Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 114: Ninth name

Ninth couldn't believe it.

Was it pure luck? Or did whoever fire that projectile know about the Giant Werewolf's weakness? They must have known that it was weak against silver since they used it as ammo.

She followed the projectile's trajectory and saw that it came from the City Center. It was fired from an incredibly long distance! No kid at the low Student stage could ever have the strength to pull that off. The only ones that could even have the strength to do that were either that kid Razer from Olympus or Yasmine. However, none of them had LifeSkills that related to projectiles.

She didn't even sense any power from the silver pellet at all. Whoever fired it off used only their pure brute strength! She couldn't believe that anyone would be that accurate without the use of a LifeSkill. But they did.

She wanted to know who this person was.

"Ninth, did you find anything about how it died?"

She shook her head. "Not yet."

Pterina fixed her eyeglasses. "This is incredibly strange. We hadn't even finished procuring the construct, yet the Canzer is already dead. The Werewolf should have continued to be immortal."

None of them could bring out a satisfying answer for the Inquisitor. She was an Operator, so she knew best about how Canzers were dealt with. No amount of pure power could overcome a Destruction Canzer's regenerative ability. It was the reason why Operators were crucial in missions.

This was the first time this happened.

The weird thing about this was that no one admitted to doing it. If they brought themselves forward, then they would have been rewarded by HeadQuarters for such an amazing feat.

"Could it be an Operator? How else would they have known to use silver?"

Pterina shook her head at the guess. She was the only Operator sanctioned to enter the Remedium during this circumstance. She wouldn't even be allowed to step foot near the portal if she didn't have to deliver the new Canzer Report to the Saviors.

"I'll have to investigate this thoroughly. HeadQuarters is going to want some answers. And since you're already here, why don't we start with all of you."

Ninth shrugged. Interrogation was normal protocol during anomalies like this, so she wasn't surprised. Sooner or later, Pterina would have come knocking on their doors anyway.

"Tell me your basic information: your name, power realm, and your mission."

"My name is Neumann the Ninth. I am at the 3rd stage of the Specialist Realm and my mission is to lead my team and extinguish the dangerous Canzer in this Pocket Remedium…"

Yasmine and Atlan kept their bodies low as they sprinted from street to street, making sure to avoid any soldiers patrolling the area. Continue reading on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

To leave this Pocket Remedium, they would have to find their way back to the mansion where the portal was located. However, the only way to get back to the mansion was to go through hundreds of soldiers stationed all around the perimeter.

The nearer they got to the Orioness mansion, the harder it was to evade the soldiers.

Yasmine was the one leading Atlan through the secluded alleyways, but she only relied on her senses to hear the footsteps of the soldiers. She couldn't sense the soldiers standing in place.

Atlan took charge of their escape once she realized that he could sense soldiers even better than her. She looked at him in surprise once he was able to sense five guards standing behind the wall to surprise the other delinquents. It was as if he could see through walls!

With his accurate senses, they were able to advance through the streets and avoid the soldiers lurking to catch them.

Once they caught sight of the mansion, they saw tens of soldiers guarding the gates and the doors with their electric batons activated.

They had to stop for a minute and think up a solution.

"Let's see if there's a gap in their security," whispered Yasmine.

While they observed guards, they saw three individual Saviors try to run past the security. They successfully caught the guards off guard and got past the gate, but they failed to take account of the other soldiers inside the mansion. They ended up getting tased as soon as they stepped foot past the door.

"Looks like we can't run inside," whispered Atlan.

Yasmine looked around the mansion and calculated that the best way to get in was through the roof or the top floors. However, the buildings close to the mansion were tightly guarded to prevent delinquents from infiltrating in.

The only place with no guards was the third floor facing south. It was clear why. There were no buildings near it for an easy jump. If someone wanted to infiltrate the third floor, they would have to jump from a roof 50 meters away! Normal Student realm Saviors had no way of jumping that gap.

Of course, Yasmine and Atlan were no mere Saviors.

She led Atlan towards the next-door building and made their way up to the roof.

Now that they were here, fifty meters looked far. Yasmine had no confidence in jumping that far, so she had to use her mutation called 'Stepping Stone' which allowed her to step on air.

Yasmine looked away from Atlan and muttered something under her breath. "Ho—hold…my hand and…I'll take you where we need to go…"

I'm only doing this because we can't jump that far. I'm not doing this just because I want to hold his hand—not that I want to!

When she didn't feel the warmth of his hand, Yasmine whipped her head to the side and was surprised to see no one there. She looked forward and saw Atlan on the third floor, waving at her with an annoying smile on his face.

He already jumped and made it all the way there!

Yasmine kept her head down as she stepped into the air and slowly made her way to the third floor.

Atlan tilted his head. "Why do you look mad?"

"Nothing!"
