Chapter 167: Boredom satiated
The Water Sphere turned into a ball made up of different elements, reinforcing it into something that could destroy an entire building into mere rubble.
The 6th stage Saviors used up all the energy inside their Soul System to construct this one attack. They aimed to intimidate the Sapient Canzers from attacking them by showing their combined powers.
Having 7 Saviors working together in perfect coordination was no easy task. One wrong move and all their hard work manifesting the water sphere would dissipate into nothingness.
Despite the exhaustion and the pressure they faced from the Sapient Canzers, the 6th-stage Students found the focus and concentration they needed by following their trusted leader. She never wavered even once. She kept her back straight and faced the Sapient Canzers with full trust in her teammates.
"Don't underestimate humans!" screamed Tarish as she guided the Super Powered Water Sphere towards the lone Sapient Canzer.
")$(@*!&$)$"
'Good! This is a worthy opponent!'
The monstrous Canzer, with its dual wings flapping in excitement, faced the Water Sphere with bare hands. It flew through the air and intercepted the Water Sphere. It faced it head-on.
Steam and mist spurted out from the middle of the collision.
The Sapient Canzer pushed back against the power of the Water Sphere, but its chitinous fingers chipped away with every second it tried to grasp and control the Water Sphere.
Its wings flapped harder to try and gather enough force to push back against the humans' combined powers.
But in the end, it couldn't resist against the combined might of the 6th stage Saviors.
The Sapient Canzer was completely torn into shreds as the Water Sphere enveloped it entirely. The ball of power continued on its original course and crash-landed on the first line of Sapient Canzers waiting in the distance.
BOUUUGH
The Water Sphere exploded, sending hot slices of water that tore through the chitinous armors of hundreds of Sapient Canzers.
"Haaa….Haaaa…."
Tarish and the rest of her team couldn't help but smile when they saw their power completely demolish the arrogant Sapient Canzer.
But Atlan couldn't celebrate just yet. He crossed his arms with a serious expression on his face as he looked at the aftermath of the explosion.
Out from the torn shreds of the first Sapient Canzer, grew five more clones that looked the same as the one that 'died'.
And those that got destroyed by the Water Sphere's explosion spawned even more clones than before.
These new Sapient Canzers emerged with devious smiles on their faces. They derived pleasure from seeing the smile fade away from the humans as they realized that their strongest attacks were useless against them.
DUM…DUM DUM…DUM…
Their wings flapped in a rhythmic pattern as they saw the terror creep into the humans' faces. It made them euphoric!
"$(#*@&*$%&@)($(@)#)($*%)"
'Oh how I've missed that face…humans truly make the best expressions…I can't wait to see their faces as they die.'
The clones of the Sapient Canzers walked forward in synchronicity, like a well-trained army.
Tarish's bravery melted as she realized the kind of monster they faced.
"Infection Sapient Canzers…"
She didn't know what to do. There was nothing she could do.
It was a completely hopeless situation.
If they faced a Sapient Destruction Canzer, they could hold on long enough by killing it over and over again. Even if it could regenerate its injuries, it still gave them hope that if they lasted long enough, there was a chance they could get rescued.
But with a Sapient Infection Canzer, the more they try to fight them, the harder it will become to survive.
If they don't fight Infection Canzers, they die. If they fight them, they'll multiply endlessly and get killed faster.
And unlike normal Infection Canzers, these Sapient monsters were clad with Chitinous armor from head to toe. They were as hard to kill as Destruction Canzers.
"$(@**%&"
'Scream! I want to hear your screams!'
A few Sapient Canzers unfolded their wings and flew towards the 6th stage Saviors.
The mages activated their LifeSkills and defended themselves, but the monsters were too fast. Before their powers manifested in reality, the Canzers skewered their bodies with thousands of spikes in its fist.
"AAGHH!" the Water mage screamed. He felt his SoulTime draining by the years!
There was poison in those spikes.
But that wasn't the end of their torment. The Canzer raised the water mage up and slammed him back down on the ground, pushing its spikes deeper in its body and causing further internal damage.
"KAGHH!" The water mage coughed up blood.
The Canzer seemed to get aroused each time it heard the human scream. It continued harassing the water mage until he could no longer scream.
The Water mage barely clung onto life. He was mere hours away from losing his entire SoulTime.
"%#(@*!)$"
'No more fun.'
Now that it felt satisfied, the Sapient Canzer tossed the water mage's body to the side like trash. It didn't even deem him worthy to be killed.
He wasn't the only one.
Tarish, and the rest of her team were brutalized by the Sapient Canzers. The tanks lasted longer, but the Sapient Canzers used their superior speed and strength to wear down their defenses.
It wasn't long till their shields were deformed like scrap metal.
The violet grasslands were stained with dark red pools of blood. The 6th stage Saviors had cuts and lacerations all over their bodies, bleeding them of their SoulTime. They had less than a day left till they died.
Tarish was the only one left standing in her team. She used her giant shield to keep herself up no matter how much her body wanted to lie down.
From her hazy eyesight, she saw one Sapient Canzer approach a black battle suited youth on the back.
After finishing them off, the Sapient Canzer now wanted to deal with the last person in their group, Atlan.
Atlan stood tall against the approaching Sapient Canzer. He looked at it eye to eye.
"$*#)*!)($*%&)@_%&@!_!_$$(*(*#@"
'This human dare to look at me this way…tsk. No matter. The terror in his face will be much more delicious.'
But before the Sapient Canzer could approach Atlan, it suddenly felt something grab its legs.
It looked down and saw Tarish holding onto its feet.
"Please! Spare him!"
Tarish wanted to protect the Star Porter. He was a transcendent talent that she needed to preserve.
She knew that Sapient Canzers were a prideful bunch. So, she catered to its need for superiority.
She pulled herself closer to the Canzer's feet and kissed it in reverence.
"Spare him! Oh, great Sapient Canzer!"
The monster's smile couldn't have gotten any wider.
"%(#*)$)@)(%)$)@)%"
'Fine. I will spare you humans. My boredom has been satiated.'
