Chapter 100: Do you understand me?
Atlan hovered above the terrified Pseudo Canzers. They trampled and ran over each other as they tried to get as far away as they could from his Angel Wings. They were scared to death.
He moved forward, and the Canzers pushed themselves into a corner opposite him. He was like a dog herding sheep. He carefully guided the lost and horrified Canzers toward the corner of the warehouse. Those at the back quickly jumped over those in the front in a bid to be the one farthest away from him.
They didn't know that it didn't matter. They would all die anyway.
Atlan raised his slingshot and aimed it at the mass of monsters. This time, he didn't use his Physique LifeSkill to store energy in the bands.
He manifested a giant hand to grasp his Apocalyptic Hellfire LifeSkill once again. And just like before, a bluish-green fire erupted in the super condensed steel ball, growing larger as the magic flowed out of his body and into the slingshot.
He knew from experience that his accuracy improved if he released his shot while he exhaled.
A line of fire appeared as soon as he let go of the slingshot. And almost instantaneously, the ground from where he aimed exploded into a great big ball of bluish-green apocalyptic fire. In less than a second, all the groans and terrified cries of the Pseudo Canzers turned into the sounds of burning chitin and flesh.
Smoke and ash filled the air as the fire consumed all the bodies of the monsters instantly, turning all of them into blackened carcasses that turned into ash with one gentle breeze from the air.
[You have killed a simple creature: Pseudo Canzers] x392
[Due to your trait, you have multiplied your rewards by 10]
[You have gained 50 F class Thermal Vision LifeSkill fragments]
[You have gained 30 (1-star) Pseudo Canzer Genus]
[You have gained 39,200 experience]
Just like he guessed, he got more LifeSkill fragments and Genus from killing Canzers instead of just reaping their deaths.
He gained more experience and rewards even though he killed less than the deaths he reaped earlier.
Atlan took a deep breath and lowered himself back down the rubble-filled floor of the warehouse. He retracted his Angel Wings immediately. He was a little bit tired.
Using his mutation felt like he was performing push-ups with his 'wings muscle' every second he flapped his wings to move and fly. It was exhausting.
Lizzie wasn't lying when she said that mutations were akin to extra body parts.
He could do 100 pushups with his 'angel wing muscle' which corresponded to about 100 seconds of continuous exertion of his angel wings. If he was flying at full speed, then he would only last 100 seconds. But if he took his time and barely hovered in the air, then he could last much longer.
Atlan also felt that his 'angel wing muscle' got stronger every time he used it, just like a real muscle. He was incentivized to keep using his mutation as much as possible, but he was limited to where he could show off his strange mutation.
[Do you want to merge all of your fragments?]
[Upgrade Points required: 140,000]
[Fragments required: 48]
Atlan let the Soul System handle all of the upgrades and witnessed the Upgrade Points do their magic. It wasn't long until the Thermal Vision LifeSkill planet was upgraded into a new class.
—Scout: (SR) Thermal Vision
——— 1st stage Student
———— (0 / 1000)
———— 6x F class fragments
Atlan was surprised to see that his Scout LifeSkill was now in the SR class! He never heard of anyone having a LifeSkill greater than S class, but now he surpassed it just by upgrading it through all of the LifeSkill fragments he got from reaping the Pseudo Canzer's death.
Atlan quickly upgraded this LifeSkill to the 2nd stage.
[You have successfully advanced through the 1st Stage Student Realm of your SR class LifeSkill Thermal Vision]
[Consolidation period: 12 hrs: 59 mins: 50secs]
Now, he was given the chance to merge all of his newly acquired Genus.
[Do you want to merge all of your (1-star) Pseudo Canzer Genus?]
[Upgrade Points required: 46,000]
Nothing changed this time as the Upgrade points created another helix structure that was much more intricate than the one before.
[Genus]
—1x (6-star) Pseudo Canzer
[You have gained the (6-star) mutation Pseudo Canzer whisperer]
Atlan gained a new mutation from this new Genus. He wasn't surprised. Now that his Pseudo Canzer genus was in the 6-star rarity, it had a higher chance of spawning a mutation.
Whisperer? Does it mean that I can whisper to Pseudo Canzers? .net
He immediately wanted to try it out. Fortunately, there were still a few ones still left alive that got stuck in his Spiked Chitin Spray near the door. Their bodies were full of scratches and cuts as they got entangled deeper and deeper into the thorned web. They struggled, but it was useless.
Atlan approached them. These Pseudo Canzers just witnessed their brethren get incinerated into ash and dust with just one shot. Not only that, they couldn't forget that time when they saw this human suddenly sprout Angel Wings on his back. Suffice it to say, they were petrified to see him approach.
He closed his eyes and concentrated on his tongue. He tried to bring out his new mutation.
To be honest, Atlan didn't know how to bring out a mutation. He was only able to use his Angel Wings because he already accidentally activated it during his first mission. After that incident, he was able to feel his new 'angel wing muscle' in his back and he could summon it whenever he wanted.
However, he didn't know how to do that with his new mutation. It was like trying to move your sixth finger when you only have five. It was like trying to open your third eye when all you've ever had was two.
He tried to replicate the sensations he felt when he activated his Angel Wings. He remembered it clearly. First, his shoulder blades turned numb and a prickly feeling appeared on his skin before the Angel Wings sprouted out of his body.
Trying to transfer that feeling to his mouth, he suddenly felt the same numb and prickly sensation in his throat. He focused on it and tried to push it even further.
After a few failures, Atlan finally produced a sound in his throat that didn't sound human. It sounded Canzerous.
'Do you understand me?'
The Pseudo Canzer in front of him seized. It couldn't believe that the human was speaking their language.
It couldn't handle the stress and died from the shock.
[You have killed a simple creature]
[You have gained 100 experience]
