The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 1523 - 1523: The Mad Hunter (5)

“Die, demon!”

Three demigods managed to get within three meters of Uncle Ziggy and attack, all three of them thrusting their spears at him, thinking they could use the range to their advantage.

But they were mistaken.

Uncle Ziggy smirked and spun his left revolver, three shell cases falling out as his other hand moved and sheathed the other revolver.

Then, like the gunslinger he is, he flicked his hand, and three bullets appeared, each coated in a very tough metal.

Those were gifts Klaus gave him a few days before the planet’s awakening. He had used some, but he still had quite a few left.

Smoke came from the muzzle of the revolver.

Then, with a smile on his face, his hand holding the bullets spun the cylinder, and the three bullets were inserted, each insertion accompanied by a trigger pull.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The spears that came at him stopped mere inches away from him. The next moment, they fell alongside the three demigods.

Uncle Ziggy looked at the three bodies that fell, and a smile formed on his face, which soon turned into laughter.

“Damn, I make this look good.”

The holes created in their heads widened, and blood flew from inside, entering the revolver in his hand. Since both revolvers are soul-bound to him, they grow stronger as he does and vice versa.

He turned away, unsheathed the other revolver, vanished from where he stood, and went after his next target.

It had been five minutes since the battle had started, but from the look of things, by the time the second and third units arrived, they would all be dead.

Hunter had already killed the third god and had turned his full attention to the demigods. Uncle Ziggy and the others were focused on the immortals, but they also handled the demigods that came their way.

Had it not been for this sudden attack, Klaus’s parents and uncles would have reached the Beast Universe within the next seven days. However, now that they had been stopped, they could only fight for their lives, knowing that if help didn’t arrive, this might be their last battle.

All over the universe, many were sharing their opinions on this battle.

To many, it was not needed, considering the Paragon himself hadn’t done anything worth killing his parents for. They knew the Heaven’s Court hated him and perhaps the entire Demon Universe.

However, going as far as killing his parents was a bit excessive.

Some also believed killing the Paragon’s parents was only right, considering he was viewed as the most dangerous threat to the universe. They still held the notion that the Paragon was here to destroy the universe.

The views of many seemed to shape the narrative in both directions, making things hard for Heaven’s Court.

But what many didn’t know was that the Heaven’s Court was already prepared to sacrifice the entire 500,000 warriors of the 25th Heaven’s Army if it would give them enough time for the main executioners to arrive.

By calculation, they would reach the scene of the battle in 30 minutes.

Their target, of course, was the Paragon. They knew full well that he would appear. With the lives of his parents on the line, he wouldn’t stand and watch.

Seated at the academy with Eiko, Klaus held a calm look on his face as he watched his father and uncles kill like they were born to reap lives.

“I have heard stories and seen some videos of the legendary Mad Hunter, but watching him live in action, I now understand why he was crowned the most outstanding demon to ever come out of the Demon Universe.”

Eiko smiled, her fists clenched as she gazed at the screen showing the battle.

Klaus said nothing, but a smile could be seen on his face as he watched his uncles and father fight. He had never seen his father in action before, so this was a first and perhaps the start of many battles.

If what Eiko and others online said could be trusted, then his father would be a good hunting partner once they reunited.

“Klaus, do you know why I admire the Mad Hunter?” Eiko asked, turning to look at Klaus.

“Can’t say I have the faintest idea.”

“It is simple. He was so talented that he completely transformed his Job Class. It was said that he awakened the Obsidian Demon Puppeteer Class. However, instead of cultivating puppets, he cultivated swords.

Many would have killed to have such a Class. However, he did, and instead of appreciating it, he transformed it into something else entirely.

Now, look at him. It appears his recklessness actually paid off. He is like a thousand demigods in one body.” Eiko giggled.

“20,000 years ago, they speculated he had about 10,000 swords. Now, I don’t know how many he has managed to create.”

“Looks like he is the real deal,” Klaus muttered, watching as swords moved about, making the demigods and immortals curse the day they were born.

His focus turned to his mother, who, for the first time since the battle had begun, stood up.

—

Just when she stood up, two large ships arrived, and thousands of immortals, demigods, and gods appeared.

“Die, you miserable scum!” A goddess wielding a whip moved and struck, her whip lashing toward Uncle Mark, who had no time to turn his shield around and block.

Even so, he didn’t panic, not when the Mad Hunter had his back.

Today, however, it was Elysia who saved him. Just when the whip was a meter away, a slender hand grabbed it and yanked forward, sending the goddess flying toward her.

Before the goddess could make sense of what had happened, she appeared before the gate of the underworld, her mind still unsure how she had died.

To the rest of the universe, however, the most shocking sight greeted them. Even Klaus was taken aback by how his mother killed the goddess.

Just when the goddess was yanked forward, a silver sword flashed through the air, reflecting the flames of Uncle James’s boomerang.

No sword light or arc came out. It was a casual swing, and with no wound on her body, the goddess dropped dead. This sight shocked many, finally prompting them to recall who had joined the battle.

“The Angel of Death. Every swing of her sword aims to kill,” Uncle Ziggy remarked, as he was one of the privileged ones to witness how the goddess was killed.

Lady Elysia turned and looked at the others who had charged toward her. “You can only have yourselves to blame.”

With that, she became a blur, and bodies began to fall.

She moved at such speed that tracking her and stopping her attacks were far beyond the demigods. But she had no plans on killing immortals. Her targets were the gods. They posed the greatest threat since Hunter was already handling the demigods.

A few minutes later, another ship arrived, and the pressure increased again. However, Hunter summoned more swords while the Blood Guards also increased their pace.

The battle soon became bloody as more and more warriors kept arriving.

Fifteen minutes into the battle, Klaus’s parents and uncles were surrounded on all sides. Over half of the 25th Heaven’s Army had arrived, and the battle had finally taken form.
