Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 115: Battle Between Anomalies

With the commencement of the battle, a pair of terrifying figures, each of which was around three meters tall, appeared in the dimly lit warehouse.

The warehouse was very large, and there were a series of containers and wooden totes littered throughout. There were old lightbulbs from a century ago on the ceiling of the warehouse, providing some dim light.

The two anomalies had appeared in different corners of the warehouse, and as soon as they did, they immediately began to search for prey, spurred on by their killing instincts.

Of course, when it came to scouting, the Thousand-eyed Anomaly held the upper head.

It possessed 1,000 eyes and countless sensory organs, and it immediately sensed that something wasn't quite right as soon as it appeared in the warehouse. A series of tiny feelers emerged from its body, and it seemed to be able to taste the danger in the air. Immediately thereafter, all 1,000 of its eyes sprang open, illuminating the dimly lit warehouse with dazzling radiance.

All of a sudden, the old lightbulbs overhead began to emit the same dazzling white light, instantly basking the entire warehouse in a deathly white glow that enveloped the Skinless Anomaly's entire body as well.

.

"There you are... I see you... You're a scary fella..."

As soon as the Thousand-eyed Anomaly tracked down its target, it immediately began to murmur to itself. Its demonic murmuring was extremely harrowing to listen to, but Adam knew that this tendency arose from the condition of its host.

Not only had the host of the Thousand-eyed Anomaly been stripped of his eyesight, he had been deprived of his ability to speak as well. The more a person lacked something, the harder they would strive to find that thing, so it only made sense that the Thousand-eyed Anomaly was such a serial chatterbox.

"Indeed, you really are a scary fella... Let me see what you have..."

As the Thousand-eyed Anomaly continued to murmur to itself, a symbol of an eye suddenly appeared on the Skinned Anomaly's back. In the instant that the symbol appeared, the Skinned Anomaly was immediately struck by a sense of intense discomfort. Smoke began to rise up from its entire body as if it had been set alight, and it suddenly began to throw up violently.

However, in contrast with the frail sacrificial subject, the Skinned Anomaly only threw up some type of green fluid before letting loose a loud shriek and vanishing on the spot, scouring through the warehouse with its incredible speed.

As it sped through the warehouse, one tote after another was knocked over. The warehouse was quite large, but it completed an exhaustive search very quickly, and it didn't take long for it to track down its opponent.

The two anomalies met, and neither one of them backed down.

They were the embodiment of negative emotions, and they were filled with an intense innate desire to kill.

"Let me take a good look at you..."

The Thousand-eyed Anomaly's eyes suddenly widened at the sight of the Skinned Anomaly, and it attempted to use the same attack on its opponent once again, but in the instant that it did so, the Skinned Anomaly abruptly vanished on the spot.

In the next instant, its arm had already been plunged into the Thousand-eyed Anomaly's body, and its speed was downright mind-boggling.

The Skinned Anomaly's arm had pierced through the Thousand-eyed Anomaly's largest eye, inflicting severe injuries upon it, but at the same time, it also gave the Thousand-eyed Anomaly an opportunity to retaliate.

A strange beam began to shoot out of all of the eyes on its body, and due to how close the two anomalies were, it was impossible for the Skinless Anomaly to evade the attack.

The green beams struck the Skinless Anomaly, instantly petrifying a part of its body. Its skinless body gradually became as hard as rock, then began to crack and split open.

That's a very useful ability!?Adam thought to himself as an intrigued look appeared in his eyes.?If I had an ability like that, my powers would be significantly enhanced.

After petrifying the Skinless Anomaly, the Thousand-eyed Anomaly's body began to transform. Its feelers converged to form a strange trumpet shape, following which it released a soundwave attack in the form of a sharp screech, completely shattering the Skinned Anomaly's petrified body.

A burst of raucous cheers rang out from the spectator stands as the Skinned Anomaly's body crumbled into countless pieces.

Many of the spectators who had placed their bets on the Thousand-eyed Anomaly were cheering loudly, but there were also many spectators who were disappointed by how quickly the long-anticipated match had ended.

"I shouldn't have listened to you!" Hailey slammed a fist down onto her own leg, frustrated by her ill-advised bet on the Skinned Anomaly. "I was originally going to place my bet on the Thousand-eyed Anomaly."

"Anomalies of the same caliber shouldn't be able to kill one another so quickly..."

At this point, Adam was already an expert in anomalies. In fact, when it came to his understanding of anomalies, perhaps he was superior in this regard even to top-tier adapters like Oni-faced Dragon.

All anomalies had different standout traits. Some were fast, some were strong, some were extremely difficult to kill, some possessed unpredictable abilities...

However, regardless of what an anomaly's forte was, after reaching a certain level, all anomalies had certain trump cards up their sleeves, and that was why anomalies were superior to other types of invoked entities.

Nun could possess objects and living beings...

Clown could manifest clones...

Mummy possessed incredible physical resistance...

Vampire could replenish itself by sucking the blood of others...

Scarecrow was an all-round powerhouse...

Even Hellhound, whose self-preservation abilities were the most lackluster out of all of Adam's anomalies, possessed two heads that essentially gave it an extra life, and its Explosive Fireballs could produce explosions that stalled the enemy to allow it to escape.

If the Skinned Anomaly were a one-trick pony with nothing more than speed up its sleeve, then that would be a severe letdown.

Sure enough, right as Adam was wondering how the Skinned Anomaly was going to get itself out of this predicament, a change began to take place in the projected image.

At this point, the Skinned Anomaly's petrified body had already been reduced to a pile of "rocks".

Right as everyone thought that it was already dead, those "rocks" began to glow with red light, and their material began to slowly change. Anomalic power quickly began to seep into the rocks, transforming it back into soft and supple flesh.

The pile of flesh then began to squirm in an attempt to reassemble itself.

"That fight's not over yet!"

Even the spectators could see what was happening, so the Thousand-eyed Anomaly naturally wasn't oblivious to this turn of events.

It immediately released those petrifying beams out of its eyes again to attack the pile of flesh. However, this time, the effect was very lackluster. A small part of the pile of flesh was petrified once again, but most of the Skinned Anomaly's body was still able to complete its reassembly.

Is it able to develop a certain degree of immunity to repeat attacks?

Adam was watching the unfolding scene with an intense, unblinking gaze, and at this point, the reassembly of the Skinned Anomaly's body was already complete.

Due to the fact that it had lost a part of its body, the Skinned Anomaly's stature was greatly diminished, but its brutality and killing instincts hadn't waned in the slightest. In the face of the opponent that had just made its body crumble into pieces, it immediately began to put its speed advantage to good use.

All of a sudden, the Skinned Anomaly vanished on the spot amid a flash of red light, transforming into a red blur that was impossible to track with the naked eye.

The red blur flashed rapidly through the air, and with each pass, a part of the Thousand-eyed Anomaly's body was torn away.

When it came to close-quarters combat, the Thousand-eyed Anomaly was completely powerless to resist.

It didn't take long before the Thousand-eyed Anomaly was reduced to extremely terrible condition, but right at this moment, dazzling white light erupted from its body like a flash grenade, plunging the entire stadium into complete chaos.

Many of the spectators were temporarily blinded by this scintillating eruption of light.
