Chapter 108 : Heavy construct
This was not a coincidence. There was no way that these Specialist Saviors brought a gigantic silver bullet into the Remedium just for nothing. They were going to use it to kill the colossal Canzer!
Did they know that this gigantic Humanoid Wolf was weak against silver? That's the only explanation.
And as he observed this large bullet, he was surprised to feel a faint resonance with it. It was as if there was a part of himself in that object!
His shoulder blades turned numb and prickly as the Angel Wings inside him squirmed. It also felt that brief resonance with the object, and it wanted to reunite with that feeling.
There was no mistaking it; there was a tinge of Angel power in that bullet!
That object was made out of silver and had Angel power within it. Those were good reasons to believe that the large silver bullet they were carrying was an Operator's construct.
These objects were specifically made by Operators to disable and counteract a Destruction Canzer's regeneration ability. That object was the reason why Saviors were able to defeat a Canzer that healed their injuries infinitely.
Does this mean that all Canzers are weak against silver?
I know that Canzers are weak against Angel power. Of all the monsters I came across, all of them had an adverse reaction when they saw my Angel Wings. But now it's clear that silver also plays a part in killing this colossal monster.
But if all Canzers are weak against silver, then shouldn't all weapons used by Saviors be made out of silver?
Does it mean that only this particular Canzer is weak against silver?
If that was true, then Atlan found the work of Operators a lot more interesting. If Canzers all had different kinds of weaknesses, then that meant that an Operator's job entailed them finding out the Canzer's weakness.
Atlan wanted to know how they knew that silver was effective against this colossal Humanoid Wolf.
Did they encounter this specific Canzer before? And if they did, then how did they know about its weaknesses? Did they go through trial and error?
He only found out about that monster's silver weakness because he understood the Pseudo Canzer's language. Do they also understand Pseudo Canzers? After all, they were the ones who designed this Pocket Remedium and created them…
No matter how much Atlan wanted his questions answered, he wouldn't be able to figure out the truth until he questioned the Operators themselves.
'AWOOOOO!'
The colossal Humanoid Wolf howled at the black moon and thrashed its claws around its body, slicing skyscrapers beside it and sending rubble and glass shards everywhere. But no matter how much it tried, it couldn't get rid of the pesky humans flying around its body.
Three Specialist Saviors worked in tandem as they attacked the humongous Canzer with great coordination and synergy. Atlan barely saw their moves, but he was able to see the remnants of their powers through his Thermal Vision.
One of the Saviors attacked the body, and the other two defended against the claws. Even in the air, they moved with swift fluidity, creating depth in their attack formations.
The only reason why the others were able to see the Specialist Saviors fighting the Canzer was because of the huge gashes and burns that appeared all over the Canzer's body. There were times when huge chunks of the Humanoid Wolf's body got taken out without any sign of a cut at all.
Their impressive show of power raised the hopes of the survivors witnessing the fight.
However, try as they might, they couldn't overcome the Canzer's regenerative ability. With each injury and wound it sustained, brown liquid flowed from the streets and replenished the Canzer's growing body endlessly.
It was clear that they needed the help of other Specialist Saviors if they wanted to kill this Canzer. After all, there were only three of them attacking the Canzer! Usually, a group of five or six Saviors was needed to fight a Canzer like this.
However, the other four people were stuck carrying the large silver bullet through the streets.
Usually, an Operator's construct was carried by a porter like Atlan. After all, it weighed hundreds or thousands of kilograms at a minimum. If a normal Savior were to carry this in the Remedium, then they would be too burdened to traverse the dangerous terrain. That was why porters were needed. They had the proper LifeSkill to still be agile even if they had tons of weight on their shoulders.
Those four Saviors weren't porters. As far as Atlan knew, porters were very rare in the City, which was why he was warmly welcomed when he was drafted here. The only other person he knew who was a porter was Garuun, who was also in the Specialist realm.
Why isn't he here to help them? Atlan pondered.
Because there was no porter, four Saviors were needed just to haul the very heavy silver bullet into the Pocket Remedium. And because of that, they couldn't contribute to the fight.
"Is it ready?" the leader of the Specialist Saviors flew towards the four Saviors carrying the bullet.
"Yes. We'll install it ASAP."
Once they saw that the Canzer was in the construct's effective range, they put down the silver bullet in the ground.
The construct crashed onto the street, destroying the concrete on the ground and creating a small crater below it.
They didn't have to do anything else. The construct activated itself as strange curvy lines appeared on the surface of the silver bullet. It glowed a golden light that Atlan recognized to have the same ethereal glow as his Angel Wings.
The rounded end of the silver bullet suddenly floated up and aimed itself at the rampaging Humanoid Wolf in the distance. The Canzer was still too preoccupied with dealing with the two Specialist Saviors flying around its face to notice that a bullet was aimed directly at its chest.
"Good. I'm getting tired of this. Once its regeneration is disabled, we can finally get serious," the leader of the Specialist Saviors stretched her body.
Even though they were slicing buildings in half and crushing steel structures like it was nothing, it turned out that they were still holding themselves back!
Why would they waste energy if the Canzer was going to regenerate anyway?
