Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Their disbelief was logical. After all, they were also a team of Specialist Saviors. And compared to other teams in Genesis City or the world, they were considered to be one of the best out there.

But even then, the best they could do was fight against two Specialist-level Canzers at once. That was their limit.

But somehow, Atlan was able to kill a thousand of them. Not three, not ten, not a hundred, a thousand!

This was a scary number.

But perhaps the most surprising fact out of all of them was that Atlan used no kind of construct to defeat them. They simply died with that one attack.

This overturned everything they knew about Canzers. They always thought that they needed to use constructs to defeat Canzers no matter if they were just at the Student level or in the highest level Specialist realm.

They thought that Atlan simply wanted to kill the thousand Canzers just so that they could be bought enough time to run away.

They were even expecting the Canzers to suddenly respawn from those ashes. But after a few seconds, nothing happened. The Canzers were dead. They couldn't regenerate or spawn any clones!

This was a mind-blowing fact that they couldn't understand.

"This is because of my angel power," Atlan explained.

Ninth and the rest of the team looked up at Atlan, who had pure white feathered angel wings on his back.

They all looked at him with disbelief.

But before they could even say anything else, something rumbled in the ground.

They were all forced to look around.

'Humans…the price you pay for killing me is not something you can afford.'

Surprisingly, Atlan and the rest of them heard the voice of the Dragon Queen Malificient echoing in the forest.

This made Atlan wary of his surroundings, thinking that somehow, the Dragon Queen Malificient was able to regenerate from her death and come back to finish him off.

Tulip also became afraid. She turned back into her Canzer form and stayed close to Atlan.

"How is she alive?" Atlan asked the Enchanted Queen.

The black dragon looked up at the skies and smelled the air. Even she was surprised that the Dragon Queen Malificient was still able to speak beyond her death.

'She isn't alive. She is dead. This is merely a remnant of her power. She must have left more of her magic before her death, more than I thought.'

The Queen thought that Malificient only used the remnant of her power to announce to the world that her kingdom was up for grabs. But it looked like she had something else planned as well.

'You may have won the fight, but you lost the war,' the Dragon Queen Malificient's voice echoed.

'No. We won,' Tulip uttered out loud. She couldn't help but speak up against the Dragon Queen Malificient.

But since this was essentially just a recording of the Queen's voice, it didn't respond to Tulip's provocation.

'Let me remind you of what you've forgotten.'

Just as Malificient said that, the whole Remedium suddenly changed. The Magical Forest that they were in was starting to change, from the very skies down to the very ground.

It was as if the environment was melting, showing the true scenery that was hidden from their sight.

'Atlan…' Tulip said, as she tried to touch Atlan. But it seemed as if she couldn't even touch him. Her chitinous hands just phased through his body, as if he was just a projection.

This confused Atlan. He looked over at the Enchanted Queen, who seemed to be looking at him even with the difference in dimension between them.

'Be careful Atlan. I don't know what she's planning but—'

Then, even the Enchanted Queen's words were cut off she her black dragon body shimmered out of existence.

The only ones left that Atlan could see were Ninth and the rest of her team.

Tulip and the Queen were gone.

And when Atlan looked at where he was, he suddenly realized why he couldn't see the other Canzers again.

All around him, he could see the tall buildings and skyscrapers of Genesis City. And on the horizon, he could see its great walls protecting the city from the Unclaimed Lands.

And in front of him was the Church. This was their very goal for this mission from the start.

But because of all the things that had happened, he seemed to have forgotten that.

Now that the Malificient Queen was dead, there was no longer any reason for Atlan and the other humans to remain in the Magical forest. They were transported back into the normal Remedium, where the world was the mirror image of the City itself.

He knew that this was normal, but he couldn't help but feel as if something was off.

Just then, he suddenly saw something in front of him.

There was a large rift portal opening, made up of nothing but chaos and destruction. This was very similar to the black hole that the Dragon Queen Malificient had used back in their fight.

This put Atlan on high alert.

And as the portal became larger, a single figure came out on the other side.

It was a simple raven.

This raven, with its black and shiny feather, hovered in the air and looked Atlan in the eyes.

And somehow, Atlan felt as if this raven was sentient. Not only that, but it also had the same power signature as the Dragon Queen Malificient.

This was a remnant of her power.

The raven suddenly turned around and flew inside the Church.

Goosebumps. Atlan's hair stood on end.

He finally realized what the Queen wanted to do. She wanted to blow up the Church by killing the Ifrit that was holding the Genesis God hostage!

Atlan couldn't let that happen. He unfurled his Angel Wings and tried to move towards the raven in an attempt to catch it.

But before he could even move, he suddenly felt something aching in his chest.

[You have reaped the death of a Specialist Canzer.]

[WARNING! There is an overload of power contained in the user's body!]

Atlan fell to his knees, unable to move.
