The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 1441: Father-Son Day Out

Chapter 1441: Father-Son Day Out

Being out, walking down the street with his old man felt nice. Klaus didn’t know he needed it, but now that he was experiencing it, he felt happy.

In the past, after he was abandoned by his father and all his siblings, he always dreamed of a day his father would come to love him for who he is.

Being a vampire was what he was and who he was meant to be.

But when they later had that time to reconcile, it was far too late. His mother and wives were already gone. Naturally, a part of him died with them, so he never really felt the emotions he had already imagined.

This time, he was feeling them all.

His mom is alive, and so are all his wives.

“A lot had changed since the last time I was here,” Klaus said, looking around them.

The entire world had undergone several reconstructions over the years, so the places he knew and once visited were nowhere to be seen.

“Evolution doesn’t care about memories. As time passes, so does its expansion,” King Alric replied. “I am even shocked they had preserved some of the things.”

After he stepped down as king, he moved his family to a nearby planet and established himself on one of its moons, becoming the guardian of both that planet and this one.

Of course, as the years passed and more powerhouses began appearing in the Caelmir Royal Family and the military, his assistance was no longer needed, leaving him unbothered for years now.

“Would you have preserved something if you were still the king?”

“Not really. I am not the type that loves to grow attached to material things, so I wouldn’t have bothered with most of the things the current royal family bothered themselves preserving. Also, I am not overly obsessed with the paragon.”

Klaus just laughed.

After walking for a few more minutes, they stopped before a coffee shop and ordered some. They sat down and waited to be served.

Klaus is in disguise, so nobody recognised him as the Renegade Hunter. If that were to happen, his perfectly crafted backstory would sustain a few holes.

As for King Alric, he could just make sure nobody recognised him. As a Celestial, he can easily manipulate one’s memories without them even knowing he did anything.

“How are my siblings, by the way? The last time I came around, you said all of them were in seclusion.” Although they were dicks to him in the past, his seven siblings back then were still family.

“Before you answer that, how many siblings do I have now? I know you had dozens of wives and concubines back then, so how far, old man, have you grown tired of looking for more the last time I advised you,”

King Alric smirked. In his billions of years alive, Magnus and Klaus were the only people who could speak to him freely like that.

They don’t see him as a Celestial. If anything, in their eyes, he was their father who happened to be a dick to them for a few years before getting back to his senses.

Klaus could remember the 15 years before he awakened as a Vampire; he was his old man’s best friend. The relationship they shared was unique, something his seven siblings back then envied.

So King Alric merely smiled when Klaus made fun of him. He was the ladies’ man back then. However, before he left Caelmir after the awakening, he had only 7 children: 3 female and 4 male.

“No thanks to you, some of your stepmothers distanced themselves from me. But even so, you have 128 siblings, all of them alive.”

“Damn old man, you weren’t joking back then when you said you would be creating your own lineage.”

In truth, King Alric had produced 128 children, Magnus excluded. That was during the Paragon of War Era. Now, his descendants numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

He has great, great, great, great grandchildren that even he doesn’t know how many greats came before the grand followed. His descendants grew so much that he had to drag an empty planet from several million light-years away to Caelmir’s planetary system and establish himself on it.

The majority of the people living there are his descendants.

“If we are to talk about all of them, I am sure we wouldn’t be done now, so why don’t you tell me about my seven older siblings?”

King Alric laughed. By then, they had been served their coffee, so he took a sip.

“Eloise, the oldest, had already become a Celestial. She joined the Warrior Tower billions of years ago and had become one of their powerhouses.

Ronan had also become a Celestial. In fact, he led his big sister and two younger ones to the forbidden universe and kept them safe till they all became Celestial. The last I heard, he ventured into a certain calamity zone. That was 2 million years ago.

Sora joined the Flaming Tower, a group of fire mages that work hand in hand with the Heavens Court.

As for Chris, he is somewhere in the demon universe doing God knows what. I stopped paying attention to him since even if one wants to kill him, it would be impossible. His law of self is just that monstrous,”

Klaus smiled, recalling an encounter he had with this particular brother of his. Back when he was ridiculed left, right, and center, Chris once tried to use his superior assassin abilities to bully Magnus.

The duel ended with him losing one hand and being blinded in his left eye. Since then, while he hated Magnus, messing with him was the last thing he did.

“Ah, the good old days.”

“Nixie had joined the Healing Temple. You already know how gentle she is; it turns out she’s a healing mage. She is now one of the top healers in the universe and also a Celestial.

As for the twins, Ryan and Evan, they have joined the Grim Army. Honestly, I don’t know what they do, and I am not interested in knowing. Whatever they do with their lives is their choice.”

“Sounds like they are doing quite well. I am happy for them,”

“Well, as people whose brother was once the Paragon, they fought hard to reach your level and even surpass it,”

Klaus smiled, a bit happy and a bit skeptical. He wondered why some of them would join organizations that seek to destroy the Paragon.

“Don’t think about it. They had already learned their lessons, so if you are worried they would come against you, relax your nerves because they wouldn’t. Unless, of course, they wish to die by my hand,”

Klaus chuckled. “Killing your own children makes you happy, huh?”

A smack landed on his head, causing him to groan in pain.

“I deserve that.”

King Alric smirked but said nothing. However, the fact that he declared he would kill all from his lineage who dared come after Klaus shows he had no plans to turn away from his son this time around.

That shows real character development.

The rest of their coffee went well. Klaus had a lot of questions, and King Alric had all the time in the world to answer every last one of them.

So after coffee, they continued walking around the city, from one place to the next, reminiscing about the past. Before Klaus knew it, nighttime came, and so they decided to grab dinner before heading back.
