The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 1372: God Of War Body

Chapter 1372: God Of War Body

Klaus took a couple of deep breaths before closing his eyes again. He muttered a few words, then, from the technique manual hovering before him, thousands of runes appeared and filled the air.

He started learning them the next second.

As Ares said, the faster he learns the technique, the better for him. If the heavens truly need his help, there is a big chance that whoever is threatening them is even more monstrous than Klaus.

So, growing stronger and making sure his threat level increases are the only ways he can rise to the occasion when the time comes.

So he remained seated, comprehending the first form of the God of War Art. The runes flew one by one and merged with his body.

Several hours passed, but he remained seated. Eventually, the air around him started to change. It was subtle at first, but it slowly became chaotic.

[The master should take this outside, else he risks destroying the pagoda.]

Klaus nodded and teleported outside the pagoda. Although he was still within the Inheritance Tower, he was now free of the pagoda. The moment he appeared outside, a terrifying energy exploded from his body.

At once, his body was filled with so much power that Klaus couldn’t even make sense of it. He stood up, eyes still closed, and walked back several meters. After making sure nothing around him would be affected, he snapped them open.

The air around him stirred, then from beneath him, a golden silhouette of him, clad in battle armour, rose up, towering over him.

At once, Klaus became a dwarf before this manifestation. It had two pairs of arms and a third eye on its forehead.

Looking closely, this body manifestation was denser than many others, including Anna’s Ice Queen Manifestation.

This suggested there was more to the technique than he knew. But even so, he was still in shock, simply because as he stood there, with the technique activated, he couldn’t feel any limit to his strength.

It felt like he had so much power that he could use it just anyhow, without a measure of what and how much he could do.

But he could also feel the pressure on his body just from having his God of War body manifestation active. But that wouldn’t be a problem if he could win his fights long before the technique took a toll on his body.

At the moment, he could feel that keeping the god of war’s body active for hours isn’t a problem. As long as he isn’t using it, the toll on his body isn’t that much.

Klaus turned and looked at the silhouette standing over 13 meters tall. “Still too short compared to the final height of thousands of meters.”

From the technique, he learned that as his comprehension deepened, so would the height, and further developments would appear.

The hands would keep coming until he had the complete six pairs. For now, he has only two pairs, which are just too small for his liking. But even with that, he can go ahead and use four different weapons.

That is good enough. But Klaus is an overachiever, so he has his own plans and modifications he would work on.

However, for now, looking at the colossal silhouette standing, he feels he has taken a step toward becoming who he is meant to be.

[Congratulations to the master for learning the God of War Art. This is the first form of ’God of War Body’. All the master needs to do is enhance his understanding of the technique and master how to use it in combat.]

“I know, Icon. I already have some plans in mind. But before that, why don’t we address the third eye on the forehead?” Klaus pointed at the third vertical eye on the forehead of his God of War manifestation.

The manifestation he saw when he met Ares had no third eye. So this means this modification came from him, and as such, he just cannot make sense of it.

[I believe the eye has something to do with the spirit master aspect of your class. The master learned this technique through the Weapons Overlord class, so the eye was tied to the spirit master aspect. There is more to your class we don’t know, but this I am certain of.]

Since his understanding of the technique is still too limited, he doesn’t yet have a deeper understanding of how it works. But Klaus would soon, since he would be mastering it to some extent before going out.

His wives wanted him to go back, but he told them he had some stuff to handle first. It wasn’t that they were afraid his staying too long would jeopardise his plans. It was more than they wanted him to grow stronger, much faster, so that any danger he faces could be handled easily.

Of course, now that they know he has many bodies, they know he can visit whenever he wants without worrying about anything.

“I will try to merge it with my body first before continuing with whatever I came here to do.” Klaus sat down in a lotus posture and began to understand the technique.

Aside from merely having a colossal body that can wield many weapons, he can also merge the silhouette with his body, thereby transforming his main body into the God of War’s body.

If he can achieve that, then he would have a giant God of War body and a miniature God of War body. It is the best he could ever ask for.

So with his Hivemind activated, he started comprehending all he could while making sure he also made sense of the third eye. He is multitasking, which says a lot about his character.

In no time, three days passed, but he made no progress. However, he was getting close, as evidenced by how much the colossal body had shrunk.

Three more days later, he finally made progress. The giant God of War’s body merged with his body, and he manifested two more pairs of arms, making it six hands he could use to wield his weapons.

But it went a bit beyond that. Instead of attaching to his body, the hands hovered near it, giving him greater flexibility and control.

Klaus stood up, wearing a grin. He walked forward, and then with a sudden command, weapons appeared in all six hands. His scythe (Bloodwork) appeared in his right hand, with a short sword appearing in his left.

Then, in the two hands on his right, a spear and a mace appeared.

In the two hands on his left, a whip and a crossbow appeared. Klaus’s smile widened as he moved his arms, making them move even further away from his body.

“Just like a spirit master, but instead of controlling the weapons with my mind, I can use my body. This would make it easy to win close combat. When it is time for long-range battles, I will use the spirit master aspect.”

Klaus moved his body around for a few minutes before deactivating the hands. “I need to deepen my knowledge. Gaining at least 30% mastery before going on the mission Lord Victor gave me would go a long way.”

He sat down and, for two more days, strengthened his mastery. But with time moving much faster than he would have loved, he knew he had to focus on other stuff.
