Chapter 421: Unusual Remedium
"WHAT?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!"
"We're in the Remedium?! But how?!"
"There must be some kind of mistake!"
"Remedium?! As in the place where Canzers roam and try to kill humans?!"
The crowd immediately began to stir, a horrified panic setting on their faces. These normal people had never even seen a Canzer in their lives before, but now, they were forced to enter their territory.
"Sir Kobra! Please tell us this isn't the Remedium."
But Kobra, considered the strongest Specialist Savior in the whole of Genesis City, didn't have a pretty expression on his face. There was worry, and a mix of anger on his face, as if he couldn't believe that the Canzers dared to do this right in front of his eyes.
"I have no good news to tell," he said with a grave voice. "Somehow, we are in the Remedium. There's nothing we can do about it but defeat the one who put us here in the first place."
"AUGHH!" screamed the normal people.
Just the thought that they were in the Remedium made their backs sweat profusely. They couldn't have prepared for this, after all, this wasn't the usual way someone would be transported to a Remedium.
It didn't make sense. This wasn't even supposed to be possible.
Previously, the only way a Savior could enter the Remedium was through an elaborate portal constructed by the very best Specialist Operators like Carmine. They would bend the laws of physics just to try and peer through the different dimensions and send humans to the Remedium.
That was the only way they could defeat the Canzer, wreaking havoc and causing a Symptom in the City.
But now, things have gone awry. Somehow, the Canzers were able to forcefully transfer humans out of the real world and into the Remedium.
Carmine's mind immediately began to wonder. He tried to explain this phenomenon through his current understanding of Canzers and Remediums, but he could not find the answer he was looking for. This wasn't supposed to be possible!
He looked at the Elder Heads. If anyone knew what to do, then they were the ones with the answer. After all, they were the ones with the most knowledge out of everyone in here, and in the City itself.
However, it was clear from their distressed expressions that they did not expect this as well. The Elder Heads immediately instructed Kobra to protect them at all times, and make sure that no Canzer would be able to reach their hands onto them.
Kobra did as he was told and accompanied the Elder Heads.
"Protect me too!"
"Me too! I don't want to be here!"
"Help me!"
All the normal people started to crowd around Kobra, thinking that he was the best protection they had in this Remedium. Even if they had their own bodyguards at the Intern-level, they still didn't trust them enough to protect them in such a precarious place. Only the best of the best could protect them.
"Settle down, everyone. I can protect you, but only if you behave and don't cause any problems. Just stay in your seats, and I will make sure that you will not be affected by any Canzers that dare to invade us," Kobra announced to the group.
Hearing his commanding voice led them to be at ease. As expected of the strongest Savior, he was able to give everyone a sense of peace and security with just his voice alone. They felt as if he could truly protect them from the Canzer that was about to come.
Kobra then walked over to Carmine and consulted him for his opinion.
"What do you think, Carmine? What are we dealing with here?"
Carmine, the Specialist Operator who had tremendous amounts of knowledge about Canzers, couldn't speak for a little bit. He was still a little bit frazzled about arriving in the Remedium.
Carmine was an Operator. He wasn't trained to be inside the Remedium at all. They were only supposed to remain in the real world and support the team whenever through their immense knowledge about Canzers.
While Vanguards were training their bodies and their LifeSkills to survive against the perilous Remedium, Operators just stayed in the library to study Canzer behavior.
Now, he was forced to be inside a Remedium, a place he knew very well, but knew nothing about.
"Carmine?" Kobra asked worriedly.
"I'm fine," Carmine said, shaking his head. "I just needed a little bit of time…"
"I hope you won't take long because we're in a bit of a situation here."
Carmine slapped his own cheeks, waking him from his stupor.
"I'm okay," he said. Then, he looked around him and tried to find clues as to how or why they were forced inside the Remedium. "From what I could see, it seems that we are dealing with three or more Canzers in the vicinity."
Kobra frowned. "That bad, huh? But still, you'll be able to tell me the weakness of each Canzer, yeah?"
Carmine nodded, albeit a little bit unsure of himself. "Yes, but I can't guarantee it. After all, this is an unprecedented event. I don't know if the Canzer we'll face today will be the same Canzer we've known all this time."
Kobra looked around him and gauged the help he could get.
From what he could see, there were about thirty able-bodied Saviors in the room. Most of them were in the Intern-realm, which was good to know because they needed a lot of help in this mission.
"All Saviors, please come to me and we'll work together to protect the civilians!" Kobra said, taking control of the situation.
The Saviors all convened in his place, taking his direction and implementing his words.
Meanwhile, Atlan stood alone, looking up at the Remedium around him.
Just then, two dragon plushie figures popped into existence right beside him. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
"Woah… we're back…" Tulip muttered to herself.
"This is wildly unusual," commented the Queen. "Atlan, I think there's something wrong going on in the Canzer world."
