The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

On the last floor of the dungeon, two ladies could be seen sitting in a lotus posture, meditating. They were both beautiful, one with dark hair and the other with red hair.

Perhaps due to history, many wouldn't even recognize these two ladies, but I will reveal their identities to quench your curiosity.

These two ladies are two of the seven divine immortal beasts to have ever been born in this universe. Lol, just kidding.

There are more than seven divine immortal beasts. However, that doesn't mean these two ladies aren't special. In fact, forget about them being two of the seven divine beasts. These two are far more extraordinary.

They are the only two living Phantom Cats in existence. Yes, they are the Black Tail Immortal Phantom Cat and the Red Tail Immortal Phantom Cat.

Long ago, these two Phantom Cats terrorized countless starfields and galaxies due to their mischievous and unruly nature. However, millions of years ago, they suddenly vanished, and nobody had heard of them ever again.

Until now.

"It seems Master's world hasn't awakened yet, Lissa," the black-haired lady said. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

The red-haired lady opened her eyes and nodded. "It seems so. I guess we won't be missing out on the fun that's coming, then, Alida."

"Indeed. But this isn't the time to waste here. Even though we're at the Chaos cultivation stage now, once we finish our task, I'm afraid we'll regress to the Transcendent stage. It'll take some time to rise back," Lissa said with a small smile.

"Yeah, well, this is important, so we can't complain. Even if we regress, we're still Phantom Cats; taking on those in a realm beyond us won't be a problem," Alida added, extending her hands.

An image of Klaus appeared before them.

"He seems alright, I guess. But it's too early. Master shouldn't come until he becomes a Great Sage. What happened, and why is he coming this early?" Alida asked.

"I don't know, and I don't care. It's Master—we're talking about. He is someone beyond comprehension. I think you're forgetting who we're dealing with. He's a Paragon, Alida. He has no equal."

"I guess you're right. Still, perhaps this is for the best. After all, this world he's in doesn't feel like the usual one before awakening. It feels like the karma on this world is more than it can handle."

"Then I guess we have to ensure Master succeeds in this trial. Otherwise, I don't even want to imagine what will happen," Lissa sighed.

"Let's start. We'll need to get the Trial Tower ready before he arrives. Who knows what punishment he'll give us if we mess up?"

The two ladies nodded and began channelling their cultivation into an artefact resembling a cube. Despite its simple appearance, it contained countless dimensions, clearly a dimensional cube of some kind.

Soon, the cube lit up, and the dungeon—or, as they called it, the tower—began to shift and change, creating an entirely new setting.

The dungeon is much more than one might think. In fact, the dungeon is not a dungeon at all. It's much more different than one might think and now that the owner is on the way coming, it must be prepared.

"So that is the dungeon, huh?" Klaus asked, gazing at a mountain-like structure a few kilometres away. Beside him were Queenie and Nari.

Queenie nodded, holding Klaus's hands.

"You have to be careful, Klaus. That place is not simple, and with your weak body, you might just get crushed easily," Nari said, patting him on the shoulder.

"I promise I won't die until I get my revenge on you," Klaus replied with a smile before looking at Queenie.

"Wait for me to come out before you challenge the spider monster. I want to fight it too."

Queenie nodded with a smile. She had already discussed her plans to go after the spider once her mom and the Moonborns arrived on Earth. Naturally, Klaus wouldn't want to miss out on a good fight.

"By the way, when will the Moonborns arrive on Earth?" Klaus asked, knowing there was no way humans would refuse this alliance.

"Five months from now," Queenie replied.

"I see. By then, I'll be back."

"Well, you better. We need someone to show those arrogant Moonborns we're no pushovers. It seems some of them still think they're superior to us, and from what my mom said, they may challenge us to a duel," Queenie said proudly.

"We need you to come and put them in their place."

"Don't worry. I'll be sure to show them what real men look like." Klaus wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a long kiss on her lips while Nari watched with a cute smile.

After a while, they broke apart, and Klaus turned to Nari.

"Like we discussed—no cultivating until I return."

Nari nodded. Although she didn't know why she had gone berserk the last time she broke through, watching the video and seeing how hurt Queenie was while subduing her had convinced her it couldn't happen again.

"I won't but hurry up and come back so you can teach me how to get my own dragon. I don't want to have to beat you up for it."

Klaus sighed, then used the link between himself and Queenie to speak to her privately.

[Keep a close eye on her. I feel like something bad might happen for reasons I can't explain. If it does, do your best to contain it and use the method I showed you.

I'll also do my best to finish early to see if her situation can be cured. Nari is my friend, and as you said, I also can't raise my weapons against her.]

{Don't worry, I'll ensure she's contained if things get out of hand.} Just like Klaus, Queenie also sensed something ominous on the horizon.

The two kissed again, with Klaus's hands wandering despite Nari standing beside them. Of course, she had seen more than enough before, so they didn't care.

After they were done, Klaus left and headed toward the dungeon where he would spend the next few months grinding.

"Is he going to be alright?" Nari asked after Klaus had left.

"Yes, he'll be fine. Let's wait for a day or two before leaving." Nari nodded, sat down, and began to wait.

Meanwhile, after Klaus left, he began sensing a familiar feeling emanating from the dungeon. This made him wonder what it could be.

But since he couldn't pinpoint what was causing the familiarity, he pushed the feeling to the back of his mind and kept moving forward.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance. After a few moments of calming himself, he stepped inside. Immediately upon entering, he found himself on the first floor, which resembled a world of its own.

The world looked eerily familiar. It was as if he had been there before. He scanned the landscape and, for several minutes, wondered where exactly he was.

He was captivated, but then his eyes widened. Recognition struck him, and a wave of fear coursed through his body for a brief moment.

"The Tormented World," Klaus muttered, his eyes widening further. "The region of the Hellhounds in the Tormented World."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a voice echoed in his head.
