Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Before he could even register what happened, the Queen disappeared as fast as she entered. Atlan looked around and saw the sprawling concrete jungle of the old Genesis City around him.

He was back in the normal Remedium, with the negative-color mirror image of the Cityscape. There weren't any signs of the dark forest around him anymore. He was standing back on asphalt ground.

It was as if everything he experienced was a mere dream. The only reason he believed that it wasn't was the dirt and signs of damage in his battle suit. Those cracks weren't imagined. It was born from his clash against Specialist-level Canzers far above his level.

Yet somehow, he came out alive against all odds. Not only that, he was able to hold his ground and outsmart these Canzers.

He looked down at his Soul System and remembered his rewards from the death of the White Canzer and the Prince.

[You have assisted in the deaths of complex creatures: Sapient Canzers.]

[Due to your trait, all your rewards have been multiplied by 10]

[You have reaped the death of the White Canzer]

[You have gained 140x (7-star) White Canzer genus]

[You have gained a 7-star mutation Allure]

— (7-star) Allure

—— Upon activation, the user will become extremely attractive to those around him, allowing him to easily influence them. This mutation works better if done one-on-one.

[You have gained an A-class Conjurer LifeSkill: Spinster]

[You have gained 130x F-class fragments]

—Conjurer: (A) Spinster

——— 1st stage Intern realm

———— 130x F class fragment

———— This LifeSkill allows the user to create creatures purely from imagination. The user is also able to imbue these puppets with LifeSkill powers. The user temporarily loses access to the LifeSkill whenever it is imbued to the puppets. Subsequently, the LifeSkill the puppets wield will match the realm of the Spinster LifeSkill.

[You have reaped the death of the Prince]

[You have gained 150x (6-star) Prince genus]

[You have gained the 6-star mutation Thornmail]

— (6-star) Thornmail

—— Upon activation, any damage coming to the user will be reflected to the aggressor. The effects of the reflection will grow depending on how brave the user is.

[You have gained a B-class Knight LifeSkill: Protection Lion]

[You have gained 130x F-class fragments]

—Knight: (B) Protection Lion

——— 1st stage Intern realm

———— 130x F class fragment

———— This LifeSkill allows the user to create a shield around themselves that protects them from all damage. The shield grows stronger depending on the injustice caused by the enemy towards the user.

All the danger and injuries he sustained from the fight against the White Canzer now became worth it. Not only did he gain new powerful mutations, but he also got two new LifeSkills that were both in the Intern realm!

He now had three LifeSkills in the Intern realm, each of which could be of tremendous help to him in this mission.

First of all, his Fog of War LifeSkill allowed him complete privacy. He no longer had to worry about Carmine and the rest of his team finding out that he had special powers they couldn't even dream of. That, alone, gave him enough security to know that he could use his full powers whenever the situation demanded it.

Next, his two new LifeSkill powers were both capable of attack and defense.

The Spinster LifeSkill allowed him to create puppets that could wield his LifeSkills. For example, he could create a Huntsman puppet with the Apocalyptic Hellfire LifeSkill.

Sure, he would temporarily lose his ability to use this LifeSkill, but it didn't matter because Atlan could only use one LifeSkill at a time anyway.

And the best part about this was that the puppets were at the Intern level. This meant that the LifeSkill that he imbued onto them would also temporarily become Intern level!

This felt like a cheat with how good it was.

Next, the LifeSkill he got from the death of the Prince helped him get better defenses overall. Although the LifeSkill was basic compared to the Spinster LifeSkill, this only meant that the defense he wielded became stronger to balance it out.

Even though those three LifeSkills were only at the Intern level, it was more than enough for him to keep himself safe on this mission. He now had more confidence in finding and fighting against Specialist-level Canzers.

It made up for his weaknesses perfectly. He needed privacy to use his full strength, he needed offense to fight the Canzers, and he needed defense to protect himself. It was the trifecta.

He didn't even have to mention the mutations!

The Allure mutation completely matched the White Canzer's tendency to seduce everyone. He didn't know how this mutation worked, but he guessed that it would make him look more attractive to the eyes of everyone around him.

He didn't really feel that this mutation was useful, but he didn't deny that it could someday become one.

Next, his Thornmail mutation also increased his defense and offense at the same time.

Although it took a lot out of him after fighting the Huntsman, the White Canzer, and the Prince, in the end, it all turned out worth it.

Though I admit, the best reward I got from this fight wasn't the LifeSkill and the mutations…it was the Queen.

With the Queen's help, he no longer had to worry about the other Canzers waiting for him on the way to the Church. She would be the one to deal with them when the time came.

Although it was hard to believe, Atlan had a gut feeling that the Queen was genuine.

After all, she was a very powerful dragon. If she wanted to kill him, she could have done so very easily. She wouldn't need to deceive him.

All he had to do now was to go forward and watch as the Canzers lying in wait died at the Queen's hands. And who would be there to reap their deaths and their rewards? It was Atlan.

Atlan smiled to himself. Things were finally looking forward for him.
