Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

With Lizzie floating in mid-air, Atlan thought he finally had a chance to catch her. He thought wrong.

The red tail behind her suddenly swung to the right and her body immediately changed directions as if a huge wind pushed her away from Atlan's hands.

Her tail allowed her to have omnidirectional movement in the air!

He watched, unable to do anything, as she moved in mid-air as fast as she could on land.

Once she dodged Atlan's attack, her tail suddenly swung back again and pushed her right toward his body, allowing her to scratch his side and deal a couple of minutes of SoulTime.

Without manifesting his Angel Wings, he was helpless against a battle in mid-air. He quickly fell to the ground, landing on his knees as he held the side of his stomach.

Lizzie's attacks were strong enough to pierce through the very thin layer of skin in his body, but nothing further. She made sure not to target any of his vital parts so that he'd be able to regenerate his injuries just a few minutes later.

"Why are you doing this?" Atlan asked her. He thought she'd only be teaching him the basics about mutation, but all she did was attack him without explaining anything.

Suddenly, she appeared in front of him.

And for some reason, Atlan thought he was looking at a different person.

Aside from her feline mutations, there wasn't much that changed her physical appearance. She still had the same features as she had when she was in her human form.

However, her countenance and attitude were completely different from before.

Her eyes, which were usually filled with kindness and wisdom, were replaced with a sense of wildness that was only enhanced by her feline features. There was a sense of spiciness in her face.

Her usual straight posture was gone. She was slightly arched back, with her hips pushed forward and bent to the side. She had one hand on her hip, creating a visually striking flair that was completely uncharacteristic of what he knew about Lizzie.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She walked towards him, with her leg going over the other in a straight line. Her hips swayed subtly as her arms naturally swung to her side.

Atlan had to admit. He was a little bit intimidated by the current Lizzie. He was planning on teasing her, but it looked like he was the one being teased.

"You've been a bad man…a very very bad man."

"Have I?" Atlan retreated until he found the wall to his back.

"Yes," she said as she stroked his cheek with her long nails. "Just because you advanced so fast in your stages, you think you can play me around like that?"

Lizzie swayed her head to the side and smiled at him. "You're lucky, you're cute. Or else, I would have torn you apart."

When she mentioned his fast advancement, he suddenly noticed something in her body that made him audibly gasp out loud.

He deactivated his Physique LifeSkill and used his Thermal Vision to look at her entire body.

Aside from the dangerous curves on her body, he saw no sign of LifeSkill heat emanating from her body! He couldn't believe it. In all the times that she played with him and made him feel like a child, she never even used her LifeSkill power!

"You…you're not using your LifeSkill?"

Lizzie smiled. "Took you long enough to notice, Star Porter.

That's right. All I've been using this entire time is my mutation."

She then walked up closer to him and whispered in his ears. "And you want to know another secret?"

He looked at her. "What?"

"I'm only at the 1st stage Student realm…"

To say he was shocked into silence was an understatement. He just looked at her for an entire five seconds of silence as he tried to understand her words.

"Even when I'm only at the 1st stage, I can perform missions at the high Pre-Intern stages. Do you want to know why?"

The revelations she kept giving to him were too much information to process. He couldn't understand why she was only at the 1st stage Student realm and still be rated as a Savior in the Pre-Intern realm. It didn't make sense.

"The answer is my mutation. My feline bloodline allows me to have power that is equivalent to someone in the Pre-Intern stage."

"A mutation…is that powerful?"

He never knew that a mutation could bridge the gap between an entire realm! He thought he was already powerful by stomping Canzers rated above his level, but he didn't know that there was someone even more impressive than him!

If mutations were so powerful, then why were people even bothering to improve their LifeSkills?

And if he was so popular for performing missions two stages above his level, then why hadn't he heard anything about Lizzie and her ability to perform missions an entire realm above her LifeSkill?

Then, it finally clicked.

There was a reason why Lizzie knew someone as famous as Custodire, who was an indirect Masamune descendant in the Specialist realm.

There was a reason why Lizzie was allowed to be in the emergency meeting alongside the Elder Heads and the Specialist Saviors.

She had always been special. And Atlan was way too close to her to even notice it.

"A mutation is powerful, but only a select few can fully harness their power. I am one of the best."

Without even letting Atlan have a moment to consolidate all the new information he just learned, Lizzie started attacking him with slashes and cuts aimed straight at his body.

Atlan was forced to stumble around trying to protect himself. He couldn't see her, which meant he couldn't dodge her attacks.

And with his Thermal Vision, he saw her body barely even lit up. She wasn't using her LifeSkill.

He was forced to rely on his quick reflexes and physique defenses to guard against her imperceptible attacks.

And just as Atlan was about to land one attack on her after missing a hundred, she suddenly wrapped her legs around his head and tackled him to the ground.

Atlan found himself being straddled by a wild, feline, Lizzie.
