Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

"What are you talking about?" Atlan asked.

'I heard it. In the last dredges of her life, the Malifcient Dragon Queen made a global announcement to the entire Canzer society,' the Enchanted Queen said.

Atlan did not like the sound of that.

"What did she say?" he asked her.

'She told everyone that the Magical Kingdom is up for grabs. Anyone that could kill the humans that killed her would inherit the entire Kingdom for themselves,' the Queen said with a grave voice.

Atlan frowned. That was definitely not a good sign for them. After all, if he treated Canzers just like humans, then there would definitely be a lot of Canzers who would be tempted to go after them.

"Why is this kingdom any good in the first place? Why are Canzers so hell-bent on becoming its ruler?"

'A kingdom allows a Canzer power and influence, unlike anything they had ever seen before. Not only could they have thousands of Canzers under their banner, but their strength would also increase manifold. This is because in the Canzer world, status equals power. The more influential you become, the stronger you can get.'

Atlan finally understood why the Canzers wanted to become the ruler of a Kingdom. If Atlan also shot up to become a Specialist-level Savior by simply becoming the ruler of a kingdom, then even he would be tempted to fight for the inheritance.

'As soon as I heard that, I knew that you were going to be in trouble,' the Queen said.

"Do you think there's going to be a lot of them?" he asked.

And before the Queen could answer his question, they suddenly heard a rumbling in the distance. Trees were being shot off into the skies, a cloud of dust emerged, and a mixture of power and pressure emanated from all sides.

'There must be thousands here…most of them at the Specialist level,' the Queen said.

"Damn. I thought it would at least be a combination of small fries who want a quick shot at becoming stronger. Why is it all Specialist-level Canzers?" Atlan asked.

'These Canzers are strong, but they are not the strongest. If they don't become a royal and rule their own kingdom, then they will never be able to surpass their current strength. It makes sense that there's a lot of Specialist-level Canzers trying to fight for the kingdom,' the Queen explained.

'Oh no…oh no…what are we going to do?!' Tulip panicked.

Even though Atlan had become a Specialist-level Savior, he still wasn't confident in fighting thousands of Canzers at the same time.

Yes, he could always multiply himself into the thousands, but so could the other Canzers.

He wasn't just fighting one being like the Dragon Queen Malificient, he was fighting against thousands of different unique Canzers. This meant that he would have to find the weakness of a thousand different Canzers, which would be an impossible task for other people.

"Why are we even still in this Remedium?" Ninth asked from the side. "The Dragon Queen is dead. We should be returning to the normal Remedium by now."

"It doesn't work that way," Atlan answered, translating the Queen's answer. "We need to defeat this last horde because it is still an attack from the Queen beyond her death. She summoned this horde."

Even though Ninth and her team had recovered from their previous injury thanks to Tulip's help, they still weren't in any shape to fight a thousand more Specialist-level Canzers. They barely even had enough energy to stand up, much less fight another horde of Canzers.

Thankfully, Atlan was more than energized to fight. He had just gotten a lot of power from killing the Dragon Queen Malificient, so he was raring to fight.

If his Cherubic Retribution was still at the Specialist level, Atlan would have simply multiplied himself by a thousand times and led each of his clones to target a single Canzer by themselves.

However, it wasn't that strong anymore. It was back at the Student level.

And even if Atlan put his Cherubic Retribution to his puppets, which would immediately turn the LifeSkil into an Intern-level LifeSkill, it still wouldn't be enough to deal with the Specialist-level Canzers.

He needed the powers of the three good fairies.

"Can you help me? Can you give me that power again?" he asked them.

Unfortunately, the three good fairies all shook their heads. 'It is not that easy, young human. We had given you all that we had when you fought the Dragon Queen Malificient. We are also recovering our strength so we cannot spare you any strength.'

Atlan bit his lips. Without their help, he would have to rely on himself. Even though it would be a lot harder, he could still use his previous tactic. He would give his Cherubic Retribution to his puppets and let them attack the horde of Canzers.

Even though it would take at least a couple of lightning strikes, it would probably be enough to kill the Canzers.

'Hahaha,' the Enchanted Queen laughed as she saw the worried look in Atlan.

"What are you laughing about?" he asked her, a bit annoyed.

'Why are you worrying so much? Did you forget that I am here?' the Enchanted Queen asked.

"Are you going to help me this time? I almost forgot that we were allies this time. After all, you didn't help me with the Dragon Queen Malificient."

'I told you, I couldn't help you back then. But now, I am here. I'll earn your trust back by taking care of this. You don't have to do anything,' the black dragon said.

And just as she said, the Enchanted Queen looked up at the skies and soared to the heavens, showing its majestic appearance to the thousands of hungry Canzers in the distance.

GRAOOO!

She screamed. This sent a shiver down the Canzers' spine. All those who were hesitating for a fight immediately turned back around and left the place.

But most of them still went on. This was a chance for a lifetime for them.
