The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

From the report Abyss has on the dangers hidden on Earth, he managed to pinpoint the locations of seven Chaos Stage (Tier 12) beings on Earth.

So far, the most dangerous on Earth is at Tier 12, so this means Abyss was able to pinpoint 7 of such monstrous beings.

The report, though only 80% complete, managed to gather the essential information the team needed to handle their missions well.

One of the Chaos Stage beings is the Crocodile King, living in the Stagnated Swamp.

The Stagnated Swamp used to be one of the Tier 9 Forbidden Zones 33 years ago. However, all of a sudden, the beasts living there evacuated, and the danger there was handled.

But while the humans were supposed to reclaim one of the lands and use it to further develop the earth, they didn’t dare go there, as the place was filled with poison caused by a battle that had occurred a few years into the apocalypse.

Humans used one of the forbidden nuclear weapons, and ever since then, the air there has been poisoned and is bad for humans to breathe.

Of course, warriors can survive there, but staying for too long would be dangerous.

However, with a Tier 12 being present there, Klaus recognized the need to address it and handle the danger it posed.

However, since he was going on vacation, he left it to his team to handle.

Klaus’s five uncles took on that mission, and for the past few days, they had been preparing all the tools they needed to handle the danger at the place they were going.

Their target is the Crocodile King, whom Abyss had estimated to have already reached level 3. This means that, judging by its level, it has already surpassed the danger level of the Savage King.

Abyss couldn’t get a clear image of the Crocodile King, but the crude one he managed to capture showed a 3-meter-tall human with a pair of horns and a large tail.

The image looks terrifying, and while the five uncles are not normal either, they finally understood their mission is a risky one.

The location wouldn’t be favorable to them, and knowing the Crocodile King grew up there, it was only safe to assume he had some form of mutation that allowed him to live there all these years.

“Something keeps telling me this is a bad idea,” Uncle Jojo, the gauntlet user, said, holding a tablet showing the location of the Crocodile King and some details of how dangerous the place is.

Uncle Mark smirked, looking out of the window of the jet, “Tell that something to relax. It’s just a Tier 12 beast. How strong could it be?”

“Mark is right. How powerful can a Tier 12 beast be? We are no weaklings, Jojo, so tell that something within you to take a chill pill,” Uncle Xian, the axe user, added with a mocking touch.

“You two should be making fun of me. When the time comes, don’t run crying with your tail tucked between your legs.”

The four uncles laughed, hearing Jojo, the paranoid one, worry. Of course, Uncle Jojo wasn’t about to abandon the mission.

He isn’t a coward, but judging by the look on his face, he seems to be the only sane one among the uncles.

They are all hungry for combat, ignoring the obvious danger right before them. Their target is probably at the Level 3 Chaos Stage and possesses an Innate Domain.

This means, combat advantage-wise, he had already trumped them, and Uncle Jojo could see that. But the rest were just waiting for the battle to begin.

“Relax, Jojo. If Madhunter were here, he would say something along the lines of, ‘Though the target is stronger than us, it doesn’t mean when it comes to killing it, we can’t,’” Uncle Ziggy said.

“Yeah. We both know Madhunter is abnormal, just like his son. But even so, we are not here to kill this bastard; we are here to subdue it and give it to Klaus to grow his beast army.

That is even more dangerous than going for the kill. So you four better take this seriously, else I will be the only one going back home after today.”

The uncles laughed.

Uncle Jojo shook his head ‘They might just die today, and it will be their loss.’

Uncle Jojo leaned back in his seat and waited as they slowly got to the location.

A few hours later, they came within 5 miles of the Stagnated Swamp, and so they jumped out of the jet, no parachute needed.

They would approach the location quietly and, if possible, launch a surprise attack on the Crocodile King. So they landed 5 miles from the location. However, the moment they landed, all five of them sensed something.

“We’ve been discovered,” Uncle Ziggy said, pulling out his twin revolvers. The rest of the uncles all took out their weapons, sensing they had landed within the Innate Domain of the Crocodile King.

What was even worse, the moment they landed inside the Innate Domain of the Crocodile King, they sensed a powerful gaze locking onto their bodies from three different directions.

“Okay, Jojo was right. Something is telling me now that this is a bad idea,” Uncle James said, spinning his flame boomerang as he studied the area.

“Humans, what are you doing in my domain?” Suddenly, a chilling voice came from within the zone, creating a powerful shockwave that washed over everyone.

Uncle Jojo checked his warrior tracking device and saw the true level of the beast they would be facing.

‘That is Level 4. Abyss was wrong again.’

The chilled air slowly dissipated, causing the thick atmosphere to thin out, giving the five uncles a moment to catch their breath.

Uncle Ziggy, whose sight was more powerful than his friends’, looked east, and that was when his gaze landed on the colossal giant demi-beast standing 7 miles from them.

It was approximately 3 meters tall, with a muscular body coated in thick, crocodile-like scales. Its arms were thick and long, ending in piercing, metallic claws.

It had a large, long tail ending with a piercing, razor-sharp tip. Looking at its head, Uncle Ziggy could spot three eyes, one opening on its forehead.

‘That looks terrifying.’ Uncle Ziggy channeled energy into his guns before replying to the Crocodile King.

“Here’s the thing, ugly beast. Our young master is assembling a team of monsters and beasts for this upcoming event. He has already gotten a few dangerous ones but wants to add more.

Luckily for you, he has chosen you to join his team, so he sent us here to capture you.

Well, he knew capturing you would be hard, so he wants us to beat some sense into you, and hopefully, you will gain some sense and join his cause.

So, what do you think? Are you willing to surrender, or should we do it the hard way?” The moment Uncle Ziggy ended his reply, the Crocodile King’s third eye turned green.

“Mark, you go first.”

Uncle Ziggy wasn’t even done with his command when a powerful beam came from the third eye. Uncle Mark was quick and jumped forward, blocking with his shield.

However, instead of blocking the attack completely, he was sent flying by the beam.

“And so it began.” The four uncles charged forward, weapons drawn.
