Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 37: (Bonus) Plan

Atlan kept his eyes on the Canzer in front of him. He tried his best to calm his nerves as he heard the other two Canzers stomping at the ground and running towards him at top speeds.

Those two were still ways away from him. But the immediate threat to his life right now was the gurgling Canzer preparing to spout acid towards his face.

TSHHOOO

Just as he thought, the Canzer pointed its large red tongue towards him, and a straight line of green goo shot towards him at fast speeds.

Atlan saw the goo coming towards him with crystal clear clarity. He knew where it was going and he knew when it was going to hit him.

After that, dodging was easy.

He bent his back and let the green goo fly past him. He was glad that the Canzer decided to spray it out in such a perfect flow that it came out like a straight line.

Atlan felt his heart beating. Unbeknownst to him, there was a slight smile on his face.

When he moved his body like that, he felt very free. It felt like he had full control over his body and he could move it any way he wished as long as he could think of it.

Why couldn't they dodge such an easy attack?

Atlan wondered why his team wasn't able to duck away from the slow attack. They had to rely on the Tank's shielding LifeSkill to defend themselves from the acid.

DUG DUG DUG

But this was no time to ponder. Atlan looked back and saw the two Canzers from the ground and from up the ceiling lunging at him with their sharp claws.

He looked around and saw the recess on the wall, where the torch glowed a bright blue flame.

He quickly ran towards it and used the alcove to jump sideways, perfectly dodging the two claws coming for his throat.

The two Canzers tumbled and splashed on the free-flowing fibers on the bottom step, unable to keep their balance after their attack failed.

Atlan rolled to the side and landed perfectly. He was a natural at this.

But the Canzers didn't let him have a second of reprieve. The lone Canzer charged towards him the moment he landed on the brick flooring.

The Canzer pounced toward him, but it didn't use its sharp front claws to attack. Instead, it gurgled its throat again, preparing to spit out acid at Atlan in point-blank range!

Atlan didn't want to smell the scent of his own burning flesh, so he quickly scooped up the liquid-like fibers flowing from down below and threw them toward the Canzer's head.

The Canzer spat out a mist of green goo towards Atlan, but it was stopped by a swathe of fibrils.

TSHHH

These fibers had the same consistency as water, and Atlan's quick thinking allowed him to create a blanket of water to shield him away from the misty spray of green goo.

Atlan crawled back away from the Canzer to give himself space.

This barrage of attacks from the Canzers led Atlan to realize that it wasn't ideal to fight three Canzers at the same time.

Even though he could dodge their attacks, it would only be a matter of time till they were able to take advantage of their numbers.

Atlan decided to use his C class Mucus Spray to disable the Canzer's movements.

He looked at his opponents and saw that all three of them were getting ready for a full frontal attack.

He reached down his Soul System and created a giant hand that grasped the brown planet LifeSkill. Because he practiced it so much, he was able to manifest it quite quickly.

His hands glowed a brown light as the magic filled his veins. He felt his palms getting hotter as the Mucus Spray manifested in reality.

Now, he just waited for the perfect time. He wanted to catch all three at the same time and immobilize them all.

Unfortunately, that was easier said than done. Two of the Canzers lunged at him from both sides of the wall, using it as their springboard to strike at Atlan and mince his body into pieces.

Atlan quickly rolled forward and let himself fall to the shallow water-like fibers down below. This saved him from their dangerous claws, but the third Canzer already shot out its acid towards where he landed.

He copied his tactics from before and stomped his feet on the ground, creating a wall of water as a barrier to protect from the acid.

After that, he looked back and saw the two Canzers in a line towards him. It was the perfect chance he was waiting for!

A spray of black web-like strings shot out from his hands and spread out in a cone until it encompassed both Canzers into a bind.

The two Deiztruphia Canzers fell on the floor struggling and flailing their bodies as they tried to get rid of the black web-like strings that stuck to their bodies. His plan worked!

However, it wasn't a permanent solution. He saw that slowly, the Canzers were able to tear through the webs with their brute strength.

I need to use this opportunity to deal with the one remaining first.

Atlan faced the lone Canzer and saw that it was preparing another straight line of acidic goo towards him. It didn't learn its lesson that Atlan was too fast for the attack to hit him.

As the shot of neon green acid came towards his face, Atlan ducked down and immediately lunged towards the Canzer at his top speed. The Canzer was left stupefied when it saw Atlan suddenly appear in front of it.

Atlan had a two-step plan. First, he was finally going to activate his SSS class Physique LifeSkill to push the Canzer on the wall and disorient it.

Then, at long last, he would activate his SSS class Cherubic Retribution to finally kill it.

After all, he learned that Canzers, at least the Deiztruphia Canzer, had a weakness against Angel power. He had a feeling that his LifeSkill would be able to kill it.

As he reached an arm's length away from the Canzer, Atlan activated his Physique LifeSkill. He easily manifested a giant hand that covered the black, skull-filled LifeSkill planet.

Black shadows emerged from his whole body and enveloped him with flames of total and utter darkness. He looked like a being who emerged from the emptiness of space.

But despite it, Atlan didn't feel much different.

He closed his fist and punched the Canzer's torso protected by its hard chitinous shell.

He was going to punch it and cause the Canzer to slam on the wall and disorient it.

However…

CRACK

Atlan's eyes went wide when he saw the Canzer's shell crumble into a million pieces as his hand pierced through it, turning its inside into mush.
