Chapter 304: Cornered Beast
She began to slither toward the edge of Wax Figure's domain, and it didn't seem as if she were moving very quickly, but due to her enormous stature, each body length that she moved was the equivalent of several hundred meters.
She still couldn't compare with Artemis in terms of absolute speed, but that certainly didn't mean that she was slow.
"Stop her! She's trying to get away! We can't let her get out of this sealed area! If she managed to break out of my domain, she'll be able to instantly shatter Chen Yanyan's psychic boundaries and return to the real world!"
Wax Figure's voice had rung out in all directions, and countless giant bident-wielding Hades wax figures had suddenly appeared in the sky.
The wax figures aimed their bidents at Yamata no Orochi before releasing pillars of green infernal light to obstruct her.
At the same time, Artemis was also attacking from afar in the form of her fourth arrow, which was a red arrow.
As soon as the arrow was fired, it immediately displayed far superior speed compared with her other three types of arrows. It sped through the air as a red line, striking Yamata on Orochi in the eye before it even had a chance to react.
Even though the arrow was able to pierce through Yamata no Orochi's eyeball, it was so comparatively tiny that it wasn't able to inflict any meaningful damage.
However, immediately thereafter, Artemis began to whistle, and the red line flew chaotically back and forth throughout Yamata no Orochi's enormous eye.
As a result, the interior of the eyeball instantly sustained severe damage, and the eye was blinded as the head that it belonged to let loose an agonized howl.
However, the red arrow had no plans to spare Yamata no Orochi, and it sped toward another one of its eyes while the serpent was being impeded by Hades.
It didn't take long before four of Yamata no Orochi's eyes were destroyed, leaving two of its heads completely blinded.
To Adam's surprise, he discovered that Yamata no Orochi's eight heads didn't seem to share a field of view. This was evidenced by the fact that the two blind heads were swinging around like headless chickens, having completely lost all sense of direction.
"If I have to die here, then I'll take you down with me!"
In this dire situation, Hebi no Miko finally began to retaliate again.
Dense mist poured out of her enormous body as she tapped deep into her psychic power reserves, and the forbidden techniques that had already ceased instantly became even more fearsome than before.
The air temperature began to rise sharply once again, and the sparse bolts of lightning in the sky became as dense as a sea of electricity. n0velusb.c0m
At the same time, as this dense mist was pouring out of Yamata no Orochi's body, it began to shrink in size.
Its enormous body was becoming thinner and frailer by the second, and it was burning through its life force to unleash a third forbidden technique, Undead Destruction.
According to the mythology surrounding Yamata no Orochi, it was a creature that had brought countless disasters upon the world.
Prior to its arrival, tsunamis, earthquakes, droughts, frost... These natural disasters were constantly ravaging the world, leaving humanity on the brink of destruction.
Undead Destruction was its final forbidden technique.
By the time it descended upon the world, the human race was already close to extinction, so there were countless deceased souls in the world, and they were not allowed to rest. Instead, they were destined to be destroyed as well.
Not only was Yamata no Orochi capable of destroying entire continents and taking the lives of physical beings, it could even destroy souls.
As the world-destroyer, it was a true serpent of annihilation.
As soon as Undead Destruction was unleashed, countless shadows appeared all over the battlefield, and these shadows dragged Hades's undead army into destruction, causing the undead warriors to disintegrate into nothingness.
Hades was the ruler of the underworld, but here, even the undead weren't allowed to exist. Yamata no Orochi was the pure embodiment of destruction, and nothing existed in its presence.
After the undead army was destroyed, Hade's abilities were also impacted.
The destructive power wreaked havoc upon his body, making him unable to maintain his current form.
At the same time, Artemis was also struggling. She was being targeted to begin with, and she was already having great trouble protecting herself from the sea of lightning around her. With this third forbidden technique thrown into the mix, she was in a very perilous situation.
Just a little longer...
By Adam's estimates, the Mechguard units should've already arrived long ago.
Even though there were many obstacles in Area 8 that would impede Mechguard units, they had to be close to tracking down Hebi no Miko.
Even if she had used a synapse transmission device to invade Chen Yanyan's psychic world from afar, the effective distance of such devices was very limited, generally no more than a few kilometers.
Given such a small search area, it stood to reason that she had to be close to being busted.
Hades and Artemis were trapped within the three forbidden techniques, and Adam was also having to deal with the destructive power from Undead Destruction.
Thankfully, Sludge had already fully recovered, and he wasn't Hebi no Miko's primary target, so not only was he able to ward off the effects of the forbidden techniques, he was even considering retaliation.
At this point, the ground had already melted into molten lava, but it wasn't a very deep layer of lava, and Sludge was able to wade through the molten substance at Adam's behest before rushing all the way up Yamata no Orochi's body and vigorously battering its heads.
Yamata no Orochi was so weak and frail from unleashing three forbidden techniques at once that it was unable to shake off Adam, and could only attack him with some lightning strikes and destructive power.
Thankfully, Sludge's defenses were sufficiently stellar for it to withstand the first round of attacks.
"If you have a death wish, then I'll kill you first!"
Countless bolts of lightning were converging in the sky, abandoning Artemis as they hurtled toward Adam instead.
Time was of the essence, and at this point, Hebi no Miko had a feeling that she wouldn't be getting out of this alive.
Wax Figure's combat prowess was quite mediocre compared with hers, but his abilities made him extremely annoying to deal with.
As for Artemis, her speed and self-regenerative abilities made her quite difficult to kill.
"Even if I have to die here, I'll take you down with me!"
Hebi no Miko mustered up all of her lightning as she spoke, then sent it crashing down directly upon Adam.
Even with Sludge's tremendous defenses, there was definitely no way that it would've been able to withstand such an attack.
In this dire situation, Diana swooped in to try and save the day, sinking her fangs into Yamata no Orochi's body to try and disrupt her attack, while Wax Figure also conjured up layers of waxy membranes to serve as obstacles.
However, their efforts proved to be completely futile, and the collective bolts of lightning crashed through all of the obstacles with unstoppable force, hurtling directly toward Adam.
An earth-shattering boom rang out as the lightning destroyed Sludge's upper body, and Adam's body was almost also instantly destroyed by the impact.
Following the lightning strike, his severely ravaged body was completely exposed to the sweltering heat, and he was going to be dead in a matter of seconds.
Thankfully, he was saved by a green arrow from Artemis.
However, that was the extent of what Artemis could do for him, yet right as Hebi no Miko was preparing to kill Adam at all costs, there was a twist in the tale.
Just like last time, Yamata no Orochi's body suddenly sustained severe, inexplicable damage. As a result, her psychic power seeped out of her body in the form of a huge volume of dense black mist, which permeated throughout the entire area.
Adam was ecstatic to see this, and at the same time, he lodged his own body deep into one of Sludge's legs.
"The Mechguard units have arrived! You're done for!"
