Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

The black hole in the Queen's hands started to rumble as if it was about to explode. All the energy it absorbed from the attacks turned it into a time bomb that was just moments away from releasing all its energy.

The Queen flicked her finger towards the White Canzer, sending the trembling black hole towards her way.

The seven puppets immediately pooled all their strength to try and destroy the black hole before it reached their creator.

But as soon as they got close to the black hole, they helplessly got absorbed into it with no chance of getting out. They served to further create instability towards the black hole, turning it even more dangerous.

As it reached the White Canzer, she fell into a fetal position.

BOOM!

A surge of black energy exploded outwards and destroyed everything in its path. It created a large shockwave that peeled the dark trees off the ground in a 100-mile radius!

Atlan wasn't spared from the explosion. Thankfully, he was far enough away to be affected by the black energy. He only had to fight against the shockwave that knocked him off his feet and almost burst his eardrums.

The Queen's power was evident. Atlan finally realized why the White Canzer spent so long trying to run away from her.

"Are you okay?!"

Carmine asked in a panic.

Atlan skidded on the ground and finally stopped after crashing into a dead tree.

He looked around and was horrified to see nothing but a large crater just a few feet away from him.

Just a single spell created such destruction.

But even then, the White Canzer was somehow still able to survive. Before the black hole exploded, the Prince used the last of his powers to rescue her from certain doom and teleported her away into safety.

'Are you okay, my love?'

The Prince was badly injured, with his lower body completely burned to a crisp. But even with his horrible state, the Prince couldn't help but worry about the White Canzer.

Despite his noble sacrifice, the 'princess' didn't seem to notice it.

She had a horrified expression as she looked at the Queen, who was slowly walking in their direction.

'Prince! Do something! Kill the wicked Queen!'

She didn't even notice that the Prince could no longer walk with his legs. And even if she did, she wouldn't care. She only wanted him to sacrifice his life for her.

The Queen walked towards the shivering White Canzer.

'Why?'

the Queen asked.

The White Canzer thought she'd be killed at that moment. She didn't expect to hear those words come out of the Queen's mouth.

'What?'

The Queen stared daggers at the White Canzer.

'Why did you kill my husband and my child?'

The whole reason why the Queen started this witch hunt was because the White Canzer had the King and the Princess's death on her hands.

'What?'

The White Canzer still couldn't understand the Queen's questions.

'They loved you. If you wanted the throne, then they would have given it to you.'

All this time, Atlan thought that the White Canzer killed the royal family because they denied her the throne. But as it turned out, that wasn't true.

According to the Queen, the King would have offered her the throne had she just asked for it.

'....'

The White Canzer didn't answer and kept her head down.

Her silence angered the Queen even further. She flicked her hand upwards, and an invisible force pushed the White Canzer's head upwards and forced her to make eye contact with her.

'Why?!'

the Queen demanded an answer.

'Because I am the fairest one of them all! I shouldn't have to ask for the throne, they should have just given it to me! My beauty should have been enough to rule the entire kingdom! He should have known that, that's why I killed him!'

The Queen gritted her teeth. Knowing that her husband died because of such a petty reason almost made her burst out in anger and kill the White Canzer right then and there. But she didn't deserve such an easy escape.

'My daughter…your sister…why did you kill her?'

'Hpmh! Because she's a female!'

The Queen shivered.

'That's it?'

'Is there any better reason? She threatened to destroy my monopoly on beauty! She had to go. If she continued to live, people would always compare me to her. Nothing should get in the way of my kingdom.'

The Queen waited for an eternity to find those answers. She spent all this time obsessing over finding the White Canzer for this very reason.

But now that she had her answers, she felt as empty as ever. There was nothing resolved in her heart. She despaired like she did before, probably even more.

'You…you don't regret your actions…'

The White Canzer laughed.

'I would do it again if I could!'

The Queen thought that there was a small sliver of chance that she could forgive the White Canzer. Maybe if she had repented of her actions, then they could have forgotten this ever happened and returned to the kingdom.

The Queen laughed at herself for thinking such stupid thoughts. She should have known that the White Canzer would never change.

'I've heard enough of you,'

the Queen said.

Her body started to morph, becoming multiple times larger than her original size. Her head elongated, creating a strong jaw that housed sharp teeth on all sides.

Her legs grew thicker stumps, allowing her greater balance as she became a giant.

She grew a massive tail on her back, with spikes growing out into a line.

And finally, she grew a pair of red wings, complimenting the dark maroon scales on her chitinous body.

RAAAOOOOOO

She growled, with fire billowing out of her mouth.

This was the Queen's final form, a majestic fire dragon.

The White Canzer couldn't help but shiver when looking up at the gigantic body of the dragon.

Then, she started laughing.

'Ha…haha…hahahahaha!'

The dragon bent down her neck and swallowed the White Canzer whole, crunching her body on her maws. The Prince pushed his body upwards and tried to save her, but he too ended up getting devoured by the Queen.
