Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 134: Multiple

Chapter 134: Multiple

Due to the special nature of the environment here, Adam didn't dare to let down his guard even in the slightest against this anomaly. After all, in his mind, there was a very good chance that this anomaly was even more powerful than the scarecrow anomaly.

Hence, his first reaction to the anomaly's approach was to avoid a direct confrontation.

Thus, he immediately unleashed his only long-range offensive ability, Vampiric Halo, to temporarily force back the anomaly, then crashed through the wall of the beer bar with his body of steel to flee outside.

Nie Yiyi hurriedly arrived on the scene after hearing the commotion. "What's going on?"

"I've discovered an anomaly!"

"How strong is it?"

"I don't know for now."

While Adam was speaking, the anomaly had already rushed out after him. She opened her mouth before releasing a long lizard-like tongue, which swept through the air as it was whipped at Adam.

Its attack isn't very fast.

The lackluster speed of his opponent's attack left Adam feeling rather perplexed, and he swung his carving knife through the air in a probing attack. To his surprise, he was able to slice the anomaly's tongue in half with ease.

Not only is its attack quite slow, its defenses are also very mediocre as well. Why does this anomaly seem so weak?

Adam was even more perplexed to see this, but he still didn't dare to grow complacent and maintained his distance from his opponent.

Meanwhile, Hellhound and Nie Yiyi also entered the fray.

"It doesn't seem to be very strong at all." Nie Yiyi had also noticed that something wasn't quite right. "Is this a trap?"

"I don't know. I'm going in, you stay back and support me."

Adam was quite confident in his defenses, and in the end, he made up his mind to directly engage the anomaly, charging directly at her with far superior speed before lashing out with his carving knife.

To his surprise, his attack was able to inflict severe damage upon the anomaly, causing her body to release a huge volume of sludge like a crushed grape, drenching Adam's entire body.

However, the sludge was also entirely harmless, and it seemed to be nothing more than the anomaly's blood.

It seems to be really weak, so why is the environment here so oppressive?

Right as Adam was becoming more and more perplexed by the situation, a small child suddenly rushed out of the beer bar.

The child had a deathly gray complexion, and his eyes were completely black without any white sections. All of a sudden, he let loose a loud scream, and Adam was instantly struck by a sense of crippling feebleness. It was as if all of the strength in his body had been sapped away, and he didn't even have the strength left to raise his carving knife.

This is an incredibly powerful single-target cyberhex ability!

Back in the underground parking lot, Adam had previously faced a cyberhex-casting opponent, but that adapter was nowhere near as powerful as this child.

As the anomaly of pain, Mummy possessed a very high level of resistance to cyberhexes, but even so, he was still completely immobilized.

The female anomaly could see that Adam was in a severely debilitated state, and she dragged her broken body over to him before attempting to stuff him into her private regions.

Adam had witnessed the female anomaly's digestive ability, and he knew that even with his physical resistance, he most likely wouldn't have been able to escape a gruesome fate if he were to be stuffed into her genitalia.

Thankfully, Nie Yiyi's attacks arrived in a timely fashion. She slashed her blades through the air to release two blades of wind, one of which severed the female anomaly's arms, while the other forced back the child anomaly.

The female anomaly's injuries were very severe, but she didn't seem to be able to feel any pain, and she let loose a sharp screech before aiming her severed arms at Nie Yiyi from afar and releasing a torrent of sludge.

Meanwhile, the child anomaly also cast a cyberhex upon Nie Yiyi at the exact same moment, completely debilitating her so that she was reduced to a sitting duck that was completely doused in the wave of sludge.

The sludge didn't have any harmful properties, but as the female anomaly uttered a string of cybercode, the sludge began to release a strange aroma. Upon breathing in this scent, Adam's thoughts instantly became scattered and chaotic, and he was even struck by the urge to attack his allies.

As the anomaly of pain, Mummy possessed exceptional defenses in all facets, so Adam was able to just barely cling to a shred of sanity. However, the same didn't apply to Nie Yiyi. As soon as the female anomaly began to utter that string of cybercode, she immediately raised her blades to attack Adam, only to be stopped by Hellhound.

"Carry her to me!"

Having completely lost her sanity, Nie Yiyi was attacking like a deranged drunkard with countless holes in her defense, so Hellhound was able to sink its fangs into her body with ease.

It immediately followed Adam's instruction, carrying Nie Yiyi over to him from afar between its jaws. Adam then grabbed onto Nie Yiyi's arm and left the psychic world by force before the two anomalies could attack them again.

After opening his eyes, there was still a hint of lingering fear on Adam's face.

Those two anomalies were so strange!

Nie Yiyi also opened her eyes, but they were still completely dazed, and she was silent for a long while. Clearly, the chaotic state that her psychic body had been in had extended into the real world.

She stood up before looking around like someone who had just woken up from a deep sleep, and only after close to 20 seconds had passed did she recall who she was and where she was.

"What happened in there?" Shae asked in an urgent voice. "Was there an anomaly?"

"There was. In fact, there was more than one, and both of them were really strong."

"How strong?"

"A little weaker than the nun anomaly, but they possess some very strange abilities."

"Why are there two anomalies in there?"

"I'm not sure. This is the first time I've ever encountered a situation like this as well. However, it's certainly not impossible to deal with those two anomalies."

Thinking back, even though the pair of anomalies possessed some troublesome abilities, their speed, and offensive and defensive prowess were all quite lackluster, so if they could successfully catch them off guard with a sneak attack, Adam was confident that he would be able to kill them in a very short time.

In terms of pure power, the two anomalies most likely weren't at the level three standard. Instead, they were only a pair of top-tier level two anomalies that possessed some very troublesome abilities. If Adam could make sufficient preparations and prevent them from working together, he would be able to take care of them both even without any assistance.

Nie Yiyi was also of the same opinion.

"Those two anomalies are really annoying to deal with, but they also have very prominent weaknesses. If we go in again, we should be able to kill them."

"Should we try again then?"

"I'll go in as well this time."

Shae didn't want to be left out on this occasion. She had chosen not to enter the psychic world out of habit so that she could keep a lookout for Adam and Nie Yiyi in the real world, but after some consideration, she had decided to place her trust in the Green Gang.

In any case, they were already on the Green Gang's turf, so if they decided to turn on her, then she wouldn't be able to oppose them all on her own anyway. Hence, there was no reason for her to remain in the real world while Adam and Nie Yiyi entered the psychic world.

"That's a good idea. We should have better chances of success with all three of us going in together."

After taking a brief rest to recover some energy, the three of them invaded the subject's psychic world together.

Upon arriving in the psychic world, the ground underfoot was still as squelchy and sticky as ever. However, as Adam inspected his surroundings, he was greeted by the sight of a completely different scene.

"This isn't the same psychic module as before." This time, he had appeared in an underground chamber, the layout and construction of which was very similar to that of the underground chambers typically found in Sandrise City. "We have to return to the same psychic module from last time."

"This place is so oppressive... Even breathing here is a chore." Shae was struck by an immense sense of discomfort as soon as she entered the psychic world. "Invoke Hellhound for me, I'm having trouble breathing."

Adam nodded in response and invoked both Hellhound and Mummy. As a safety precaution, only after both he and Shae had fused with the two anomalies did he push open the door and make his way outside.

Immediately thereafter, he heard a desperate cry for help.

"Help... Help... Where am I right now? Someone help me!"

The cries for help were accompanied by a woman's sobs.
