Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 300: Three Top-tier Adapters

Diana had undergone a clear transformation.

Her body was larger than before, and her physical appearance had also changed slightly.

There was clearly something "divine" about Diana's current form, and her entire body was giving off faint radiance as she pounced at Hebi no Miko with unbridled fury.

"You came at just the right time! I'll kill both of you right here!"

Hebi no Miko continued to pummel Adam even as Diana came swooping down from above, and at the same time, she uttered a string of cybercode, conjuring up technomantic attacks of the wind, fire, and poison attributes before Diana could descend onto the scene.

A layer of dark clouds appeared in the sky, and ferocious gusts of wind swept through the entire street, carrying a toxic mist.

The bodies of all of the living beings in the path of the toxic wind instantly began to rot away, and those who breathed in the toxic mist were instantly killed on the spot.

At the moment, everyone was situated on a street in Chen Yanyan's memory. It was a street in Sandrise City, and it was one of the secret locations where Chen Yanyan met up with representatives from the non-profit organizations that he dealt with.

Each area in Sandrise City had a population numbering in the millions, and this area was no exception. Hence, the population density in the city was very high, and thousands of people were instantly killed by these gusts of fierce wind.

At the same time, a storm of fire also began to rain down from the heavens, incinerating all of the people who were attempting to seek shelter in the surrounding buildings.

Diana was caught right at the center of the storm of fire and toxic mist, bearing the brunt of the technomantic attacks, but she remained largely unscathed as the layer of faint radiance continued to surge over her body.

All of a sudden, she sucked in a huge mouthful of fire and toxic mist, then blasted it directly at Hebi no Miko.

"You've also become a bit stronger, but did you think that was going to be enough?"

Hebi no Miko swept a hand through the air to conjure up a wall of wind, which resembled an enormous shield that kept out Diana's attack.

She could tell from Diana's physical appearance and her faintly shimmering scales that she had become significantly more powerful. In particular, her technomantic resistance had been significantly enhanced.

"Is your visualization partner Níeh?ggr? As expected of the legendary black dragon capable of withstanding even Odin's divine powers. You've developed some decent technomantic resistance, but you're still too weak!"

Hebi no Miko sprang up into the air as she spoke, then threw a punch into Diana's head before grabbing onto one of her claws and spinning her around like a windmill, slamming her viciously into the ground.

It was a very strange sight to see a normal-sized human twirling a massive dragon around like a ragdoll. It was almost like seeing an ant swinging a human around at will, and it simply defied the laws of physics.

However, this was how things were like in the psychic world. Hebi no Miko was capable of flying, and she was able to stabilize herself in mid-air thanks to her flight abilities. As long as she possessed sufficient strength, she could pull off this physics-defying feat.

"Surely you didn't think that the two of you would be able to oppose me on your own!"

Hebi no Miko extended an arm forward as she spoke, and the entire arm rapidly swelled in size, elongating to over 100 meters in length in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, scales began to rapidly emerge over her arm, which was also becoming thicker and undergoing a drastic transformation.

In what seemed like no more than the blink of an eye, the arm had already transformed into a giant serpent that was pouncing at Diana with devastating force.

Just the head of the serpent alone was roughly comparable in size with Diana's entire body, and the serpent's body was several hundred meters in length. It was as if the serpent were a part of Yamata no Orochi's body, and as it hurtled toward Diana, it opened its cavernous mouth to reveal a pair of pillar-like venomous fangs.

Seeing as her technomantic attacks were very limited in their effectiveness against Diana, Hebi no Miko had returned to relying on her physical prowess.

Even though Diana had already begun visualization training, she had only been doing so for a very short time. No matter how compatible she was with Níeh?ggr, she was still only a complete novice in visualization, and there was no way that she would've been able to make sufficiently significant strides in such a short time to be able to oppose Hebi no Miko.

Even the most talented of prodigies required time to develop, and Diana was no exception to this.

In the face of the oncoming giant serpent, Diana attempted to retaliate and to take evasive measures, but neither course of action proved to be very effective. There was such an enormous power disparity between the two that she was simply powerless to do anything.

Right as the giant serpent's cavernous mouth was about to clamp down on her, some type of sticky substance that resembled melted wax suddenly began to appear in the serpent's oral cavity.

The sticky liquid was gushing out of the ground like a flood, quickly enveloping the entire head of the giant serpent to seal it in wax.

Immediately thereafter, the wax on the serpent's head stirred slightly, following which an impeccably groomed man appeared.

"What took you so long?" Adam complained as he instructed Sludge to struggle to its feet. "You're the one who set up this ambush, why did it take you so long to get here?"

"If I arrived too early, Hebi no Miko could've been startled into running away. The psychic boundaries in Chen Yanyan's psychic world are far too brittle. If Hebi no Miko wanted to leave, she could've done so at any moment, but now, I've already reinforced those psychic boundaries."

A thin membrane of wax appeared over the sky and the earth as he spoke, transforming this entire area into his domain.

"I've heard of you, Wax Figure. You may be my senior as an adapter, but you've always been held back in your development by your lackluster visualization. Are you going to try and oppose me as well?"

Hebi no Miko was making no effort to hide the disdain and malice in her eyes.

Wax Figure had played a pivotal role in World War III, and he possessed immense power to back up his resounding reputation, but his progress had been very slow in recent years.

Hebi no Miko had been born not long before World War III, and even though the two of them didn't belong to the same generation, both of them had heard of one another.

Having previously worked in Japan's Department of Intelligence, Hebi no Miko had seen footage of Wax Figure in action, and she was confident that she was a level above him.

"I'm definitely no match for you, but all I have to do is keep you occupied until Mechguard gets here."

"This is Area 8. All of you will die before Mechguard gets here!"

Hebi no Miko was beginning to run out of patience, and her deranged nature was showing through.

As a psychic mutant, patience was not her strong suit, and the fact that she was willing to speak with Wax Figure at all was already a sign that she was wary of his powers.

However, now that she could see that Wax Figure wasn't displaying any intention of backing down, she didn't want to waste any more time with words.

In contrast, Wax Figure was far more relaxed and patient, and he said in a calm voice, "That is indeed a possibility. It's going to take Mechguard a very long time to get here considering the area that we're in, and that's why I'm not the only one who came here this time."

Divine light flashed in the sky once again as Wax Figure was speaking, and a winged woman holding a bow in her hand rose up into the air from the edge of Wax Figure's domain.

The woman's body was glowing with divine light, and she bore a strong resemblance to the Greek Goddess of Hunting, Artemis. Adam had never seen her psychic body before, but he was very familiar with the woman's aura.

So this is what May's psychic body looks like...
