Chapter 116: Do you?
Chapter 116: Do you?
Atlan couldn't even believe that his silver pellet helped kill the colossal Canzer. He knew that it was going to hit the Humanoid Wolf, but he wasn't sure if his strength would be enough to penetrate its tough skin.
As it turned out, it did. He assisted in killing the monster and got rewarded for his contribution.
The only thing he thought he'd get was a lot of experience, which was true. He got 20,000 experience just from that one Canzer because it was at a higher difficulty than Atlan's stage. He was only in the Student realm while he guessed that the Canzer was even beyond that.
However, he hadn't expected that he would get a LifeSkill from it too! And it wasn't just any LifeSkill, it was a berserker LifeSkill at the Pre-Intern realm!
It was the realm above the Student stage.
He didn't even think that it was possible.
All the LifeSkills I got started at the 1st stage Student. It must be because all the Canzers I killed are also at the Student stage difficulty.
But this Canzer is above that. It's probably the reason why it started in the Pre-Intern realm.
Now that he knew that this was a possibility, he was tempted to fight stronger and stronger Canzers. If he fought another Canzer like that colossal Humanoid Wolf, then it was more than possible to get a LifeSkill at the Intern realm or even at the Specialist realm!
Stop. It's already lucky for me to have come out alive from that incident. If reinforcements didn't come, then that Canzer could have killed all of us…

Atlan had to remind himself that huge rewards always came with huge risks.
Even if he only wanted to go to Pocket Remediums and kill tons and tons of Pseudo Canzers, there was no telling whether an anomaly like this incident would happen again. It was likely that another colossal Canzer could appear if he kept on summoning Pseudo Canzers endlessly.
Although he would get a lot of LifeSkills, Genuses, and experience from killing a lot of Pseudo Canzers, it wasn't worth risking his life for.
I don't even know if people will still open their Pocket Remediums once this incident becomes widespread.
It was only a matter of time till they found out that there were people killed inside the Pocket Remedium.
"Are you listening to me?" Yasmine faced Atlan with a serious look on her face.
Atlan was too focused on his Soul System that he didn't hear anything Yasmine said.
"It was nice spending time with you," Yasmine said. "But I can't be your friend. I can't be anyone's. I will always prioritize my progression over building relationships with others."
Atlan stayed silent. He was thankful to Yasmine for helping him evade capture. He also enjoyed those brief moments when she showed her true self and talked with him like a normal person. However, she always seemed to put on a cold face soon after.
"You are my rival. I am yours. Don't you dare have others, okay?" Yasmine leaned and poked his chest to make sure he remembered.
Competing with him was the only way she could rationalize her obsession with him.
Without saying anything else, Yasmine turned around and slowly walked away.
Atlan would have wanted to be friends with Yasmine, but she respected her decision. He was glad that she considered him as someone to beat.
"Girl's hearts are fickle, aren't they?"
Two people suddenly came out from the room where the portal was located. They wore white tunics with green sashes over their shoulders—a Vanguard battle suit from the great Olympus mountain rangers.
Atlan was surprised to see two familiar faces: Razer and Sola.
"I hope you're not here to continue our fight. I'm not in the mood."
Razer innocently raised both of his hands. "Don't worry, Star Porter. I'm not here to settle our differences."
Their previous fight left Razer coughing up blood with an internal injury. It burned his competitive spirit. He would have wanted to brawl it out with Atlan right in the Pocket Remedium, but the horde of Pseudo Canzers stopped him from trying to fight seriously.
Razer and Atlan chatted to themselves.
Sola, on the other hand, kept her eyes on Atlan. She couldn't believe what she heard from Razer. He said that the Genesian porter had the capacity to fight on equal grounds against him, even while using all of his mutations and LifeSkill.
She simply couldn't believe it. There was a two-stage difference between them; they shouldn't be equal at all.
Yet, Razer swore on the All-Father that Atlan had a 50% percent chance of defeating him in a duel. Even the other Olympians who saw Atlan's strength first-hand endorsed him as someone who could rival the genius Razer.
She knew that they wouldn't lie about it, but the picture they painted was still too much of an exaggeration for her to believe.
The two of them didn't fight in the race, so she didn't know anything about his capabilities.
"Have you recovered from your injuries?" asked Atlan.
Razer nodded his head. "Yes. I was knocked out by that colossal Canzer but the body bestowed upon me by the Almighty Zeus allowed me to recover quite quickly.
Gah! That was one monster. I heard it's a Specialist-level Canzer at that. No wonder I lost an entire year of my SoulTime from just one of its attacks."
So it was a Specialist-level Canzer. No wonder I got a Pre-Intern LifeSkill.
"How about you? Did you tussle with the beast?"
"I ran away from the Canzer," Atlan answered.
"Hoh! A sensible action. Don't worry. We'll have plenty of time to get stronger and kill Specialist level Canzers with the flick of our fingers!"
Sola couldn't believe that Razer was talking about killing Canzers with Atlan. He was a porter; they weren't supposed to kill Canzers.
"By the way. I speak on behalf of all our Gods when I say that you are one of the bravest heroes the world has ever seen.
Do you want to join Olympus?"
