Chapter 38: (Bonus) How strong?
Chapter 38: (Bonus) How strong?
Atlan felt the warm violet blood flow down from his arms. He was stunned in silence.
He retracted his hands as the Deiztruphia Canzer fell lifelessly on the ground. It had a large hole in its chest, with broken pieces of its shell everywhere.
He looked at his hands and saw the black flames surrounding the outline of his arms.
This is my Physique LifeSkill?
When he first activated his LifeSkill, he found himself no different than he was before. He didn't feel powerful and he didn't feel protected; he just felt as if there was a slight change in his skin that was barely noticeable.
But since it was a Physique LifeSkill, he knew that it would somehow empower his physical strength to the point of being able to lift thousands of kilograms of weight while running without any problem.
Since he could already do that without the help of his LifeSkill, he was already much stronger than normal Porters.
His original plan was to use this Physique LifeSkill to disorient the Canzer. This would allow him to use its weakness against Angel powers by activating his Cherubic Retribution.
However, he didn't think that he'd be able to kill the Canzer with it in just one strike.
[You have killed a Canzer: Deiztruphia]
[You have reaped the death of a complex creature]
[Due to your Trait, you have multiplied your experience by 10]
[You have gained 5000 experience]
He looked down at the corpse of the Canzer and saw its violet blood pooling beneath his feet.
A full team of 5 Saviors at the 1st stage student realm took them half an hour to kill a Canzer like this. And they must have spent years training to perfect their teamwork to take down this Canzer in their fastest time.
He saw them struggle and suffer injuries trying to kill an ambushed Canzer.
Yet Atlan killed the same Canzer with just one move. Not to mention the fact that he was fighting 3 Canzers at the same time before he performed the killing move.
So this is the power of a SSS class LifeSkill.
What's surprising about this fact was that his Physique LifeSkill stayed at the 1st stage Student realm.
This meant that Atlan could solo a mission meant for a team of 1st stage Saviors with just a 1st Stage LifeSkill.
That was absurd.
Does this mean that my other SSS class LifeSkills are just as overpowered?
It was a possibility that its SSS class was a huge factor in this impossible feat of strength, but it could also be because of its mysterious specialty and job.

GYAAOOO!
One of the Canzers trapped in his Mucus Spray finally shook itself loose. It charged towards Atlan and leaped up, trying to use its two claws to slice Atlan's body into two.
If this was back then, Atlan would have immediately dodged away from the attack.
But he realized he didn't need to.
These Canzers didn't seem to be too intelligent. If it was, then it would have noticed that one of its comrades already had a fatal gashing wound on its chest. It would have noticed the terrifying aura around Atlan and immediately ran away.
His whole body was engulfed in a tame black flame that contrasted with the white walls of the Remedium.
The Canzer didn't care as it tried to pierce through Atlan's body with its claws.
He raised his hand and met the Canzer's bladed paws. And for a brief second, his entire body was engulfed in a billowing, raging black flame.
The two collided. And Atlan felt no resistance at all as he destroyed the Canzer's front limb with sheer brute force. The claws couldn't compete and were cracked into pieces, unable to penetrate through Atlan's tough physique.
But Atlan didn't stop there. He continued to follow through with his punch until he reached the Canzer's head. And in one fell swoop, he thwacked it back into its shell forcibly, destroying its neck and skull.
The Canzer toppled over the ground, with one of its arms broken and mangled while its head was smashed back into its shell. It lay there, dead.

Just like that, he killed another Canzer in one move. He couldn't believe the kind of strength that his Physique could give him.
He was glad that he didn't show his real skills in the real world because this feat of strength would definitely catch their attention. This was no mere B class Physique LifeSkill, it was SSS class!
He didn't want anybody to know about his true strength.
Thankfully, everybody already thought that he had already used his Physique LifeSkill. They didn't know that it was just his natural strength.
Just then, Atlan heard a gurgling sound from the only remaining Canzer. It couldn't free itself from the Mucus Spray no matter how much it tried, so it decided to use its green acid goo to kill Atlan.
A single line of green bile came towards Atlan. This time, he didn't dodge. He let it hit his chest.
And as soon as it did, the acid simply disintegrated into a mist. The black flames around his body created a protective layer that prevented any of the green goo from dissolving his battle suit.
The Canzer was surprised that its greatest strength was ineffective against a human. Just then, it saw Atlan walk forward.
It tried to scurry away from him, but the adhesive from Atlan's Mucus Spray prevented it from getting far.
As a last resort, the Canzer spat out a fountain mist of green acid towards him. But it didn't work.
Atlan squatted beside the Deiztruphia Canzer and muttered;
"Let me free you from your suffering."
Atlan raised his hand and brought it down the terrified Canzer's head, squashing it into nothing but a mushy mix of violet blood, skull fragments, and flesh.

Atlan was satisfied with knowing the strength of his Physique LifeSkill but he couldn't help but wonder how strong his angel powers were.
How strong was his 3rd stage SSS class Cherubic Retribution LifeSkill?
