Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals-Chapter 384: Sacrifice to kill
Atlan made a contract with the three good fairies. In exchange for fighting the Dragon Queen Malificient, then they would lend him their powers, allowing him to surpass his current limitation of power and reach the Specialist level.
But at that moment, his strength dropped back down to the Student level. It was as if the contract was voided for a brief second, which was enough of a time gap for Tulip to escape from his grasp.
Atlan couldn’t interpret this any other way. The three good fairies wanted Tulip to surrender herself to the Queen!
He couldn’t understand this. He thought that they cared deeply for their daughter, but this action led him to believe that they wanted her to be killed!
His eyes and expression displayed the anger and frustration he had for them. He demanded answers.
The three good fairies, knowing what Atlan must feel right now, nodded their heads. They couldn’t tell him anything, but they could at least give him some sort of sign that everything was proceeding as it was supposed to proceed.
Atlan’s eyebrows furrowed. This is part of the plan?
He couldn’t understand it. Tulip’s heart was about to be wrenched out of her chest, yet this was part of the plan? It was counterintuitive, if you asked him.
But Atlan could do nothing but have faith.

Just then, Atlan realized something all around him. The thousands of dragon clones, all started to fall a slight bit from their usual flight pattern. It was as if they were losing energy fast.
The Queen, in her excitement, only focused on Tulip’s heart. Once she consumed her heart, then she could be sure that the prophecy would be over.
If she killed Tulip, she would be invincible under the sun! No human could ever kill her.
But because she was so focused on that, she didn’t realize that her own body was starting to betray her strength.
As Tulip got closer and closer to her, the Malificient Dragon Queen’s body started to get weaker and weaker. After all, she was in the presence of her very weakness. She was like a construct. The presence of Tulip in close proximity to her allowed a tiny brief moment of weakness.
But the Queen didn’t care. She was about to be invincible after she killed Tulip.
And even if the humans tried to attack her now, there were still thousands upon thousands of dragon clones ready to sacrifice their lives to buy her enough time to shove her hands into Tulip’s heart.
They would never reach her in time.
The Queen’s hands felt weak as it was about to reach Tulip’s chest. It started to shake. But the Queen continued to push her hands closer and closer, letting the sharpness of her nails pierce through Tulip’s weak chitin armor.
But just as she was about to go deeper, Tulip suddenly lunged towards her and embraced her deeply.
The Queen, not expecting this, could do nothing as Tulip had her in her embrace. No matter how much she tried to struggle, the Queen could not wriggle herself out of Tulip’s hands.
She was at the peak of strength, and Tulip was at the bottom. Yet, the Queen didn’t have the strength to push her away.
Since Tulip was making close contact with her, the Queen was weakened to such a state that she was even weaker than Tulip herself.
Then, Tulip shouted back at Atlan.
’Do it now! Kill us both!’ she shouted.
Atlan looked up at Tulip and the Queen. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing, but his first response was a definite no.
Now that Tulip and the Queen were in the same place, it would be easy to kill the Queen.
But, was it so easy?
Just then, he remembered the three good fairies.
They said that he was the chosen one, the being that would be the one to help kill the Magical Queen Malificient.
Atlan didn’t believe the prophecy at all. But now, it kind of made sense.

After all, if it was any other human in his place, they wouldn’t have been able to fight the Queen at all. It was only because of Atlan and his strange and overpowered abilities that allowed him to struggle with the Queen for this long.
If it was any other Savior, they would have not been able to fight against a horde of Dragon clones all by themselves. But Atlan could do it. Only he could have done it.
And even in this situation, where he was faced with killing both Tulip and the Queen, Atlan was the only one who could do it.
Since he was a human and he didn’t have a construct, he could never kill a Canzer. This meant that he would never be able to kill the Queen, no matter how weakened she became.
But Atlan was special. He had a secret power.
He had the SSS class LifeSkill Cherubic Retribution, which was made out of the powers of an angel.
With that LifeSkill, he could kill the Queen even if he didn’t have a construct with him. He only needed her to be weakened, just like she was now.
But that also meant that he could kill Tulip. Since they were holding each other so close, Atlan couldn’t target just one of them. He had to hit both of them.
It finally made sense why the three good fairies all told him to conceal his Angel Wings and his angel power.
If he had shown his trump card early, then the Queen would have become too wary of him to let down her guard like she did now.
He looked back at the three good fairies, and they all nodded at him with a smile. They were saying to him that this was the time.
Atlan finally knew what to do.
’Tulip…don’t die.’ he muttered.
Atlan commanded the thousands upon thousands of his clones to look up and face the Queen.
As he raised his hand, his ten thousand clone army all raised their hand with him. They all pointed at the Queen and Tulip.
Slowly, the power of the Angels gathered in his hands.
