Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

The White Canzer finally remembered.

It was all back at the lowest point in her life, where she was cast out of the castle and the kingdom forever.

She fled to the dark forest to save her life.

There, she encountered the Huntsman. Despite him revealing that he was there to hunt her, she was able to seduce her way out of death. She convinced him to spare her life and let her live away from the kingdom.

The Huntsman, honoring his words, gave a boar's heart to the Queen instead of her own.

The White Canzer didn't remember this part of her life because she didn't want to. All her plans, all her preparation, and all her sacrifices went down the drain all because the Queen refused to die to her tricks. Explore new worlds at empire

She had already killed the King and his daughter. She only needed the Queen to die for her to take control of the kingdom and make it her own.

One step away—she was just one step away from becoming the ultimate ruler of the kingdom. But the Queen, due to her insane luck, was able to survive the poisoned apple that she gave her.

It was a pity that she hadn't prepared for such an outcome. Because of that, the Queen was able to report her to the proper authorities and was convicted of the murder of the royal family.

She had to get down on her knees, dirtying her white chitin, and apologize to the Queen and the whole court for her crimes.

She did her best to appeal to the people and let them know that she only killed the King and the Princess for a very valid reason. She was so close to manipulating the people to turn against the Queen and let them instead believe that she was the one who killed the King and the Princess.

But the Queen was somehow able to dispel her charm. She convinced the judge, jury, and executioner that the only one responsible for the death of the royal family was her.

She was deeply humiliated by that wicked Queen. She thought she'd get spared if she apologized, but they still sentenced her to death.

She left the castle immediately and fled for her life.

And she eventually found a home in the dark woods. She was able to create the puppets that served her now.

She thought she'd never get betrayed ever again.

But she was proved wrong.

Because of the Happy puppet's rage, the boar's heart inside the jewel box was broken beyond repair. It was just blood and meat at this point.

The White Canzer immediately noticed a fog creeping up on the whole forest. It was enveloped by a power that was vaguely familiar to her.

As a Specialist Canzer, she immediately sensed that there was another being that was slowly approaching their location.

It wasn't hard to guess who it was.

Meanwhile, Atlan heaved a sigh of relief once he felt the familiar oppressing feeling of the Huntsman. He didn't think he would want to feel the pressure of a Specialist Canzer weighing down on him, but here he was.

"I must say, Atlan. This plan is bold and insane. By destroying the boar's heart, you will no longer be invisible to the Huntsman. It will hunt you down—in fact, it's already here."

"Yes. But I am not alone here, am I? I am just a lowly human who poses absolutely no threat against the Huntsman. Meanwhile, the White Canzer is the subject of the Huntsman's grief and regret.

If given a choice on who the Huntsman would kill, who do you think it would go for?"

Atlan's plan was simple. He would summon the Huntsman and let him meet the White Canzer.

By doing so, he would be pitting those two monsters against each other in a battle for survival. The best-case scenario would be that they would both kill each other in this fight.

But of course, there was no guarantee that the Huntsman would leave him alone. It could still kill him while fighting the White Canzer using very little effort.

That was why Carmine called it a bold and insane idea.

'Huh? What's happening?'

The happy puppet looked around and couldn't understand what was going on.

'Aitch! Something's coming to kill me. Protect me now!'

WHIZZ!

A single arrow flew from beyond the fog and aimed down towards the White Canzer's heart at light speed. It was too fast for Atlan to even react, but somehow, the Happy puppet was able to move and protect its creator by conjuring more animated trees.

The arrow pierced through the trees before being stopped just ten trees short of reaching the White Canzer.

'You're still bewitching creatures for your own gains, I see. Nothing has changed all these years, huh?'

The Huntsman's voice echoed through the fog from all directions, making it seem as if his presence was all around. It obscured his true location.

'Huntsman…it's…it's been a while! How have you been?'

The White Canzer did her best to seem casual, but she couldn't hide the nervousness in her voice.

'I'm still me. I still want to kill you.'

the Huntsman replied.

'Haha…how could you kill a little old me? There must be some kind of mistake, right? Didn't I tell you that I am a product of injustice? That wicked Queen must have tricked your brain into thinking that I deserve death!'

The White Canzer did what it did best. It tried to manipulate the Huntsman into sparing her life.

'Your words cannot trick me, witch!'

Unfortunately, the Huntsman was already wise to her lies.

'Why don't you come here and listen to my words carefully?'

Her bewitching words would work best if the Huntsman was looking directly at her, so she tried to make him reveal himself.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'I will only approach you once your heart is pierced with my arrow.'

Then, the Huntsman directed his words to Atlan.

"I must thank you, human. You have given me a chance to relieve my grudge. For that, I will spare your life."
