Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Lizzie and Ninth both followed Atlan inside, where they were immediately met with the negative color scheme of the Remedium.

Almost every other group had already left to find their own Canzers. Kobra and his team went forward, trying to find the strongest Canzer they could find. After all, they were in charge of killing the Specialist-level Canzer that led this whole situation.

And since Atlan's team was the last one to enter, they were the only ones left near the portal.

"Where's our teammate?" Lizzie asked.

No matter where they looked around, their teammates who were supposed to join them in the portal were nowhere to be seen.@@novelbin@@

Atlan, on the other hand, had a feeling that this was deliberate.

His eyes darted to the side, where multiple people suddenly came out of the building with a strange smile on their faces.

And in the middle of that group was a man who kept on giving out bloodlust directed towards Atlan.

It was Otis Orioness.

"What's going on here?" Lizzie asked, Her whiskers popped out of her cheeks and started to wriggle. Her cat senses telling her that something suspicious was going on.

"Nothing is going on," Otis said. "We're just here to support all of you."

"You're not our teammates? Where are they?" Ninth asked, with her hand already near her sword.

Otis shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. They're probably already gone. Maybe, they were doing their job as they were told."

It was clear that there were no good intentions with Otis' appearance here. After all, the bloodlust he was emanating was as clear as day. Now that Atlan was here in the Remedium, there was no more need for him to disguise his pure hatred for the Star Porter.

"What are you doing, Otis?" Lizzie asked. "This is not the time to be doing something so risky."

Lizzie couldn't believe that Otis was trying to incite a fight between them. After all, things had already been so hectic for everyone. He didn't need to add to their worries more with this kind of stunt.

It was especially important for them to work together and preserve their strength now. After all, if more and more Saviors died, then this would only give the Canzers the chance to completely wreak havoc in the Remedium without anyone to stop them.

However, Otis was too blind to his own rage to see past his own desires. He just wanted to kill Atlan as a form of twisted justice for his younger brother's death.

"Surround them," Otis said.

About twenty Intern-level Saviors slowly approached Atlan, Lizzie, and Ninth. They made sure to block their exit to the portal and made sure that they wouldn't be able to escape from their enclosure.

"Are you sure this is a good idea for you?" Lizzie asked. "If you hurt Atlan or any one of us, then we will not hold back and protect ourselves. Let me remind you that both of us are in the Specialist realm, while all of you are only in the Intern realm."

Then, she turned to the other Intern-level Saviors, hoping to dissuade them from following Otis' stupid actions.

"You know the difference between Specialist-level and Intern-level Saviors. It doesn't matter if you have twenty of you there, you still won't stand a chance against us," Lizzie warned.

"Save yourselves the Soul Time. We will not hesitate to take it away from you," Ninth added.

However, no matter how much they tried to persuade the others to give way, they kept their original intentions. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

Otis promised them a lot of Soul Time as compensation for Atlan's death. Each of them was offered 1000 years of Soul Time, which was life-changing for them.

If they pulled this off, then they wouldn't have to risk their lives in missions anymore. They could just live the rest of their lives in comfort.

And even if they died right now trying to kill Atlan, then Otis assured them that the Soul Time would still go to their families waiting for them in the real world.

That was the main reason why they weren't afraid to fight against two Specialist-level Saviors like Lizzie and Ninth.

They continued to get closer and closer to Atlan, encircling him like he was prey.

"Don't think you'll get away with this," Lizzie shouted. Her anger was truly provoked this time. She couldn't believe that they were trying to hurt her precious friend even though Atlan hadn't done anything to them.

"HeadQuarters will not let you go for this crime," she warned.

But Otis didn't care. "Maybe they will," he said without a tone as if he didn't have a care in the world. "But it would have already been too late. I would have already cut off Atlan's head and offered it up in a plate to my younger brother's tombstone."

Lizzie clicked her tongue. "I know that you're sad that your brother died, but Atlan is innocent. If you want anyone to blame, then blame the Canzers who killed Obek! Turn your anger into killing them instead!" Lizzie pleaded.

"Don't utter his name!" Otis roared. "Atlan is guilty. He has led my brother to his death. Even if he didn't kill him with his own hands, he still let my brother fall into the hands of those Canzers."

Lizzie finally realized that there was no arguing with Otis. His eyes showed a craziness that could not be persuaded. He was way too invested in this to stop now.

Fearing what was about to happen next, she turned to Ninth.

"You take Atlan and run away," she said. "I'll try to fight them and hold them off."

Ninth knew that Lizzie had good intentions. But it seemed that she didn't realize who she was trying to protect.

Atlan was not the one who needed protection. It was the stupid boys who thought that they could kill someone who had defeated countless Specialist-level Canzers all by himself.

Ninth wasn't afraid of what Otis would do to Atlan, she was afraid about what Atlan would do to Otis.
