Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 171 Scattered ashes



The lone Sapient Infection Canzer felt a shiver run down its spine as it watched the human point directly at its 'root'.

It was the source of all their power and an equivalent to the heart of a human.

The Sapient Canzers never thought that Atlan would be able to pinpoint their very weakness so casually. His finger felt like it was the touch of Death itself.

"$)(*@)($"

The hundreds of thousands of clones all charged at Atlan in a panic. Even though they didn't know what he was going to do, the mere fact that he knew where their weakness was located was enough to send them into a frenzy.

"Begone," he uttered.

Above the large group of clones protecting their root, a white cloud manifested in reality.

This cloud had a golden glow on its edges and frightened the clones below. It emanated an Angel aura that was a thousand times more intense than the human's Angel Wings.

If Atlan's Angel Wings was a solid cube made out of Angel power, then this cloud was like a knife pointed directly down at the source of the Sapient Canzers' very being. It threatened to destroy their very existence!

Half of the hundred thousand clones converged on Atlan to try and stop his 'Finger of Death', while the other half tried to disperse the cloud from completing its condensation.

However, they were far too late.

They would have stood a much better chance of stopping Atlan if they tried to attack him before he was able to lock onto the object underground.

The moment that cloud manifested in reality was the moment the death of the Sapient Infection Canzers was certain.

The cloud's blonde-yellow light intensified, followed by a thunderous rumbling that reverberated along the violet grass fields.

The clones reached up with their spiked chitinous fists to try and tear through the cloud, but they were far too slow.

Thick golden lightning struck down into the ground with a furious intensity, sending an earthquake that shook the entire Remedium.

The clones unlucky enough to be in the golden lightning's way were immediately burned and disintegrated into mere ashes, with their cloning ability nullified forever.

Hundreds of Sapient Canzers jumped and created a small mound that tried to protect the underground object, but they were inconsequential in the face of a SSS class 4th stage Student Cherubic Retribution LifeSkill!

It passed through them and targeted the buried object tens of meters underground with perfect accuracy.

The golden lightning's spear-like end pierced through the root of the Sapient Infection Canzers.

The object turned out to be a fetus. It was what Sapient Infection Canzers would have looked like if they were a newborn, with their chitinous armor barely formed around their bodies.

As soon as it was hit with the golden lightning, it stopped squirming in the soil and froze in place.

It slowly turned pasty white, with its ashes slowly disintegrating into mere particles that turned into nothingness.

The clones above wailed in pain as they slowly disintegrated into mere ashes scattered in the wind. This was their permanent death. They could no longer clone themselves when their original body was dead.

The lone Sapient Canzer watched its own hands slowly disintegrate into ashes.

It looked at Atlan with disbelief in its eyes. It didn't think that he would be the one to cause their permanent death.

In its stubbornness and anger, it tried to claw at Atlan's face, but its legs gave way as the weakness soon spread to the rest of its body.

Atlan was hit with nothing but ashes.

He looked around the violet grass fields and saw peace. The ashes of the fallen Sapient Infection Canzers scattered in the wind.

With nothing else to do, Atlan turned back and fell into the hole behind him.

Tarish slammed her fist on the ground. She couldn't believe that she was careless enough to let those Sapient Canzers get their hands on their Star Porter.

She was responsible for his life. She didn't think she'd be able to live with herself if she found out that Atlan lost all his SoulTime because of her mistake. He'd be held back for years as he regenerated from a single blood cell. She would effectively ruin his career.

"Damn!...I should have been the one!"

"If it weren't for him we wouldn't have even killed the Ifrit!"

"I can't believe we're still stuck here! We have to ask for help so that they can rescue Atlan!"

After they recovered enough strength, Tarish and her team scoured the destroyed skyscrapers and overturned buildings of Masamune district, but they couldn't find the portal anywhere.

They felt useless. The longer they were stuck unable to call for reinforcements from the HeadQuarters, the longer Atlan would be subjected to the Canzer's tortuous hobbies.

"Let's check again! We have to find that portal!"

But just as they were about to disperse, they suddenly heard an explosion in the distance.

BOOM

Their eyes went wide when they saw a black battle-suited youth flying in the air after being shot out from the hole they came from.

Atlan braced himself as he crashed onto the streets, sending rubble and concrete everywhere.

Tarish and the rest of her team slowly approached Atlan.

They expected to see him return with multiple broken bones and a bloodied mess, but they were pleasantly surprised to see Atlan stand with virtually no injuries on his body. There wasn't even a scratch on his black battle suit.

"Atlan…you're—you're fine?!"

"Thank the Gods!"

"What happened to you?"

Even though Atlan spent much more time with the Sapient Canzers, he was in much better shape than the 6th-stage Saviors.

But before Atlan could say anything, everyone was suddenly blinded by a bright light up in the air.

Out from the meaty domed ceiling of the Remedium, a large ray of white light suddenly beamed down directly on Atlan and the rest of the 6th-stage Saviors.

"But…how's that possible…"

Tarish couldn't believe that they were being rewarded by the Genesis God for completing their mission!
