Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

"Atlan." Lizzie came running towards him and buried her face in his chest. She clicked her tongue once she saw Atlan walking normally in the battle suit.

There was a small part of her that wished that Atlan wasn't able to carry the battle suit at all. That way, he wouldn't have to go on the mission.

"It's not too late to back down."

"I have to do this," he replied.

Lizzie removed herself from him and sniffed. "Fine. My only solace to the fact that you're embarking on this mission is because of Ninth. I'm sure that she'd protect you to the best of her abilities.

Just make sure to always follow her instructions. No going off on your own. I repeat, no shenanigans! Don't think I don't know you, Atlan. You will undoubtedly do some stupid thing and risk your life for no reason."

Atlan smiled guiltily. She was right on the mark. He was explicitly told by everyone that he shouldn't try to fight the Specialist Canzers, but Atlan planned on getting at least one hit on them. Of course, he wasn't going to do it if it risked his life. But, if he found an opportunity, he was going to take it.

Seeing his silence, Lizzie felt annoyed once again. "Whatever! Go and talk to Ninth. I'm sure that she'll whip you into shape. She won't allow any deviance in her plans."

Atlan walked over to Ninth, who was still busy talking to her team.

"Atlan, you're finally here." Ninth welcomed him.

She observed his movements. Although he was moving slowly, he showed no difficulty in maneuvering the heavy battle suit. Just from his walk alone, she was able to assess his readiness for the mission. She was thoroughly impressed to realize that Atlan would be able to keep up with them even with his battle suit.

"Woah…I didn't think that was possible."

"Ninth, you were right. He was able to wield the battle suit after all."

"I thought we'd have to postpone. I'm happy to admit I'm wrong."

The rest of her team expressed their surprise once they saw Atlan. They were briefed about the capabilities of Atlan's battle suit and knew that it contained tens if not hundreds of constructs in one. They thought that it was impossible for anyone, much less a Student-level porter, to walk with it.

In truth, Atlan did not have the strength to carry the battle suit. It was all thanks to his Angel bloodline. It helped him subdue the wild leftover Canzer essences in the battle suit and lessened the weight they were putting on him.

"I'll have to introduce you to my team, Atlan. We have 8 people in total, including you.

We have two tanks, one mage, one DPS, a sniper, a scout, a Mesmer, and a porter."

Ninth introduced each and every one of her team to Atlan, including their jobs in this current mission.

"In the very front is our main tank. His job is to be the first one the Canzers lock on to. He will exhaust their attacks, giving us the opportunity to attack.

Floating on his right is our scout. His position can vary. He can go at the very front, or the very back. Since we don't know what kinds of Canzers are awaiting us on the inside, his job is crucial. He will be informing us on what we'll be facing before we face them.

Behind the main tank is the DPS, me. My job is to search for any weaknesses in the Canzer and exploit them.

Behind me is the Mage, the Mesmer, and the Sniper.

The Mage's job is to deal damage in a large area. Her job is to make sure we don't get surrounded by enemies in all directions.

The Mesmer works in tandem with me and the Tank. He will conjure illusions and mind tricks that will disorient our enemies, allowing me to close in and attack their weaknesses.

The Sniper's job is to deal damage from afar. He will be the first to attack long before the Canzer can get near our positions, giving us the advantage.

Atlan, you'll be positioned behind them. Usually, a porter is at the very back of the formation, but this mission is different. We'll position the other tank behind you, and his sole job is to protect you from any harm. Even if our team gets ravaged, he will not move. He is your bodyguard."

The bodyguard tank walked up to Atlan and shook his hand. "If I say to move, you move. If I tell you to stay, you stay. I can't protect you if I don't know how you'll move. The Remedium will get more wonkier the closer we get to the Church, so you better stick close to me."

Atlan nodded. He understood the man's concern, but that didn't mean he was going to follow it.

He quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, why aren't we entering the Remedium directly in the Church? Why do we have to enter through one of the main roads?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ninth answered his question. "The Canzers have already appeared on the Church Remedium. They got to it first. This means that they'll be able to prepare for our entry.

If we go through the portal in the Church, we'll end up in the middle of the Canzers. It is an immediate disadvantage.

But if we enter through the main roads, we'll be approaching them on our own accord. We can take them one by one."

The thought of fighting multiple Specialist-level Canzers scared the wits out of Atlan.

"If we know that there are Specialist Canzers there, why don't we have all the Specialist Saviors join us in the mission?"

Since this mission was critical to the City's safety, it only made sense for all the Specialist Vanguards to join hands. Atlan found it weird that only 7 Specialist Saviors were assigned to this mission.

"We can, but it will only allow other Canzers to infiltrate the Remedium. There is a reason why each team is limited to a maximum of 8 members.

If we exceed that, our presence will create a hole in the Remedium allowing other Canzers to easily enter the Remedium.

But if we only have eight members enter, we can be sure that there are only a maximum of eight Canzers inside."
