Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

"Everyone please, settle down. There's no need to antagonize each other. In fact, we need to work together. And I think that Atlan's suggestion is the only one we can make right now," Carmine said, placating both sides.

"That is right. Our Star Porter is right. We should try to lure the Canzer here to our location," said Kobra.

Once the two Specialist Saviors said those words, the normal folk finally settled down and accepted Atlan's suggestion.

Carmine and some of the Operator Saviors in the room gathered together to brainstorm some ideas. First, they tried to figure out what kind of Canzer they were dealing with, and what they could do to lure them out.

It was also imperative for them to find out if they could even kill this Canzer through normal means because if they couldn't, then luring the Canzer here could mean their deaths.

Meanwhile, Kobra and the rest of the Vanguard Saviors convened with Carmine for their suggestions.

But an hour after brainstorming, they hadn't gone anywhere at all. The main problem they had with this was that they didn't know what kind of Canzer they were facing.

After all, the only way they could figure that out was through observing the Symptoms manifested by the Canzer on the outside world. This means that unless they were outside, observing what was happening in the area, then they wouldn't be able to figure it out.

They could try to guess all they want, but each guess would ultimately lead to a weakness in their plans that the real Canzer could exploit.

This was the problem with an anomaly. There would still be a chance that with Carmine's expertise and the help of the rest of the Operator Saviors, they could try to figure out the truth of the matter one way or another. It would probably take them more hours, but at least they could have been able to solve the problem.

But this was an anomaly. They had never seen this before, which meant that in all likelihood, they had never seen the Canzer behind it as well. This makes all the preparation they try to do obsolete. After all, this Canzer could work under totally different rules than their current assumption.

Atlan just waited patiently as he watched the team argue back and forth about what to do.

"You know, you could try to lure the Canzer by yourself," whispered the Enchanted Queen dragon by his side.

"Ah."

It seemed that Atlan had forgotten his own powers. After all, he only obtained this power about a few days ago. He thought he was still a normal Student-level Savior. But no. His true strength could only be compared to that of Specialist-level Saviors and beyond. He was a demi-god, after all.

"You're right. Thanks for reminding me," Atlan said as he closed his eyes.

He searched through his body, finding all the death particles that were hiding in the crevices of his bones and ligaments. And once he found them, he gave them a simple nod of approval.

And once the death particles saw that, they started to multiply into greater and greater numbers, up until his whole body was filled with death particles.

Atlan started to release all the pent-up death energy in his body. Letting them all out into the Remedium.

They seemed to love the air in the Remedium. They began to bounce and jump all over the place, wreaking havoc wherever they could.

Meanwhile, the humans below were none the wiser. They didn't see that their Soul Time was slowly ticking down two seconds for every second that passed once they were in the presence of death energy.

As the death energy continued to cause chaos in the Remedium, a certain creature in the darkness lifted its head and looked in their direction.

Its eyes widened, unable to believe that there was so much death energy in that place. Its eyes showed greed, showing its intent to devour every single death energy in that place to further its own powers.

With great strength and speed, it raced through the Remedium and reached the humans in a matter of a few seconds.

Kobra and a few other perceptive Vanguard Saviors immediately noticed the presence of the Canzer and immediately tried to warn the others.

"It's coming!" he shouted.

The Vanguard Saviors were able to prepare themselves due to Kobra's shout. However, the Operator Saviors and the civilians reacted far too late. After all, they weren't used to such a high-stakes situation where every millisecond was as precious as gold.

BOOM!

The giant creature burst through the walls of the room, taking with it the very roof of the auditorium.

Kobra immediately used his LifeSkill: Sting Ray, to manifest a giant scorpion tail from his back. Using this manifestation, he began to shoot the debris and falling concrete away from the civilians, saving them from harm.

The other Saviors worked as well, doing everything they could to put the civilians and the Operator Savrios in a safe position.

TSSSS!

The giant creature now showed itself to the humans.

It looked like a giant snake, with its thin split tongue slithering out of its mouth. However, it had four legs behind it, making it look like a giant lizard instead.

Carmine looked up at the creature, shock filled his face.

"Ba..ba…basilisk!" he shouted.

It seemed that they were facing one of the most dangerous Specialist-level Canzers in the world. However, it was not its strength nor its speed that was the most dangerous out there, it was the poison in its body that could destroy even the sturdiest of metals with one breath.

Kobra felt pressured as well. Even though he was also famed for his poison, the Basilisk was a creature that he knew he had no chance against.

In other words, his strongest weapon, the cobra tail on his back, was useless against the poison-immune Basilisk.

This was a very dangerous situation, one where both Carmine and Kobra almost gave up after seeing the creature in front of them.

It was the worst match-up possible.
