Chapter 180: Terrain Advantage
"That anomaly's not gonna be able to last much longer!" n0veLUSb.C0M
"This team is definitely more powerful than the previous one, but we'll still crush them easily as soon as we get involved."
The first one to reveal himself was the Black Technomancer. With a wave of his staff, he immobilized King Arthur and his dragon steed, then cast a string of consecutive debilitating cyberhexes onto Adam.
Under the effects of the cyberhexes, Adam was sapped of his strength, and as a result, the artificial anomaly was able to struggle free before Nie Yiyi could finish charging up the attack.
The second member of the opposing team to appear was Goblin.
He had been able to climb all the way to the A tier by himself, so he definitely had more tricks up his sleeve than just burying landmines. After all, some of the match venues were very small, so there was no time for him to set up any landmines.
As soon as Goblin emerged, green light began to glow from his body, and many strange parts littered around him began to assemble themselves onto his body, quickly transforming him into a massive log splitter.
The log splitter had a series cannon on its back and a pair of sawblades, one circular and one long, both of which were producing a deafening screeching noise.
As soon as Goblin appeared, it turned all of the cannons on its back to face Nie Yiyi before firing them all at once.
"I'm being attacked!"
Adam instantly turned around upon hearing this, shielding Nie Yiyi behind him just in time before the cannon blasts arrived. He threw his arms over his head, and a string of loud explosions rang out as he withstood all of the oncoming projectiles.
However, after the dust settled, Adam discovered that he wasn't being attacked by the log splitter. Instead, he heard an agonized roar from King Arthur's dragon steed.
He immediately turned to discover that the long saw of the log splitter had already plunged into the dragon's abdomen, and as the saw churned, huge volumes of blood intermingled with pieces of flesh came gushing out of the dragon's body.
Goblin had distracted Adam with his first round of attacks, but his true target was actually King Arthur's dragon steed.
The dragon immediately tried to retaliate in an agonized rage, but the psychic puppeteer and the black technomancer instantly made their presence felt, using their combined powers to temporarily rob King Arthur and his dragon steed of the ability to retaliate.
At this point in the battle, Adam had identified that the black technomancer was the most troublesome of the four opponents.
The entire supply point was encompassed within his array, so as long as they were inside this area, they had to deal with constant cyberhexes from the black technomancer. Essentially, this was his domain, and inside this domain, his individual combat prowess was not inferior to that of an S tier combatant.
After setting up all of those landmines, Goblin was also not inferior to the average S tier combatant. Additionally, the enhanced artificial anomaly possessed S tier combat prowess as well, which meant that they were essentially facing a team of at least three S tier combatants.
"King Arthur, find a way to get out of here!"
As a seasoned veteran on the battlefield, King Arthur immediately understood Adam's intentions.
In this supply point, they were at a severe disadvantage. However, if they could leave this area and free themselves from the array and the landmines, then Black Technomancer and Goblin would instantly revert back to A tier combatants, and the tide of the battle would be completely turned.
All of a sudden, King Arthur let loose a loud roar, and golden radiance erupted from his body to dispel the cyberhexes cast onto him, following which he severed the technomantic tentacles around him with his sword.
After that, he sprang up into the air to attack Goblin with his sword.
Even though Goblin was in his log splitter form, there was no way that he would be a match for King Arthur in a direct confrontation, so he hurriedly retreated and abandoned his assault against the dragon.
After freeing his dragon steed, King Arthur immediately jumped back onto its back, then instructed it to fly out of the supply point.
"We can't let them get away!"
Goblin bent over to fire his cannons up at the sky, while the dragon released a pillar of flames out of its mouth to ward off the cannon blasts.
Right at this moment, black light suddenly began to emerge from the ground, and countless chains that looked as if they had been formed by mist flew out to lock down the entire area.
"You're not getting out of my array that easily!"
As the Black Technomancer uttered a string of cybercode, more and more chains began to erupt out of the ground while also releasing immense suction force.
King Arthur's dragon steed was only capable of flying over short distances, so its flight abilities were far from stellar, and it was instantly stopped in its tracks by the suction force released by the chains. After struggling for a while, it was ultimately forced to descend back down onto the ground.
"Didn't you say this team was supposed to be really strong, Goblin? They're nothing special at all!"
"This is what we've been telling you! You're always too cautious."
"Which one should we kill first? Let's start off with the weakest one. I recall there was a steam robot among them, wasn't there? Where's he hiding?"
"No matter where he is, there's no way he'll be able to get out of the array, so let's kill all of his companions first."
Black Technomancer was extremely cocky, and with the array enhancing his powers, he was able to rain down attacks upon King Arthur in a relentless barrage.
Initially, King Arthur was still able to hold his own, and he was even able to gain the upper hand with the help of his dragon steed, but the goblin log splitter entering the fray and the disruption from the psychic puppeteer, the two of them were constantly sustaining more and more injuries.
However, that wasn't even the most infuriating part. What was most frustrating to King Arthur was that they could only remain in one spot, thereby severely limiting their ability to dodge attacks. As soon as they tried to move, they would immediately step on goblin landmines. As a result, the situation was quickly turning against their favor.
On the other side, Adam was also struggling immensely.
The artificial anomaly had been possessed by Wraith, thereby granting it intelligence and heightened powers. After an extensive struggle, Adam finally kept it at bay long enough for Nie Yiyi to completely charge up her attack, but as she unleashed the attack, the anomaly's body took on an insubstantial, wraith-like form, allowing it to dodge the lethal blow before retaliating to injure Nie Yiyi instead.
At this point, it became clear that he could no longer turn the tables without Clown's help.
Meanwhile, King Arthur was also growing more and more desperate as he roared, "What are you still waiting for?"
"Fine, you can have your wish! Come!"
Adam split up from Mummy before beckoning to Clown.
Clown had already been waiting for this for quite some time, and it immediately cackled as it leaped up into the air, vanishing on the spot. In the next instant, it had already fused as one with Adam, instilling his body with boundless power that was contaminated by a chaotic will.
While Adam had attained immense power, his mind was instantly muddled. He began to make strange sounds, and he felt as if he were drunk, with both his mind and his eyesight becoming rather hazy.
"I think I heard someone just say that we're nothing special, is that right?"
One moment, Clown was still standing near the artificial anomaly, but in the next instant, it had already appeared right above Black Techonmancer before plunging its dagger straight at the back of its target's neck.
As a technomancer, Black Technomancer's physical defenses were extremely lackluster, and he didn't dare to withstand such an attack.
However, he was too slow to react. Clown's abrupt sneak attack had caught him completely off guard, and he was only just barely able to dodge, but a massive gash was still sliced into his neck, causing him to bleed profusely.
Black Techmancer was greatly alarmed and incensed by this, and technomantic energy erupted out of its body in the form of a burst of black light as he attempted to blast Clown away, but as soon as the energy erupted out of his body, Clown vanished once again.
This time, it appeared directly above the goblin log splitter.
"It looks like someone really likes to play with bombs!"
Clown stuffed three grenades into the barrels of cannons on the goblin log splitter's back as it spoke.
