The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1040: The Vile and Evil Asmodeus

"Kekekekekee..."

An evil laughter filled with a bone-chilling aura spread across the battlefield, causing every last warrior to shudder. On the battlefield, there is only one set of warriors, each a fla demon with their horns lit on flas.

The mont a fla demon’s horn lit on flas, it ant they were ready for battle.

However, right as the laughter spread, every last fla lit on their horns died down. Their bodies grew tense, and what was even worse, the opponents they ca to fight were nowhere to be seen.

"The contractor is here... run."

"The vile and evil Asmodeus is here... run."

The commanders of the Fla Demon race panicked and issued an order to retreat. In fact, they started running before they gave the order.

As peak Domain stage warriors, their retreat speed was several tis faster than that of most of their soldiers. This naturally ant the worst wouldn’t happen if even one of them managed to escape and report the appearance of the one person none of them expected to et on the battlefield.

However, as if looking to shatter their resolve and put them through despair, a 400-ter-long bone dragon flapped its bony wings, and the entire battlefield was covered in necrotic energy.

From the distance where the three Domain stage warriors were retreating, another bone dragon appeared, using its wings to send the three Domain stage fla demons flying back.

On its head, a lone figure in a mask stood holding a bone-like staff engraved with ancient runes.

If one proficient in runes were to see this, they would raise their brow and shout, "Are you ntal?"

To everyone, writing words like "Paragons rock," "Fuck the heavens," "Paragons are the Best," "I love paragons" was like asking the heavens to punish you in the most painful way.

However, this person held a staff lined with these words.

Naturally, this person was Asmodeus.

"The contractor..."

One of the Domain stage fla demons muttered, wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth. The fear in his eyes was overwhelming...

Asmodeus looked at this and smiled behind his mask.

"Are you married?" He asked the man, who shook his head in response.

Asmodeus then looked at the second and asked the sa question. He, too, was not married. However, the third one was married and had one child.

When Asmodeus heard this, his smile brightened. "I will give you an offer, and depending on how you answer, I will either make your wife a widow and your child fatherless, or you get to go ho."

The man’s body shuddered.

Asmodeus ignored this reaction. He wasn’t after their reaction but an answer.

"The offer is simple: Would you willingly kill yourself to let the ones you love live, or should I do it myself and later add your wife and child to the mix?"

This ti, all the blood drained from the man’s face. The offer, which was supposed to give him a chance to go back to his family, ant he must die first.

Naturally, he didn’t even have a choice in the matter, and looking at the dragons behind Asmodeus, he knew he had to make a choice. Escaping was not an answer...

The dragons were much faster despite being a few levels lower than him.

"I want my family to live." He retrieved his sword, and before any of the fla demons beside him could act, he drove it through his heart, ending his own life.

Asmodeus laughed behind his mask. "A true man. He actually gave his life in exchange for his family." Asmodeus waved his hand, and the body floated toward him.

He grabbed the sword and pulled it out of the man’s chest. Then he pressed his finger against his forehead. In that very mont, the retreating Fla Demon army appeared within 1 km of Asmodeus, along with the two Domain stage fla demons left.

When they saw one of their commanders floating in the air with his hands hanging loose, they all lost their will to live.

Asmodeus ignored them, knowing his bone dragon hovering over them was more than enough to handle them.

He pressed his finger against the man’s forehead for several minutes. When he pulled back, a look of ecstasy appeared in his eyes, which could even be seen from the openings in the mask.

"I knew it. You are the descendant of the Fla Demon King from that era." Asmodeus laughed wickedly. His finger turned into a sharp cutter and cut a small opening on the man’s forehead, drawing deep black blood.

He pressed the blood against his forehead, and for a mont, he felt his body grow weak. However, none dared attack him.

The man before them was soone even Demon Kings and Queens feared. He was soone people like them wouldn’t even be able to kill, for he is not a living being.

They said whenever he appeared on a battlefield, not even a fly would be left alive. So the fact that he hadn’t killed them yet was no excuse for them to attack while he was vulnerable.

They couldn’t kill him, and the result of trying would be their death.

After a couple of minutes, Asmodeus raised his head and laughed.

"Finally, after years of searching, I have found your whereabouts. Old friend, the promise I made you, I will fulfill it. I will raise you from the dead and use your own hands to kill your entire lineage."

Asmodeus’ voice turned cold. "I trusted you, and you betrayed my trust. You went against my master and nearly succeeded in killing him."

The fla demons standing before him and 1 km from him shuddered. "I killed you back then, but that was rely the first part of my revenge. The second is the way."

Asmodeus flew and landed on the head of the bone dragon and snapped his finger. "The vile and evil Necrotic Domain."

The color in the air vanished, leaving only black and white. It covered all warriors on the battlefield, causing screams to start coming from them.

"Hellfire Refinent."

The mont Asmodeus said this, the screams turned hoarse, and their painful cries spread far and wide, reaching several thousand miles in all directions.

It went as far as reaching the kingdoms of so of the demon states. However, as if knowing what was happening and who was responsible, none even attempted to go to their rescue.

Two hours later, the screams died down.

Asmodeus looked at this and smiled.

"Arise," he commanded, and five figures rose from a portal that appeared on the ground. Three were the Domain stage fla demons, and the other two were also at the Domain stage, but only at the 3rd level.

The color in the air was restored, and five bone dragons appeared. "You five, from now onwards, will be known as the Five Riders of Evil."

They nodded and jumped on the heads of the dragons.

Asmodeus waved his hand, and all of them vanished. He turned and was about to command his dragon to fly toward the kingdom of the Fla Demons when a star tattoo appeared on his forehead.

In an instant, mories of a life he had lived many years ago poured into his mind, causing him to smile. "I knew it, I was dreaming nonsense... I really was a subordinate of a Paragon, and that Fla Demon King did betray ."

His words hadn’t even ended when a voice descended from the sky... "Asmodeus, buddy, get your ass over here."

Asmodeus vanished from the dragon’s head. The next instant, the dragon transford into light and flew into the sky. In the clouds, a spell diagram opened. It entered and vanished.

Back on earth, a masked man appeared in a similar spell diagram where the faces of nine identical Nonuplets, a handso, white-haired young man, and a Fairy greeted him.

"I am back..."
