The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

BOOOOOM

The silver arrow and the fire beam collided, creating a powerful explosion. The shockwave from the explosion blew blood shadow back several kilometres.

”NO!”

She screamed, almost as if she had been swallowed by the explosion. However, looking at her body, aside from a few cuts inflicted by Klaus, she was in perfect shape.

One might wonder why she screamed.

Her answer came the next second, just as the explosion was subsiding. The void opened, and Klaus walked out, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.

Klaus lied to her, claiming there were only a dozen time loops when, in fact, there was a 13th, one that Klaus had saved for this very moment, as if he knew he would be attacked by a third party.

”There is always a double cross,” he muttered, looking back at Immortal Lord James, whose expression is even darker.

The next second, before Immortal Lord James could unleash another attack or say anything, a blinding silver light filled the space as a flawless beauty stepped out from her spaceship, holding a huge bow.

She took one step, and, as if space were hers to play with, it expanded and then contracted, bringing her to Klaus’s side.

She ignored everybody and turned to the white-haired brat and asked, ”Are you the renegade hunter?”

”The one and only,” Klaus said, his white hair now touching his lower back, swaying in the air. He was burning his bloodline to keep himself awake.

His red eyes locked onto the silver-haired beauty who was also looking at him.

”My name is Rory Victor, the oldest daughter of Star-Lord Victor. I am here on my father’s orders to bring you to Planet Baski.”

”Well, you are right on time. I was growing bored playing with these losers.” Klaus grinned and looked at Immortal Lord James and Blood Shadow with a look that said, ’That’s right, I have an Immortal Lord on my side now.’

Rory is also an Immortal Lord, and judging by her aura, she is far stronger than both Immortal Lord James and Blood Shadow.

She, after all, had formed six Immortal Rings. But even if those aren’t used as a measure of strength, the fact that she is a Gold Tier disciple in the Milky Way Warrior Academy is all the reason to fear her.

She turned and locked her gaze on Blood Shadow and Immortal Lord James, gazing at them like a bunch of ants. ”Do I have anything on my face?” She asked despite her being the one looking at them.

The two trembled and took a few steps back.

Immortal Lord James recovered quickly, and under Klaus’s shocked gaze, he knelt down and bowed. ”I-I kindly ask of Lady Rory, I mean the Silver Huntress, to forgive me for attacking her. I had no idea you were the one I had attacked.”

”Huh, bastard, what are you talking about?” Klaus, despite his body aching and his consciousness barely hanging on, lifted his scythe and pointed it at Immortal Lord James. ”You clearly attacked me, hoping to end me while I was on my last leg, or do you think I didn’t see you?”

Immortal Lord James bit his lips, a pale look appearing in his eyes.

Klaus smirked and lowered his scythe. ”Fear not, Lady Rory wouldn’t do anything to you since you didn’t attack her. However, remember today, and keep in mind that I will come for revenge.

I had no beef with you, yet you attacked me. This had now made things personal. So wash your neck and wait for me. I will return one day.”

After saying that, Klaus turned to Immortal Lord Phobas and nodded. ”Nice sword. We should have a duel when I become an Immortal.”

”Hahahaha, I would love that.” He took a card from his space ring and threw it at Klaus. ”That is my Dark Space ID. Reach out whenever you have time. I would love to know more about the infamous Renegade Assassin.”

”I will,” Klaus said, storing the card in his space before turning to Rory. ”We can leave now. I doubt these spineless losers will dare follow us.”

Rory nodded and took his hand.

Then, with a single step, they appeared beside her spaceship and boarded. At that very moment, the hunters from the mission hall also arrived. However, seeing Klaus and Rory leave, they quickly followed.

Soon, they were gone, leaving Blood Shadow chewing on her lips while Immortal Lord James cursed his bad luck.

Meanwhile, Immortal Lord Phobas was pleased to have made contact with Klaus, while Immortal Lord Banabas began drooling about all the money he would make when the video went public.

Immortal Lord Phobas said to Immortal Lord James:

”Looks like you failed your bounty, but managed to make a vengeful hunter your enemy. Even worse, you placed yourself on the radar of the infamous Silver Huntress.

Hope it was worth it. And as for you, Blood Shadow, if I were you, I would start looking for ways to seek forgiveness and atone for your wrongdoings.”

After saying that, he disappeared and appeared inside his spaceship. ”As for me, I have had enough fun, so I am going to go kill some demons. So long, everyone.”

The next to leave was Immortal Lord Banabas, who had made the video of the battle public and was now going to sell some of the exclusive scenes to the highest bidders.

”You two should invite me to your next beatdown, you know, when the Renegade hunter is back, asking for your heads.”

With mocking laughter, his spaceship vanished into the Dark Universe warp channel.

Immortal Lord James gritted his teeth and looked at Blood Shadow. ”Go and tend to your injuries. I will take a trip to my homeworld. When I return, we should plan on how to handle this mess.” With that, he was also gone.

A few seconds after Immortal Lord James left, Blood Shadow sighed and was about to move toward her spaceship when space suddenly froze, bringing her to a sudden halt.

CRACK

Space cracked, and the void tore open. From within, two people stepped out: a monk and a beauty with blue hair, radiating an intense, chilling ice mist.

The monk was radiating the power of an Immortal Lord, while the lady seemed to only be at the peak of the Early Immortal stage.

When Blood Shadow saw them, she turned pale. She didn’t know who they were or what they wanted; however, the fact that she had been rendered immobile told her she was in trouble.

But to her shock, the moment the void closed, she was released. The blue-haired lady then asked, ”Can we get a ride to the nearest planet?”

Blood Shadow promptly nodded and pointed at her spaceship. ”The seniors can take that spaceship. I don’t mind.”

”Oh, how generous. In that case, allow my uncle to heal your injuries.” Without delay, the monk formed a hand seal and sent a rune flying at her. It merged with her forehead without much resistance.

This caused her to close her eyes for a brief moment. When she opened them, the two immortals were gone. However, she sensed her connection to her Immortal Rings open.

She quickly retrieved an A-class spaceship and sped away. After she left, the spaceship and the two immortals appeared from thin air.

”Are you sure she is the one?” the blue-haired lady asked the monk.

”I am sure. She is one of the three Asura Keys.”

The lady smiled. ”Oh, Klaus is not going to be happy with this development.”
