Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Atlan looked up at the Queen with an unfriendly look.

After all, the Queen was supposed to help Atlan kill Specialist-level Canzers. When they first entered this special Remedium, he came in with the confidence that the Queen had his back.

He thought that she would come to his aid whenever he found trouble that he couldn't solve.

However, even though they'd been in this place for more than a day, he still couldn't feel the presence of the Queen. It was as if she was gone.

He thought she'd be the one to defeat the Dragon Queen Malificient since they were both dragons, but it turned out, the Enchanted Queen didn't even show up.

This forced Atlan to be the one to kill the Dragon Queen Malificient herself, which was not as easy as it looked. If he didn't have the help of the three good fairies, then he wouldn't have been able to kill the Dragon Queen Malifcient. He, Tulip, Ninth, and the rest of the Specialist Saviors would have been killed.

"You're late," he said, scorning the Queen.

The Enchanted Queen shrugged her shoulders.

'This is not something that I could have interfered with. You can ask the three little fairies over there. The power of the prophecy obscured your location from me. I was unable to find you until you killed the Queen.'

"And what if I didn't? I would have died. I thought we had an agreement."

Her protection was the main reason why he trusted her in the first place. And since she couldn't protect him this time, all his trust in her disappeared.

Not only that, he also realized something back then.

"Also…you didn't tell me the truth."

'Have you finally realized something?' the Enchanted Queen asked, a little bit jokingly.

When Tulip almost died, Atlan was forced to recognize the fact that there were a lot of similarities between the White Canzer and Tulip.

First of all, they were both princesses who were exiled from their castle because of one reason or another.

Then, they both almost died. And a prince was the one who saved them from eternal slumber through a kiss.

Tulip and the White Beauty were also being chased by a Queen who wanted them dead.

This was what Atlan realized.

The Dragon Queen Malificient wanted to kill Tulip because she was prophesied to inherit the kingdom upon the Malificient Queen's death. Tulip was the Malificient Queen's weakness, so the Queen wanted to get rid of her.

Atlan wondered. Was it the same situation with the Enchanted Queen and the White Beauty?

Could it be possible that the White Beauty was also the Enchanted Queen's weakness?

And now that Atlan killed the White Beauty, the Enchanted Queen no longer had a weakness of her own?

Just the thought of it sent shivers down his body.

"Was the White Canzer your weakness?" Atlan asked plainly.

The black dragon looked at Atlan with an amused expression. She didn't think that he would figure this out so soon. But, she wasn't angry that he discovered the secret. She was more impressed at his intelligence.

'Yes. That is right. The White Canzer was indeed my only weakness,' she explained.

Atlan looked up at the black dragon. "This means that you can't be killed by a human. Any human. Even me."

Without a weakness, the Enchanted Black Dragon could no longer be killed by any human. She was practically invincible.

'Fufufu…yes. That is right. I cannot be killed by your kind.'

"And now that the Dragon Queen Malifcieint is dead, there is no Canzer that is strong enough to kill you," Michael guessed.

'You are partially correct. There are still some beings that can kill me, but they are all in hiding. So, yes. In the current world of the Canzers, I cannot be killed by anyone.

That is unless, of course, your little friend over there becomes strong enough to surpass the old Malifcient.'

Atlan glared at the Queen. "Was this the reason you made a contract to help me? You wanted me to be the one to kill the Dragon Queen Malificient?"

The black dragon shook her head. 'I do not have that kind of foresight, Atlan. I wanted to help you because you helped me become invincible against humans. That is the reason why despite your very strong and strange powers, I wanted to become your ally.

I never thought that the Dragon Queen Malifcient would try to kill you and the other humans. I thought she would stay in hiding.'

Atlan couldn't quite believe her story. After all, everything turned out to benefit the Enchanted Dragon Queen even though she did nothing to help. It was all Atlan's efforts.

"Then why are you here now? If you're here to kill Tulip and prevent her from being strong enough to kill you, then I will prove to you that a human can kill you," Atlan warned.

Atlan's words sent a shock to Tulip, making her act defensive around the black dragon.

But the Enchanted Queen shook her head and sighed. 'Is this what you really think of me, Atlan? I am not some malicious being as you think.

I could have killed the White Canzer and gotten rid of my weakness even before you arrived in the Remedium. However, I didn't. I let her live because I didn't want to waste a precious life.

Do you think I would want to kill an innocent baby dragon like her?'

Tulip looked at the black dragon and felt as if she was telling the truth. Now that they were facing dragon to dragon, there was an unspeakable bond between them that could not be explained through normal means.

'Atlan, she's telling the truth. I don't think she's a bad dragon.'

Though Tulip vouched for the Enchanted Queen, he was still hesitant to trust her. She should have told him the truth from the start.

'Atlan, I couldn't help you fight the Dragon Queen Malificient. But I can help you right now. You'll need it. After all, they're coming…'
