The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

After Klaus and Rory left, they went straight to the mission hall.

”How can I help you today, sir?” Maybe because part of his hair was covering half of his face, the lady who greeted him didn’t recognise him. However, when Klaus flipped his hair, the lady’s eyes widened.

”R-Renegade Hunter,”

Klaus smiled while Rory maintained her straight face. She was still thinking about Klaus accepting an Advanced Mission.

To her, that was worth thinking of than paying attention to what Klaus does with his hair.

”Kindly follow me, Renegade Hunter.” Klaus and Rory were led inside, and then, under the stunned looks on everyone’s faces, he stepped onto a levitating board with the lady and Rory and was led up.

They went straight to the last floor, where the moment Klaus stepped out, he felt like he had stepped into a special environment. The air in that place is clean and filled with energy.

It was as if someone went out of their way to purify the air there.

”You can relax here. I will handle everything.” Klaus nodded and sat down. Rory followed. The lady poured them a glass of wine, which, with just a single sip, Klaus realised was no ordinary wine.

”Good wine,” he muttered before taking another sip.

Seeing the stunned look appear on his face, the lady smiled and walked away.

The signing bonus he was given after the special deal with the Mission Hall is rather generous. But having a good wine while they redeem it for him is even better.

He would be taking home 4 billion Heaven’s Crystals, an A-class flame-powered laser gun, an SS-class spaceship, access to S-tier mission information, and a Hunter Pass that he can use to shop at any mission hall treasury.

It can be used to purchase anything as long as the cost does not exceed 1 billion Heaven’s Crystals, and it provides a 10% discount.

The offer was generous, so he understood why someone like Immortal Lord Ingix would oppose giving it to him.

To her, there are many SS-class and SSS-class hunters who have accomplished so much that making them Unique Hunters would be better.

But even if he deserves to be a Unique Hunter, the 4 billion Heaven’s Crystal as the signing bonus given to him was just too much. Many hunters go their entire lives without seeing half of what Klaus had received.

Klaus is, of course, happy to receive this much reward from just his signing bonus. As for the stipends, he would receive 20% more from missions, and well, every 100 years, he would receive a bonus of 5 billion Heaven’s Crystals.

Aside from that, he would be invited to all VIP auctions organised by the mission hall. He also has access to the Missions Archive in both the physical and virtual universe.

Basically, he can afford to use all ten of his bodies and even go further, making sure each has the best resources to grow stronger, thanks to the wealth the mission has for him.

He had no plans on wasting time now that he knew the universe was hanging by a thread.

”Holding the wine is different from drinking it, Rory,” Klaus said, smiling at Rory, who merely had her glass of wine in her hands instead of taking sips and savouring the taste.

”I don’t drink cheap wine,” she said in a nonchalant tone. Klaus merely smirked and focused on drinking his wine.

Once everything is done here, he will head to the Warrior Tower, which is only two days away. From there, he would wait for his main body to handle his time on Earth before going to the academy.

Walking into the maw of Heaven’s Court must be done with his main body. The moment his main body takes over, this body will go to Planet Nivel. Then, when he picks up the spaceship Sera had gotten him, he will resume his trip to the Beasts Universe.

He would find a way to ensure his paragon body has a smooth ride. Klaus already has an idea of how to make himself popular in that body.

After all, he wants to shake the universe this time around, and what better way to do that than by making himself popular.

For now, he had everything figured out.

”Are you really accepting that advanced mission?” Rory suddenly asked.

”Of course. It sounded like those long ears needed help, so I might as well offer my help,” Klaus chuckled, then asked, ”Are you worried about me?”

Rory smirked, but she seemed a bit concerned.

However, as someone who had already been cold toward Klaus for obvious reasons, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words she would have said if she and Klaus were friends.

Seeing this, the shameless Klaus moved toward her and said in a rather serious tone, ”Obviously, you look concerned for my safety. But while that is sweet and all, those people need help, and since I believe I can be that help, I would have to go.

But even if I don’t care about the elves, just the idea of killing a bunch of demon scums is all the reason I need to go. Also, I like danger, so I might as well jump into one and make sure I enjoy every last moment of it.”

Rory stared at him long and hard and said:

”You are weird.”

”I get that a lot.”

”For what it’s worth, I think you are brave. However, know when to show restraint. I know these people have high expectations for you, and for that, you want to prove yourself, but know that in this life, there are many important things better than seeking validation.”

”I will take that to heart, Grandma.”

Rory frowned. ”Who are you calling Grandma?”

”You, of course. You are over 10,000 years old, so it is normal to call you a grandma. I tried being your friend, but it seems I was merely an infant in your eyes.”

”You...”

Klaus shifted away, making sure he added some distance between himself and the frustrated Rory. The fact that Klaus doesn’t see her as an Immortal Lord seems okay to her.

However, just from the way he acts, it is clear he thinks they are friends or even age-mates.

That is a bit frustrating because to her, Klaus is merely an infant.

But what if she can give him the benefit of the doubt and become his friend? That would, in a way, make things a bit more normal between them.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Lord Darius, Lord Declain, and Lady Ingix walked into the room. With them joining, the room turned a bit lively.

A couple of minutes later, the lady came holding a customized space ring containing the spaceship and the other items.

The money was deposited into his bank account linked to his hunter profile.

After a few more talks with the three Immortal Lords, Klaus and Rory left and headed for their spaceship. Rory also has an SS-class spaceship, so they will be using hers for the trip.

Once they are back on Planet Baski and complete the mission Lord Victor had given him, he would start using his.

”See you around, Lord Darius,” Klaus waved at his new best friend before they took off and vanished into the clouds. Soon, they entered the Dark Universe Channel and started travelling to Planet Fiapre.

That is the planet the Warrior Tower headquarters is on.
