Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Atlan raises the Scythe in his hands and brings it down swiftly towards the Mole Canzer. A direct line appeared in the monster's body, separating its body. After a few seconds, both parts separated, showing that Atlan's Scythe had cleaved the monster clean in half.

Suddenly, the ends of the Mole Canzer's body suddenly caught on fire, with the embers left from the Scythe's flaming blades letting it burn asunder.

The Mole Canzer showed a pained expression at first, but as the flames consumed its whole body, relief started to wash over the monster. It was as if it was being taken to a better place, to a place free from suffering.

Soon enough, the Mole Canzer was nothing but ashes on the ground.

Atlan, knowing that the job was finished, swung his flaming Scythe in the air, extinguishing the flame that it showed. Then, he put it back on his back as if everything was normal.

However, the Pre-Intern level Saviors knew that this was anything but normal! First of all, Atlan wasn't even supposed to be able to kill a Pre-Intern level Canzer with just one move. Second of all, that Scythe of his seemed to emanate a kind of strength that even they could not estimate. It was the kind of strength that only the weapons of Specialist-level veteran Saviors had.

And perhaps the most surprising of all was the fact that the Mole Canzer had not yet regenerated at all. Even after they waited a few seconds and a full minute, the Canzer didn't return to life. It remained as ash flowing through the air.

This meant only one thing: the Mole Canzer was dead.

This was supposed to be the one thing that was impossible. They could believe that Atlan, through some fortunate encounter, was able to improve his strength tremendously. However, the fact that he could kill a Canzer without using a construct was another thing entirely.

They believed that Canzers had their own weaknesses, and the only ones who could figure out those weaknesses were Operator Saviors. After that, they would create a construct with that specific weakness to counter the Canzer's ability to regenerate or clone itself, allowing them to kill it without problem.

However, Atlan killed Mole Canzer only with his flaming Scythe. He didn't even use a construct because he left it in the real world!

It was only now that they understood why Atlan was so confident in going on this mission. He didn't get the construct because he didn't need it. He told them not to disturb him because he knew that he could deal with the Canzer all by himself!

After a few seconds, a bright light suddenly appeared in the skies and showered everyone with a beam of light.

The blue wisps of experience points and Time Stim containing Soul Time suddenly floated down towards each of them.

This was the greatest confirmation they could ever get that the mission was finished, that the Canzer was truly dead.

Slowly, blue experience filled their bodies and got them closer to advancing to the next stage of their LifeSkill.

Then, they took the Time Stim from the air and saw that it contained 50 years of Soul Time.

This was their reward for finishing a mission.

In any other case, they would have immediately accepted these rewards. After all, 50 years of Soul Time was a pretty hefty sum of rewards. They could buy a lot of things with 50 years of Soul Time such as a new house or a new set of armor and weapons.

However, they were all reluctant to accept it this time. After all, they did nothing to deserve these rewards. Atlan was the one who killed the Canzer, and they barely did anything but stay on the sidelines and watch everything unfold with their very own eyes.

"Take it," Atlan said to them.

They all looked up and saw that Atlan threw the experience points and the Time Stim toward their direction, disregarding the rewards as if they were nothing to him.

"But..sir..Atlan. We don't deserve this," said the leader.

"You do deserve this. You didn't cower under the pressure and took this mission. I've seen many other Saviors let fear take over their hearts and refuse to do any missions for the City.

But at least you guys, you still braved the mission and risked your life.

And you could have left me here all alone when I went in. Instead, you all went inside with me and tried to pull me back into safety. Even though I didn't need it, I appreciated it.

If you still think you're not worthy then don't think of this as a reward. Think of this as a gift. Take it, or else I'll be giving it to someone else."

Atlan said those words and walked towards the portal, leaving the Remedium entirely. The Pre-Intern Saviors all looked at each other and took Atlan's gift with them with appreciation.

Because of this incident, their view towards the Star Porter would be changed forever.

They no longer believed the rumors that he was lying about killing a Specialist-level Canzer all by himself. They truly believed it now and would try to convince others to believe it too. After all, everyone's been treating him as a liar, when in truth, he was simply being a Savior—he was killing Canzers.

They all left the Remedium soon after Atlan did. A few minutes later, they were swarmed by a lot of survivors thanking them for their service.

Because of the quick action and termination of the Canzer, the earthquakes stopped entirely and they were able to evacuate the affected area, preventing any more casualties.

Many were cheering and clapping for them, but they could only awkwardly stand there and look around the area. They couldn't see Atlan. They couldn't see the man who was the true savior in this scenario.

"If you want to thank anyone, then you must thank Atlan, the Star Porter! He's the one who killed the Canzer!" the leader of the Saviors shouted, announcing to everyone what he had seen.
