Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

The whole dark forest seemed to become even more foggy. It was dense—too dense to even see those around them. Aside from the bodyguard just a few inches away from him, Atlan could only see the silhouette of his teammates.

He had a bad feeling about this. He tried to use his Thermal Vision, but it was as if the fog could obscure his LifeSkill as well. It was overpowered by the mystical powers of the Remedium and could not see through them.

The Scout immediately sensed something and warned the others.

"Incoming!" he shouted.

The Tank immediately activated his LifeSkill and created a protective wall around the team. The Sniper kept his eyes on the scope and his finger on the trigger. Even Ninth held her one-handed sword above her head ready to cut down whatever was about to come towards them.

And just as they feared,

'Damn humans! They've gone and killed our brother!'

'Ha…haa…hachoo! Sniff…the smell of these humans makes my allergy act up!'

'Can they see me? I don't want them to see me!'

'Hehe…the smell here is nice hehe, isn't it?'

'Zzzzz….POP!…huh? Yeah…yeah…I'll just go back to…sleep…'

Five more distinct Canzer voices echoed through the dark woods. Even though each one of those voices came with a very varied aura and power, there wasn't any doubt in everyone that they were all either as strong or stronger than the happy Canzer they killed.

And it looked like they came for revenge.

'Look how they massacred our boy.'

Everyone's eyes went wide as they suddenly saw a large clothed Canzer appear in front of Ninth. It observed the corpse of the happy Canzer with a melancholic expression.

Atlan didn't even notice it came from anywhere. It simply appeared without any warning or effects.

'Dee! Can you stop that damn smoking?! It's clouding the whole forest!'

The thick and dense fog finally cleared, allowing them to lay eyes on the Canzer in front of them.

It was as hideous as the one before, with a face as big as a human's body. It somehow wore large human clothes with a red long-sleeved shirt, orange trousers, brown shoes, and a cone-tipped hat.

Its garb was similar to that of the happy Canzer, but this time, it had large round glasses that hid its eyes that seemed like it could pierce through the veil of truth.

This Canzer didn't seem aggressive and only focused its attention on the corpse below. It didn't even react to the bloodlust that Ninth emitted just a few meters away from it. It was as if she didn't even exist.

"Boss! Just give me the go-ahead and I'll blow the brains out of that monster!"

The Sniper was ready to destroy the bespectacled Canzer in front of her. He would have already done so, but Ninth's silence made him hesitate. If she wasn't going to do something, then it wasn't his place to do so either.

"Be careful," Ninth warned her team. "There's something amiss."

Slowly, as the fog dispersed and showed the replenished dead trees, the team finally laid their eyes upon the six different Canzers.

'Ah! Dee, can you please blow some smoke again? These humans are looking at me!'

'I'll beat these bastards up myself if they keep leering at us like this.'

'Hehe…hehe…Gee, relax…they have seven, we have seven…it's perfect.'

There were six of them in total. Five of them were on the outskirts of the black forest and surrounded Ninth and the group. The last one was inside the group and faced Ninth directly.

The one called 'Dee' wore a green long-sleeved shirt and green trousers. It wore a violet hat and had a pipe in its mouth constantly billowing smoke out of its chamber.

Atlan noticed that the smoke it blew away was perfectly similar to the fog in the black forest. And according to what he heard from their conversation, it was 'Dee' who was responsible for the obscure nature of the Remedium.

'Gee' wore entirely red clothes, with its shirt and trousers matching in colors. It wore an orange cone-tipped hat and was the only one among the group of Canzers who had a great big white beard obscuring its mouth. And despite that, the frown on its face was as clear as day. It couldn't display any other expression.

'Zee! Would you stop sleeping!'

'Zee', just like the angry 'Gee', wore an entirely red attire, but with a blue cone-tipped hat. This Canzer was lying down on its side and constantly yawned—which was unnatural and human-like at the same time. It desperately tried to get up just like its 'brothers' said, but it would always end up falling and sleeping within a second.

'My damn useless brothers! Why are you hiding, Bee? Get over here!' yelled the angry Gee.

Obscuring its large stature behind a thin dead tree was 'Bee'. It wore a yellow long-sleeved shirt and a blue-green hat. This one always had its head down and couldn't keep its gaze long enough to make eye contact with the humans.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

HACHOOO!

The last Canzer sneezed so hard that it induced a head-splitting headache in Atlan and the team. Not even Ninth could react fast enough to protect herself from the disorientation.

It took them a second to wake themselves up from their stupor.

The Canzers could have used this opportunity to unleash untold damage on the humans. Yet, they didn't. They didn't know if it was because they didn't want to, or because they didn't need to.

The Tanks gritted their teeth as they realized that they faced an opponent that they could not let their guard down. Because of their carelessness, they could have let down their team and let the Canzers take the upper hand.

'That was a big one, Ess! Hehe…'

Even an effortless sneeze was enough to send chills down their spine. The tanks kept their eyes on the Canzer named 'Ess'.

It wore clothes colored entirely of brown, with a yellow cone-tipped hat on its head. Its biggest feature was its big nose, which was large enough to suck up an entire human without any trouble at all. The Canzer constantly rubbed its nose and always had an expression as if it was about to sneeze.
