Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Atlan thought that Tulip would deny his request outright. At least, he thought that she would think it through for a long time before ultimately rejecting it.

After all, being tamed could be considered a demeaning action, especially to a dragon like her. Now that she had reached the peak of her ultimate form, she was no longer the simple Tulip that she was before. She was now the Queen of the kingdom and the ruler of the skies.

'Hehehe tame me, Atlan!'

But contrary to all his expectations, Tulip agreed to his words as soon as he stopped talking. It was as if she wasn't even listening in the first place.

"Are you sure about this, Tulip? This isn't some simple contract. Being tamed means that you will always be connected to me. It means that I will always be able to summon you whenever I want, and wherever I want."

Instead of getting afraid of those words, Tulip instead became very shy, putting both of her dragon hands on her head and shaking her head shyly.

'Connected…with Atlan…at all times…hehehe…'

Seeing her unable to think properly, Atlan looked to the three good fairies for help.

"Can you help her make sense of this?"

At this point, Atlan wanted Tulip to reject his request. He was worried for her because she answered his request too easily. And since the three good fairies were Tulip's parents, he hoped that they would convince her to go out of this decision.

'Congratulations, honey!'

'You bagged a good one there!'

'This is cause for celebration!'

The three good fairies ignored Atlan and swarmed Tulip. And with their powers, they made fireworks in the sky. They were celebrating more now than they were celebrating surviving the Queen!

It was quite an absurd sight to see.

"What's wrong with you all?" he asked the three good fairies. "Don't you want to protect your child from being tamed by me?"

The red fairy looked at Atlan and smiled. 'Human, this is all part of the prophecy too. It is said that after triumphing against the Malificient Queen, the inheritor and the chosen one will intertwine and live happily ever after.

We thought you two would mate and become lovers. But, becoming tamed is good too.'

Atlan sighed. He shouldn't have expected them to be on his side. They were also trying to further their cause.

'It's okay, Atlan. I know what I'm doing,' Tulip said. 'You have always protected me whenever I needed it. You even sacrificed yourself just so that I wouldn't be abducted by the Queen.

Now that I have the power, I want to repay all that you've done for me. I want to become tamed so that whenever you need me, you can call on me and I will go to your aid.'

Atlan looked at Tulip and saw the sincere intentions in her eyes.

He smiled. It seemed that he was underestimating Tulip. She was no longer the innocent Canzer that she was before. She was a dragon, who could think and decide for herself.

"Fine. It's your decision."

Atlan closed his eyes and focused on the new LifeSkill planet in his Soul System.

And as he did, he suddenly felt something change in his vision. Somehow, even with his eyes closed, he could see the outline of Tulip in front of him. He could see a fire inside her body.

Somehow, he felt like he could touch that fire. He felt like he could interact with it.

He knew instinctively what to do.

His 'soul' left his body and traveled towards Tulip. And in this strange, dark, world, Atlan grabbed Tulip's fire inside her body.

And once he did, a connection was established between the two of them. A red line was suddenly connected from his heart to her heart, allowing him to feel her presence no matter where he was.

[Connection established with the Serene Dragon.]

[Taming….]

[Complete!]

[You have tamed the Serene Dragon. You can summon your tamed being at any time you want.]

[You can change your tamed being's appearance whenever you are out of the Remedium.]

Somehow, Atlan felt stronger than he was before.

Even when he had officially stepped into the Specialist realm, it felt like his natural bump had been increased once again.

It's probably because I tamed a strong being.

He was still not getting used to the fact that he was now on the same level as Ninth and the others. It felt like nothing had changed, but in truth, everything had changed.

His body felt super strong. Even when he wasn't using the False Mutation of his Angel Wings, he could now move freely even with the immense weight of the battle suit he was wearing. He could jump, run, and swim, much faster than when he didn't have his battle suit before.

Just then, the whole Remedium reverberated. It was subtle, but beings like Atlan and Tulip could feel the difference from a mile away.

'Something's coming,' Tulip said. 'And…it feels familiar…it feels like—'

Before she could even say something, the space in the sky suddenly split apart, creating a crevice in reality itself.

Then, a creature from beyond suddenly put his hands out, grabbing the edges of the crevices and opening them larger with its bare hands.

Just from the hand alone, which was full of scales, Atlan knew what he was looking at.

'It's…it's….it's another Dragon!' Tulip shouted in fear.

A black dragon with immense pressure and size came out of the portal, showing itself to Atlan and Tulip.

The poor Serene Dragon was terrified. After all, even though she was a dragon now, she still wasn't used to her strength. Compared to a real dragon with decades and decades of experience, she would be of no use. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

'Atlan…le–leave…now…I'll..I'll. ta-take care of this….'

Even though Tulip was scared to her wits, she still put herself in between the black dragon and Atlan. Even if she was going to sacrifice her life to save Atlan, then she would gladly do so.

But Atlan put his hand up to stop her.

"You don't have to," he said. "We know each other."

The black dragon smiled, looking down at Atlan.

'You've done quite a lot while I was gone,' said the Enchanted Queen. She was the first Dragon Atlan encountered, and the one he had a contract with.
