Chapter 463: World-destroying Wall
Just a single head of Yamata no Orochi was enough to fill Adam's entire field of view, and it was difficult to imagine just how enormous its entire eight-headed body was.
The light that was radiating from its eyes was filled with a type of evil power that struck the beholder with a sense of awe and veneration, then flooded their minds with all types of irrepressible deranged thoughts and desires.
Shae had never witnessed anything like this before, and a sense of fear welled up in her heart, causing her to involuntarily shudder and almost separate herself from Hellhound.
"Do we really stand a chance of defeating such a formidable enemy?"
If she had a choice in the matter, she wouldn't have come here. A battle of this caliber was far beyond anything that she could make a difference in.
"If she had remained hidden the entire time, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to her, but now that she's revealed herself, our victory is sealed."
It seemed as if Adam were stating a fact rather than trying to encourage his companions, and Hebi no Miko's enormous head instantly erupted into laughter upon hearing this.
"Your victory is sealed? What are you going to beat me with? Your invoked entities? Or do you think this little dragon here is enough to beat me on her own?"
Diana wasted no time with words as she spread her and circled around in the air to reach her maximum speed, then hurtled directly toward Hebi no Miko's serpentine head like a small mountain.
From down below, it appeared that the head was even more massive than her entire body.
"That's just a psychic projection. Her true body definitely isn't that huge," Adam remarked, seeing through the facade thanks to his sharp telegnosis.
However, there wasn't much point to that observation. Even though this was a projection, it still stemmed from reality, and it wasn't purely an illusion as it was formed by Hebi no Miko's psychic power.
Diana plowed straight into Hebi no Miko's head with indescribable power in a kamikaze attack, and the sound of metal clashing against metal rang out in the sky, while a flurry of sparks appeared to illuminate both of them.
The serpentine head instantly lost most of its size, and very clear signs of damage had appeared on her glossy black scales. Furthermore, the damage was taking a bit longer to recover than normal.
"Keep going, Diana! Your power is having a very strong impact on her!" Adam called out from down below while instructing Sludge to liquefy and reform.
At the same time, Hellhound unleashed its Infernal Howl several times in succession at his behest to accelerate the healing of his wounded anomalies.
Horse Face reappeared within the toxic mist and quickly completed its Lamenting Wall, which rapidly spread in all directions, covering virtually the entire battlefield in the span of no more than a few seconds.
That should be enough.
Meanwhile, Diana continued to lash out ferociously, unleashing a series of attacks with her claws, fangs, and her draconic breath.
The serpentine head was finally successfully provoked by the attacks, opening its mouth to release a jet of poison. At the same time, another head appeared beside it, and it was releasing a pillar of flames to attack Diana from the other side.
However, it only took an instant for Diana to fly out of the barrage of poison and fire, and a layer of light flashed over the surface of her ravaged scales, as if the divine power in her body had been forced to the fore.
The tips of her claws were shimmering with golden light as they bore into scales of the serpentine head that was releasing fire out of its mouth, and a massive hole was torn open, sending blood that was alight with poisonous flames gushing forth in a frenzy.
The massive serpent roared with pain as its body shrank down once again, and at the same time, two more heads emerged to attack Diana with lightning and blades of wind. Countless gashes were instantly sliced into Diana's entire body before those gashes were charred black by arcs of lightning.
Hellhound continued to let loose Infernal Howls with all its might, drawing upon Adam's psychic power to provide healing for Diana.
Diana's ferocious assault quickly forced out all of Yamata no Orochi's heads, as well as the entirety of its body.
The ground beneath Adam's feet began to quake violently, and the skyscrapers in the distance collapsed one after another, following which the entire earth began to slowly rise up, then shattered to reveal a layer of glossy black scales.
The entire city was being forcibly split open by Yamata no Orochi's sheer mass!
As a result, the Lamenting Wall was essentially sitting right on the surface of its body.
This enormous body was also nothing more than a projection, and it was expanding and contracting at Hebi no Miko's behest. All of the fragments of the shattered buildings were carrying its body like a vast cloud, clinging to it without disappearing or falling away.
Adam wrapped his bandages around half of the skyscraper beneath him so that he would have some stable footing, as well as to ensure that Horse Face had a solid foundation from which it could continue to expand its Lamenting Wall.
Adam was determined to match Yamata no Orochi's enormous size with his Lamenting Wall.
Finally, the constant tremors stopped, and the entire city had transformed into a swirling sea of filth. Yamata no Orochi had stabilized itself at a length of close to a kilometer, and it was swimming through the sea of filth.
In contrast, Diana was made to look like a tiny little bird, and her entire body wasn't even as thick as one of Yamata no Orochi's necks.
This was the extent of what Diana could do, and as Yamata no Orochi let loose a thunderous roar and unleashed its World's End Lightning, Diana was completely swallowed by a forest of lightning before plummeting out of the sky with dense black smoke rising up from its body.
During her fall, she reverted back to her human form, and her injuries were so severe that she was unable to move.
Adam caught her with his bandages before dragging her over to his side for projection, and Diana was only able to say one thing before falling unconscious: "I'll leave the rest to you."
"You can count on me."
Adam carefully wrapped her up in layers of bandages before setting her down behind him, then turned his gaze to Hebi no Miko with a cold smile on his face.
"Even after so long, you still only have those same few tricks up your sleeve. Looks like we'll get to have snake meat today."
"What a joke! You can't even withstand a single attack from me, what gives you the confidence to spout all this nonsense?"
Under normal circumstances, Hebi no Miko wouldn't have wasted time with words, but at the moment, they were in her psychic world, and she needed time to recover from her injuries, so she was willing to entertain Adam for a while.
In reality, Hebi no Miko wasn't wrong. In the past, her speed and power were simply far too much for Adam to deal with.
However, things were different now.
].
"Take a look at this!"
As soon as Adam's voice trailed off, an unprecedentedly massive Lamenting Wall appeared.
Boom!
An illusory city rose up from the ground, inundating Yamata no Orochi and making it appear as if countless spikes had pierced through its body.
However, this was only a projection that was unable to inflict any substantial harm, but what came next was a wave of emotions that struck Hebi no Miko right in the depths of her heart.
In the face of the despairing howls from countless terrified individuals, even Hebi no Miko was going to be swallowed up by despair eventually, despite her tremendous willpower.
However, she wasn't going to allow things to get to that point, and she immediately unleashed another forbidden technique: Undead Destruction.
