Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 56: Altercation



The truck moved through the streets of Genesis City at a steady pace. Atlan looked through the windows and noticed that they passed by the 2nd street of the SpringField district, the same place where the mission took place.

He was surprised to see that the houses were already fixed and upright. There was no debris on the streets, the houses had fully refurbished paint, and people were walking out of their houses as if nothing happened.

He was surprised to see how fast everything was cleaned.

Lizzie said that the City had Operators who could rebuild houses within hours. What more can they do?

It seemed like the Operator specialty was more diverse than he thought. They could see through lies, create massive structures instantly, and even target the weaknesses of Canzers.

Soon enough, the truck parked just in front of Atlan's house. Lizzie bid him goodbye and congratulated him again for his accomplishments. In just a few days, she saw him soar through the heavens with his talent. She was very proud.

Atlan walked back to his house after Lizzie departed.

Just as he slumped on his comfortable bed, he suddenly saw new words pop up in front of him.

[Consolidation period over]

[You have successfully advanced your SSS class Apocalyptic Hellfire LifeSkill to the 2nd stage of the Student Realm]

—Sniper: (SSS) Apocalyptic Hellfire

——— 2nd stage Student

——— (0/2000)

Atlan tried to activate this LifeSkill back in the Remedium, but he saw that he couldn't do it. Since it had the job of a Sniper, Atlan guessed that he needed a gun or something with a projectile to activate it.

He remembered that time when he was practicing in the Training Hall Remedium and saw a Savior with a sniper job. He had this strange elongated tube with many attachments on it, and with just one flick of his finger, a powerful explosion shot out of the barrel and hit the Pseudo Canzer.

Just like his Cherubic Retribution which needed a target to be able to activate, his Apocalyptic Hellfire needed a medium to be used.

However, he didn't know how he was going to get a gun. Heck, he didn't even know how people get their weapons. They never told him this because he had no need for them; he was a porter.

Maybe I could ask Wemby and the others later. I could just make the excuse that I want to get a sword for self-defense.

Atlan quickly put the required experience in his LifeSkill and advanced it to the 3rd stage.

[You have successfully advanced through the 2nd Stage Student Realm of your SSS class LifeSkill Apocalyptic Hellfire]

[Consolidation period: 47 hrs: 59 mins: 50 secs]

He looked down at his body and didn't see the glowing light seep out of his body like last time. This proved his guess that he'd only show his advancement if his Physique LifeSkill was the one that advanced. This was beneficial to Atlan because he didn't want others to know about his myriad of LifeSkills in his Soul System.

And before going to sleep, Atlan snacked on the strange thing called 'chocolate'. He quite liked the mixture of sweet and bitter flavors he tasted.

With everything settled, Atlan closed his eyes and went to sleep.

###

The next day, Atlan woke up to another advancement.

[Consolidation period over]

[You have successfully advanced your SSS class Grim Reaper Physique LifeSkill to the 2nd stage of the Student Realm]

Specialty: GLOBAL

—God: (SSS) Grim Reaper Physique

——— 2nd stage Student Realm

————(2000 / 2000)

Atlan tried to put more experience into this LifeSkill, however, just like before, a strange invisible barrier prevented him from overfilling it.

And even though he filled it with blue wisps, the LifeSkill planet refused to coagulate into another solid layer. He couldn't advance to the 3rd stage.

Do I need to get blessed with experience from a God to advance it again?

Atlan found this a bit disappointing because it meant that he would have to finish missions and get 'blessed' with experience before he could advance it to the next stage. Can't I just advance it with my regular experience? I'd even be willing to pay twice the cost…

If other people heard his thoughts, they'd go green with envy. He was complaining about his 'slow' advancement even though it took other Saviors months or even years to accumulate enough experience points to advance to their next stage.

But since he couldn't do anything about it, he would just have to wait until he got another mission.

He got out of his house and walked towards the Savior HeadQuarters.

The party wasn't until this evening, so he had a lot of free time this morning. His first order of business was to get some advice from Wemby and the others about what to do at a 'party'. They'd probably have a lot of experience with mingling and socializing with others.

As for the rest of the day, he'd pass the time by killing some more Pseudo Canzers in the Training Hall Remedium.

When he turned the corner and saw the magnificent building of the HeadQuarters, he saw that fewer Saviors were walking up and down the steps. He didn't even see Neumann and the others anywhere.

They're probably inside, Atlan thought.

But just as he was about to walk up the steps, he suddenly heard a commotion to the side. There was shouting. Aggressive shouting. He turned his head and saw three people arguing near a secluded corner.

He was going to ignore them, but his enhanced eyesight caught a familiar face.

Wemby?

One of the guys arguing was Wemby. Atlan got curious and walked over towards them.

As he did, he noticed that Wemby and another person he didn't know were arguing with another person wearing a blue battle suit!

Wemby and his acquaintance were having some disagreements with an Operator. All three parties were angry. Wemby stayed on the sidelines, but the Vanguard and the Operator were having an intense argument, with their faces beet red.

These two looked like they were just about to throw hands.

Atlan couldn't help but approach the group. "What's happening?"

Wemby saw Atlan and immediately wanted him to back out. He knew that a fight was about to break out and he didn't want the newbie to get hurt.

The Operator with the blue suit saw Atlan approach and immediately hissed at him. "Stay out of this, you Knife."

The other person, the Vanguard with the green suit, also frowned when he saw Atlan approach.

"Don't interfere in other people's business, kid. Or else this Quill's not the only one who's going to know the strength of a 2nd stage Student like me."

Atlan ignored their words. The only thing in his mind was;

They look like they're about to hurt each other…I hate suffering…
