The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse
Chapter 1525: The Mad Hunter (7)
Obviously, everyone was prepared to witness the death of a legend: the Mad Hunter and his wife, the Angel of Death, alongside the five blood guards.
Two demigods and five Immortal Lords stood no chance against an army.
However, it soon became clear that they weren’t ordinary warriors. Hunter had killed 15 gods and over 800 demigods, while Lady Elysia killed 8 gods and 745 demigods. The immortals were in the tens of thousands.
That was a feat not even the Paragon had accomplished in this life yet. Unfortunately, the battle was supposed to end for them the moment a Supreme made an appearance.
So when the two Supremes appeared, their deaths had been sealed, and for a moment, it seemed that way.
However, just when the spear was mere inches away from Lady Elysia’s head, a sword appeared, and the Supreme lost his head.
Chills ran down everyone’s spine immediately when the sword appeared, and the head flew up.
Lady Elysia saw it clearly. It was dark from the blade up to the hilt. On the blade’s surface, it looked like liquid mixed with nanites dancing across it. When it was swung, waves of black liquid trailed behind it.
It cut through the Supreme’s neck, severing both flesh and soul.
Lady Elysia stumbled, but before she could fall, a hand grabbed her and held her body in place. A chill went down her spine when she turned, and her gaze met a man who had no colour on his body.
He appeared to have only black-and-white pigmentation, a colour palette that made him look ancient and extremely evil.
He was bald, and since he appeared in black and white, his dark eyes looked even darker than they should have. He was clad in a white cloak that seemed tattered yet surprisingly practical.
"Hi, my name is Gorr."
"Yes, that Gorr."
The gods and demigods pulled back, and even the Supreme, who was attacking Hunter, also retreated, distancing himself from Hunter’s team.
Why?
Because Gorr, the God Butcher, had arrived.
Gorr let go of Lady Elysia and extended his hand, causing his sword to fly back into his grasp. He smiled, his black teeth shining within his monochrome appearance.
"I believe the name should now be Gorr, the Supreme Butcher," he grinned and turned to face Hunter...
"Hi, I believe no introductions are needed. As for why I am here, your son sent me to come fetch you to the Beast Universe."
Hunter nodded and looked at the Supreme, who was staring back at them alongside hundreds of gods and thousands of demigods.
"I am afraid that leaving would be extremely hard."
Gorr nodded.
"Indeed. However, we have no choice but to leave. So how about we make sure they have no choice but to let us go?"
The sword in his hand trembled, releasing so much killing intent that it made even Hunter tremble in fear.
"I will handle the Supreme Lord, Gorr. You can do what you do best and butcher the gods."
"Very well."
Gorr turned, looked at the hundreds of gods, and smiled.
"Hello, and goodbye."
He activated a skill, and at once, 124 gods found themselves trapped in a colourless domain, with Gorr hovering above them.
"NOOOOO..."
Their screams filled the colourless domain as their blood started to spill at the hands of the God Butcher. All those watching from their homes trembled, some gagged, while others outright fainted.
Hunter looked at the display of absolute carnage and smiled. To him, more blood meant more excitement and power. His eyes burned with hunger as he locked gazes with the Supreme.
"Are you sure about this?" Lady Elysia asked, her expression showing anger this time around.
"I had killed a few Supremes before, so adding one more to the list won’t hurt. Also, if I can kill him, then I might just register my first Supreme Sword."
As he said that, 15 swords oozing the power of divinity appeared and hovered before him. When Lady Elysia saw these swords, she sighed.
"Go ahead. I will handle the rest of the demigods."
Hunter nodded and moved, shooting toward the Supreme, who wore a dark expression. Before he could say anything, a god-level sword took a deadly swing at him, causing his body to falter for a second.
Hunter used the chance to slip through his defence and explode a colourless powder before him.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" the Supreme screamed.
Hunter smiled and landed a kick on his face, sending the Supreme flying back, his body weakening as the poison took effect.
Inside Hunter’s Puppet Workshop, five alchemists clad in white cloaks cheered.
Many said Hunter had converted his class from creating puppets to creating swords. However, what they didn’t know was that instead of doing just that, he first cultivated five different professions.
Alchemists, blacksmiths, engineers, artisans, and runesmiths.
They were the beings responsible for the creation of his swords. Over the past 20,000 years, while he slept, these puppets worked around the clock, preparing for the day their master would return to civilisation.
Right now, Uncle Mark’s unconscious body was being cared for there.
The poison Hunter used against the Supreme was something they cooked up called [Supreme Bane]. It was merely a prototype. However, seeing it in action, they cheered and began mass-producing it.
This battle was far from over, so they wanted to make sure that by the time it came to an end, every last soul in the universe would never forget their master’s name.
Screams of pain and anguish filled the battlefield as Gorr butchered the gods, Lady Elysia laid waste to the demigods, Uncle Ziggy, James, Jojo, and Xian massacred the immortals, and Hunter got closer to killing his seventh Supreme.
One moment, they were at death’s door; the next, they had turned things around and started a slaughter.

Klaus smiled inwardly as he watched Gorr fight like a madman.
When he met Gorr during the era of the Paragon of Shadow, he was a broken man who had prayed to the gods to send aid to his planet since a terrible Beast Tide had broken out, and every day, thousands kept dying.
As a former warrior turned monk, he knew that, aside from wishing a good life for his daughter, this time not even he could save her from this calamity.
So he prayed to the gods, but they turned their backs on him.
Before meeting the Paragon, he was one of those who hated him and believed he was a danger to the universe. However, in his last moments, when he held his daughter in his arms and was ready to die, it was the Paragon who arrived and saved them.
It turned out the Paragon had sensed an outbreak in that world, and so he tried to come to their aid. However, he was blocked by 20 gods on the way, delaying his arrival.
But when he did arrive, he saved Gorr and his daughter and took them away.
Later, when he found the Necrosword, Gorr volunteered to wield it and serve him for eternity. Hence, since the Shadow Era, he had wielded the Necrosword, which had claimed the lives of millions of gods.
He was only a demigod, but his sword was a whole different ball game altogether.
’Way to make an entrance, Gorr. Just keep them alive for ten more minutes... I am on my way.’
Klaus noticed Eiko was frozen in shock when Gorr appeared. He wanted to ask why, but on second thought, he allowed her to be.
