Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals Chapter 354 Renewed sense

"Is that an earthquake?" the mage asked.

But the scout, with his enhanced vision and senses, knew that sothing was wrong.

"No. It's not that. It's sothing much worse."

He asked permission from Ninth to separate from the group and try to see what was going on in the distance. Their leader agreed, only with the caveat that he should not go too far off.

The scout rushed to the direction of the rumbling, while the rest of the team remained in their places. Their hands were still placed on their weapons, ready to strike whenever sothing appeared.

After a few minutes, the scout finally returned.

But this ti, his face was aghast. It was as if he had seen a ghost.

"Haa..haaa…"

And judging by how exhausted he looked, it seed that the scout was forced to run away from whatever he saw, or else he would have been caught by them.

"What did you see?" Ninth asked.

The scout walked to Ninth and grabbed her shoulders. "It's…it's a horde! There are about a thousand monsters and Canzers marching towards our location right now! And with how fast they were going, they'll reach us in a matter of minutes!"

The rest of the team was shocked to their core. It was one thing to fight against one Specialist-level Canzer. It was one thing to fight two of them at the sa ti. But to fight a thousand Canzer marching towards them with the express thought of killing them was far too much to think about.

"We should go! Leave, leave right now!" the scout said.

Even the rest of her team agreed.

"Ninth, let's retreat now."

"They're right. We can't possibly fight against all of them."

But for so reason, Ninth didn't move. She looked at the Scout and saw that he was far too distraught. Even though a thousand Canzers were nothing to scoff at, it wasn't entirely too frightening. With that many Canzers, their weakness was their slowness.

"What aren't you telling ?" Ninth asked.

But the scout kept his mouth shut. "I don't want to tell you. You don't want to know."

Ninth was annoyed. She was supposed to be their leader, yet one of her teammates wasn't treating her with the respect a leader should have.

"Out with it! Or I'll have to go there myself to look."

The scout imdiately wrapped his arms around Ninth's legs. "No, please. Don't!"

But Ninth didn't stop. She continued to walk, dragging the scout with her.

"Stop! Okay, I'll tell you. But the reason I don't want to is because I know how you'll react."

"How will I react?"

The scout looked at his teammates, and they knew what he was talking about.

"Don't think we haven't noticed," the scout said. "Ever since we encountered that…that….that dragon, you've been acting weird. You're too aggressive and too emotional. It's clear that you felt sothing when you faced that dragon."

Ninth's eyes widened as she looked at her team. She didn't think they knew. She thought she kept it a secret, but it seed her emotions were as clear as day.

She felt even more vulnerable now.

"You…you knew…"

"Yes! Now, let's go. I saw that the one leading the horde was another dragon! It's different from the one before, but it's still as dominating as the last one. We need to leave now."

Ninth had her head down, with her eyes moistening.

Even though she prided herself as the genius who reached Specialist-level at the youngest age, it turned out that her confidence was not yet earned. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

If it was any other veteran Savior, they wouldn't have felt fear when facing a dragon. Instead, they would feel excited at the thought of fighting it.

But she seed to have lost that. She was afraid of fighting it and wanted to leave the Redium altogether.

If she can't even fight a dragon, then did she even deserve to be a Savior?

Maybe they were right. Maybe, they should leave and escape from the dragon-led horde.

Just then, Ninth looked towards Tulip. And she saw sothing she didn't think she would ever see in the eyes of a Canzer.

There was a belief in those eyes, as if Tulip trusted with her whole chitinous heart that Ninth would sohow get them out of this situation.

The strangest thing was that it wasn't out of desperation, but because of admiration. In Tulip's eyes, it was as if she believed that Ninth was the hero she needed in these tis.

A Canzer was treating a human as her Savior.

Ninth was reminded of the reason why she beca a Savior in the first place. When she was a child, she also idolized a woman of great caliber. Whenever a Symptom appeared and all seed lost, that woman would always appear and save everyone from harm.

She wanted to be like that woman, to be the person everyone looks up to whenever sothing bad happens. So, she worked hard through the years and was finally able to beco one of the top Specialist Saviors in the entire Genesis City.

She thought she achieved her dream.

But was she really the savior she wanted to beco? Would her idol run away from a fight against a mighty dragon like she did? Would she fear for her life trying to fight against a horde of monsters?

The answer was a resounding no.

"Ninth, we should go now!" her teammates pleaded to her.

Everyone looked at her eyes, and they were surprised to see a fire lit in her irises. There was no longer any fear or trepidation present in her soul. It was as if she regained all the confidence she had at her best.

"Ninth?"

"We can't run away. We'll fight the horde and the dragon."

The rest of her team was confused. They thought that Ninth was deathly afraid of fighting a dragon. And they wouldn't be facing it alone, it had an entire army of Canzers at its beck and call.

"Are you serious?" they asked.

"Yes. Prepare to give it everything you've got. Cause I will."
