NOVEL NEXT Chapter 424: Let me handle this
"Gods help us!"
"Ahhh! Monster! There's a monster!"
"He's going to eat me! I want to get out of here!"
The civilians acted as they would upon seeing their very first Canzer. All the preparations and the warnings the professional Saviors gave them were all thrown out the window once they were faced with an actual giant Canzer that could swallow ten humans in one go without a single problem.
Their instincts as humans took over, and they panicked. They started to back away from the monster, no matter if there was somebody else they had to crawl over.
It created chaos and injuries that could have been totally prevented if they had just remained calm and stayed in their positions.
And there was no use in them trying to crawl up the walls for safety. If the creature wanted to kill them, then it didn't matter if they tried to run 10 kilometers away from this location. The Basilisk would be able to find them and kill them without a problem.
But, these civilians weren't acting rationally. They were scared out of their wits.
Unfortunately, this chaos also broke the Saviors' formation, leading them to be toppled down or stepped on by the civilians.
Carmine, himself, felt the intense urge to try and run away from the Basilisk just like the rest of them. However, his wisdom and greater judgment allowed him to remain calm and in position.
As long as Kobra was in front of him, then he could be assured that he would be safe. And if Kobra died, then there was absolutely no hope for them at all. They would die either way.
KRAOOO! the Basilisk screamed.
It tried to search for the death energy it had seen in this room, but somehow, it had disappeared the moment that it burst through the walls.
The Basilisk was an intelligent creature. It immediately knew that this was a trap.
After all, the Basilisk was famous for its maze lair. The humans were supposed to get lost in the Remedium, and slowly, the Basilisk would kill them one by one without any of them the wiser.
But now, the Basilisk was lured out of his lair, meaning that it had lost its greatest defense. The humans no longer had to tread through the maze to find its real body.
The Basilisk looked at all the humans in front of him with great hatred and intensity. He was lured here by a human in the crowd, he just didn't know who.
There were a couple of strong humans in the crowd, but none of them gave the Basilisk a feeling of death and danger.
Since he knew that the humans had no way of defeating him, the Basilisk decided to simply kill all of them and wait for the humans hiding in the shadows.
The Basilisk thought that no one in the room could emanate that kind of death energy.
Meanwhile, Atlan looked up at the Basilisk with absolutely no fear on his face. He observed it with great curiosity.
"Altan, you mustn't let the other humans get to the Basilisk before you," said the Enchanted Queen dragon. "We need to speak with the Basilisk and find out how it's able to break the rules of reality and summon humans into the Remedium."
He would have done that even if the Queen didn't tell him. He was also curious as to how a Canzer was able to transfer a human onto the Remedium without a portal. And who better to ask than the Canzer responsible for this whole thing.
Meanwhile, Kobra slowly approached the Basilisk, braving the dangers and trying to protect his fellow humans.
But before he could even take another step, he suddenly heard a carefree voice at his side.
"Let me handle this," said Atlan.
Kobra, Carmine, and the rest of the humans all watched as Atlan slowly approached the Basilisk with a casualness that completely disregarded the danger and threat of the giant Basilisk in front of him.
"Star Porter, what are you doing?" Kobra asked.
"Atlan! Get out of there!" Carmine urgently shouted.
But despite their warnings, Atlan ignored them.
He continued to walk towards the Basilisk step by step, with the creature looking down at him with a bit of amusement on its face. It couldn't believe that this weak human was trying to face a legendary creature such as itself.
With a single poison breath, this human would turn into nothing but mulch.
"I'll fight with you," said Kobra.
But Atlan stopped and turned to him with a serious face.
"I told you, I'll handle this myself,"
As he said those words, a burst of death energy exploded out of Atlan's body, filling everything and everyone around him with dread.
Kobra couldn't help but take a step back until he tripped and fell on his back.
His eyes showed fear. Whenever he looked at Atlan, he felt as if he could see a black ominous figure floating above him—a giant skull that personified death!
Even the Basilisk was surprised with the sudden onslaught of death energy. It jumped away from Atlan, afraid that the death energy would somehow affect its own body and degrade it through touch alone.
'What is this…who are you…' the basilisk asked.
"I am human, and you are Canzer. So tell me, how are you able to transport us into this Remedium?" Atlan asked, his feet slowly walking towards the Basilisk.
The giant half-snake half-lizard monster couldn't help but instinctually step back as Atlan was getting closer to it.
The Basilisk couldn't believe what was happening. A human was able to make him retreat! This was preposterous!
SHAAA!
'I'm not going to tell you!' the Basilisk screamed.
Its split tongue suddenly shot down towards Atlan, coming with it an intense cloud of poison fog that would disintegrate anything that it touched.

But as it landed on the ground, its target suddenly disappeared.
The Basilisk didn't even see Atlan move, yet he was gone nonetheless.
Just then, it felt a strong presence above.
The Basilisk looked up and saw Atlan with Angel Wings on his back.
