Chapter 99: Sniper

Atlan raised his slingshot and aimed it down. He stretched the bands to his shoulders and beyond, using all the strength he had with his Physique LifeSkill. The rubber bands trembled. It glowed a slight green tint as it transformed Atlan's power into potential energy, storing all of his strength in the bands.

Now that he used the maximum strength he had to prime the slingshot, Atlan let go of his Physique LifeSkill. Your next chapter awaits on m v|l--NovelFire.net

Atlan finally grasped the Apocalyptic Hellfire LifeSkill in his giant hand.

The super-condensed steel ball suddenly erupted in a bluish-green fire. He could feel the power in his hands transfer to the steel ball in his slingshot, imbuing it with more magic.

Atlan took a deep breath, exhaled, and finally released the slingshot.

THWATTT

A single thin line of bluish-green fire instantaneously appeared from Atlan's slingshot and diagonally down to the floor.

The Canzers didn't even notice anything different.

The pellet disappeared into the ground, leaving nothing but a pellet-sized scorching hole in the tiles.

That's it?

Atlan thought that there would be more to a SSS class LifeSkill. He didn't know if the condensed metal pellet got destroyed or not because he couldn't see where it landed.

He had to use his Thermal Vision LifeSkill to follow the heat dissipated by the shot.

As he did, a clean bright yellow line that led down to the ground caught his attention. And once he followed where it went, his eyes went wide.

Deep underground, there was a billowing yellow bulge erupting from the bottom to the top with an insane thermal energy!

It wasn't long before it reached the surface and burst out in an explosive manner, killing about a hundred Pseudo Canzers from the discharge alone. The eruption further sent out tiles and concrete rubble outwards accompanied by a furious bluish-green fire that brought out an intense heat around it.

The Canzers that got lucky and avoided the explosion were soon overwhelmed by a fire that made their violet blood boil from the inside. It wasn't long before their skin and chitinous armor burned and liquified, leaving nothing but a charred corpse below.

Not only that, small embers fell like ash from the air. Those that underestimated this wisp of bluish-green flame ended up having their whole bodies engulfed in a fire that consumed all of their flesh and blood.

Strangely enough, the heat wave caused by the pillar of bluish-green fire killed more Canzers than the original explosion.

If Atlan didn't have his Physique LifeSkill, even he would feel the scorching hot air.

He watched as more and more Canzers fell victim to his 'sniper' attack. With just one move, he killed almost half of the Canzers in the warehouse.

It turned out that he used too much power in his slingshot. Because he used his Physique LifeSkill to leverage more power, the pellet ended up penetrating through tens of meters underground until it finally exploded into a fire that led back to the surface. If he used less power, then the condensed metal pellet would have exploded upon impact with the ground, killing more Canzers from the get go.

'Must kill….human…'

'Kill…together!'

The surviving Canzers felt threatened by Atlan's power. If they were fighting him alone, then they wouldn't have the courage to attack him right after he showed such destructive abilities. But they knew that they still held the advantage with their numbers.

And they were smart enough to know that they couldn't let Atlan stay comfy atop his box of towers shooting down his Apocalyptic Hellfire LifeSkill. Another shot would decimate them and they'd lose the advantage. They couldn't let that happen.

They frantically climbed up the wooden boxes. The Canzers no longer trampled on each other, but helped each other up. The threat of the single human forced them to cooperate.

Those that were strong like the Panda-Horse or the Bear-Horse offered themselves to be at the bottom and become the foundation for their climb. Those that were nimbler like the Monkey-Horse and the Spider-Horse climbed atop and tried to reach for Atlan's feet.

With their coordination, it wasn't long before some of them finally had the chance to bring the human down for them to feast on.

The Octopus-Horse was the first one to finally reach the top. It used its tentacles to sliver sneakily towards Atlan's ankles. If it was able to get near him, then its suction cup would cling onto him and never let go.

But just as it was about to grab his ankles, the tower of boxes suddenly swayed back and forth. The climbing Canzers caused the whole structure to be unbalanced until it leaned to the side.

The tower of boxes slowly fell, with the Canzers falling with it.

The Canzers weren't entirely unhappy with this. If the tower of boxes fell, then so did the human!

Yet none of them saw that happen. The Canzers expected him to fall right into their maws, ready to be devoured, but as they closed their mouths in anticipation, they chomped on nothing but air.

Suddenly, the air got heavier. It was as if the wind itself was choking them, preventing them from breathing. It squeezed their ribs and pushed it into their lungs.

The Pseudo Canzers felt a chill in their horse spines. There was a horrifying creature above them that emanated danger down to their very bones.

They saw a blinding white light from up above.

And once they looked closer, they saw that it was only the human hovering in the air.

But behind him was something they never thought possible.

It was Angel Wings.

The power emanated from those feathery wings was something that threatened the very being—the very core of the Pseudo Canzers. They were in the presence of their natural predator.

The centaurs directly below Atlan froze in fear. They couldn't even breathe.

Those at the outskirts of the monster wave felt a weakened effect of the Angel Wings, so they were able to retain their senses. They slowly backed away. And once they did, they started a chain reaction that caused further panic and fear amongst the Pseudo Canzers.

The monsters ran away from Atlan with dread written all over their faces. They kicked those behind them, they bit those around them, and they bulled their way forward with no regards for camaraderie and solidarity. Chaos reigned in their minds.

'NO!...ANGELS…FEAR!'

In their panic, they ran towards the wall to try and burst through it. But they couldn't. And in their desperation, they tried to climb the walls of the warehouse, not realizing there was no way out except from where they came.

And those lucky ones that figured out the door was stuck from the webbed Spiked Chitin Spray.
