The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 740: Deaths Chosen (4)

The mysteries surrounding Klausʼs uncles are ones he doesnʼt understand.

He had no idea he had uncles all this while. He knew his father was a hunter. He was a warrior who hunted monsters as his day job.

That was all he knew of him.

However, never in his wildest dreams did he ever think he had uncles all this while. The day he met them, he was rather shaken.

The only question he asked himself was, ”If he had amazing uncles like this all this while, then why didnʼt they come to their aid when he and his mother were suffering in the slums?”

This question is a major one with many mysteries surrounding it. He thought about it, but in the end, it just doesnʼt make any sense.

They said they didnʼt know he and his mother were in such a situation to begin with. This raised many questions, and as he grew up and learned more, he started to suspect something about his uncles.

First is their abnormal rise in their cultivation bases.

He met them when they were only Grandmasters. Back then, he saw them as pillars he wanted to be like one day. But it didnʼt take long for him to see that the Grandmaster stage wasnʼt that special.

However, when he met them again after a few months, they became Sages and now, fighting like the brutes they are. Every last one of them is a Sovereign, each packing powerful punches.

Naturally, that should be fine, considering some people are just freaks. But the mystery is that they are Peak Sovereigns, which means they will soon be Transcendents. This isnʼt normal.

Normal humans need at least a few years to move at that speed. Klausʼs friends are a perfect example. They are currently at the Sage stage since things get difficult from the Grandmaster stage.

But they were moving too fast, which was why Klaus believed they had a secret.

Naturally, he brought them on this expedition to find out what, or at least get a hint. He knew they wouldnʼt tell him if he asked, so he would be playing the long game.

Second, the mysteries surrounding his dadʼs death were ones he just called bullshit now that he knew better. If what his uncles told him was true, the mad hunter wouldnʼt have fallen into a Tier 3 forbidden zone.

So he suspected they were hiding something.

He trusts them, but he also wants to know more about them. And since they kept quiet, he took drastic measures to glean something from them.

Too bad he wasnʼt around to witness them use their Law of Self.

One thing all warriors should focus on is their Law of Self. When they get to the Domain stage, they will fully comprehend it to form their domains.

So itʼs very important.

Itʼs what will determine if they can keep rising after forming their domains.

However, Klaus noticed something.

Just like how the bloodline awakening is being blocked by the heavens, something which isnʼt normal, by the way, the Law of Self is also being restricted for most.

Aside from Queenie, Nari, Kathy, and Instructor Victor, he has yet to find anyone who has the Law of Self. Even Queen Lunara doesnʼt have one.

But his uncles do and are now using their Laws of Self.

Watching them unleash their laws was shocking to all the Sovereigns watching them.

”Gunslingerʼs Mountain Body”

Uncle Ziggy activated his Law of Self, and at once, the 100 meters around him turned black and white. There wasnʼt any color in the air.

It was like he had sucked away all the color in the air.

But while the color is gone, something else replaces it. From the ground, a metallic giant version of him rose up and stood 5 meters tall with two giant horns on his forehead.

He has four pairs of arms, which means he has eight arms. In each arm is a big revolver bathed in lightning.

The real Uncle Ziggy floated up, stood atop his metallic selfʼs head, and grinned.

”Letʼs dance.”

Saying that, ten revolvers started offloading lightning bullets on the monsters, creating powerful explosions all around him.

”Hahahahah... This is awesome,” he laughed, unleashing barrages of bullets, each as quick as the wind and leaving lightning trails in their wake.

None of the Tier 9 brute elephants could get within 50 meters of him since the moment they enter his Law of Self, their defenses and speed are slowed down.

Naturally, this Law of Self has already reached the second tier, unlike the ones Klaus faced during the trial inside the dungeon.

When itʼs formed, it is Tier One.

Then, the more you increase your comprehension, the more it grows. It is basically like growing your own domain. All you have to do is keep learning, and it will improve gradually.

His uncle, a gunslinger, has managed to add an object to his Law of Self, which means he has already reached Tier 2.

But he wasnʼt the only one.

Uncle James also activated his own Law of Self.

”Boomerang Arc Rain”

Uncle James has an affinity for the fire element and uses boomerangs. So now, hovering colossally inside his 150-meter-wide Law of Self, he is a flaming boomerang shooting barrages of fire arcs at the monsters.

Each arc looks like a boomerang, creating powerful explosions just like Uncle Ziggy.

Naturally, he was also using different skills, but Klaus would have been blown away by the fact that just activating his Law of Self could already be this amazing.

Lucy expected them to hold back a few of the Tier Nines while Danny and the others handled the rest, but based on how things were going, the uncles would finish them first.

Lucy, who was witnessing this, could only stare in shock as his uncles manhandled the difficult task. Though they werenʼt killing the monsters like small fries, they were also not playing with them.

This made her make some changes to her battle plans.

”Mountain Shield Domain”

Uncle Markʼs voice boomed as a giant shield materialized from thin air and descended on the ground, shaking everything.

”Damn it, Mark, canʼt you do things in moderation?”

Uncle Ziggy shouted at his brother, who just smiled and landed a powerful punch on the shield.

Bang

When his fist landed on it, a beam of light shone out, erasing a Tier 9 from existence.

”What in the actual fuck...” Dannyʼs jaw was hanging as he stared at the severely injured Tier 9 monsters and the spot where one used to stand.

Not even the core was left.
