Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

The crowd of spectators all looked at the Elder Heads with a confused face. They all thought that they were here to disparage the failure of the team in their mission.

They thought they were here to see the punishment given to this porter and his team for leading the church to destruction.

However, judging from the tone of the Elder Head's voice, it was as if he was still lauding and praising Atlan for his actions.

This was because the Elder Heads knew more than others about what happened. Of course, they knew that if the church blew up, the whole City would have blown up with it. But somehow, Atlan and the others were able to limit the explosion only to the Church itself. They thought this was impossible, but Atlan was able to do it.

"Care to tell us about what happened during your mission?" the old man asked.

Being put in the spotlight, Atlan decided to just tell the truth to everybody, plain and simple.

"We encountered a dragon…" Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire

He began to explain the details about what happened when they encountered the Magical Queen Malificient, and how they won against her and killed her. He also told them about the Malificient Queen's lingering power that allowed a Raven to visit the church and agitate the Ifrit enough to blow up the church.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the common folk in the audience couldn't help but chuckle at his words

"You met a dragon, and somehow, you killed it? It would have been a lot more believable if you told us that Ninth killed it instead!"

"Don't make us laugh, Star Porter. You may be talented enough among the Student realm, but you are nearly not enough to deal with the dangers of a Specialist-level Canzer, especially not the apex creatures."

"Why haven't we arrested him for his blatant lies?"

The common folk, the people who weren't top Saviors in the crowd, all thought that Atlan was lying. There was no way that he was able to defeat a dragon all on his own.

The only ones with a serious face and treated Atlan's words at face value were Kobra, Carmine, and the Elder Heads.

Somehow, they believed that Atlan's words were true. Kobra already sensed that there was something different with Atlan. And if he was able to defeat a Dragon, then it would more than make sense that he was able to teleport here in this space without him knowing about it.

Meanwhile, Carmine's mind began to click. All this time, he had been reviewing the footage of the battle suit and he couldn't help but notice that the fog would always come whenever Atlan was in trouble or when something bad was about to happen.

He always thought that this was a coincidence, but after seeing it multiple times, there became a pattern.

Once the fog appeared, Atlan would suddenly come out on top without any explanation. He would survive tremendously low odds.

But now that Atlan told them the truth about everything, Carmine finally understood everything.

Atlan had been hiding his true powers this entire time. He was the one who was creating those fogs that obscured everything for them.

Meanwhile, the Elder Heads all nodded to each other, finally understanding the truth as to how they were able to survive the mission.

"So, please tell us how the explosion was mitigated?" asked the old man.

Atlan told them the truth, about how he used the explosion in his own body to counteract the explosion of the church.

He couldn't go into detail about how that was possible because he himself didn't know the reason. He just knew that the explosion in his body was enough to cover the whole City from the explosion.

Once everyone heard this, the crowd shook their heads in resignation. They didn't know why everyone was still bothering to listen to Atlan when all he did was lie to them.

Everything he said was absurd. Most of them were already tuning out of Atlan's explanation.

But of course, the Elder Heads listened to Atlan's explanation and treated it as the truth.

"Thank you for sharing that," said the old guy.

Then, he turned to the crowd behind him.

"As you can see, the team assigned to the mission is not to blame for this incident. And most likely, they have saved the City from total destruction," the old man said.

But of course, the normal crowd refused to believe Atlan's words. They believed that he must have been lying due to the trauma he received from fighting Specialist-level Canzers and dragons in the mission.

"This meeting is therefore adjourned," the old man said.

The Elder Heads could have made this meeting private, with just them and Atlan. However, they decided to let others hear about it because they needed to be placated for what happened.

If they had kept it a secret, they would have demanded answers and rioted at their doors. But now, whether they believe Atlan's story or not, they would stop their inquiry about what happened during the mission.

And so, the rest of the group was about to leave when all of a sudden, the whole room started to tremble.

Everyone thought that this was a simple earthquake, but the faces of the Elder Heads, Kobra, and even Carmine showed that of shock and horror.

Slowly, the four walls of the auditorium changed colors, from pure white to midnight black. All the leafy green plants decorated in pots all turned into a purplish hue.

The crowd of normal people didn't know what was happening.

But the Saviors in the room knew exactly what was happening.

However, they were helpless to do anything about it.

"What's happening? Why can't I open the door to the outside?" asked one of the normal people in the room.

"Bodyguard! Take me home. I don't want to be in this room anymore."

But instead of moving to his boss's words, the bodyguard trembled.

"Sir…we can't…we…we're in the Remedium!"
