The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1586: Grave Outcome

God King clearly wasn’t expecting his arrogant entry to be met with a deadly paw. However, he was severely disappointed. As he found himself crashing toward the ground, he saw that the free entry he expected wasn’t going to happen.

The 4-meter-tall black-and-red Qilin staring at him was his opponent, and as someone with powerful intuition, he could sense that this beast was not so simple.

And he was right. The Primordial Desolation Flame isn’t a simple one. That forbidden flame has the power to create and destroy.

However, Qilin chose to lean more toward the destructive aspect of it. After all, he had nothing to build. So the poor bastard sensed the destruction rooted inside the flames covering Qilin’s body and trembled.

Then again, if he knew everything about Qilin was created from the Primordial Desolation Flame, he would have already made a run for it.

BOOOM

His body crashed into the ground, creating a crater. However, he rose back up, and a whip appeared in his firm grip. The moment the weapon appeared in his hand, he moved, hoping to take down Qilin and go aid his temporary friends.

They hated each other, but for a common goal, they decided to work together.

Unfortunately for them, Rhazor and Amaru had destroyed their plans, and now that he was locked in battle with a deadly beast, if he failed to defeat Qilin, then they might as well forget about leaving here alive.

The bounty on their heads was already huge enough to earn Rhazor some money, after all.

Rhazor was still locked in battle with the three Universal Gods. Every move he made was met with a counter, and every counter that came after him seemed to grow even fiercer.

The last time Rhazor felt this way was when he fought Blood Shadow, who was an Immortal Lord when he was merely a mortal. He knew he was fighting an uphill battle, and to be frank, he hated it.

While all three Universal Gods were merely puppets, they were still Universal Gods. Killing them wouldn’t be simple.

But even if it could be simple for someone like Rhazor, he still had to keep his attention on things while he waited for Icon to finish scanning the crystal and find out the dangers surrounding it.

So basically, if he used the Lotus of Destruction now, he wouldn’t be able to use it when a real danger appeared. He was already using his Flame Spirits in battle, so using the Lotus of Destruction more would drain them easily.

So for now, he remained optimistic while weaving his way out of one attack.

Suddenly, an arrow zipped past Rhazor, causing him to turn to his left.

There in the air, a man clad in green armor locked another arrow onto him. He had no time to evade since one of the Universal Gods unleashed a spear thrust at his head.

Just then, a hammer came falling toward his head from the second Universal God, and an arrow came from the third Universal God.

But while their attacks were packed with great power, his skull went numb when the arrow of the fourth person locked onto his body.

This newcomer was just a True God, but with great power. Rhazor had no idea where he came from, but he wasn’t about to let him get away.

But first, he had to handle the arrow flying toward him. Rhazor waved his hand, and a spear shot toward the arrow.

BANG

The arrow and spear collided, and the shockwave was immediate.

Both weapons were blasted back, and Rhazor, who used his mind to control the spear, felt a wave of pain pass through it. Luckily, he had more than one mind, so he switched to a new one.

Rhazor had no time to worry about the new archer since he had to handle three deadly attacks at the same time.

His body twisted at an unnatural angle, and before the hammer could hit him, he kicked the spear, causing it to crash into the hammer. Then he used his left hand to block the arrow from the third Universal God.

He moved back and then stomped the ground, causing flames to burst out. Using the chaos, Rhazor used the void to move and appear before the second Universal God, grabbing hold of his spear.

His left hand moved, and a slap echoed across the battlefield, causing heads to turn.

Three spears, controlled using his mind, followed the poor bastard, who had no idea his death was imminent. The moment the spears appeared before him, his body moved and evaded two, but the third landed on his shoulder.

Of course, there was no need to worry about a minor injury. However, the moment the spear landed, a terrible poison seeped into the body of the Universal God, and his body started to corrode.

After the evolution of his poison, Rhazor knew its terrifying power would now affect even Universal Gods, and it did. The moment the poison set in, the Universal God felt his body slow down and begin to grow weak.

The moment weakness spread through his body, panic flashed across the Universal God’s face.

’Poison?’

That was the only thought that came to his mind as he desperately circulated his energy, hoping to suppress the corrosive force invading his flesh.

Unfortunately for him, Rhazor’s poison was no longer something ordinary.

The corrosive energy spread through the Universal God’s meridians like a raging flood, devouring everything in its path.

His movements slowed.

His reactions dulled.

Even the flow of power within his body slowed considerably.

Rhazor naturally wasn’t the kind of person to miss such an opportunity. He knew the only way out was to take out one of the fake Universal Gods, so he could make room for more opponents.

The moment he sensed the change, Rhazor’s body vanished, and void ripples spread through space.

The weakened Universal God’s eyes widened.

"Behind you!" one of the other Universal Gods roared, the first time any of them had spoken out loud, at least.

But the warning came too late.

Rhazor stepped out of the void directly behind him, his hand already reaching forward.

The Universal God instinctively tried to turn around and thrust his weapon, just like anyone in this dire situation would have done.

However, his poisoned body failed him.

Everything felt heavier.

Everything felt slower.

By the time the spear moved, Rhazor’s claw had already reached his back. Rhazor may have been just an Immortal Monarch, but his attack power rivaled even the Gods.

"[Beast God Claw Art: Domain Cutter.]"

SWOOOSH!

Five black claw arcs tore through space, tearing the void along their trajectory.

The Universal God’s defensive barrier shattered instantly, and his armor exploded.

Blood sprayed through the air as claw marks extended from his shoulder all the way to his waist, nearly splitting his body apart.

"AAARRRGHHH!"

A painful scream erupted from his mouth as he flew backward.

But before he could regain control of himself, the three spears controlled by Rhazor changed direction again.

One attacked his chest.

One targeted his neck.

The final spear aimed directly for his head.

The Universal God’s expression turned pale. He never expected Rhazor to be that decisive, at least not when he was merely an Immortal in his eyes. However, he was mistaken.

From the moment Rhazor made up his mind to kill him, he had already died. Such was the terror of fighting a Paragon. When it came down to killing, a Paragon didn’t make mistakes.

The Universal God wanted to dodge.

He wanted to counter.

But the poison spreading through his body made even simple movements difficult.

Meanwhile, not far away, the mysterious archer in green armor narrowed his eyes. A thought crossed his mind as he watched the battle unfold, wondering whether the outcome of what he came for would benefit him or bring him grave consequences.
