The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse - Chapter 595

Chapter 595: The GameShow (5)

“I have seen a lot of things in my life and participated in a lot of abnormal things, but for the first time in my life, I just don’t understand what is happening,”

Overlord Isaac said, looking toward Union City where Reaper was killing the alliance warriors by the dozens every second with a shocked expression…

The six overlords currently present just couldn’t believe their eyes. From the start until now, nothing made sense.

Klaus had been in control since the beginning, and even after clashing with an Ascendant, instead of dying, he just respawned and took control of his mind, turning him into his weapon.

“Does this mean he is stronger than us?” Overlord Mira asked, not liking where this was going at all. In fact, the other overlords all held the same thought.

“That is absurd. We are all at Level 8, while that assassin was at Level 1. If anything, the question you should be asking is whether we can kill him easily. The idea of him being stronger than us is absurd, but he is very capable, though,” Overlord Dharma said.

“We don’t even know where his real body is, and the fact that he can use a clone to face an Ascendant is just too much. No human should be this strong… not even the Leader,” Overlord Sorrine added.

“Dharma, can you tell us what is happening? Use your special eyes to see if you can discern what is going on,” Overlord Jose from the Southern Union said.

Dharma nodded and tapped the bridge between his eyes. A pink energy burst from his eyes, immediately scanning the battlefield.

“Strange. I tried seeing the true nature of the clones, but it seems they aren’t clones,” Dharma said while doing a second scan.

“But how?” Overlord Jose asked, not understanding what was happening.

“I don’t know, but these clones feel more like illusions to me. I have never seen a clone like this before, but I have encountered enough illusions to know when I see one,” Dharma said.

The overlords looked at him with dumbfounded expressions.

“If they are just illusions, does it mean he has found a way to weaponize illusions? But that shouldn’t be possible, right? Illusions can only affect the mind, not the body,” Overlord Mira said in shock.

“How monstrous…”

Klaus, who had felt Overlord Dharma’s presence just now, raised an eyebrow, chewing on his popcorn.

He wasn’t taking any chances, so when he sensed his presence, he was ready to battle a stronger opponent. But a few seconds later, the presence disappeared.

“Looks like they have figured out the illusion…” Klaus muttered. “Then, should I make this much more serious? I should just keep using [Reality Check].”

Klaus wondered. He had received an overpowered illusion technique when he awakened the illusion-type bloodline… However, he saw no need to use it.

[World of Illusion] is the ultimate illusion technique. To use it, he only had to use his mind to create any illusion he could visualize.

He also has 25 brain spaces he can utilize.

“Nah, I will just go to the 4th game… It’s not like they have any trump cards left.”

The battlefield was in chaos.

Duncan and the seven others were still screaming on the ground, shocking everyone. Klaus had literally made him useless, showing everyone that not even the leader of the Legacy family could escape his wrath.

The warriors were just running about, fearing for their lives. However, none were able to escape the containment Klaus created using the soul strength of his uncles.

The Dark Order had brought all remaining 32 of their Dark Lords, hundreds of their Great Sages, and thousands of their Sages and Saints.

But at the moment, they had lost over half of their assassins, and more were about to die now that Klaus had killed their leader.

“For the 4th game,” Klaus said, taking out the sword box and making it float beside him.

“I have 100 swords inside; each sword will claim 100 lives. This means that after this exercise, 10,000 of you will be dead. There are only 12,435 remaining, and that includes those of you hiding.

Of course, I am nothing if not fair and just. So here is the rule: the sword will attack you only once. If you manage to defend against it, you will be one of the fortunate ones to pass the fourth trial.”

Klaus smiled and snapped his fingers, opening the sword box on both sides. The warriors turned pale, but there was no mercy in Klaus’s face… so the swords moved, and the next second, screams shook the entire battlefield.

The 100 swords inside the sword box shot forward and began claiming lives. As he said, those who managed to deflect the swords were not attacked again, giving them a moment of peace.

But the cruelty was just too much.

Klaus is too cruel. Many began calling him a demon because he was just being too cruel. He is killing without considering the feelings of his opponents.

Four minutes later, only 2,435 remained, including Duncan and three others still screaming on the ground.

Nobody knew whether [KKKickinIt] had any past bad dealings with them, but the fact that one of her many cameras was aimed at him the entire time was very concerning.

But she wasn’t one to care. She was just reporting on the battle like everyone else, and so far, she wasn’t making anyone look away from Duncan, who was reduced to a miserable, weak, and useless warrior.

“Congratulations on making it this far. It has already been an hour, and there are 2,435 of you left. Of course, there are also 60 more minutes to go before this game ends.

I know most of you are tired, so as your host, I will give you a moment to rest. There will be one last game, and that will determine whether any of you get to leave here alive or not.

Don’t blame me. I allowed you to leave, but you didn’t take it. Your greed got the best of you, and as shameless as it was, you joined the side that chose to attack my family while I was away.

“Seeing this now, do you believe me when I said a couple of months ago that I have the power to bring down an entire legacy family? I made the statement, and most of you called me arrogant. Now, you are witnessing it.

I won’t go after your families after this. They did nothing to me. Unless they raise their weapons against me, I will treat them like everyone else I meet…I will treat them like humans.

But since you all chose to side with those who went after my family, then know that this is what you’ve gotten yourselves into. The overlords can’t help you, so prepare for the final game. If you survive, I will let you live.”

10 minutes passed.

Klaus snapped his fingers, and the temperature started to drop steadily. A green ice began filling the space as more and more minutes passed.

Within those minutes, Duncan couldn’t handle the Face of Despair anymore, so he succumbed in the most torturous way possible. A few dangerously injured individuals also died now, leaving only 2,400.

“For the 5th game…I will be sending you into an illusion where you will relive a moment in your life when you did something very bad against your fellow human.

“All you have to do is survive this moment because in the illusion, instead of you repeating the same actions, the one you wronged will be the one doing to you what you did to them.

This means if you stabbed them in the back, they will stab you in the back…and you will die because I will enforce it.

But if you’ve never done anything like that, then you are safe and will get to live after the 5th game.”

By the time Klaus was done speaking, everyone was within the hypnotic ice. Klaus smiled and snapped his fingers, making the ice lotus bloom appear and replace the lightning source diagram.

It looked majestic in green, filling the entire sky with its power…

“Without further ado, let the 5th Game begin:

“Hypnotic World of Betrayal: Reversal.”
