The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1064: Nyxaria, the debt collector

Leo, Luno, Cosmo, and Eros stood frozen, staring into the distance when they heard a lady’s voice enter their heads.

Upon turning around, their gaze landed on a darkly alluring woman with midnight-purple skin. Just her skin color was enough to tell them she was a demon.

She had silver-white hair flowing like mist and glowing crimson eyes that told them she was no rainbows and sunshine.

Of course, four gods were not about to fear a mere Monarch stage warrior. However, looking at her, something told them if they dared lay a finger on her, their end would come swiftly and painfully.

”Who is this fairy?” Luno asked, allowing a weak fake smile to appear on his face.

”I am Nyxaria, a shadow demon and a debt collector.”

”Oh.” The four gods furrowed their brows, hearing Nyxaria’s words.

”What sort of debt do you collect?” Eros asked.

”The destiny kind,” Nyxaria said, taking out a purple scroll from her space ring and unfurling it.

”Many billion years ago, the court of heaven found out there were four monkeys living on Plane Xtar with abilities that made them the perfect weapons to use against their most dangerous foes.

They asked peacefully for these monkeys to join their ranks, but we both know monkeys are anything but law-abiding beings.” Nyxaria smiled, and the four gods scratched their heads.

”They refused the heavens’ peaceful offer, and so the heavens chose to use persuasion since diplomacy failed. They sent some of their powerful warriors to destroy Planet Xtar and capture these four monkeys.

It was a dangerous day for the four monkeys. Aside from their unbreakable forcefield, they don’t have any combat ability. They were basically sitting ducks waiting for their capture the moment they ran out of energy to power their force fields.”

Nyxaria observed the expressions on the faces of the four men change, causing her to smile inwardly. ”If I am not mistaken, the four monkeys were at their wits’ end back then.

However, just when they saw their doom falling upon them, their savior came in the form of a strikingly handsome, violet-haired renegade monk who not only slaughtered every last heaven’s bastard, but he even made sure the heavens wouldn’t dare lay their eyes on these four monkeys ever again.”

Nyxaria furled the scroll and stowed it back in her space ring. She studied the four men before her, and a smile appeared on her face.

”These four seniors wouldn’t happen to know these monkeys, would they?” The four men stared at Nyxaria long and hard before Leo asked a question.

”Which of the Paragon guards are you?”

”Cunning,” Nyxaria answered, maintaining her smile.

”I see. I suppose that explains your character.” Cosmo waved his hand, and they appeared inside a room.

Despite being surrounded by four gods, Nyxaria remained calm. It was almost as if she didn’t care that the four men before her were gods who could end her existence with a snap of their fingers.

”We only met the Paragon guard of emotion. I believe her name is Yuying,” Cosmo said, and Nyxaria nodded.

”I suppose this is indeed destiny’s debt. However, may I ask what you want from us? If I am not mistaken, the Paragon doesn’t take lightly to his debts.”

Nyxaria chuckled. ”That was because Yuying keeps making him appear sweet and calm. However, trust me, my master is anything but sweet and calm.”

”Then why did the one we met appear calm and sweet?” Leo asked, and Nyxaria just smiled.

”It was all Yuying’s doing. However, that was in the past. Now, my master will show you all there is to know about him.

However, before that, you four are going to repay his kindness.”

”How are we going to do that? I believe we owe him greatly, so if there is anything you need us to do, we wouldn’t hesitate.”

”I like to hear things like this.” Nyxaria took another scroll from her space ring.

The four space monkeys looked at her weirdly. Most people use high-tech phones for this stuff.

Nyxaria, who knew what they were thinking, smiled, ”I don’t trust technology, so I prefer to write on scrolls.”

The four monkeys said nothing and just smiled.

”There are 47 worlds written on these scrolls, and where to find them. I am not asking you to go to all, but I know that these worlds are dear to my master. If possible, use your large network of Array Experts to set up a powerful shield around these planets.

Nothing fancy, just something that can prevent even an Immortal Emperor from entering. Of course, you can make it so that those who dare force their way in will not appear on the other side.

If you manage to help with this, then consider the debt you owe my master cleared.”

”Just like that?” Luno asked.

”Very easy, right?” Nyxaria smiled. ”Of course, if you four feel like going to the dark side, then you can let me know any day. I will be happy to make arrangements for you to officially become a member of my master’s dark organization.

But until then, do your best to protect these worlds for my master.”

Nyxaria stood up and left.

As the Paragon guard of cunning, she truly was more qualified to handle this mission. Yuying understood Klaus the best, so knowing this time things would be different, she made plans in advance.

Nyxaria’s job is to ensure that people who owe her master, in his nine lives, pay back that debt. She had already visited some places, and now that she had finished with the four-star monkeys, she was headed to the next place.

Meanwhile, the four monkeys who had been waiting for this day their entire life felt like they had just been struck with the most unbelievable news.

”So after waiting for billions of years, he only wants us to protect 47 worlds.” Leo wondered out loud. ”If I didn’t know better, I would say she is messing with us.”

”Same here.”

”Indeed.”

”However, I think she is serious, and since she is a Paragon guard, then it means she was indeed working at the orders of her master,” Luno said.

”True. I sensed no deceit in her words, meaning she indeed just wanted us to protect these 47 worlds.”

”In that case, why don’t we do an even better job and ensure not even Demi-gods will be able to enter this world?” Cosmo proposed, and his brothers nodded.

”He saved our lives and even made sure the heavens don’t dare come against us ever again. In a way, he gave us a peaceful life, the kind we have always sought after.

Since that is the case, we can only ensure that what he holds dear is protected. Since these 47 worlds are dear to him, we can only ensure they are protected.”

Just like that, 47 worlds that were gearing up for battle that they weren’t sure they could win, without even knowing it, had just found the favor of four gods who were known for creating impenetrable defenses.

Until the Paragon of the Nine Stars makes his appearance known, then all those who owe him for actions he took many years ago would step in to protect what he holds dear.

The next few days would see the four gods utilizing their extensive network of Array and formation experts to establish various defenses across these 47 worlds.

In the end, the heavens would find themselves facing the shadows of a Paragon, pissing them off yet again.
