyebrow, puzzled. In all the lectures he'd be fortunate ough to overhear, he had never countered the concept of evolution. This was the first time he had heard about it. Seeing his confusion, Nia smiled and began to explain.

"Wh the spiritual ergy descded, it awaked dormant ges within us that carry what experts call the Mutation effect. From what we know, humans and animals have always had the pottial to evolve, but we never had the push or the right vironmt to take that final step.

However, wh the ergy descded, those mutated ges awaked, triggering changes in all humans and animals. As those ges activate, the human body must adapt. At first, this wasn't noticed, but as people began ascding to higher levels, it became clear that, aside from gaining superhuman abilities and strgth, other changes also began to take effect.

Your eyesight, hearing, sse of smell, and ev your ability to sse your surings will start to change. But that's not all—changes in physical appearance, such as increased handsomess or beauty, also start to manifest. The higher you rise in ranks, the more pronounced these changes become. So, the fact that your hair is changing color means you are evolving.

It's just that this evolution is happing rather suddly and is unheard of at your currt stage. You hav't ascded yet, but at this rate, wh you do, you'll become ev more handsome. Hehe, I've never se a -haired youth before; this will be my first time," Nia finished with a light, chanting laugh, her tone carefree and amused.

"Wh you put it that way, th I guess there's nothing to worry about. I was just tak aback for a second," Klaus sighed, visibly relieved that nothing bad was happing to him.

"May I know where these two Fairy sisters are from?" Klaus asked, curious about the origins of these two mysterious wom. They seemed fridly ough, and he figured it wouldn't hurt to learn more about them.

"Well, we're not from a here. We just tered this forest to gain some experice, and we happed to witness your battle," Asha was quick to reply. Her tone carried a hint of pride as if she wanted to show her older sister that she wasn't as inexpericed as she might seem.

In truth, these two were wandering the earth, searching for their own paths in a world turned upside down by the apocalypse.

In this new world, the more years spt cultivating, the more experice humans continued to gain. Younger warriors like Asha and Nia were couraged not to confine themselves but to spread their wings, seek out differt perspectives, and find their own ways before advancing in their cultivation.

Hearing their response, Klaus nodded thoughtfully. It made sse to him. Everyone had their own path to walk. He knew these two could have interved earlier, perhaps saving more people during the initial stages of the battle, but he also understood that doing so might have unforese consequces.

"And what about you?" Asha asked, her eyes bright with curiosity. She seemed eager to learn more about him, maybe ev searching for a clue to something deeper.

"Ross City," Klaus answered with a smile. Anna, who was standing a few meters away, was surprised by his response. She immediately recalled Klaus telling her they were closer than she thought wh he saved her from Matin Guan just a few days ago.

Mark and the others standing beside Anna exchanged glances, their eyes settling on her shocked expression. It was clear she hadn't known this about Klaus.

"Good to know," Asha replied with a smile, quickly shifting the conversation. "About the Zombie stones—do you happ to want to sell them? We really need them," she added, her voice taking on a playful tone as she pouted slightly.

Klaus immediately ssed that Asha was trying to charm him, but there was something about her cute face that made it hard for him to resist. He couldn't help but smile, ev though he knew she was up to something.

"I don't mind selling them, but I'm not sure about the market price. I've already discussed with someone about bringing in a stock soon, so it might be a bit tricky for me to sell them right now," Klaus explained, trying to balance honesty with caution.

"It's fine," Nia said as she stepped forward with a gtle smile. "We know the market price, and you don't have to worry—we won't cheat you or anything."

"Th I'll have to trust you," Klaus said, smiling as he retrieved the Zombie stones from his pack. He placed six stones in front of them: one medium-grade stone from a Tier 3 Zombie Captain, four high-grade stones from Tier 3 Zombies, and one high-grade stone from a Tier 4 Zombie geral.

The momt the stones appeared, Asha's eyes lit up with excitemt. "Can Brother Klaus add some of the White Zombie stones? We will buy them for t times the market price. No, twty times the market price," Nia quickly added, her gaze intse as she looked at the stones.

Klaus was tak aback by their eagerness. But th, a voice that sounded like his own echoed in his mind, 'This is your chance to buy a house Klaus, don't let some pretty face charm you.' A small smile formed on his lips as he reached for his space ring. In an instant, 300 froz heads materialized before him.

"Ladies, let's talk business," Klaus muttered, snapping his fingers. The heads shattered, revealing small, beautiful White stones with intricate marks on them.

The sight of the White Zombie stones caused both Asha and Nia to gasp in awe. Klaus could see the desire in their eyes, and he knew he had the upper hand.
