Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 477: Fierce Battle

The attack had come extremely quickly, only a tiny bit slower than a laser beam, and it was incredibly powerful, punching a hole straight through Sludge.

It was an electromagnetic cannon!

On the way here, Adam had already witnessed just how formidable this type of weapon was. It had completely destroyed that mecha that had withstood a multitude of explosions earlier, and not only had this attack severely wounded Sludge, it had also blown out the key that was concealed in its body.

Another black shadow flew through the air like lightning before grabbing the key and attempting to flee. In response, Adam instantly separated from Sludge before fusing with Mummy again, and at the same time, Camera, which was about to attack the demonic being again, switched targets to deal the black shadow a vicious blow.

The black shadow let loose an agonized howl, and it was revealed to have been a humanoid bird creature with wings on its back, and it was most certainly a psychic body.

Its body was six meters in length and extremely streamlined, perfect for high-speed flight. Camera had just severed its talons, which were gripping onto the key, and Mummy's bandages instantly shot forth to recover it.

Right at this moment, the demonic being suddenly let loose a thunderous roar, and around a dozen bone spikes detached themselves from its body before flying directly at Mummy.

Mummy's runed bandages formed a series of protective barriers at Adam’s behest, keeping all of the bone spikes at bay.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the demonic being regrew an arm, then pulled out one of its own ribs as a replacement blade, which it swung down with formidable power.

Adam didn't dare to prolong this battle any longer. He had no idea how many opponents that he was facing, and the best thing for him would be to get on that railcar as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, it still hadn't appeared. He immediately invoked Scarecrow, and as soon as it emerged, a vast dark cloud appeared in the sky, while countless bats came swooping in from all directions, forming a smokescreen that obstructed the vision of the long-range snipers in the distance.

At the same time, Scarecrow charged toward the demonic being, managing to keep it at bay with its metal hook. Meanwhile, Camera pounced from the side, clicking its shutter to immobilize the demonic being for an instant once again before unleashing a powerful strike to decapitate it.

Before Adam had a chance to celebrate, a missile suddenly flew through the clouds of bats before striking Scarecrow, and the shockwaves resulting from the explosion also affected the fragile Camera, resulting in minor injuries.

As a safety precaution, Adam had no choice but to withdraw Camera, and he turned around to discover a tank approaching him from a distance. There were all types of cannon barrels and missile launchers protruding out of the tank, making it resemble a porcupine, and all of those weapons were firing at him in unison.

The resulting barrage of explosives was extremely fearsome, and Adam hurriedly ordered Scarecrow to intercept the attacks with its bats, sacrificing themselves to intercept as many projectiles as possible. In the meantime, Scarecrow swept up Mummy in its massive cloak before retreating back over 100 meters.

Meanwhile, the barrage of explosions had already transformed the spot where Adam had been standing just a moment ago into a fiery hellscape!

Adam was becoming more and more concerned by the second. His enemies were capable of combining psychic techniques with digital simulation technology, and the resulting attacks were extremely fearsome.

If he had someone like Diana by his side, perhaps she would've been able to retaliate with some large-scale attacks, but on his own, this was a terrible situation to be in.

Even so, Adam remained completely unfazed, invoking over 20 low-level anomalies at once. Individually, none of them were all that formidable, but they were very useful for distracting enemy fire.

On top of that, he instructed Clown to conjure up hundreds of clones, all of which spread themselves far and wide, scurrying everywhere while firing off their weapons in retaliation.

All of a sudden, the entire battlefield was plunged into complete chaos, and the tank was struck by a barrage of gunfire and missiles from dozens of Clown clones. That wasn't enough to destroy the tank, but the tank was also unable to take aim at Adam through all of the explosions.

Right at this moment, an attack aircraft suddenly flew through the sky at a low altitude, unloading a massive missile straight onto the center of the battlefield, creating an explosion that sent shockwaves sweeping through the surrounding area in a radius of 100 to 200 meters.

At least half of the Clown clones were destroyed by the explosion, and Clown itself also sustained severe injuries, so Adam had no choice but to withdraw it for now. At the same time, around a dozen of his low-level anomalies had been killed with no chance for resurrection. Adam was flying back while wrapped up in Scarecrow's cloak, but he was still struck by the shockwaves from the explosion, and both anomalies suffered minor injuries.

This collection of enemies was no less formidable than Hebi no Miko, and to further compound Adam's woes, they were even more flexible and prudent.

He was just about to invoke Horse Face to retaliate against his enemies when the ground suddenly began to bulge, following which a giant figure sprang up into the air from underground, appearing to have been some type of massive insect.

The insect had a spindle-shaped head with four mandibles, which, when split open, revealed dozens of snake heads inside, all of which were screeching incessantly, producing soundwave attacks with psychic disruption effects. Somehow, it seemed to have been to detect Adam's location, and bursts of yellow sand came flying out of several of its snake heads.

In the blink of an eye, the entire space was filled with yellow sand that appeared to have possessed toxic properties, instantly beginning to corrode Mummy and Scarecrow's bodies upon contact.

Adam had no choice but to invoke Nun to unleash her Fountain of Contamination in retaliation, clearing out a safe zone around himself, but also exposing him to his enemies.

Another electromagnetic cannon blast arrived, and even though he was already prepared, conjuring up over 100 defensive barriers with his runed bandages, he was still unable to withstand the blast, so he could only instruct Scarecrow to shield him, and a hole was blasted straight through its body, further compounding its injuries.

Adam was beginning to grow very frustrated, and he was just about to invoke Angel when he suddenly noticed a black line rising up from the distant horizon, immediately followed by a burst of loud rumbling.

Focusing his gaze in that direction, he discovered that there were tens of thousands of monstrous creatures of all descriptions rumbling toward him alongside thousands of armored tanks, mechas, helicopters, anomalies, and game characters to form an incredibly formidable army.

Adam was shocked beyond belief upon seeing this. He had never witnessed anything so formidable in any of his past psychic battles.

Inside the Metaverse, one of the board members of the Gaia Organization was chortling with glee.

"Who still goes around trying to play the hero on their own in this day and age? Show him the power of our organization!"

All of the people in the hall were expert gamers, and they were working with the adapters recruited by the organization to create a psychic army that was far too formidable for anyone to overcome on their own.

Madam Tree's brows furrowed ever so slightly, but she didn't say anything.

At this point, Adam was about to be completely surrounded, and that would've spelled certain death. His opponent's had already gained the absolute upper hand, and it seemed that he had no choice but to fight to the death. Right at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Give them the key."
