Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 79: Subdued

"Woah! What's happening in the arena?"

"Wait. There's someone still in there?"

"Yeah, the Star Porter still hasn't subdued any Canzer yet."

"Hmm? Then where is he?"

The cloud of dust obscured vision from the spectator stand. Nobody could see anything. The only thing they heard were hooves beating on the ground, rushing and charging towards something. But where that was, nobody had any idea.

In any other case, this would have been completely in the Canzer's favor. The cloud of smoke would have prevented the human from knowing where the Canzers would come from next.

However, the Giraffe-Horse couldn't forget that human's sharp eyes. It was the kind of gaze that could somehow pierce through even the deepest of armor, as if he could see through any of its vulnerabilities. The Canzer believed that the human could somehow see it even in the cloud of dust.

'No! That human is human…he no see in the dark…'

But the Giraffe-Horse wasn't the only one who was panicking. The rest of the Canzers in the arena didn't have the mental capacity to think further than what they saw. Dread began to set in. What if the human was going to kill them?

One such frightened Canzer couldn't help but charge towards the unknown. It thought that the terrifying human was behind it. So, it tried to run away from him as fast as possible.

But it didn't know that this would start a chain reaction that would further spread fear and chaos to others. Once the other Canzers heard hooves stomping in terrified undertones, they all started panicking even more. And when faced with a do-or-die situation, these horse-like Canzers chose to flee instead of fight.

The cloud of dust obscured everything even further as the Canzers started to run around everywhere. Canzers were bumping into each other and bumping into the walls.

The whole arena was in an earthquake.

The Giraffe-Horse looked around, but it couldn't see anything. It calmed itself down. There was no way that the human would be able to find it in all of this chaos.

Just then, it suddenly saw something coming towards itself at fast speeds! It quickly moved to the side. Terror set in its bones as it thought that the human was somehow able to target it amid this smoke. Experience the best from m|v|l|e|mp|y|r

But then it realized something. This was no projectile. This was a Canzer's body coming towards the Giraffe-Horse at fast speeds, cutting through the smoke until it crashed into the wall behind.

The Giraffe-Horse looked at the Horse Canzer and saw a single injury in the middle of its torso: an imprint of a human's knuckles.

'Not possible!...'

But then, the Canzer heard more and more bodies crash through the walls in a similar manner. The whole arena shook from the collisions.

'No way!...that human is a monster…must run away…must run away!'

It ran along the walls, hoping to find an exit out of this arena. It finally realized that there was no way it was going to defeat the human. His punch sent a Buffalo-Horse from one side of the arena to the other!

But then, amid the dust, it suddenly saw a silhouette of a human in front of it.

No, this was no silhouette. It was the human exactly! But now, there was a strange black fire that surrounded his whole body.

This was the first time that the Canzer fully understood the strength of this human. Death has come for it. The Giraffe-Horse immediately used its long head to hit the ground and cause more dust to obscure the human's sight. And then, it immediately turned around.

But when it looked up, it suddenly saw something impossible.

For a brief second, it saw holy wings appear on the human's back.

'Impossible!...Angel wings…'

But in the next moment, the human disappeared from the Canzer's sight. It made the monster doubt its own eyes. It even wondered if it was starting to hallucinate because of all the chaos that was happening in the arena.

This Canzer was so stunned and shocked from having a brief encounter with Angel Wings that it didn't even notice that Atlan was already straddling it on its back.

With one swift movement, Atlan attached the blinders on the Canzer with a satisfying click.

Soon enough, the rest of the other Canzers stopped their rumbling. They were either too injured to stand due to crashing against other Canzers and the walls too much, or they simply realized that the human was no longer there to threaten them.

After a few moments, the dust finally settled and everyone could finally see what happened.

"I hope the Star Porter is alright."

"Don't worry. If things get too dangerous, the Pocket Remedium has a safety mechanism that freezes all the Pseudo Canzers in place, remember?"

"Wait a minute, it's him!"

More and more people soon saw the image of Atlan guiding the Giraffe-Horse through the arena. They were all surprised to see that the Canzer had blinders on, meaning that Atlan finally subdued a Canzer!

"I can't believe it!"

"How did he even subdue a Canzer? A porter's LifeSkill is only supposed to give him the ability to carry heavy weights, right?"

"I heard from others that our Star Porter has another talent. He's a fighting genius!"

But even with that explanation, the rest of the spectators still couldn't believe it. If Atlan was able to subdue a Canzer with just his physical strength and his martial arts prowess, then he was even more impressive than people were giving him credit for.

Atlan finally exited the arena and went over to the last chariot left. Unlike the others that were made out of strong metals, this last chariot was only made out of wood. It was as brittle as a rundown carriage.

"Impressive as it may be, he probably can't catch up to the others with that shoddy chariot."

"It's unfortunate, but yeah, his mount doesn't seem to be as fast either."

"But let's clap for his efforts. It's mad impressive that he's even able to do this as a porter—WAIT WHAT THE F—"
