The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1289 - Meticulous Planning

Everything and everyone came to a standstill. The only sound was the wind blowing.

Their complete focus had been shifted to Klaus, who stood calm, a small smile playing on his lips as he gazed back at all of them.

None of them saw him coming. However, when he did, they weren’t prepared for what he brought. He came, and what followed was complete annihilation, leaving all of them stunned for a moment.

Klaus planned meticulously, and it paid off.

In less than a minute, he appeared and killed two True Immortals as if they were nothing in front of him.

Naturally, none of that should have been possible, and this time, even Klaus knew that. However, like he always says, with enough planning, even a god could be killed by a mere mortal.

That saying was put into practice during the Divine War between the immortals (mortals included) and the gods.

Immortals and Mortals worked together to kill gods, showing that nothing is impossible.

When Klaus arrived, Ophelia and the others had just commenced their battle. However, instead of jumping into it like an idiot, he entered the void and, using his Void Laws, moved closer, making sure he got a bigger picture of things.

Klaus knew if he were to face a True Immortal in combat, even with the void, he would struggle. So he waited, and what could have been mere seconds to anyone were long enough for Klaus to make the best plans and come up with the kill moves.

Perhaps nobody aside from Klaus could have pulled off such a feat. After all, the plans he came up with were foolproof. He made sure the moment he stepped out, one True Immortal, no matter what, would be killed.

They were the threat after all.

So, he selected his target and chose the optimal moment to fire the laser. If he had shot him in the chest, the True Immortal wouldn’t have died.

He would have been severely injured, but as someone who had already formed an Immortal Ring, Klaus knew such an injury wouldn’t have stopped him.

It would have even backfired on him.

So he went for the most difficult shot, and it paid off.

But the moment the first True Immortal went down, Klaus knew the second wouldn’t fall to the same gun. It was just impossible.

He would have needed three seconds to charge the laser gun again, which would have been the three most dangerous seconds of Klaus’s life.

So, he went with the best plan he had always had for True Immortals: his Gravity Law.

Although his mastery is only High, with the Heavens Engine harnessing that mastery, he calculated that it would at least force the True Immortal down, long enough to make just two moves.

The first was Fury.

His Soul Fury Forbidden Flame was the first kill move he had always had at the back of his mind when he left Planet Yahmir.

He knew that when it came to it, locking down a True Immortal for just two seconds would be enough to unleash that flame. Thankfully, his calculations were spot on.

So the moment Fury attacks, his second kill move, being the [Grim Void Blade], now possessing Seraya as its weapon spirit, would come in handy.

If Seraya wasn’t the weapon spirit, Klaus would have been forced to drain two cores just to gather enough momentum to attack. However, that was why having weapon spirits is the best thing.

The moment Fury succeeded, it was only a matter of pulling his focus away from the [Grim Void Blade] long enough for Seraya to make her move.

What Klaus never expected was the True Immortal shattering his Immortal Ring for power. It was his last-minute, dangerous attempt to kill Klaus, so he went for it, and he may have had a chance.

Unfortunately for him, he failed to take into account how much planning Klaus had put into his executions. Not even a single second was wasted.

He came with a purpose, and he succeeded without any hiccups.

Now, Desmond and the five remaining Peak Real Immortals could only stare hatefully and shockingly at Klaus, who didn’t seem to place them in his eyes.

It was like killing two True Immortals had inflated Klaus’s ego, and as such, despite staring at five Peak Real Immortals, he didn’t seem to care.

”Who the hell are you?” Desmond asked, his grip on his spear tightening.

Klaus grinned and replied, ”You can call me the Renegade Hunter. I happened to be in the vicinity and, hearing a rescue service was needed on this planet, I was forced to come.” He paused, then made a bold statement.

”Now, if you six don’t want things to get harder than they already are, surrender and let me take you to the mission hall, or come at me and let’s end this like men.”

The scythe on Klaus’s shoulder hummed, releasing a wave of chilling ice. This caused Desmond to take a step back; however, he didn’t falter.

”You are dead meat.”

BOOM

Desmond unleashed his aura, causing Ophelia to be blown back by a couple of meters. Her expression instantly turned pale. Luckily for her, she moved in Klaus’s direction, so he caught her.

But catching her was what Desmond wanted; it was his first move against Klaus. Just when Klaus brought Ophelia to a halt, a spear arrived in front of his face, mere inches away.

Klaus, like always, had already anticipated this and prepared a counter.

Instead of blocking the spear, he tapped into a skill he only uses when he plans on giving a dangerous counterattack without any chance of the opponent dodging.

’Intangible Me’

The spear that could have killed even a Real Immortal passed through Klaus’s head quietly, like it was made of air.

In fact, Desmond was pulled forward, the momentum causing him to lose his balance. The instant he moved through Klaus, the counterattack came.

Klaus swung his scythe with deadly force, aiming to leave a gory wound on Desmond’s back.

However, while the counterattack wasn’t one Desmond had planned for, considering he expected his spear to be either blocked by Klaus or pierce his face as intended, he isn’t a Real Immortal for no reason.

He twisted his body and braced with his spear.

BANG

The impact was as expected. Desmond was hurled through the air and slammed hard into the ground, a large crater forming. The force behind Klaus’s attack was just too much for him to handle.

Klaus turned to Ophelia... ”Keep him company for a few seconds, would you?”

The moment he said that, he charged at one of the Peak Real Immortals, leaving the other four for Ophelia’s guards.

Desmond had sustained a life-threatening injury, and since he doesn’t have an Immortal Ring yet, Klaus knew Ophelia could contain him.

Also, he wanted her to get her revenge. She seemed to hate Desmond more than anything, so with him handicapped, Ophelia had the higher ground to kill her opponent.

”Stella Bow Art:...”

As expected, she wasn’t about to waste the chance. She attacked, and this time, she was pouring all her energy into every single arrow fired.

The threat of the True Immortals is no more.
