Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Lizzie fell on her knees, exhausted.

She had fought an Intern-level Canzer by herself. This was very impressive in her own right, since most Saviors wouldn't be able to do what she had done and survive. This was why a team was needed in order to survive an attack against a Canzer.

But Atlan had easily killed the Canzers with just one swing of his Scythe. It was absurd to think about. She couldn't even understand it.

She turned to Atlan. "How?" she asked him.

Atlan, knowing that Lizzie was a trustworthy person and someone that he valued greatly, decided to tell her the truth—the whole truth.

"When you saw me in the Unclaimed Lands and I had my awakening, I somehow ended up meeting the God of Death…"

Atlan began to tell the story of everything that happened to him from the very beginning, without missing anything at all.

He told her about how he gained the powers of the god of death after killing him.

He told her about how he got stronger with every death that he witnessed. He gained experience, Soul Time, LifeSkills, and mutations from any and every death that came his way.

He also told her about the Angel's extinction, and how he found out that Angels were the natural weakness of Canzers.

He explained that this was how he was able to kill Canzers without using a construct. He was using Angle power all this time.

He told her about the missions in the Remedium, about the anomalies that had been happening to him all the time. He told her how he was the one who killed those Canzers. That was the reason why he miraculously survived those missions.

"This is my tamed dragon, Tulip. She's the one who helped me in the church mission," Atlan said as he pointed in the air.

Suddenly, a plushie figure of a white-green dragon appeared in their vision, surprising both Ninth and Lizzie.

"Hello… nice to meet you!" Tulip said, a bit meekly. She was still a little bit shy when meeting other people.

"Tulip?! No way… that's you?!" Ninth had developed a bond with Tulip because of the Malificient Dragon Queen incident. She didn't get to say goodbye to Tulip, but she had always kept it in her heart.

She was also surprised that she could understand Tulip's words.

Atlan explained that this was a benefit to her becoming his tamed dragon. He bestowed her the ability to talk in the human language. After all, the plushie figurine that she was currently using was Atlan's own invention, which meant that he could change it however he liked, including changing the voice box to accommodate human speech.

As Ninth and Tulip both introduced each other, they quickly found out that they enjoyed each other's company.

Tulip was the only Canzer that changed Ninth's perspective on Canzers. And now that they could talk to each other, the more Ninth found out that Canzers were just like any other human.

They quickly became friends, especially now that they could talk to each other.

Meanwhile, Lizzie and Atlan were left all alone.

"This is a lot to take in," she said.

"I know this is a lot. But I had to tell you the truth. There are a lot of things happening right now, and I need you to know the truth."

There are a lot of things that Lizzie had to process. Most of all, she had to process the fact that she had witnessed the deaths of the Angels first hand, yet she was still in denial at that point.

Now that Atlan had explained everything, it suddenly made sense for her. It made sense how he was always so strong and capable compared to the other Saviors in his league.

She had to change her whole look on Atlan, turning him from an adorable kid that needed protection, into someone capable of killing Specialist-level Canzers by himself.

"The Canzers… they're trying to do something?" she asked him.

"Yes. they're trying to achieve something terrible for the human race. If they succeed, this could mean the end of our lives as we know it. That is why we have to find out what happened to Otis," Atlan said with a serious tone.

"And I need your help, Lizzie. I need you."

Although Lizzie wanted nothing more than to just return to the real world and just forget about the worries of the world, she still couldn't leave Atlan behind all alone.

Even though he was already much stronger than her, she still couldn't help but feel as if she was responsible for him. She had an obligation to help him.

It was at this point that Lizzie realized her true feelings for Atlan.

If any other man had told her that she was lying about his entire identity, then she would want nothing to do with that man.

But somehow, Atlan was the only exception. Even when she found out that there were a lot of things that Atlan hid from her, she still cared for him and wanted to see him safe.

"Atlan… I…"

But before she could say anything, Atlan raised his finger and stopped her from saying anything.

"Don't tell me now. Let's wait until everything is over," he said to her.

Right now, there were a lot of things they needed to do. They couldn't afford to be distracted.

If Atlan heard Lizzie say the words that he'd been wanting to hear this entire time, then he wouldn't be able to stop himself and immediately want to take her as his woman right here. He wouldn't have cared about the Canzers' plans and the destruction of the world. He would have only wanted Lizzie.

So, he decided to postpone it for now.

"Okay. We'll wait," Lizzie said, looking up at him with a blush on her cheeks. "For now, we need to find the others and tell them about this."

Atlan agreed.

He took Lizzie and Ninth in his hands and spread his Angel Wings. With just one thought on his mind, he teleported them into another location, right in front of Kobra and his team.
