The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1294: Saving Them

BOOM

One of the Peak Real Immortals slammed into the ground, his bones breaking under the weight of a boulder made of ice.

There was no way a Real immortal could carry a boulder as large as an apartment building in Chongqing, China. Even filled with so many ice Laws.

Klaus didn’t hold back his attacks on these people, unlike during the Blood Tournament.

In his mind, when it comes to fighting Peak Real Immortals, no matter what, his life is in danger, so whatever he has to do to win, he must do it.

This was why, when he picked his target, he went all out.

He is a weapons overlord, so the moment he touched the scythe, using it was as simple as swinging it.

In a span of 45 seconds, Klaus had shattered the Real Immortal’s defence entirely and was on the verge of killing him.

However, that didn’t mean he hadn’t paid for it. His core was rapidly draining more than he was recovering.

Klaus knew the only way to easily handle a Real Immortal without depending too much on his energy was also to become an Immortal.

But since he had nine cores, he didn’t seem to care too much.

However, with four more Real Immortals in the fold, he knew he would have to spend more than he could recover and ensure the battles came to an end as fast as possible.

’Seraya, kill him.’

The Grim Void Blade appeared again, and before the Peak Real Immortal could push the ice boulder off his body, the sword arrived before him.

He tried to dodge; however, Seraya is no ordinary Real Immortal. Before she became a criminal, she was a promising assassin in training.

She had learned many things, and even long before she stepped into the rank of a Real Immortal, she succeeded in destroying the body of a True Immortal.

However, her skill had only grown even more dangerous when she turned to the dark side. So while the Peak Real Immortal tried to dodge, all Seraya saw was a cornered Immortal with nowhere to run.

She tapped into the void thanks to the sword she embodied and created three void portals.

Then she used yet another void skill called [Void Multiply]. She divided her body into three, allowing three swords to stab at the Peak Real Immortal at the same time.

Only one of her swords is the real deal, but because the Real Immortal was cornered, he had no time to discern which of the swords was the real deal; thus, he picked just any.

He couldn’t defend against all three, which was what Seraya was counting on.

It was like the three-body problem, but in Russian Roulette.

The moment the Peak Real Immortal made his choice, Seraya had already won. She stabbed through his back, and when the pain stunned him, she went for the main kill.

His forehead was pierced through, instantly killing his Immortal soul.

Klaus was already on the second Real Immortal, trusting entirely in Seraya to kill the bastard.

In truth, the moment she became a weapon spirit, Klaus saw all her memories, and so even if he doesn’t trust her, he knew she wouldn’t fail.

’Enter the void and wait for the next opportunity,’ Klaus transmitted to her, and she obeyed. She entered the void, waiting for her master to give her another opening.

Meanwhile, Ophelia had managed to keep Desmond back with her unlimited barrage of arrows. No matter how one sees it, Desmond was pressed.

However, Klaus knew better. He could see something no one else saw, and because of this, he decided to take Desmond as his second weapon spirit.

Despite being severely injured, Desmond was holding on. While hidden from everyone, Klaus saw he was planning a dangerous counter that, when used, would put Ophelia in danger, even killing her if she failed to react in time.

’This bastard has some potential.’

Many in his situation would have already made a desperate suicide move to take their opponent down with them; however, that wasn’t Desmond.

He was betting against death, and as he looked at the complex hand seals hidden behind him, being formed using just a single hand, Klaus was impressed.

’Fury, do your thing,’ Klaus activated the Soul Fury Forbidden Flame again. However, instead of manifesting as a large dragon or a handsome teenager, he appeared in the form of a rune that moved and merged with Desmond.

The moment Fury merged with Desmond, the poor bastard sensed it. He turned and looked at Klaus, who gave him a wink, the last thing he saw before a scorching hot flame spread through his soul.

”AAAAAAAAARRGH....BASTARD”

But inasmuch as one would love to be able to kill their opponent with their curse words, Desmond knew it was futile even to resist.

That was because the momentary distraction was all Ophelia needed to put an arrow through his chest.

With that arrow, he knew death was waiting for him. He was making headway, only for Klaus to ruin it.

’Surrender and let me help you live on in some other form. Resist, and I would still get what I wanted, but painfully.’ Desmond heard Klaus’s voice in his head, but he ignored it.

He instead gritted his teeth and tried to dispel the flame in his soul.

However, when dealing with a forbidden flame, just raising soul defences wouldn’t be enough. But, to prove he isn’t one to be cornered, he refused to take up the offer Klaus gave him.

Unfortunately for him, aside from Klaus, there was someone else after his life, and she wasn’t relaxing one bit. Ophelia managed to drive another arrow through his chest, and a third one was aimed at his forehead.

’Well, looks like you have run out of time. Accept my offer and let me save you, or she will kill you.’

”GO TO HELL”

Ophelia unleashed her arrow after letting out a furious cry.

The arrow carved a silver light filled with killing intent through the air. Desmond tried to defend by raising five-layered defences; however, every last one was shattered, and the arrow embedded itself in his forehead.

Even so, he tried to fight it; however, all light was soon drained from his face. Being pierced through the head is akin to being pierced through the soul.

The arrow Ophelia used was her trump card, so resistance was futile.

Klaus smiled on the side just as he succeeded in giving Seraya another chance. She went for the kill without any delay.

When he turned and looked, the other three Peak Immortals had already been dealt with by Ophelia’s four guards, proving they aren’t greenhouse flowers.

Of course, the fact that just two of them were able to hold back all five Peak Real Immortals, even if for just a few seconds, proved they aren’t weak at all.

So seeing them kill all three of them in a couple of minutes proved they are qualified to protect someone who was able to send a Priority request.

Klaus collected the bodies and waved his hand; his spaceship then appeared.

”I believe it would be wise to leave her, considering dangerous monsters are on their way here.”

Ophelia and her guards hesitated, but Klaus flashed his hunter badge, putting them at ease. They entered the ship, and soon, they were several miles away from Planet Nivel.

Forty seconds after they left, three True Immortal-level monsters appeared on the scene. When they saw nobody alive, they started to fight among themselves
