Chapter 106: Weakness
Chapter 106: Weakness
Atlan didn't know why these Canzers would choose to destroy a silver chariot of all things.
He looked around the Pocket Remedium and saw no sign of other Pseudo Canzers present in the Pocket Remedium. Everything had been turned into that brown liquid and joined their brethren in the colossal humanoid wolf.
It was as if they existed solely for the purpose of destroying this one single chariot. It was way too suspicious.
Atlan jumped off the ledge of the building and landed directly on the front of the Pseudo Canzers. There were three of them, one was Owl-Horse, the other had a chameleon's upper half, and the other an Opossum centaur.
They all jumped in surprise when they saw a human suddenly appear in the middle of their route.
'Human!...fear…'
'Leave…camouflage….'
'.....'
The three Pseudo Canzers all had different reactions. The Owl-Horse turned its head 180 degrees away from Atlan in fear and slowly backed away. The Chameleon-Horse tried to camouflage its whole body to the surrounding, but only its top half turned translucent. And the Opossum-Horse simply tried to play dead in front of him. Its horse legs tapped its backfoot in nervousness.
Atlan eyebrows turned uneven when he saw these three weird Pseudo Canzers. They weren't the smartest out of the bunch, and they especially weren't the most aggressive ones.
He was ready for a physical confrontation between them, but they didn't even try to fight him. They already feared him even though he hadn't even used his Angel Wings to intimidate them yet.
'Why are you trying to destroy the silver chariot?' Atlan asked in their language.
The Owl-Horse's eyes dilated in surprise. None of them expected to suddenly hear a human speaking their language! This made them extremely confused as to whether Atlan was a comrade or an enemy.
'You…is…me?'
'Part…of…us….'
Atlan didn't know what to say. 'Yes?'
As soon as he said that, he saw them heave a sigh of relief. He could see them lower their defenses to him as if he was truly a part of them now. The Opossum-Horse finally stopped playing dead and welcomed their newcomer.
'You…scare…I'
'Sorry about that,' replied Atlan. He still felt incredibly weirded out that he was having a full-blown conversation with Pseudo Canzers as if he were friends with them. They moved closer to him, and Atlan had to resist the defensive urge to hit them all in the throat and knock them out in one go.

He restrained himself. He still needed to know what they were trying to do.
'Why do you want to destroy this chariot?'
His words sent out a jolt of fear in their eyes. They immediately walked and pulled the chariot forward without saying another word. Atlan noticed that as they moved forward, they were getting further and further away from the colossal Humanoid Wolf.
Is this related to that monster, Atlan thought.
'Weakness…silver…must…destroy…'
Weakness? Atlan's eyes widened. Do they mean that Pseudo Canzers like them are weak against silver? No, that doesn't make sense. If they were weak against it, then they wouldn't go anywhere near it.
It was then that a thought popped up in his mind. He pieced together the facts he observed throughout this whole ordeal.
The appearance of these Pseudo Canzers was the first clue. They were the only ones left alive. Judging from their zealousness towards becoming part of the colossal monster, Atlan guessed that the Humanoid Wolf was their leader. It could command them to sacrifice themselves to heal its wounds or reform its body to become as tall as a mountain.
This meant that the Canzer had full control over all the Pseudo Canzers.
Then it must mean that the appearance of these three Pseudo Canzers was no mere coincidence. They were summoned here for a very specific reason. And that reason was to dispose of Yasmine's silver chariot.
Next, Atlan thought about why they would specifically target Yasmine's chariot and not the others. If they simply wanted to get rid of the best chariot, then they should have gotten Sola's golden chariot which had a much better durability than the silver chariot by a long shot.
And they didn't choose it because it was Yasmine's. It was a coincidence. After all, she only rode this chariot because she was the second one to subdue a Pseudo Canzer.
Then it must be because it was made out of pure silver.
And if these Pseudo Canzers were summoned to get rid of the silver chariot away from the colossal Canzer, then there was only one conclusion that he could come up with.
'Is the giant humanoid wolf weak against silver?' he asked them.
When they said that, they nodded their heads fervently and tried to get rid of the silver chariot even faster than before. The quicker they finished the mission, the faster they could go back into the colossal Canzer. And by doing a great service, then it would give them more benefits than the others.
Atlan finally understood why the Humanoid Wolf chose to use these Pseudo Canzers.
If it wanted the fastest one to get rid of the Canzer, then it could have summoned a Cheetah-Horse to do its bidding. But it knew that by doing so, it would garner the attention of the humans. Like Atlan, they would find it suspicious. It chose these three centaurs because they were the sneakiest out of the bunch.
'Faster…faster…faster…'
'Strange….why no…fast?'
'Push!....push!'
The three Pseudo Canzers used their hind legs to push the chariot away even faster, but they soon found it to be as heavy as a mountain. They couldn't even move it an inch!
"Thanks for the information," Atlan said in his human language.
The three of them didn't even know what happened. They were decapitated in an instant.
Atlan couldn't let them get rid of such an advantage. Now that he knew that the gigantic Humanoid Wolf had a weakness against silver, then this chariot would come extremely handy in his survival.
BOOM!
Just then, everyone's eyes were suddenly pulled towards the entrance of the Colosseum.
Everyone's exhausted expressions slowly turned into one of relief once they realized who finally arrived.
