Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 44: Begone

The Canzer's pained cries echoed through the chamber. It scurried away from Atlan, with its back dripping violet blood after its wings were brutally ripped out in one smooth move.

It couldn't escape anymore. It would take at least 10 minutes for the Canzer to regenerate new wings.

It crawled away until it had its back against one of the large open pipes intersecting in the middle of the room. It was finally cornered, with no way to escape.

If it knew that Atlan had Angel wings, the Canzer would never have tried to attack him. It would have finished off the other humans and escaped away before Atlan could find the exit.

However, how could it have known that Atlan was a freak of nature who had tremendous powers that could even destroy its armor?

"@($!&%" It shouted at Atlan, baring its fangs towards him. But no matter how hard the Canzer tried to intimidate the young man, Atlan continued to walk towards his prey with casual steps.

The Canzer glared at him, gathering its anger into energy. It reminded itself that Atlan had no way of killing it.

"{#{#{#{#{#" the Canzer laughed.

Atlan had none of the strange equipment that Saviors used to kill Canzers. Without those, he wouldn't be able to kill the Canzer; it could continue to regenerate its injuries infinitely. The puny human would eventually lose energy and show his weakness after a few more hours of fighting.

At that point, the Canzer could kill Atlan. It was a battle of attrition, and it was something that the Canzer would win.

"(@%*$&" The Canzer pointed towards the healing cracked armor in its chest. It was telling Atlan that his attacks would be useless against a Destruction Canzer's regenerative properties.

The more it thought about it, the better it felt. So what if the human had Angel wings? It didn't mean that he had the powers to kill a Canzer. He would need that strange cube they came with, and that was lost in the Remedium the moment they fell into its trap.

It got cocky. The Canzer walked over to Atlan, thinking that the human realized the futility of his efforts.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Atlan punched the Canzer in the throat, and the Canzer immediately spat out violet blood. It tumbled back, coughing and heaving for air.

But Atlan didn't let the Canzer free. The moment it landed on the floor, Atlan straddled it and started to give it a barrage of punches directly on its face.

His face was painted violet from the carnage.

The Canzer tried its hardest to put up its arms and defend itself from the rain of intense jabs on its head. This didn't seem to work out all that well as violet blood continued to spurt out of its injuries. Its snout was continuously mangled and broken.

Atlan's whole body was filled with dark flames. His SSS Grim Reaper Physique was going on overdrive as he squeezed the planet in his Soul System as hard as he could.

He wanted to kill the Canzer once and for all.

Since he was able to kill those Deiztruphia Canzer by gutting its innards and smashing its head into smithereens, then Atlan guessed that he just needed to kill the Canzer faster than it could regenerate.

However, his 1st stage Power realm showed its lack of strength. He wasn't able to deal enough destruction on the Canzer for it to die fast enough.

He could see the Canzer's cracked skin start to glow and close up before he could truly mangle its body beyond belief.

The Canzer finally regenerated enough of its energy to kick Atlan from the back and free itself from the straddle. It quickly dashed away from him and jumped up the pipes.

But before it could get away, Atlan flew up with his Angel wings and kicked it back down the floor.

The Canzer coughed up violet blood. "@(%*^"

It couldn't believe that Atlan was still as powerful as before! He wasn't tired at all. Other Saviors would be exhausted from using their LifeSkills by now. But not Atlan. The dark flames on his body never wavered from his skin.

With no other choice left, the Canzer chose to fight.

The Canzer raised its hands in the air as its whole body faintly glowed a red tint. Power came from its stomach and flowed like roots from its armor to the tips of its human-like fingers. Every last energy reserve on its body was being used for this one attack.

Its body stopped regenerating. The Canzer's body started to deteriorate quickly as it sacrificed its own body to fill up the power in its fingers.

This was its final resort.

It wanted to kill the puny human now, even if it meant injuring itself to this extent.

The Canzer taunted Atlan. This would be his last day. The Canzer could keep regenerating and keep using this final attack as many times as it could.

"(#*@&)" I am unkillable, it implied. Atlan would be stuck in this place, unable to kill the Canzer. It laughed maniacally, feeling that in the end, it would eventually kill this human.

Atlan looked at the Canzer. With a calm voice, he said;

"Are we using our trump cards? Because I've been waiting to use mine."

He looked down deep within his Soul System and released his grip on the Physique LifeSkill. He looked at the planet beside it, the one colored gold and white with wings and halos stamped all around.

Finally, with his target stationary, not even moving a single inch, Atlan could finally grip the planet with his hands.

With his mind focused on the Canzer, Atlan finally felt the power flow through his veins.

His whole body glowed a golden light.

The Canzer felt as if it was gripped by the holy light coming out of Atlan's body. It couldn't believe it. The Angels have once again descended. That was impossible! How could a human have the powers of an angel?!

Atlan had to die.

The Canzer was resolved to sacrifice its own life to destroy this walking calamity. The tips of its fingers glowed magma hot.

But before it could muster up enough energy, Atlan moved.

He raised his hand and pointed at the Canzer as if he was a God.

"Begone."

A pure white cloud materialized out of nowhere. And not a second later, golden lightning struck the Canzer accompanied by a blinding light.

After a moment, the light dimmed and showed the frozen body of the Canzer. Its whole body was ashen gray.

It soon disintegrated into dust.
