The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

According to the senior, the Obsidian Strings Demon Puppeteer is one, if not the strongest, puppeteer class he has ever seen. According to him, there have only been records of two people wielding this class in all of history.

Well, according to him, the first person wielded a rather dangerous form of this class, but they are the same.

The class is something that, per what he said, anyone wielding it will be as terrifying as they can be. He didn't hold back on this one since, according to him, he wanted to nurture this class personally.

Of course, he wouldn't be talking with Nadia, but through Klaus, he wants to cultivate her class to the level even gods would fear her.

<Senior, you now have your answer. I will get her body. You will have her class, so are you ready to tell me everything now?>

Klaus asked. Nadia was now melting on his chest and blushing like a pink tomato. Since Klaus wanted to know more about the class, and the senior only promised to tell him after he got through to Nadia.

With his hands brushing against her back, she couldn't do anything for the next few minutes. Klaus is that contagious.

[The Obsidian Strings Demon Puppeteer class is, perhaps, as I said before, the most powerful powerful Puppeteer class ever awakened. Many years ago, I came across a powerful demon named Mad Hunter.

It was a fictitious encounter, and from what I learned from him, he wielded this class. Before I tell you about this, I first have to tell you about the first time this class appeared.

It appeared billions of years ago, but from all I know from the few recordings of it, it was called Void-Weaver Puppeteer back then.

From what I know, it all revolves around four things: the soul, the life force, the mind, and the summon. Of course, that is all I know since little is known about the Void-Weaver.

However, I know more about the Obsidian Strings Demon Puppeteer and intend to ensure this human lady gets the best. I have many reasons for doing this, but the main one is the heavens will target someone with this class since it is half a forbidden class.]

<I expected as much,> Klaus wasn't surprised at all.

First, his fascination with the Asura race was unusual until he learned Queenie was one. And now, he was hearing Nadia may, in a way, be targeted. He was surprised by that.

[Yes. The class is forbidden, or half of it is forbidden, because the Obsidian strings are made of a star. At first, I didn't know why, but now I know it is made from a paragon star.]

<And there is the reason. I knew something like this would happen. But continue... What makes this class terrifying?>

[The reason it's terrifying is because of its four aspects: Obsidian Puppets, Possession, Unyielding Control, and Siphoning.

A puppet master connects their strings to animate and inanimate objects and uses them to control them. But as far as puppeteer classes go, that's about it. However, it's different for the Obsidian Strings Demon Puppeteer.

The reason is because of the four aspects.

The Obsidian Puppet aspect is the ability the puppet master uses to create their own puppets from anything they desire. This doesn't mean they can only take control over people or objects. No, this aspect grants them a unique talent called Ultimate Creation.]

<Ultimate Creation?> Klaus pondered.

[Yes. This allows them to create a puppet from anything they want and bestow upon it their unique skill set. Now, before you ask, these skills can be obtained in many ways. The Mad Hunter steals from people he has killed and gifts it to his puppets.

However, from what I know, it goes beyond that. The Obsidian Strings Demon Puppeteer class also has a hidden nature: the ability to summon puppet demons.

So, because of this unique summoning nature, the second aspect, Possession, can be applied.]

<I think I can describe this. So let's say she managed to create a puppet; once she summons a puppet demon, she can let the demon possess the puppet she has created, bestowing the skills to her creation... right?>

[Exactly. But that is just the intangible aspect of the summoning nature of the class.]

<What do you mean, senior?>

[The summoning comes in two forms. The first is the intangible, where the summon comes in the form of a spirit. In their intangible form, she can make it possess her created puppet. However, the other side is the tangible summon.

This aspect is similar to a summoning class. However, the demons summoned are... well... I can't say unless you want a heavenly punishment right now.]

<Let's dodge that, senior> Klaus smiled, brushing his hand against Nadia's pink cheeks.

[That being said, from what I know, she can create puppets up to three realms above her, and she can later upgrade them.

There is more to this, but for now, let me talk about the last two aspects.

The third aspect, the Unyielding Control aspect, ultimately boils down to her control over her puppets. Don't get me wrong, she can put her strings into humans and even monsters, but doing that would just waste her potential.

If she somehow awakens the puppet master workshop, then even normal humans and monsters can be made into terrifying puppets.

However, the unyielding aspect means the moment her string locks onto a soul, there is no way the victim would be able to break free. It's the ultimate slave seal.]

"Damn. That is a lot to take in," Klaus was blown away by the nature of her third aspect.

[If this is a lot to take in, then what about her last aspect, the Siphoning? This aspect is perhaps the most terrifying of them all.

A puppet master is not like a necromancer. Unlike necromancers, puppeteers have to link the strings to the souls of their puppets and then use their souls to control them. This meant the more strings linked, the greater its toll on their soul.

However, with this aspect, she wouldn't only be able to siphon the soul strength from her targets, but once she put her string into a puppet, their soul strength would become hers. This meant that no human or monster dead or alive could enter the cycle of reincarnation

Their soul would be added to her own, hence the forbidden aspect of the class.]

<Well, that took a darker turn quite quickly than I expected.> Klaus smiled and then he looked at the lady now lying on his chest.

<She has no idea she is this terrifying,> Klaus said.

[Indeed. But she hasn't passed the age where her talent would have gone to waste. So she will soon become a force to be reckoned with. She still has to put much effort into what will happen next should she choose to become powerful.]

<I don't think you have to worry about that, senior, but that said, is that everything I need to know before I start singing to her like a bird? I mean, she would want to know how terrifying she actually is or how powerful she would become.>

[That is enough for now. The moment she truly unlocks her potential; she will know more.]

<Alright then.>

Klaus lifted Nadia from his chest, locked his gaze into her eyes, and then smiled.

"Do you know, besides me, you are the most terrifying person I have ever met?" Klaus asked, shamelessly Your journey continues on empire
