Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals-Chapter 446: Hidden anomaly

But no matter how much Otis wanted to push his body forward, it didn’t move a single inch. It was as if his instinct was telling him that he shouldn’t go anywhere near Atlan.

Otis was not a novice in fighting against Canzers. He was a bona fide Intern-level Savior, which meant that he fought against very strong Canzers during his whole tenure as a Savior for the HeadQuarters.

And during his time fighting in missions, there was rarely any time when he would feel this kind of fear. He always knew that he was going to make it out eventually.

One of the times that he felt fear was when he experienced an anomaly in the mission. The Intern-level Canzer that they were supposed to fight was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was a Specialist-level Canzer waiting for them inside the Remedium.

Even though they couldn’t see the monster, they could feel it. The tyrannic and oppressing aura that it emitted even from far away was enough to turn their legs into jelly. They almost collapsed from fear of facing this ancient creature of darkness.

That was the only time when Otis truly felt fear.

But somehow, he was feeling the same thing now when he looked at Atlan’s eyes.

There was a strange and subtle feeling of oppression and tyranny emanating out of Atlan as if there was a monster hidden inside him, and that monster’s power was leaking out from the seams of his human body.

Otis could only shake his head, knowing that he was simply imagining things. After all, how could a Student-level Savior make him feel afraid? It was absurd to think about.

But of course, he didn’t want to move to kill Atlan just yet.

"Hey, you! Give me his hand!" Otis screamed to one of the Intern-level Saviors he employed.

"Me?" the guy asked. "But you said we only had to corner him! You didn’t say that we had to fight him!"

Otis clicked his tongue. "Do it, or else I won’t give you your Soul Time!"

With this threat, the guy knew that he had no choice but to follow Otis’ words. After all, he had already committed a crime by doing this in the first place. If he ended up not getting paid for his troubles, then it would truly be a waste.

So, he picked up his sword from the ground and slowly approached Atlan.

It was clear from his face that he didn’t want to do this. Although he could kill Canzers without batting an eye, hurting another human being was another thing.

By doing so, he could forever be named as a murderer.

As he got close to Atlan, he closed his eyes and raised his sword in the air.

He just had to swing his sword and his job would be done. After all, Atlan was trapped with the hundreds of swords stuck in the ground around him. He couldn’t miss even if he wanted to.

However, just as he was about to do so, he suddenly heard Atlan speak to him.

"Save yourself," Atlan said to the man.

"Huh?"

"Run away now or else you’ll get caught up in the fight," Atlan reiterated.

The man was confused. After all, Atlan made it seem like he was threatening a fight, even though he couldn’t move at all. He was basically a dummy target right now. He was in no position to threaten anybody.

"Hah!" Otis jeered. "Don’t think you can try and threaten us. We aren’t stupid!"

Then, he turned to the man with his sword in the air. "What are you waiting for? Give me his hand!"

The man looked at Otis, and then back to Atlan.

"I’m not talking about myself. I am saying that you brought something here that you didn’t know you brought," Atlan said.

"Huh?"

"What are you talking about?!" Otis screamed.

Meanwhile, Atlan looked around the Remedium and felt the strange vibrations in the air. It felt like something was hiding in the shadows, someone who didn’t want to show himself yet and only waited for the right moment.

"You sense it, right?" the black dragon plushie asked Atlan. "That’s a Specialist-level Canzer. And it’s waiting until everyone is tired to fight. Only then would it swoop down and try to go for the kill."

"Ughh… I feel it too. Atlan, you can kill it, right?" asked the white-green dragon.

Atlan nodded, then turned to Otis. "When you lured the two Intern-level Canzers here to distract Lizzie and Ninth, you have inadvertently caught the attention of a Specialist-level Canzer."

Upon mentioning a Specialist-level Canzer, everyone was suddenly jolted awake.

A Specialist-level Canzer was not something that they could fight against.

Even Otis was unnerved for a brief second. However, his haughty demeanor returned just a second later. "Don’t lie your way out of this. There’s no such Specialist-level Canzer here. According to Carmine and his team, all the Specialist-level Canzers are accounted for and are being fought by Kobra and the other teams. There’s not supposed to be another Specialist-level Canzer anywhere near here."

Once Otis explained this, the rest of his team breathed a sigh of relief.

He was right. According to the report given to them by the Operator Saviors, there was no such Specialist-level Canzer that could threaten them in this place. If there was, then Carmine and the others would have seen signs of its existence and warned them beforehand.

But of course, Atlan knew what he was feeling. There was no mistaking it.

"This is an anomaly," he said. "A Specialist-level Canzer is lurking in the shadows. The moment you try to fight me, it will pounce on all of you while you’re busy."

The Intern-level Saviors on Otis’ side were suddenly anxious about their surroundings. After all, his words rang true. There could be an anomaly here. After all, having anomalies in this current era is not that uncommon nowadays.

"Don’t listen to him!" Otis screamed. "Go and cut his body up or else I will not give your families the Soul Time you so desperately want!"
