The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1587: Terrifying Guardian

What Rhazor didn’t know was that the True God archer had come with a deadly mission: to make sure he never returned to the surface world.

His mission was that simple.

Kill Rhazor and ensure he remains dead.

As for who sent him, nobody knew, but he trusted his abilities and firmly believed he could accomplish the task. However, just when he thought he had found the perfect opportunity to strike, Rhazor went ahead and did the impossible.

All three spears found their mark.

The first pierced the Universal God’s chest.

The second tore through his neck.

The third blasted through his skull.

BOOM!

His entire body exploded into a rain of blood and flesh, filling the air with the metallic scent of blood.

This time, the Universal God died for real.

He had already died once before, but the Twisting Vine Forest had brought him back using a strange ability.

Now, Rhazor had made sure he could rest in peace forever, sending him on his way in the most gruesome manner possible.

This display shook the True God.

For a brief moment, doubt surfaced within his heart, and he began to reexamine the mission he had accepted.

Was it truly worth risking his life?

Could he really kill a monster capable of slaughtering Universal Gods while still being an Immortal Monarch?

Unfortunately, he wasn’t given the luxury of making a decision that would lead him to flee.

The moment the Universal God died, Rhazor turned his attention toward him.

Their eyes met across the battlefield.

The True God’s heart skipped a beat.

It wasn’t because of killing intent.

It wasn’t because of pressure.

It was because Rhazor looked completely calm, as though killing a Universal God was nothing more than swatting a fly.

This terrified him.

As for the two remaining Universal Gods, they showed no signs of anger despite one of them dying just now.

Their expressions remained blank.

Their eyes remained lifeless.

Even the aura surrounding them didn’t fluctuate.

It was as though they had witnessed the death of a complete stranger.

Then again, perhaps that was exactly the case.

They were puppets, once powerful gods trapped and killed by the Vine forest, only to be brought back to life as beings without free will.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

The death of one of their own held no meaning to them.

Without hesitation, the two remaining Universal Gods attacked once more, their figures disappearing from sight as they charged toward Rhazor from opposite directions, determined to complete the task they had been created for.

However, Rhazor was already a step ahead. He stomped on the ground, and flames exploded from the earth, covering the entire domain. All three of them were swallowed by his Forbidden Flame Domain.

The True God lost sight of Rhazor the moment the domain, or at least a part of the paragon, appeared. This made him sigh to himself.

However, before he could make a run for it, since he had already decided to flee, two ladies surrounded him.

“I wouldn’t think a True God would even have the face to run from a mere Immortal,” Void said, her words reaching the True God’s ears like needles.

He turned sharply and fired an arrow. However, Void raised her hand and summoned flames that consumed the arrow.

Before it could reach her, the arrow was reduced to nothing but ash.

“What a disappointment. Qilin and Fury got to fight decent warriors, and we’re left with this bum,” Nirvana added with a smirk. Then she turned and looked at Void and added, “Let’s make sure he has an agonizing death.”

“As he should.”

Before the True God could make a sound, he was surrounded by orange and crimson flames. The Chaotic Nirvana Flame and the Void Incineration Flame had been unleashed, raising the temperature of the space.

Everyone close to the flames moved even farther away. They could tell with certainty that if these flames touched them, they were done for, so they retreated to save themselves from the damage.

Unfortunately for the True God, he wasn’t that fortunate.

Meanwhile, up in the air, Nyrela had sustained some injuries. She was locked in battle with five Universal Gods, each wielding deadly domains, so it was only natural to sustain some injuries.

Even for her, such odds weren’t something she could handle easily. However, despite the disadvantage she was at, she kept stealing glances at Rhazor, who, from what she had observed, always seemed to be a step ahead of his opponents.

When he killed the first Universal God, she felt like she had been beaten.

Rhazor killing a Universal God before she could sounded like an insult to her. However, she also understood that the odds stacked against Rhazor weren’t as high as those against her.

Then again, if she knew the Universal God Rhazor killed had no domain nor bloodline, she would have patted herself on the back. But then again, she didn’t need to challenge herself, not when the smallest mistake would be devastating to her.

However, while she was doing her best to survive, some clever ones, who had been waiting to see if she would be helped by someone, perhaps her guards, came to the conclusion that she had none.

This made some people bold, and so the moment Rhazor had been waiting for came.

Three Universal Gods suddenly appeared from nowhere. All three arrived behind Nyrela, weapons drawn and mere inches from her.

Her eyes widened, and she moved her body, channeling space essence to stretch the distance between herself and the two Universal Gods. However, she felt locked down.

It was then she noticed the Grim Wolf Alpha had cast a gravity suppression on her.

‘I was arrogant for looking down on him,’ she cursed bitterly inwardly, but there was no surviving the two attacks.

However, just when she was at a dead end, two flaming arrows, each packed with so much flame essence that the space around them started to melt as they flew across the battlefield, arrived before the two Universal Gods.

“NOOOOOOO!”

They shouted, their eyes widening as the arrows arrived before their chests.

The first crossed his sword over his chest, while the second Universal God erected a translucent shield before him.

BOOOOOM!

Their bodies were blasted back, sending them flying toward the Flame Dao Crystal.

Naturally, many who had been holding back until now ignored the sudden, deadly attack and made a run for it, chasing after the two Universal Gods who had no control over their bodies.

The five beasts also abandoned their battles, ignoring Nyrela entirely as they made a move to get their hands on the Flame Dao Crystal.

Nyrela, who had come close to death, also felt that she should chase after the two since the arrows were sending them closer to the very thing they were all fighting for.

However, before she could move, a voice entered her head.

“Don’t.”

She halted in her tracks and was about to turn toward the flame domain where Rhazor was when something chilling happened. Her body suddenly lost control, and before she knew it, she was crashing toward the ground.

ROARRRRRRR!

A terrifying roar and deadly pressure erupted from everywhere, sending everyone crashing to the ground.

Up ahead, everyone chasing after the Flame Dao Crystal was either blasted to pieces or severely injured. Some even dissolved into mist, while others vanished from sight.

Up ahead, just two hundred meters from the Flame Dao Crystal, a colossal dragon with deep black scales, four deadly horns, metallic wings, and a tail ending in deadly talons burst from the ground and rose into the air.

Inside the Flame Domain, Rhazor grinned.

“And we are at the endgame now.”
