Chapter 450: Atlan’s trap
Four of Atlan's clones immediately locked in one shadow creature, never letting it out of his sight.
Before the Canzers could even morph into their shadow form and escape through the void, Atlan's clones had already used their Angel Wings and teleported right next to the shadow Canzers.
With a single hand, the clones grasped the shadow bodies of the Canzers, with a grip that could somehow grasp the incorporeal form of the creatures.
This utterly scared the Shadow Canzers. One of the reasons why they were so strong was because of their ability to just slip away from anyone's grasp before they could even catch them. But somehow, Atlan's clones could touch their bodies and prevent them from teleporting out into a safe environment. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire
But once they saw the Angel Wings on the clones, they finally figured out the reason. It was because of the holy energy in the clones that disabled the shadow powers in their bodies.
The shadow creatures tried to use their tentacles to fight back against the clones, but it seemed that their clones felt a burning and searing pain whenever they tried to touch Atlan. They couldn't even try to attack him!
They were helpless as Atlan's clones caught them one by one.
The shadow creatures prepared themselves to be killed or pummelled to death. With his clones and his tremendous strength, the Shadow Canzers did not doubt that Atlan could kill them in an instant. After all, they were much weaker than the Malificient Dragon Queen, and yet he was able to kill her without a problem.
However, the beating they expected never came. Instead, Atlan's real body slowly hovered toward their location.
"Tell me. What did you kidnap Otis? Is it related to that object?"
Upon hearing his words, the Shadow Creatures were terrified to know that Atlan, a human, could speak their language.
But perhaps they were more surprised when they found out that Atlan knew about their 'object'.
All this time, they thought that their plans had been a secret without the humans knowing about it. They thought that the humans were completely oblivious to the presence of this 'object'.
But as it turned out, the Dragon Slayer knew about it in the first place! He was the worst person to have known about it because he was the only one who could do something about it.
The shadow creatures were alarmed. They couldn't let Atlan know about the object and destroy their only way to victory against the humans.
'Kill us!'
'We tell nothing!'
'We take it to our deaths!'
The shadow creatures were fiercely loyal to their cause. They would rather die than spill out the secrets of the 'object'.
Atlan knew that he couldn't persuade these Canzers. They were much stronger than the other Canzers that they had been interrogating, which meant that they were a lot smarter and more resistant to torture techniques.
"But judging from your reactions, it seems that I'm right. Otis is related to the object," he said to the Canzers.
And despite how much the Canzers tried to hide it, their micro reaction to his words told him that he was right. They kidnapped Otis for this reason.
'Kill us now! We not tell you!' the Shadow Canzers roared.
Atlan didn't argue with them any longer. After all, he didn't even need to interrogate them at all.
"It's fine if you don't tell me. I'll know soon enough," Atlan said with nothing but confidence.
It was at this point that the Shadow Canzers realized something. Atlan was strong enough to have killed them in an instant, which meant that he could have saved Otis if he had wanted to. But for some reason, he didn't. He stayed his hand and let the shadow creatures take them into their lair.
These Canzers were not stupid. They quickly realized the only reason why Atlan would do such a thing.
Atlan set up a trap!
'No…We must alert others! Human is infiltrating lair! We must alert them!' the Canzers roared, trying to get away from the clones' grip.
But no matter how much they struggled, they were powerless against Atlan's strong grip, coupled with his Angel power that could weaken any Canzer even if they were Specialist-level Canzers.
It was practically a checkmate the moment Atlan's clones got near them.
Yet, they kept struggling. They wanted to inform their comrades to stop bringing Otis to their lair. They knew that Atlan planted a trap and could somehow locate their lair using Otis. That was the only way they could explain Atlan's cocky attitude.
And they were right. Atlan did plant a trap there, or more specifically, a dragon.
"If you're not going to tell me anything, then you're of no use to me," Atlan said as he commanded his clones to finish the job.
The clones then raised their hands, taking the Canzers's body up with it, and started to pummel the monster into the ground, weakening it to the point that the Canzers wished they were dead.
They couldn't fight and were helpless as Atlan's clones threw them around the Remedium like a ragdoll.
Meanwhile, Lizzie watched this with her eyes widened and her jaw slacked wide open. Somehow, the four Specialist-level Canzers were being treated like a small little toy being thrown around haphazardly.
It didn't make sense to her. After all, these were Specialist-level Canzers. She would need an entire team of Specialist-level Saviors to defeat just a single one of those Shadow Canzers.
But somehow, Atlan only needed his clones with him and he could somehow do it just by himself.
It was a surreal sight to see. If it weren't for her tremendous reflex as a cat person, the fish Canzer that she was currently fighting would have already taken advantage of the fact that she was so distracted at seeing Atlan beat up four Specialist-level Canzers by himself.
As for Ninth, this wasn't the first time she saw this sight. But even still, she couldn't help but still be in awe of his strength every time.
