Chapter 144: Multiple powers

Atlan took out his slingshot.He plucked a single red cherry from the tree right next to him and put it in his slingshot.

The other two lackeys didn't understand why their leader ran away, but it made them much more suspicious of the porter floating right above them. Maybe, he was much more dangerous than they thought. Why else would their senior leader run away?

But then, they saw Atlan pluck out a cherry from a tree and use it as ammunition for his slingshot. It almost made them laugh.

Does the porter really think that the puny little cherry would do damage to our armor?

Their eyes suddenly widened when they felt the air change. The pressure made them sweat and instinctively worry for their lives. They looked up at Atlan's slingshot and saw a bluish-green fire covering the hot red cherry.

"That's….no….that can't be…"

"How…"

Atlan was emanating a pressure that only those in the 3rd stage Student realm could exert!

They were 5th stage Students. They were more sensitive to LifeSkill powers and knew how to estimate them just from the pressure alone. They couldn't mistake a 3rd stage Student for a 2nd stage Student.

But now, they wished they made a mistake. They wished that what they were feeling wasn't a power from the 3rd stage Student realm. They wished they were wrong.

No matter how much they tried to deny it, the evidence was right in front of their eyes.

They couldn't understand how that was possible. Everyone knew that Atlan was a star, but a porter nonetheless. He was only supposed to have a Physique LifeSkill that gave him the physical strength to carry thousands of kilograms without any problem.

They saw him use it. Although surprising, the black flames that spread to his body were the manifestation of his Physique LifeSkill. And from their estimation, his Physique LifeSkill was only in the 2nd stage. That was public knowledge.

And even though he could break the bones of a man in the 4th stage, it was still believable.

But as they looked at the bluish-green flame in his slingshot, they realized that they'd been fooled. That dangerous pressure it emitted was not something that could be faked. It was another LifeSkill!

How is that possible, they thought. It was simply inconceivable to think that someone had two different LifeSkills, much more one of them being in the 3rd stage Student already!

It took them at least 8 years to go from 1st stage to 5th stage.

And from their investigations, they knew that the Star Porter was only drafted not even a month ago! Him having a LifeSkill in the 4th stage was impossible! He shouldn't have that much experience in the first place! He'd only gone on one mission!

Atlan released the slingshot in his hands, and it created a single bluish-green line of fire that led straight toward the back of the fleeing lackey.

The moment it hit, BOOM, an explosion of bluish-green fire erupted and sent a shockwave that blasted the other two lackeys off their feet.

Once the smoke cleared, they saw a crater filled with nothing but burned plants, vines, and moss.

The leader of the lackeys laid face down with his battle suit burned and tattered into pieces. His protective armor was shattered into pieces, but it did its job. He may have lost half his SoulTime, but he wasn't killed. He's just unconscious.

The other two covered their mouths in horror.

Atlan's attack was not unfamiliar to them. It was reminiscent of a sniper's attack, though this one was a lot more tame and less destructive.

"That's not possible…how do you have that…"

"How…you're a monster!"

The two of them recognized that bluish-green flame. How could they not? Practically everyone in the entire City, if not the entire world, knew about that iconic bluish-green hellfire that could incinerate anything it touched.

That was Quinto Kindle's LifeSkill. It was what the First Savior used to kill millions upon millions of Canzers in his lifetime.

Even though they didn't understand it, there was one thing they were sure about. Atlan was a monster. Not only could he have two LifeSkills, but one of them was already at the 3rd stage in less than two weeks!

"RUN!"

The two of them immediately made a run for it. Just from his Sniper LifeSkill alone, they knew that they had no chance of beating him. And that was when he used a single cherry as his ammo! What more if he used something with a little more punch?

But then they heard something incredulous. Read exclusive chapters at M-V-L

"Spiked Chitin Spray," uttered Atlan as a black web suddenly burst out of his palms.

One of the lackeys was too slow. He got caught by the cone of black webs, trapping him on the mossy cobblestone below.

"Argh!" he screamed. The black webs were as thick as branches and were heavy enough to pin him down.

Not only that, there were sharp thorns all around the webbing that slowly lacerated his skin. He couldn't even gather enough power to rip the sticky web away from his skin.

The harder he struggled, the more the barbed spikes poked his skin.

The best thing for him to do was to stay still and slowly rip the black web away from his skin, but his panicked fear of Atlan's shadowy figure above him made him more erratic. He entangled himself further in the web.

With two down, there was only one of them left.

The man's body lit up in a red glow as he activated his 5th stage LifeSkill: Water Crescent.

He waved his scimitar behind him, creating crescent-shaped water toward Atlan.

As expected of a 5th-stage student, these Water Crescents sliced through steel fences quite easily.

His attack curved in the air and rotated up, intending to hit Atlan from below. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But no matter how powerful those Water Crescents were, they were useless if they didn't hit their target.

Atlan flapped his wings even harder and immediately caught up with the last lackey.

He grabbed onto the man's shoulders, pinning him in place.

But then, Atlan's Angel Wings suddenly glimmered like the stars in the night sky.

A new power suddenly emanated from the wings. The shining particles suddenly shot out from his Angel Wings and pierced through 5 meters in front of them.

Atlan's eyes widened as he saw the particles tear through the very reality itself, creating an oval-shaped hole in the air.
