Chapter 102: Coagulate
Atlan was speechless. He unfolded his Angels Wings and hovered above the shallow flood of brown liquid flowing everywhere. He didn't know if this strange fluid was toxic or not, so he went with precaution and landed on a tall box to the side.
He squatted down and observed the liquid. And as soon as he took a whiff of its smell, a musky and earthy scent hit his nose. He could only attribute this odor to smelly dogs he saw loitering the streets in Genesis City.
He was worried that the flooding would get higher and trap him inside, but it seemed he worried for nothing. He looked down and saw the flood recede at a relatively faster pace than when it arrived. This was strange. The only exit to this warehouse was the exit door in front of Atlan, which would not explain how it was able to leak out at such a fast pace.
The flooding receded to the point where Atlan could see the tilings on the floor. It surprised him to see that the liquid was flowing out of the tiny, almost microscopic gaps in the walls.
And the liquid wasn't flowing, it was moving! If it behaved like a normal liquid, it would flow out in all directions. But this fluid wasn't normal. It leaked out only to the north-facing wall. It was as if it was attracted by something out in the distance.
Atlan activated his SR class Thermal Vision LifeSkill and saw the brown liquid turn into a cool blue color. This meant that the liquid was cold, ice cold, which was very typical of Canzers.
As he looked around, he was surprised to find that he was able to see through walls with his Thermal Vision much further than he thought. He could even see the other Pseudo Canzers out of the shopping mall with much more clarity and variation in their body temperature.
So this is the difference between A class and SR class…
Back then, he couldn't see past thick walls and far distances. But because he upgraded it to SR class, it was as if he gained a vision that could see through everything.
He followed the direction of the flowing liquid as he flew with his Angel Wings out of the warehouse. He made sure to just barely hover above the liquid to make sure that no one saw him. And using his Thermal Vision, he was sure that there were no witnesses to his secret power.
With his enhanced vision, he saw the cool-blue liquid flowing from all over the place. The warehouse wasn't the only outflow of the brown liquid. He saw streams of liquid flowing out from houses, gutters, and the streets as it all pooled towards the north.
He returned to the main track and saw all the corpses that Yasmine and the others killed. It all turned into a brown liquid as well.
SPLAT!...BOOM!....SPATUNK!
The sounds of fleshy explosions caught his attention. Behind two buildings on the other side of the street, he saw multiple Pseudo Canzers blow up into a brown mist that soon pooled together and flowed towards one place.
The liquid all converged towards the Colosseum!
He squinted his eyes. He faintly saw a convergence of heat signatures near the base of the Colosseum. He recognized them. Yasmine and the others were already near the entrance of the Colosseum but they didn't enter it.
No, more like they couldn't.
He moved forward and saw that the liquid moved faster and faster as they got closer to their destination. Atlan retracted his Angel Wings and used his legs to keep up with their speed. If he used his mutation, he would risk getting seen by the others.
Running through the streets as fast as he could, he finally came close enough to see everyone's expressions. Razer, Yasmine, Sola, and the rest of the competitors stood frozen as they looked in front of them–towards where the brown liquid was converging.
Everyone watched as the strange fluid pooled into two stumps that grew upwards. It wasn't long before everyone realized that these weren't stumps, they were legs! Rudimentary toes formed outwards, similar to humans, but the nails had sharp claws at the ends.
The liquid flowed up the legs, slowly filling in the gaps and creating more volume as it grew bigger.
They had to look up. Even though it was already the size of a human, it still wasn't finished forming the legs. They dreaded the eventual size that this monstrosity would turn into.
It wasn't long before the torso and two arms formed, which was as long as the legs.
Its back was hunched and had strangely human muscles, with pecs, abs, and delts featured prominently on its body. But as the strange brown liquid covered more and more of its body, it started to develop thick and prickly fur that covered every inch of its bare skin.
As the liquid flowed up to its stump of a head, it grew more and more fur around its neck like a mane.
Its head grew more and more complex, gaining a prominent snout like that of a dog's, but with sharp fangs on the front that were almost as long as a human's torso.
It formed pointy ears on the top of its head, like that of an alert canine. More and more liquid flowed up from its body and covered its entire head in the same black fur that contrasted the vastly white color of the Remedium. Continue your journey with m|v-l'-NovelBin.net
Finally, the brown liquid molded into two drops that settled atop its prominent snout, creating eyes that slowly gained clarity and consciousness. Everyone held their breaths as its black eyes suddenly turned red as if it finally awoke from its long slumber.
Its scarlet eyes looked down at the humans below.
Even though they were Saviors in their own right, they couldn't help but get weak in the knees when this towering monster as tall as a two-story building looked down at them as if they were puny ants.
It opened its large snout and looked up at the sky, towards the black full moon up above.
'AWOOOOOO!'
