Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Atlan couldn't forget about his first Specialist-level LifeSkill. However, he didn't think it would be powerful enough to bend space and allow them to travel wherever he was.

"Why do you guys…look like this?" Atlan asked them.

'That's because our true bodies are way too big for this Remedium. But don't worry, our bodies are the only things that are different. We still have all our powers at our disposal,' the Enchanted Queen explained.

"I remember…I only…tamed Tulip…Queen, why are you…here too?"

As far as Atlan remembered, he only made an agreement with Tulip about becoming his tamed dragon. He was sure that he made no such connection with the Queen.

'Oh, that? Well, I made you tame me when you weren't looking. It's easy since we already have a contract that binds us together, right?' the Queen said, with a little bit of a sly smile on her plush-dragon face.

Atlan couldn't believe that the almighty Enchanted Queen would bow down so low just to be tamed by a mere human.

Even though he couldn't access his Soul System yet, he felt an intangible connection with the Queen the same way that he was connected with Tulip.

This meant that she truly was his tamed Dragon.

Because of this, Atlan had to re-evaluate his thoughts on the Enchanted Queen. At first, he thought that she was just having fun and playing with a small human like him.

And once she was no longer interested in him, she would throw him away and simply sever the connection between them. Once the mission with the church was over, their contract was supposed to be null and void.

But by becoming his tamed Dragon, the Queen was now forever bonded to Atlan, with no way of ever breaking free of him.

He thought she was just a selfish Dragon who used him for her own gains. But this unselfish act made him trust her again.

Perhaps, she truly couldn't try to save him from the Dragon Queen Malificient. Maybe, she was telling the truth.

'This is not the time for this, Queen!' Tulip couldn't help but panic by herself seeing as Atlan and the Queen were just talking to themselves casually as if Atlan wasn't going to burst into an explosion any second later.

'How do we save him?!' she begged the Queen.

The black dragon plushie floated up into the air and looked at the Church.

'Your human friends are far too late. The Raven has already reached the basement and is now on the verge of killing the Ifrit clone, meaning that it will blow up at any second.'

Atlan gathered all the strength in his body to sit up on the ground. Because of this, skin started to crack, with a bright white light glowing in the crevices of the cracks.

He was about to explode.

But even still, he couldn't help but try and do the impossible. He wanted to go over there right now and kill the Raven before it killed the Ifrit.

He knew it was impossible, but he couldn't just give up.

'Don't worry, Atlan. This is actually the best situation for you,' the Queen said in a hopeful manner.

Atlan looked at the black dragon plushie and couldn't help but flash her a confused look. He couldn't understand how blowing up the entire City would be something beneficial to him. Did she want to kill all the humans?

"What do you mean?" he asked her.

'Right now, I'm assuming your body has an overload of power from all the Specialist-level Canzer deaths you consumed. Your soul is now an uncontrollable beast, unable to unleash all of its power.'

"Are you saying…that I can somehow calm down my soul?"

'That is right, Atlan. At the very moment of the explosion in the church, you must also unleash all the power in your body. You must let yourself explode.'

Upon hearing that, Tulip couldn't help but scream out in panic. 'What? Isn't that dangerous?'

"What will my explosion do?" he asked her.

'By counteracting the force of the explosion, you will be able to control your soul and temper your body at the same time!

Think about this. The church explosion will prevent your body explosion from fully destroying your body and soul. Instead, the church explosion will allow you to unleash all that power without having to destroy yourself.

This is the only way you can save yourself, and the City!'

Atlan could barely understand the Enchanted Queen's reasoning for this kind of plan, but he understood what he needed to do.

However, he couldn't believe that this plan would even bear some kind of fruit.

Seeing his doubtful expression, the Enchanted Queen asked him one simple question.

'Do you trust me?'

There were plenty of reasons why Atlan shouldn't trust someone like the Queen. First of all, she was a mighty Dragon, Queen of Canzers in her kingdom. He shouldn't be trusting Canzers in the first place.

Second, Atlan didn't know her true motives for helping him. She said that she wanted his help, but Atlan didn't know what kind of help he would be able to contribute to her.

Not only that, he left her alone to deal with the Magical Queen Malficient all by himself.

But despite all these reasons, Atlan couldn't help but want to trust this Black Dragon.

"I trust you," he said.

The Black Dragon plushie nodded her head, with a bit of a smile forming on her face. 'Well, then you better prepare yourself. The pain you will feel is much harsher than the pain you'll feel right now.'

Then, the Enchanted Queen moved over to Tulip's side and locked arms with her.

'Come on, Tulip. We can't help him right now. We need to go to a different dimension.'

But Tulip knew that she could still do something to help Atlan.

'I'll save the other humans. You'll be safe in the explosion, but they won't. I'll try to save them!'

She immediately rushed out into the Church to protect Ninth and her team from the eventual explosion.

Atlan looked at the Queen. "Protect her," he said.

The Queen playfully shook her head. 'Hahaha…these brats…'

But of course, she too, went into the Church to help Tulip.
