Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

He knew from the very start that the White Canzer was guilty of all her crimes. However, he seemed to have forgotten that.

The moment he set his eyes on the White Canzer, it was as if all the memories of her evil deeds were erased from his mind. He became enamored with her beauty so much that he became an idiot.

He could not believe that he let himself get to such a state. He had never made this mistake before.

"I can't believe it…" The Huntsman, in his despair, fell on his knees.

"I cannot believe it myself," the Queen uttered. "If it weren't for my loyal servants, I would have died from the poisoned apple."

The Huntsman covered his head in shame. He should have realized from the very beginning that everything that came out of the White Canzer's mouth was all lies. There was not a speck of truth in everything she said.

The lie that the Queen tried to kill her three times were all twisted truths. She was the one who tried to kill the entire royal family instead! She used the poisoned comb on the King and killed him with it. She used the laced bodice to suffocate the princess till she died, and finally, she used the poisoned apple to try and kill the Queen.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

It was an attempt to take control of the whole kingdom for herself. She was a psychopath willing to sacrifice even her family to finally ascend the throne and take control of the entire kingdom for herself.

Fortunately, her plan failed. The Queen survived and was able to report her crimes to the royal court. And now, the White Canzer was on the run.

The Huntsman, who touted himself as an ally of fairness, was supposed to be the one to bring justice for the entire royal family. But he failed to do so. Instead, he was tricked by her and even suspected the Queen of evil intent.

He slowly stood up, gripping his bow very tight. His eyes were full of rage and embarrassment. Not only did the White Canzer tarnish his reputation, but also trampled on his dignity. He gave her a helping hand, but he didn't know that she poisoned her hand and infected him with it to save herself.

"Please forgive me, your highness! I have made a grave mistake."

The Queen looked down at him. She was astute and saw the regret on his face.

She sighed. Even without him telling her, she could already guess what had happened. After all, this was not the first time when the White Canzer used her beauty to enamor and trick people into doing her bidding. It was the very reason why she was able to kill her husband and daughter so easily. It was because she had help from someone who also thought that he was doing the right thing.

"She convinced me that you wanted to kill her for her beauty. It is obvious now that it is not true."

"Even a rock can be bewitched by her. Do not blame yourself."

The Huntsman took two arrows from his quiver. He used one of them to carve two words onto the remaining arrow's tip. Engraved in it was: W.C.

This arrow will only be used to pierce through the White Canzer's heart. This wasn't a warning, it was a promise. He would not rest until his shame and embarrassment were washed away by the violet blood of that wicked princess.

"I only gave you a boar's heart to trick you. I must go now, Your Highness. I must retrieve the object of our original promise. But I will apologize right now, for that princess' heart could return to your hands as a mere squashed muscle."

"It's best if you don't, Huntsman. It has already been done. For my closure, it's best if I never hear or see that…being…for the rest of my life. I shall treat that boar's heart as a symbol for her death."

The Huntsman winced when the Queen mentioned the boar's heart. It was the symbol of his failure. It was a reminder that he broke his code of honor for an unworthy witch who tricked him.

He couldn't even be anywhere near the castle anymore, for it stored the boar's heart.

He walked away in shame, with the Queen hanging her head low on the throne.

"And ever since, the Huntsman will never approach anyone with a boar's heart. It became his weakness. Once you have a boar's heart, you can escape the Huntsman's hunt."

Atlan never knew that a Canzer's weakness was deeply intertwined with their backstory. Their history dictated their flaws.

He thought back to all the Canzers he encountered from here to now. The Ifrit, whose weakness was a magical oil lamp, must have had a backstory where it experienced something traumatic with the oil lamp as a catalyst.

And one thing he noticed was that all Canzers had a weakness against angel power. Does that mean that the origin of the Canzer species as a whole was intertwined with the Angels?

WHIZZ!

Atlan dodged another arrow to his head, scraping past his eyebrows.

"So how will I get the boar's heart? Can it be created with the control center?"

The black hexagonal box in his chest was a magical piece of equipment that could spawn all kinds of constructs by stitching together the different essences planted inside. He didn't know how it worked, but he imagined that it would be like piecing together different puzzle pieces into an entirely different picture.

"The control center can do a lot of things, but it cannot do that. Since the boar's heart is not a construct, but merely a weakness, your battle suit cannot create it out of nowhere. But what it can do is create something like a sonar which will point you in the direction of the nearest boar.

It is your job to find that boar, kill it, and harvest its heart. But be careful, the Huntsman will do everything in its power to stop you from unearthing its weakness."
