The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Sera is no ordinary person.

She is the head of the Dark Space Company in the whole of the Dervas Star System.

This makes her a very powerful, very important lady.

So for such a person to directly come to Planet Virel is already enough of a sign to know she didn’t just come to make the planet part of the Dark Space Company.

She had other motives, and, as Klaus expected, she mostly came for him. The nine-star guards sent her directly.

”Lady Solaria wanted to make sure you are fine. So she sent me here to make sure of that. Of course, she said you are a capable person, so I should keep my distance and only intervene when you are in trouble.”

Klaus took a deep sigh, ”So they think I will get into trouble I can’t handle, huh? Not that I blame them. They don’t like minding their own business, after all.”

Sera smiled.

She had only met the founders of the Dark Space Company once. However, from what she saw, she knew that for Klaus to be referring to them this casually, he might mean a lot to them.

Of course, she was told he was the Paragon, and, as someone who had sworn allegiance to the Paragon years ago, she was also happy to meet him.

This also made her think that perhaps the Dark Space Company is a part of the Paragon Alliance. However, just the fact that Klaus seemed friendly with her bosses told her everything she needed to know.

”Well, Sera, I don’t need guards since I will be fine. So you can go back to your life and live it without any reservations. That said, if I need help, I will reach out to you.”

Sera nodded.

She is, after all, told to respect Klaus’s decision.

Being trusted with this secret is already a strong sign that her employers trust her. Of course, she wouldn’t dare betray the Paragon. Unlike the Heavenly Court, there are no traitors in the Paragon Alliance.

If there were traitors, by now, the Paragon allies would have long been wiped out from the face of the universe.

”Lady Solaria also gave me a spaceship to give to you. She didn’t want to make things too flashy for you, so she only sent an S-class spaceship. It has more than enough weaponry to fight off even an SS-class spaceship.

The scanner range is 10 light-years, and it has cloaking tech. Aside from that, it is a ghost ship, so you can use it to enter any planet without having to worry about clearance.”

This time, Klaus smiled. His next big plan was to buy an A-class spaceship since he would be travelling long distances. However, now that he has been given an upgrade, who is he to reject it?

”Thank you, Sera. Tell Sol I said she is a flower.”

”I will,” Sera smiled.

Being around the Paragon and spending time with him is more than she could ask. She’ll be sure to brag about it to her friends.

A few minutes later, Thraxx returned... ”Did you find anything?”

”Nothing in particular that will warrant a search. However, I did sense some weirdness while flying over the sea. So if we have to search for anything, we should do it at sea.”

Sera nodded.

”I think I know what he is talking about,” Klaus suddenly said, taking a sip of his wine.

”You see, I came here for a hunter mission, and the mission was to kill a beast called Whispering Beast. From the mission description, they said it was a colossal beast with several eyes littered on its body.

However, when I entered the mist, I found out it wasn’t a beast at all but a human from a planet called Bixim. I believe you saw the three red-skinned immortals when you got here.”

Thraxx and Sera nodded.

”Yeah, they are Bimixians, and from what I found out, they sent that person here to create a huge problem, the kind that will push the planet to its limit, and so they will swoop in and save them.

They are prepared to make the planet their vassal planet if they handle the issue for them. However, I spoiled their plan and, in doing so, also destroyed their future plans.

But they didn’t know I managed to glean the main reason behind their plans.

It turned out they found out somehow that this planet once belonged to a blacksmith who lived during the Primordial Era.

So if your scanners picked up on something weird and Immortal Thraxx also confirmed there is something hidden inside the sea, then I believe the people aren’t kidding.”

Thraxx and Sera furrowed their brows, hearing what Klaus said.

”Do you believe him?”

”Partially. That is because I don’t believe this planet is big enough to house a Primordial Era Blacksmith. However, I believe this planet is indeed special.”

”So you think there is more to this?” asked Sera. She seemed to have bought into the idea as well.

”Yes. However, that will be something you and the company will have to worry about. I have better things to do, after all.”

She smiled, and Thraxx merely shook his head. Since Klaus told them something this important, it means he had no plans to pursue it himself.

That is good enough for him.

Of course, the fact that he is not on his knees said it all... He doesn’t know Klaus is the Paragon. This also means not all workers at the Dark Space company know their leaders are Paragon guards.

However, there is also a fix for that, one that will one day play a pivotal role in Klaus’s life.

Sera looked at Thraxx and said, ”This is Klaus Hanson; he is Lady Solaria’s adopted son.”

Hearing this, Thraxx bowed, ”I greet the Young Master.”

Of course, since Lady Solaria is one of the founders of the Dark Space Company, Klaus, being her adopted son, is the Young Master.

”You can just call me Klaus or Renegade, since that is my hunter name.”

Thraxx nodded. Of course, he will forever see Klaus as someone to be respected. His mother is a Celestial sitting at the peak, after all.

After having had enough to drink, the three of them left the hall.

”I will be leaving now. However, if I need help, I will surely call you without any delay.” Sera nodded to Klaus’ words.

The five Virelians also came to see him off. Klaus used the chance to secure his place in their small world. Their planet is only 1.4 times the size of Earth.

”In the future, if you need something handled by a hunter, don’t forget to request me. Also, when I am tired from hunting down criminals, I will pass by to spend a few days here. I hope I will be welcome.”

”Of course. You are our benefactor, so we will welcome you any day at any time.”

Klaus smiled and nodded. ”In that case, I will be on my way.”

Klaus entered his bird-shaped spaceship and soon flew off. When he was a safe distance away, he retrieved the new spaceship Sera gave him.

Soon, he was gone.
