Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 216: The Final Battle

In the psychic world, Rattlesnake's role was to gather information and alert the team to any potential danger, while in the rain world, she seemed to be the team's brain.

"Their psychic bodies bore a very strong resemblance to certain animals, and that's a very common trait among psychic mutants. On top of that, they've displayed terrible decision-making skills. Admittedly, they are extremely powerful, but not so powerful that they can just turn everyone against them and get away with it. At the time of their arrival in the final zone, the likes of Eyeless, Dead Wood, and Oni no Miko still weren't around yet.

Everyone was waiting for the biggest players to arrive before making a move, and the fact that they've done the complete opposite of that indicates that they're definitely not very bright. It's a pity that I haven't run into them before this, so I don't know what type of psychic mutant they are. Otherwise, we would've been able to develop effective countermeasures against them."

"It seemed to me like Lean Mean Killing Machine was familiar with them."

Anaconda was the last one to join the group. In the real world, she was a woman with a very well-developed physique. However, she seemed to be in the worst condition out of everyone on the team, and it was clear that she had sustained severe psychic damage after shielding Medusa from that life-threatening attack earlier.

"In any case, we all managed to survive, and we made a decent haul." Medusa stroked Anaconda's hair with a grateful expression. "Thank you."

"What are friends for?"

Anaconda took a step back to lean against a machine that was connected to one of the battle royale participants as she spoke. This was an artificial adapter with all types of machines plugged into his body to keep him alive, and it just so happened that as soon as Anaconda leaned against one of the machines, the man immediately began to spasm violently before quickly meeting his demise.

.

It seemed that yet another battle royale participant had bitten the dust.

"I wonder how many people are going to survive to the end."

"That depends on how many exit cards the director placed into the game. Aside from the champions, only those with exit cards will be able to survive. What a cruel, cruel game this is..."

While Medusa was speaking with her teammates, a nearby door was suddenly opened, and the host emerged through it alongside several stadium employees.

They first congratulated Medusa's team for surviving the battle royale and securing a decent haul of points cards and other valuable resources, then requested them to leave the area.

"Please go and wait in the lobby. The battle royale is still ongoing, so let's not interrupt the spectators' viewing experience. I'll bring you back out here for the award ceremony at the end."

"Sure, no problem."

Even though the host was only a normal person, the fact that he had been given this job meant that he was a representative of the director, so everyone had to afford him a degree of respect, including Medusa.

"By the way, can I ask how many exit cards were placed into the map in total?"

She was very curious about which one of Eyeless, Dead Wood, Oni ni Miko, Ikkaku, and the psychic mutant trio's teams were going to be able to return alive.

"My apologies, but I'm afraid that's confidential information."

"Really? Isn't that readily available knowledge to all of the spectators? Can't they switch perspectives to watch whoever they like?"

"That's true, but the spectators can only see who's obtained the exit cards, not where all of the exit cards are located. Some of the exit cards are hidden in very obscure locations and still haven't been found, so I can't tell you how many there are in total."

"Alright, in that case, how many exit cards have been found thus far?"

"Three."

"Three, including mine?"

"That's right."

Medusa turned back to glance at her teammates with a hint of lingering fear in her eyes upon hearing this.

The fact that only three exit cards had been found thus far meant that aside from Medusa's team and the three other members of Eyeless's team, all of whom had already exited the game, only one other exit card had been found.

……

Meanwhile, the battle royale was still progressing.

Following Medusa's departure, the three psychic mutants continued their rampage, while all of the other combatants were also putting up resistance.

The three psychic mutants possessed powers that would’ve ranked them near the top of the S tier, so they were able to take on all of the other combatants and hold their own.

Thankfully for Adam and his team, the promise that the three psychic mutants had made to Adam earlier ensured that they were safe for now.

Not were they not being attacked by the three psychic mutants, they were actively helping the trio attack others.

This is a great opportunity to gather more cards!

Hook was concealing himself within the crowd, and with each combatant that was killed, he would appear accurately beside their body and search them for cards.

Meanwhile, King Arthur and Diana were attacking all of the combatants who were wounded by the three psychic mutants in order to finish them off.

Each participant that perished would whittle down the competition that they had to deal with and also provide them with more cards.

This was the nature of the battle royale. At this point in the game, virtually everyone was an enemy.

King Arthur was aware of this, as were Adam and Nie Yiyi. However, right as they were about to enter the fray, the green barrier in the distance began to rapidly close in, and as the safe zone shrank down further, Adam knew that he couldn't afford to get involved as Oni no Miko and the others were going to be arriving soon.

As the green barrier slowly devoured everything outside of the basin, all of the battles taking place outside were forced to come to a conclusion, and all of the survivors would have to gather in the basin soon.

With the likes of Oni no Miko and Eyeless fast approaching, it would be extremely unwise for Adam to entangle himself in other battles.

In preparation for the imminent final battle, Adam invoked Clown and immediately fused with it.

Mummy had already perished, and he didn't want any more of his anomalies to die.

With so many formidable opponents approaching, he had to adopt his most powerful form.

After fusing with Clown, Adam immediately entered a deranged state. Countless maddening thoughts were assaulting his mind, striking him with the overpowering urge to kill and destroy.

However, he forcibly suppressed these urges as he concealed himself within the darkness.

Nie Yiyi, Hook, and King Arthur were also aware of the situation that they were in.

With the most powerful participants in this battle royale about to arrive, it was going to be a tall order just to keep themselves alive, so they immediately stopped scavenging for cards as they waited for the storm to strike.

The green barrier continued to get closer and closer, and finally, it devoured all of the mountains around the basin.

At this point, the sky had already turned pitch-black, and the roars of artificial anomalies felt closer than ever.

With the final battle about to arrive, even the trio of psychic mutants could sense the tension in the air. They were extremely childish, and there was no clear logic governing their actions, but they still had their battle instincts, and those instincts were telling them that something was wrong.

"Why does it suddenly feel so tense around here?"

"While I was burrowing through underground on the way here, I sensed extremely powerful psychic fluctuation above me, so there must be some very strong adapters outside."

"Do we keep going then?"

"Why not? Let's keep killing until those guys get here."

"I think some of them are already here."

While the three psychic mutants were speaking with one another, several figures jumped down into the basin from the surrounding mountains.

The first ones to arrive were Oni no Miko's team. At this point, the four of them had already recovered from their injuries, and they hadn't expended much psychic power, either, so they were in prime condition.

Not long after they arrived in the basin, a group of people who were looking rather bedraggled and disheveled also tumbled down while fighting among themselves.

These people were engaged in a completely chaotic melee, and the one who stood out the most among them was none other than Eyeless. After leaping off the edge of the cliff, he continued to attack the people around him even while he was still airborne. His attacks were unleashed without any rhyme or reason.

One moment, he was attacking Dead Wood, the next instant, he was attacking Ikkaku. Right before he landed on the ground, he unleashed an almighty horizontal slash that instantly sliced three or four combatants around him in half.

"Holy shit, that guy's even crazier than we are!"

The trio of psychic mutants immediately stopped what they were doing to stare intently at Eyeless.
