A Reaper's Philosophy-Chapter 68: Reward

Grayson kissed Lilith’s lips with great passion as his hands embraced her body.

"I- I thought you two were siblings or something!" Gen said with a look of shock.

Grayson and Lilith continued to embrace each other, not paying Gen any mind.

"I’m still here! Lilith, how could you do this to me? I already had names for our children!" Gen said with tears in his eyes.

"No, it’s not over. I just need to be more assertive now, like Grayson." Gen said to himself lifting up his spirit once again.

He then marched towards Lilith and Grayson then attempted to grab Lilith’s arm. Lilith then pushed Gen away with her tail and began to embrace Grayson elsewhere.

"Have you two got no dignity!" Gen exclaimed.

The other hosts assigned to Mission Z began to come back to the wall. One by one they arrived on top of the wall only to be kept under a stupor as they watched Grayson and Lilith strip each other’s clothes off.

"You know, I actually thought these two were siblings." A host in the crowd watching said. Nods of agreement then appeared all around the crowd of hosts. It was only until a superior came along did anyone attempt to break them off. They literally had to be pulled apart.

If they hadn’t eventually gotten turned off by the interruptions, none of them would have had the strength to stop them.

"Urgh, it was exciting at first, but now they are just a bother." Lilith said as she began to put her top back on.

Each person, male and female, were admiring the heaven defying bodies of the two people that almost made love in front of everyone.

"Lilith I-," Grayson began to say, but was cut off.

"Nope, I don’t want to know and ruin whatever is happening here. I’m just going to roll with it." Lilith said to Grayson.

"Now that that is over and done with, someone explain to me what happened here!" A superior officer from one of the towns spoke to everyone.

He was the one who would determine whether or not the mission has been passed by hosts the present. Everybody then turned to Grayson, waiting for his response.

"I eliminated the threat." Grayson said.

’I let you live.’ Death said smugly within Grayson’s thoughts.

’Shut up,’ Grayson quickly rebutted.

"This beast has appeared and disappeared throughout the centuries. It feeds on millions of souls and only disappears when a Heavenly Host or numerous Legendary Hosts overwhelm it, only to appear again decades later. How, could a mere Ordinary Host, kill an Unknown Beast?" The superior asked.

"I don’t know. How could my superior send an Ordinary Host to deal with an Unknown Beast?" Grayson asked rhetorically.

The superior clicked his tongue in disdain.

"I am a Mythical Host, and I declare this mission to have been a team effort!" The superior said.

A lot of beast cores were being offered up for the completion of Mission Z. It didn’t matter whether Death was eliminated or if it disappeared again. Their intervention stopped Death’s unstoppable approach. Naturally, they would be rewarded for it.

However, those who completed the mission knew it wasn’t a team effort. Only one host remained to deal with the threat, no one else was with him.

Everybody knew only a Heavenly Host or numerous Legendary Hosts were the only ones capable of dealing with Death. According to their line of thinking, Grayson was either a hidden Heavenly Host, or had the protection of one.

"I’m not sharing that reward!" Grayson said assertively.

Silence overcame everyone above the wall. Grayson then held both Lilith and Gen’s shoulders and disappeared with both of them. They then appeared on a path, the same path they used to get to their mission.

"What was that?" Lilith asked in surprise.

"I warped here. I bent the spacetime around us to get to this point." Grayson said.

"When did you learn that?" Lilith asked.

"I can see how everything works. Comprehending this wasn’t difficult." Grayson answered.

"You use the space and time element! That’s really rare. Did you really defeat Death?" Gen asked Grayson.

"Gen right? It’s coming back to me." Grayson said

"Tailed Lilith?" Grayson added.

"What’s going on with you?" Lilith asked.

"I would tell you, but I wouldn’t want to ruin whatever is happening here." Grayson responded.

He then grabbed both Gen and Lilith’s shoulders and warped over and over again till he finally reached the outskirts of Madsus City.

"Wow, your body is steaming!" Gen exclaimed as he watched streams of steam rise out of Grayson’s body.

"Seems like my body generates a lot of heat when I warp." Grayson hypothesized.

’I can’t warp too far. Evnoia is still suppressing me. To make it worse, Theos is giving me a cooldown time!’ Grayson thought to himself.

{You have warped 10/12 times today.}

{Cooldown time has begun 21:59:49}

{You will recover 1 warp every 2 hours.}

’It will take a whole day to recover this fully!’ Grayson exclaimed in his head as they approached the gates of the city.

"Grayson, I heard you were assigned to Mission Z. Good thing you were with Lilith. I was worried you could have died." Ravana said walking up to us.

"No sweat, I took care of it." Grayson said out loud.

"You?" Ravana asked in disbelief.

She knew Grayson was exceptional, but not so much that she would think he could handle an S-rank mission.

"You! You little pervert! Don’t you have anything to say after what you did?" Ravana asked in anger.

"I-I’m sorry." Gen said in a soft, quiet voice, unable to even look Ravana in the eyes.

"Come now little pervert." Grayson said to Gen as they walked past Ravana and into the city.

Lilith then slapped and squeezed Ravana’s soft, round ass as she walked past her. She then licked Ravana’s right cheek from bottom to top.

"I’m a pervert too." Lilith whispered into Ravana’s ear then walked away.

Ravana’s face immediately went red.

"You’re getting me excited." Grayson said giving Lilith a flirtatious glare.

"Hey, not in front of me this time." Gen said getting in between Grayson and Lilith.

Unfortunately, his words failed to reach them. His height, compared to the two, didn’t help either and only allowed his head to serve as an elbow rest.

"How about we get a joint room at The Bartender’s?" Grayson said to Lilith flirtatiously as he rested his elbow on Gen’s head.

"Oh, and what will you do once we get this joint room?" Lilith said reciprocating Grayson’s energy.

"Let’s just say you won’t have to use your tail anymore." Grayson whispered as his lips made direct contact with Lilith’s lips.

"I’m still down here!" Gen said feeling neglected.

Upon seeing that they paid no attention to him as they made out, he struck Grayson in his balls and Lilith on her breasts simultaneously.

Surprisingly, they didn’t even flinch and continued to make out. Gen’s hands however, became sore. Gen then used all of his power to step aside, taking away Grayson’s balance.

"Haha, sorry Gen. Let’s get going now." Grayson said then held Lilith and Gen’s shoulders.

He then warped once more and appeared in front of the Hardon Sect Palace. We were then teleported once more into a dark space with a white pillar and a jade like sphere on top of it.

Grayson could still hear the silent screams coming from within the darkness, this time even clearer than before.

"Help!"

"Please help us!"

"Help us please!"

Grayson didn’t react to the voices pleading and simply watched Gen place his hand on the sphere. Grayson and Lilith both kept their hands on Gen’s shoulder, and were all teleported into the sect right after. They then walked straight to Tempelis’ station and reported Grayson’s completion of Mission Z.

Chatters about Grayson and Mission Z could be audibly heard around Tempelis’ station.

"That’s the one who claimed to solo Mission Z."

"He’s just an Ordinary Host though!"

"Does anyone else get the urge to give him their entire body, heart, and soul when they look into his eyes?"

The atmosphere around the entire area changed when they walked in.

"Reporting the completion of Mission Z." Grayson said to Tempelis who was still levitating behind her counter.

’Why does he give a completely different pressure now!’ Tempelis thought to herself.

"Your completion will be approved, just as soon as you answer a question." Tempelis said to Grayson in a serious tone.

"Ask it." Grayson said as though giving Tempelis permission to do so.

"How did you, an Ordinary Host, defeat an Unknown Beast? I understand that some Unknown Beasts are actually on the weaker side, but this beast is from an S-rank mission and was already determined to need the intervention of a Heavenly Cultivator or hosts like Elder Mai to defeat it. It is literally impossible for you to have defeated it alone." Tempelis said.

"The emblem on Gen’s body would have already confirmed that I was alone when the monster was defeated. Stop wasting my time and give me my reward!" Grayson said coldly.

Goosebumps appeared all around Tempelis’ body upon hearing Grayson’s words.

"Why do I actually feel threatened?’ Tempelis thought to herself.

She remained calm then continued to speak.

"The emblem on Gen’s body did confirm that, but regrettably, it is only given to members of the sect and failed to record how you defeated the beast.

Seeing how you don’t have one, I have to ask you directly so that I can have something to keep on the records." Tempelis said more respectfully now.

"I practice the Path of Poison. My body is not only immune to poisons, but can also absorb them and use them to refine itself. Mission Z was nothing but a feast for me. That weak beast met its match." Grayson said confidently.

’You’re really milking it.’ Death said to Grayson.

’I am simply saying my truth.’ Grayson replied.

"Is that why your body seems different? You must have practiced your path to a really high level to be able to feed an Unknown Beast like Death. I approve your completion." Tempelis said then sped away.

’The way they talk about your body now, it’s almost as if you were hideous before I came along.’ Death said smugly.

’You don’t even have a body. I wish I could say you are competition, but you aren’t even in the game.’ Grayson responded to Death’s remark.

A few moments later, Tempelis returned holding two large bags.

"Here is your reward. 2 million electrums!" Tempelis said to Grayson.
