Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 465: Intense Struggle

Almost at the exact same moment, Nun appeared and blasted its Fountain of Contamination into the hole, and Clown also rushed onto the scene, cackling maniacally as it stuck a massive bundle of explosives that weighed at least one to two tons into the hole.

After that came Spider, which was in its full power seven-headed form, and it jumped onto Yamata no Orochi's body, clinging tightly to its scales with its legs as it unleashed all of its abilities, including toxic mist, laser beams, and blasts of fire. All of these attacks were aimed at Yamata no Orochi's other heads with the goal of obstructing their vision so Clown had enough time to detonate the bundle of explosives.

Boom!

Terrifying explosive power erupted within the hole in the serpentine head, destroying several dozen meters of the serpent's body in one fell swoop.

Due to how resolute its skin and scales were, the explosion was completely contained inside its body, thereby further exacerbating the damage, resulting in widespread destruction of the serpent's internal bodily structures.

Hebi no Miko roared in fury and agony, unleashing all types of attacks in all directions in a blind rage.

She had never taken Adam's invoked entities seriously before, and she had never expected that they would be able to work together to inflict such severe injuries upon her.

"Unforgivable!" Hebi no Miko screeched as she lashed out in retaliation, attempting to wipe out all of the anomalies in one go by targeting their invocator, Adam.

Thankfully, Mummy's defenses were very sound, warding off the majority of the damage, and Hellhound also let loose a timely Infernal Howl to ensure that Hebi no Miko's efforts to kill Adam were thwarted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Spider and Sludge climbed up to the upper half of the serpent's body, then began attacking the part where the eight heads were connected, sending scales flying in all directions as they attempted to punch another hole into Yamata no Orochi's body.

Of course, Hebi no Miko wasn't just going to stand around and allow that to happen, and she blasted Sludge away with a bolt of lightning, then interlaced several of her serpentine necks together to almost crush Spider to death.

However, Spider's main strength was its versatility, and it immediately activated his super defenses and super regenerative abilities, refusing to budge as it stuck to Yamata no Orochi like glue.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Adam invoked Camera, which flashed its shutter to immobilize the severely wounded Yamata no Orochi for an instant, then unleashed its signature criss-cross slashing attack to inflict a cross-shaped wound onto the point where the eight heads were connected.

Due to level disparity between the two, Camera was unable to decapitate Yamata no Orochi with a single strike, but it had still managed to severely wound two of its necks.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Spider activated its super speed ability, scrambling all the way to the top of the serpentine head that had unleashed the Undead Destruction technique before plunging its legs into its right eye and churning them around viciously a few times.

Meanwhile, Adam instantly withdrew Sludge and Camera, and almost at the exact same moment, a bolt of retaliative lightning from Hebi no Miko just barely passed him by, punching through Scarecrow's body once again to destroy at least a third of its cloak.

That was close!

At this point, Adam was able to invoke his anomalies almost instantaneously, yet the attack had still almost failed, and that was a testament to just how fast and powerful Hebi no Miko's attacks were.

At this point, Hebi no Miko realized that Adam seemed to have found a way to target her, and she instantly reverted back to her human form, punching a hole through Spider's body with her bare fist before rushing over to scarecrow and destroying most of what remained of its cloak of bats with another punch.

She had abandoned her Yamata no Orochi form so that she could make use of the speed and power of her human form, and she was moving so quickly that Adam's eyes were completely unable to keep up. Her fists were the most fearsome weapons, and she was about to use them to smash Scarecrow's body to bits.

Adam was scrambling to withdraw all of his anomalies, and after Hellhound was struck by a punch from Hebi no Miko as well, he wrapped it up in bandages and dragged it behind himself for protection.

Right at this moment, the final remnants of Scarecrow's cloak was finally destroyed by another punch from Hebi no Miko, and it disintegrated in all directions as plumes of murky smoke.

Adam was only just barely able to keep himself afloat in mid-air with his bandages, and Hebi no Miko cackled with glee upon seeing this. With another punch, she smashed through a vast section of bandages, and without the bandages in her way, she would be able to strike down Adam directly with her fists.

However, right at this moment, the entire surrounding area turned dark as Adam unleashed his Lights Out ability. This ability was effective on low-level opponents, but it barely had any effect at all on Hebi no Miko, and she initially thought that Adam was finally out of tricks. However, she then sensed that something wasn't quite right, and she wanted to dart back in retreat, but it was already too late.

In the next instant, Distortion appears directly behind her, then wrapped itself around her body as it unleashed its Physical Shackles, Spiritual Shackles, and Mental Distortion abilities all at once.

Distortion was now a level seven anomaly, and it was able to draw upon Adam's psychic power to fuel its abilities, so despite the level disparity between itself and Hebi no Miko, it was still able to temporarily immobilize her thanks to the element of surprise.

Hebi no Miko completely failed to anticipate this, and not only was Distortion pressed tightly against her, it was attempting to force its way into her body. The humiliation from this sensation instantly set her temper alight, and she let loose a furious screech that tore a massive rift into the dark sky above.

The ultra high frequency soundwaves directly assaulted Adam's mind, almost causing him to lose his psychic connection to his invoked anomalies.

Distortion was also unable to withstand such an attack, and its body began to vibrate at an ultra high frequency, making it impossible for it to continue to cling to Hebi no Miko.

Adam hurriedly withdrew his bandages and allowed himself to plummet out of the sky in free fall in order to open up some distance between himself and Hebi no Miko. At the same time, Hebi no Miko's body exploded into a cloud of rolling mist.

Adam could sense a burst of unprecedentedly immense psychic power within the mist, and it was rapidly expanding, like an infant that had developed to the adult stage in the blink of an eye before continuing to swell to unfathomable heights.

Hebi no Miko had completed another transformation, and she was like a phoenix that had been reborn from the ashes, finally discarding her final layer of disguise to reveal her truest form for the first time.

This is what I've been waiting for!

Adam immediately pounced on this opportunity to unleash his final trump card.

In the blink of an eye, a domain took shape in the surrounding area, and a majestic figure appeared, looking down with cold and emotionless eyes at the cloud of rapidly dissipating mist.

Angel had finally emerged onto the battlefield.
