The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

[Three Days Later]

After the battle with the Blood Shadows, Klaus sustained a few injuries, all caused by Rose. He could have used the Head of Time to reverse time, since his armour is capable of doing so.

His Nine-Headed Ancient Hydra Dragon living armour is no simple armour. He is practically an immortal when using it. However, Klaus chose to heal manually.

He wanted to feel alive like he used to back in the day. Although they aren’t chasing him because he is a paragon, it reminded him of the good old days when he moved from one opponent to the next while on the run.

Ophelia and her four guards hadn’t taken their gaze off him for the past three days. Because of Klaus, they had three days of rest, with nobody coming after them or blocking them.

This filled them with gratitude and a sense of relief.

Unbeknownst to any of them, including Klaus, the reason they had this much-needed rest was because of the Renegade Hunter’s growing reputation.

Three days ago, before the True Immortal witnessed the three blood shadows explode their cores, he made sure he took an image and video of how the 12 warriors from The Ten Banner Mercenary Group died.

However, he didn’t only do that; he also tracked back to the other battlefields he had passed by and took records. Then he went on Uniweb and broke the news.

He reported how the Ten Blood Shadows fell to the renegade hunter’s perfectly crafted plan. He showed the images and a video of the explosion that killed the mercenaries.

He showed images of the dead bodies of the South Side Monk and others who died at the sharpened blade of Klaus’s deadly scythe.

He appears to have recorded numerous contents and even dared to copyright them for the revenue generated from viewership.

Lastly, he shared an image of Klaus holding his deadly scythe, a smirk showing on his lips as he gazes back at Rose, the leader of the Midnight Shadows. The angle was perfect, almost as if Klaus knew he was being photographed.

These images and videos went viral, and whether on the Dark Web or the surface web, everyone started talking about the Renegade Hunter.

The conversation soon spread throughout the galaxy, reaching every corner of the Milky Way and beyond.

Every last criminal felt threatened by the fact that a mere mortal had single-handedly slaughtered this many immortals.

In fact, many started doubting whether he is indeed a mortal, as the reports said. In their hearts, not even a true Immortal could have accomplished what Klaus did.

However, that thought was wiped out when the hunter profile of the Renegade Hunter was revealed. Everybody in the universe knew that the moment one signs up to be a hunter, their cultivation base is linked to their profile.

Even if they stop being a hunter and choose to keep their profile, every level-up will be updated automatically. So seeing Klaus’s cultivation base at the Peak of the Empyrean stage left all of them in great shock.

”I don’t believe it. There is no way a no-name from nowhere could be this impressive.”

”I don’t know what you want to believe, but you can attest to the fact that he had indeed killed more than two True Immortals and over two dozen Real Immortals. This places him on the same level as those Freaks in the Galactic Academies.”

”Oh, please, don’t blow his horn too loud. Yes, he is impressive and handsome by all standards, but he is nowhere close to those freaks.”

”Have you heard any of them make waves more than this Renegade Hunter?”

”That—”

”That is what I thought. You just don’t want to accept it, but this Renegade Hunter is on track to become one of the most dangerous Hunters in the Universe. Just wait until he becomes a True Immortal. I am sure even Immortal Lords would run from him.”

”Then, good thing he wouldn’t be getting the chance to become even an Early Immortal.”

”What do you mean?”

”Oh, so you haven’t heard. Apparently, the Blood Shadow herself had gone after that brat. His death would be announced by the close of tomorrow... I am sure of it.”

”Damn. What a waste... I actually liked this Renegade Hunter.”

”Me too.”

”Same here”

”RIP Renegade Hunter, you had a good run.”

Words of the Blood Shadow herself, going after Klaus, started to spread everywhere. She is the leader of the Blood Shadows, a Peak Immortal Lord who has already formed five Immortal Rings.

In the realm of Immortal Lords, while she is not as impressive as Star Lord Victor, who had already formed seven Immortal Rings, she could still be considered extremely dangerous.

Such a person had now gone after Klaus, a mere mortal, and judging by the fact that she was in an SS-class spaceship, it appeared she wanted to get her hands on him before he reached his destination.

By now, everyone knew Klaus was heading to Planet Baski, a place no one with small balls would dare go near. They wouldn’t want the wrath of Star Lord Victor to descend on them.

So she wants to catch up to him before he enters the space station of Planet Baski. Hearing and watching how ten of her people died pissed her off, so she wanted the one responsible dead.

News soon reached Klaus, as Darius decided to update him on the danger approaching...

”Glad to see you again, Sir,” Klaus said, staring at Darius, who held a respectful gaze. He is an Immortal Lord, but hearing and seeing what Klaus had accomplished over the past three days made him respect him all the more.

”Glad to see you are well, also, Renegade Hunter.” Darius tried to smile, but he couldn’t. That is because what he was about to say is not something he is happy about.

”Let me guess, there is someone extremely dangerous coming, and you called to tell me?” Darius bowed his head in shame.

[That is true, Master. The Blood Shadow is coming.] Icon confirmed Klaus’s words. She was even about to tell him before Darius called.

”How long do I have?”

”A couple of hours. I have sent A-class hunters to intercept you, and the daughter of Star Lord Victor is also on her way from a different planet. However, I am not sure they would reach you before the blood shadow did.” He sighed and added and resignation, ”I should have sent them much earlier.”

”So what you are asking me is to hold back an Immortal Lord long enough for the help to arrive.”

Darius couldn’t answer.

Seeing this, Klaus smiled and stretched his body... ”Looks like I have to bring out my A game this time.”

”Huh?” Darius looked at Klaus with a widened frown. ”You do know she is an Immortal Lord, right?”

”I do, but that doesn’t change anything. From the way I see it, if I manage to hold her back and survive long enough for help to arrive, my street cred would take a sudden leap.”

Klaus grinned and added in a somewhat serious tone, ”I don’t know about you, Sir Darius, but where I am from, street cred is everything.”

Darius was out of words. He expected Klaus to become panicked, even to threaten to abandon Ophelia; however, what he saw was a stark contrast to what someone in Klaus’s position would typically feel.

”Relax, Sir Darius, I already said I would deliver these five unscathed, and I stand on that. So relax and watch how a mortal survives an Immortal Lord.”
