The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

[An Unknown Planet]

A lone figure sat, his eyes closed, the air of calm snaking around him.

On his forehead, a crescent tattoo pulsed with dim golden light. If one were to see things, they would think the person was meditating. However, in reality, he was asleep, or more like forced to sleep.

The tattoo on his forehead put him in that state.

Suddenly, the tattoo flickered, and then a reddish star tattoo obliterated the crescent tattoo. The man snapped his eyes open, and the aura of a demigod spread far and wide from his body, going as far as to hit other planets billions of miles away.

“Klaus,” the man muttered, his expression turning dark.

He formed a hand seal and pressed his finger against the bridge between his eyes. His dark eyes flickered, and then, like a beam shot from his eyes, his vision expanded and traveled through the void, landing on a blue planet.

His gaze looked through the many warriors cheering their sudden win against the heavens. He smiled when he saw this, but he kept looking. Soon, his gaze landed on the one he was searching for.

“Klaus,” he muttered again, looking very angry yet happy to see his son.

“My boy,” that was how Klaus’s father used to call him when he was growing up.

When they were cursed by the heavens, he was forced to stay away from his son, or else he risked putting his son in danger.

Of course, he tried to stay in his life for as long as he could hold back the heavens, but in the end, he was forced to leave.

Initially, he thought he could stay in his life by watching over him, but to his dismay, the heavens put a sleeping curse on him, causing him to enter a deep slumber for all these years.

However, now the curse was lifted, and he immediately checked on his son. Seeing Klaus passed out, his heart ached, but then he saw how everyone was protecting him, making sure he was well. This calmed his heart.

However, he knew what had to be done, so he turned away from Planet Earth and focused on six people flying away from Earth.

After making sure they noticed his gaze, he pulled back his finger and closed his eyes, a sigh escaping his lips.

“How cruel.” He was the Mad Hunter, a being of legend. He was born with one of the greatest classes in history, the Obsidian String Demon Puppeteer. However, he carved his own path by changing his class to suit his swordsmanship.

Many called him a freak, for he was indeed a freak for changing something so powerful into something extremely dangerous.

He stood up and waved his hand, causing thousands of swords to erupt from the ground, flying into the air. Dark strings coming from his fingers connected to every last sword.

Instead of cultivating puppets, the Mad Hunter cultivated swords. Every last sword in his possession is akin to a demigod; he has thousands of them.

Now, he was ready to leave, so he started removing the sword formation he had set up.

Once every last sword came out of the ground, he waved his hand again, and they vanished. Then he retrieved a spaceship…

Soon, he was away from the planet.

[Somewhere in outer space]

Klaus’s mom and his five uncles were flying away from Earth.

Tears flowed freely from his mom’s eyes as they flew away from Earth. The fact that she was leaving her son just when she had recovered her memories made her heart ache…

The five uncles didn’t know what to say. Of course, they too were already missing the kid who came from the egg they found 20,000 years ago.

After the Paragon egg was found, they fought many battles, evaded many ambushes, and even came close to dying many times.

However, just when they finally had the chance to spend time with him, the heavens had to mess with that plan.

“Don’t worry, my lady, once we get back, we will figure out a way to reunite with him without the heavens making a fuss.

For now, we should create a safe place for him.” They had many enemies, so they didn’t want to involve Klaus.

Now that the curse is lifted, their enemies will soon beware of them and come after them. If they stay close to Klaus, his life will be put in danger, a danger the current him cannot handle.

So, for now, their only worry was surviving the danger that awaited them.

They might be targeted by the heavens, but as beings who went against the norm and saved a Paragon, they would become everyone’s target.

Even if they were to hide and wait for Klaus to appear in the universe, they would still be forced to go on the run, which would only put Klaus in danger.

Lady Elysia nodded, but she couldn’t help shedding more tears.

A few hours later, a spaceship appeared in the distance, and a lone figure walked out. When they saw him, all five uncles smiled.

Klaus’s mom, however, couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She jumped into the red-haired young man’s arms and started sobbing like a child.

The five uncles sighed, knowing it would be a while before the most dangerous angel in the universe returned to her cold, ruthless self.

“Don’t worry, Hunter, we will handle the flight back. Take care of her.”

Soon, they entered the ship and started flying away.

It took Hunter (Klaus’s father) a couple of hours to calm her down.

“Is he going to be okay?” she asked, struggling to hold back her tears.

“He is a Paragon, Elysia; he will be more than fine,” Hunter said, a small smile painting his face.

“You are not fooling anyone, Hunter. The fact that he is a Paragon is the sole reason why he will not be fine.”

“No need. I was privileged to read a forbidden record of one of his past selves, so I believe he will be more than fine. What we should be concerned about is how he will react against the Heavenly Court.”

Elysia sighed. “We really should get to my mother in the next ten years.”

“We should. She left a message for us at the outpost we stayed at 3,000 years ago.”

“What did she say?” Elysia seemed surprised but expectant. After all, one of their allies was her mother, the Angel Goddess of Death.

“She said when the curse is broken, we should head to the Beast Universe. She will reach out when we get there.”

“I see.”

Unlike her and the five uncles, Hunter knew who Klaus was the entire time. The curse didnt take away his memories or strength as a demigod.

This also meant that, while they had been cursed, Hunter had been able to make some moves behind the scenes to ensure their safety once they left.

“We just have to get to the Beast Universe, and then from there, we will figure out what to do next.”

Elysia nodded and leaned back in her chair.

“Did she say anything about the Divine Angel Race and the River Angel Race?”

“She said they are not a problem you should worry about.” Hunter smiled, retrieved an item from his space ring, and handed it to her.

When Elysia saw the item, her eyes welled up. “Your mom is as stubborn as ever, so you don’t have to worry about her. One day, when we reunite with Klaus, I am sure she is going to be very happy to finally meet her grandson.”

Elysia smiled, hearing that. After a few minutes, she asked a question that made Hunter smirk.

“What about your old man?”

“That bastard is still as difficult as ever. But at least he stopped sending blood hunters after me, so there’s a bonus to that.”

“Like father, like son, I guess,” Elysia smiled again.

“I just hope Klaus doesn’t accidentally kill his grandpa one of these days.” The two burst into resounding laughter.
