Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 213: The Three Smarty Pants

"Why are you going all the way over there when there's someone right here? You guys really need to smarten up and get on my level!"

Mole directed his gaze toward Adam's team as he spoke, then immediately charged at them.

Electricity began to flash over Mole's body as he ran, and he was moving extremely fast, displaying top-end speed that was comparable to Medusa's. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached Adam and his team, and the first target that he chose to attack was Nie Yiyi.

At this point, Nie Yiyi had already completely regained her sanity, but she had been rather quiet and subdued on the way here, still thoroughly embarrassed by how much of a fool she had made out of herself while under the influence of the monk trio.

Thus, she was eager to redeem herself, and she immediately drew her blades in preparation for battle.

By the time her blades were drawn, Mole had already arrived directly in front of her, and in the face of her attack, Mole raised his arms to create a net of electricity, which intercepted Nie Yiyi's blades. Immediately thereafter, the electricity was conducted through her blades to paralyze her entire body.

"Weak trash!" Mole scoffed as an enormous wave of electricity erupted out of his body, threatening to completely inundate Nie Yiyi.

Thankfully, King Arthur was able to stage a timely intervention, barreling into Nie Yiyi to knock her away while his entire body released golden radiance to withstand the attack.

He was only able to withstand the wave of electricity for two seconds before being sent flying back through the air, and his body was so numb that he was unable to return to his feet.

Diana hurriedly rushed over to protect him, opening her mouth to blast a scorching pillar of flames at the oncoming Mole.

Instead of using his extraordinary speed to dodge the pillar of fire, Mole thrust his palms forward to release a pillar of lightning to directly combat the surging flames.

The blue lightning and the red flames clashed with a loud crack, but it only took several seconds for the lightning to completely dominate the flames. The pillar of fire was quickly forced back by the opposing lightning, and in the end, Diana was struck by both the lightning and her own flames, resulting in a violent explosion that charred a large section of her scales black.

Adam was astonished by Mole's display of power. The fact that it was able to overwhelm King Arthur and Diana so quickly indicated that his powers had to have been roughly on par with Medusa's.

In fact, even Medusa would've struggled to achieve the same effect in such a short time. After all, most of her power stemmed from her petrification ability, while her other abilities weren't all that powerful.

However, due to the fact that Mole was a psychic mutant with rather lackluster intelligence, he was unable to fully maximize his powers. Under normal circumstances, after forcing an opponent onto the back foot, an adapter would choose to close in and press their advantage, but after dominating King Arthur and Diana, Mole suddenly turned his attention to Adam.

"Take this!"

Mole waved his arms through the air to send a blast of electricity hurtling through the air, instantly destroying a section of Adam's body.

However, he didn't retaliate or try to run away. Instead, he hurriedly yelled, "It's me, genius!"

"Hmm? Did you just call me a genius? And it sounds like you know me... Who are you?" Mole immediately stopped what he was doing upon having his intelligence praised, and he rushed over to Adam, leaving a trail of sparks and electricity in his wake, before carefully scrutinizing Adam. "I don't know who you are."

"It's me, that nun from before! You promised that you were going to kill me last if we all made it to the final zone!"

"Oh, you're that smart nun!" Mole immediately recalled who Adam was upon hearing this. "I did indeed make that promise. A man as smart as myself certainly wouldn't forget something like that, but why are you in a different form? Do you have some type of transformation ability?"

"You can say that. I have an ability that allows me to adopt all types of different forms."

Adam's body was squirming as he spoke, and the hole that was left behind by the blast of lightning quickly filled itself again.

"You're a bit more handsome in this form than your previous form. Just like I thought, all smart people are good-looking people," Mole said as he patted Adam's sludgy body in a friendly manner. "I did promise to kill you last, so I'll do just that!"

"That's good to hear. By the way, your friend over there seems to be in trouble. Are you not going to help him?"

Adam pointed in another direction, where Armadillo was attacking Medusa's team.

He was also an extremely powerful adapter, but he was only roughly on par with Medusa, and he fought without any strategy or intelligence, so he couldn't even beat Medusa in a one-on-one battle, let alone her entire team.

"You're right, I'll go help him out. I'll make sure to tell them to kill you last!"

"Good luck!"

Adam watched as Mole departed, while his teammates looked on with dazed expressions.

"You know him?"

"I met him earlier while going after the airdrops."

"How have we never heard of someone this powerful?"

"I didn't know he was this powerful, either."

Thinking back, there was still a hint of lingering fear in Adam's heart. If he had handled that initial encounter with the trio of psychic mutants any less amicably than he did, there was a very good chance that he would've been killed.

"All three of them are extremely powerful. I'd say they'd all rank in the top half of the S tier."

King Arthur was watching Rabbit as he spoke. At this point, Rabbit had already swelled drastically in stature, and his entire body was giving off a strange warped forcefield. He was taking on seven or eight other participants who had made it to the final zone at once and holding his own just fine.

Meanwhile, Armadillo had also grown to an enormous size, and yellow sand was swirling all around his entire body. With Mole also entering the fray, the two of them were able to dominate Medusa's entire team.

"Any one of them could match Medusa or Ikkaku in battle, so it's no exaggeration to call this a super team, but they seem to be a little too reckless. Why does it feel like they're trying to make as many enemies as possible?" Hook could tell that something wasn't quite right about them. "Could it be that they're... not very bright?"

"All three of them are psychic mutants, so they think and act in a way similar to Mice King. They're very vicious, but also very childish," Adam replied. "If you run into them, all you have to do is call them smart, and there's a good chance that they'll let you go."

"Seriously?"

"I'm being dead serious. It looks like Medusa hasn't got the memo yet..."

Sure enough, Medusa had no idea what the best way to speak to the psychic mutant trio was.

"Are these idiots crazy or stupid? There are still more people yet to come, why are they wasting their energy now?"

"The bitch called us stupid! Kill her!"

"Kill her!" Armadillo echoed in a furious voice as his body swelled even further in size, and he controlled all of the sand swirling around him to sweep directly toward Medusa.

Under his control, the grains of sand became as sharp as blades, and after sweeping over Medusa, the yellow sand instantly turned red. The power imbued within the sand had managed to leech away much of Medusa's blood, instantly leaving her supple body shriveled and withered.

"What the hell is wrong with these two?"

A furious look appeared on Medusa's face as she glanced down at her own withered arm before immediately retaliating with her signature petrification attack, which instantly turned Armadillo into stone.
