Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 49: Ludicrous



When they arrived at the scene, they were surprised to see that there were a lot of soldiers crowded around the portal.

Once they dismounted from their horses and went forward did they finally see the gruesome sight of a pool of blood. The soldiers were stuffing white gauze around Neumann's stomach, but the blood still kept gushing out.

The leader then saw the Stun Wizard sitting in the corner with a blanket over her shoulders. She was the only one still conscious.

"What happened?" the leader asked her. "How did you all fail a simple beginner mission?"

The 3rd stage Student reinforcements were told nothing about what happened during this mission. They only assumed that something went wrong due to human error. Although it wasn't normal, there were instances of novices failing their first missions. They simply thought this was also the case.

The Stun Wizard looked up at the reinforcements, and they all saw the dried tears on her cheeks and her sunken eyes. It looked like she had gone through hell.

The original soldier who witnessed everything firsthand answered for the Stun Wizard.

"They didn't tell you?"

"Tell us what?"

"According to her, their mission went just as planned. They killed the Deiztruphia Canzer in just under half an hour."

The reinforcements were surprised. Killing a Canzer in 30 minutes was an impressive feat, even by their standards.

"Then why didn't you all leave?"

This time, the Stun Wizard answered hoarsely. "We…we tried to. But then…the floor fell and we ended up in the sewers!"

"The sewers?! That's impossible!"

She didn't argue.

"We encountered two more…two more Canzers…"

They all sucked in a cold breath. It turned out they went through a disastrous situation. No one expects a group of 1st stage Saviors to defeat two Canzers at the same time!

"But that's not even the worst part…we saw a monster…a new Canzer…one that could talk."

Everyone gasped. A Sapient Canzer.

Even though the reinforcements were 3rd stage students, they didn't dare think they could defeat a monster that complex, especially without specialized equipment from the Operators that could disable its regeneration.

Their hearts pumped with anxiousness once they realized they had to go to the Remedium with the threat of a Sapient Canzer looming over their heads.

These novices had to fight a Sapient Canzer? They can't even make a scratch on its armor. And even if they can make it bleed, it'll just regenerate to full health in a few seconds…

Just the thought of it was terrifying.

"We're here to help. We'll save your teammates. There are four of them inside, right?"

"Umm…" the soldier said awkwardly.

"What is it?"

"There used to be four that came out, but the porter came back in."

"What?! That's dangerous! Why would he come back?"

The Stun Wizard replied, "Because he's a savior! He saved me and he'll save the rest."

When they heard this, they couldn't believe it. The person with the least experience in fighting, the person with no abilities to fight against Canzer, was the one who braved the Remedium to save the others.

This wasn't a porter's responsibility. Yet, he still took it upon himself to do so.

"Even when I told him that…the monster…was targeting him, he still went ahead."

Now, they couldn't attribute his actions to ignorance. He didn't do this because he didn't know the dangers, he braved it despite the dangers.

The reinforcements couldn't admit to themselves that they would still enter the Remedium if they knew that a dangerous Sapient Canzer was targeting them. They especially wouldn't be coming back multiple times to save other people.

And Atlan did it despite being only a Porter!

"There's no way, right?"

"Are you sure you are all seeing it right?"

"Why would a porter do that?"

The whole situation was so ludicrous that they couldn't believe it. They thought that she was suffering from delusion caused by trauma. She must have imagined a fictional heroic porter so that she'd be able to feel good about their horrible situation.

"It's true!" the stun wizard insisted.

However, it was hard to believe. Without anyone to corroborate her story, they were disinclined to take her words as fact.

"Don't worry, miss. We will do our best to save your teammates."

Just then, the portal rippled once again. Everyone watched as Atlan came out of the Remedium carrying two more people, the Tank and the Pugilist on his shoulders.

Not only that, he carried a gigantic bag on his back!

Atlan casually put the two unconscious guys down near the other soldiers so that they'd be given the help they needed. Then, he put down his equipment bag and the whole ground shook from the sheer weight of the baggage.

The 3rd stage student reinforcements all looked at Atlan with their jaws dropped.

They couldn't believe that this youthful porter was the heroic Savior that the stun wizard claimed him to be! Not only that, he did it while carrying a thousand kilograms behind his back!

Atlan took one big breath. "First mission complete!"

Then, he raised his hand and shouted a war cry. "WOOOO!"

Now that he was safe, all the adrenaline in his body finally ran out. Atlan passed out on the floor, completely exhausted.

"Help him!"

The soldiers and the reinforcements quickly went over Atlan and made sure that he was safe.

They treated him with respect and admiration. After all, he was the heroic porter who went above and beyond what he was asked to do, all because he wanted to save his teammates.

He garnered everyone's respect.

If they knew that Atlan killed three Deiztruphia Canzers all at once, then they'd feel their hearts stop for a moment.

And if they knew that he killed the Sapient Canzer, then they'd simply drop on the floor from shock and disbelief.
