The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The Savage Kingdom is vast...

It has towering buildings...

Fifty-four years ago, it was an industrial site owned by some of the wealthiest business moguls of Earth. The location was an oil refinery in its heyday. It was one of the largest oil refineries in the world at the time.

However, it has now become a kingdom for savages, turning it into a place no mundane dare step in.

The Zombies look horrifying... an amalgamation of flesh and twisted mutations that would horrify anyone. And they numbered in the thousands.

Klaus and his team are on their way to face these monsters, and in their hearts, they all have their hopes up, knowing that after today, the Savage Kingdom will be no more, and humans can finally spread out and use the vast land these zombies occupied for something better.

But would that be simple... Would they really have it easy?

The answer is hidden beneath the ground, currently seated on a large red throne made of bones. His hair is red, his skin is pale white, and his eyes are red. Looking at his fine muscles and the perfect red armor covering his body, it wouldn't be obvious that he is prepared for battle.

The Savage King looks handsome, and well, he looks more like a vampire than even the zombie vampires.

The irony in that...

Seated on the ground, a few meters from him, is a lady wearing a mask. It is not certain if she is also a zombie, but she holds six pieces of dice in her hand and is muttering some strange words.

A few minutes later, she threw the dice on the ground... three turned to the six face, and the other three turned to the one face of the dice.

"Well... are you going to tell me the outcome, or should I rip it out of your head?" the Savage King asked, looking coldly at the lady.

"I have both good news and bad news, my king."

"Go ahead,"

"The good news is, the humans have mobilized all their strength to come against you. The bad news, however, is that they are bringing everything they have against you, and judging by the outcome, things don't look good for you... also."

"Speak... I don't suppose you want me inside your head..."

"...also, I can't get a good read on them. It's like something beyond my understanding is preventing me from getting a clear read on them." The lady shuddered as she said that.

She knew the Kind of person she was dealing with, so saying something that doesn't seem like it will favour him isn't something he wants to hear.

The Savage King looked at her for a few seconds and then scoffed.

"Come out." The moment he called out, five people walked through a hidden door. They each had red skin and bald heads. Each was a Peak Void stage expert, and looking at their aura, it was clear they were dangerous.

"You five should use the hidden path through the Deadlands to get to the human settlement. Make sure you leave only when millions are dead, and bring as many bodies as you can..."

The five nodded, and then they vanished from the room. When they left, the Savage King looked at his oracle and smirked. He stood up and walked toward her...

"I bet you didn't include them in your calculation... anyways, be sure to watch how I lay waste to the human scum that threaten my kingdom.

Just don't disappoint me...do your job well..."

After saying that, he vanished and appeared in the air above his kingdom. "Everybody, be ready... we have visitors."

Deep underground, the oracle removed her mask, revealing the face of a human lady. She was not a zombie, but a human with beautiful features...

"But I did include them in the calculation...All five of them," she said, taking a deep sigh, and also vanished, appearing somewhere in the city. She wouldn't be joining the battle; however, she was there to do something more important...

She was there to control the battlefield for the zombies. The Savage King may be powerful, but his oracle was terrifying, and while Klaus didn't know it yet, he would be facing his first adversary in the person of a level three Ascendant...

She looked into the distance and then she sighed again..."Even I can't see past today...Just who is coming?"

Klaus and his team appeared a couple of meters away from the Savage Kingdom, only to face thousands of zombies waiting for them.

The sight was horrifying, to say the least, and looking at the formation they stood in, the savagery alone wasn't enough to describe them.

They were a menace and the true definition of horror. Most were towering, some had turned into rotten flesh, and decaying bodies.

Unlike the clean and neat zombie vampires Klaus and Queenie saw in Vampire City, these ones were just too horrifying and an eyesore.

"Looks like they knew we were coming," Queenie, who was walking in the front with Klaus, said, looking at the thousands of zombies they were about to face.

"It doesn't really matter now, does it?" Klaus smiled. "We are here already, so we might as well get the party started."

Queenie smiled too.

"So the humans couldn't hide anymore and decided to come and face us now... How unexpected," The Savage King appeared in front of his army and spoke with a smirk.

A sword was sheathed behind him now, and in his hand was a flute. He was clad in red armor, just like how the Vampire Zombies dress.

Klaus looked at his demeanor and smiled. "Something told me you would be dying today. At first, I didn't believe it until I saw your face... You truly look like someone about to die."

"You say that, but look behind me and look behind you... I like my odds." The zombies started growling. Up in the air, Klaus spotted 73 Void stage zombies exuding a sinister aura.

"I must give it to you. You have the numbers, but I have the quality, so what do you say... ready to do battle?"

Right when Klaus spoke the words, he felt an innate domain spread over him and cover his team. Then a haunting tune started playing in their ears, a melody that would drive anyone mad.

The Zombie King was playing his flute...creating a melody aimed at taking hold of the mind of all those within the innate domain.

Klaus felt it, and so did his team.

Naturally, it shook most of his friends. However, it lasted for just a few seconds, as the next moment, Klaus raised his hand and snapped his finger.

The Savage King's eyes widened, and blood fell from the corner of his lips. The flute fell from his hands and landed with a gentle thud...

"Better draw your sword, Zombie...innate domains don't work on me... and they are all connected to me."

Klaus turned to Veylor...

"Veylor, greet them for me."

The Doom Guard smiled and drew his bow. "With pleasure."
