Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

This looked like a dungeon prison, with absolutely no way out. There wasn't even a locked door he could try to lockpick or brute force his way out. There was only a circular wall that encased him, which was made out of the same bricks as the dungeon he had come to before.

Atlan summoned his three humanoid puppets and commanded them to use all their strengths to try and break through the walls.

The Huntsman notched an arrow in his bow and shot it into the small gaps between the bricks. With the additional power of the Apocalyptic Hellfire LifeSkill, the arrow exploded into a bluish-green fire the moment it landed.

But as the dust settled, the bricks remained virtually untouched.

Even though the bricks looked old and moldy, there seemed to have been a magical enchantment hidden inside its structure. If even an Intern-level LifeSkill wasn't enough to even chip one of its bricks, then Atlan had no chance of ever brute forcing his way out of this prison.

Of course, he didn't stop his humanoid puppets from trying.

They continued to throw all their powers and their LifeSkills to the walls, hoping that it would give out one way or another.

Meanwhile, Atlan thought to himself.

Why would the Magical Queen trap me here?

Her main goal was to get her hands on Tulip. The reason she abducted him in the first place was to try and get him to help her by convincing Tulip to surrender herself of her own accord.

But when the Queen realized that Atlan would never betray Tulip, she should have tried to kill him.

After all, he was just another obstacle in the way of her goal. The best way to get rid of obstacles was to kill them. After all, she couldn't be entirely sure that Atlan wouldn't escape from this prison. Even if the chance was small, there was still a chance. But if she killed Atlan, then she could be sure that he wouldn't be an obstacle anymore.

Does she think that I'm not worth it to kill? No…I'm the only one Tulip trusts. She needs me to die.

No matter how much he thought about it, it didn't make sense. The Queen should have tried to kill him.

Although it may seem strange that Atlan was worrying about why the Queen didn't kill him instead of being grateful for his survival, Atlan was beginning to think that there was something suspicious going on. He felt like there were things that the Queen knew secretly.

As Atlan continued to think to himself, three blobs of light floated behind him.

These blobs of light seemed to move and float in unnatural ways as if they were sentient or something.

And even though their luminescence in this dark prison should have alerted Atlan of their presence, there seemed to have been an alteration in reality to make Atlan unaware of what was going on behind him.

[A human…]

[Yes…a human…]

[Why is he here?...did Malifecient imprison him as well?]

Surprisingly, the three bobs of light were talking amongst themselves.

And if one looked closely enough, those three blobs of light weren't blobs of light at all! They were tiny floating human-like creatures that were slightly glowing white!

Slowly, they floated over towards Atlan to observe his face a lot closer.

And even though they were staring him in the face, he didn't seem to notice them at all. It was as if they were invisible! They observed his face and his powers but didn't find anything special about him.

This was weird for the three tiny human-like creatures. For a creature to be put in this prison, it had to be of extreme importance. This was the place where the Magical Queen, whom they called Malificient, imprisoned her greatest enemy.

After all, this was a place where no magic, not even fate, could intervene.

A weak human like this should have been eaten or killed by the Queen. She wouldn't have wasted her power in imprisoning him, with how harmless he looked. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

They even started to pity Atlan. Even though he seemed desperate in trying to get out of this prison, the three tiny human-like creatures knew that there wasn't any chance he was going to get out of this place. After all, they already tried it themselves. It was to no avail.

[This guy is wasting his time. There's no way out of this place, no matter how much he tries.]

[I pity him. Should we put him to sleep now to put him out of his misery?]

[Ladies, please. Don't underestimate him. Malificient put him here for a reason. Maybe, he knows the way out. It'll be good for us as well. We need to get to Tulip as soon as possible…]

———

Atlan tried everything possible. He used his Thermal Vision to see if there was any hidden mechanism to allow him to escape, but there was nothing but bricks in this place.

Force didn't work as well. No matter how much they tried to damage the walls, they wouldn't budge even in the slightest bit.

But even when he faced this impossible situation, Atlan didn't panic. After all, he still had one more trick up his sleeve.

He looked down at his Soul System, specifically, his mutations.

— (10-star) Dimensional Lightspeed Angel Wings

——— 15% mastery

——— The user gains 200% of their current speed and allows them to have complete maneuverability in the air. Upon activation of its second ability, the user can traverse different dimensions.

The second ability of his Angel Wings allowed him to traverse different dimensions. When he tried this out in the normal world, he was able to go in and out of the Remedium without the use of a portal.

Now, Atlan thought that he didn't have to use this unless necessary. After all, if he used this ability, he could end up back in the real world and completely abandon his mission.

But, there was also a chance that it could get him out of this situation. And since he was completely trapped here, he had no way else but to take that chance.
