Chapter 332: Seduction
"What other reason could there be? Clearly, her mother was very good to her, or she perceives her mother as someone who treated her very well and could provide her with a sense of security. Don't think that nutjobs like us don't have any emotions. I'm really good to you, aren't I?"
While Mole was speaking to Adam, Armadillo also arrived on the scene from another direction, following which he immediately raised the same question as Adam.
"Why is there a psychic guardian here?"
"Cut the chit-chat! Let's kill them first!"
"You're right, let's not waste any more time. We're here to hunt anomalies, not conduct an investigation."
While Adam was speaking, the angel had already flown over to everyone, and Adam extended an arm to block the angel's slashing sword.
The golden holy sword sliced around a meter deep into his arm, but thankfully, the diameter of his arm exceeded a meter in this form.
After blocking the attack, he sent the angel flying with a punch.
Immediately thereafter, Shae sprang up into the air, sinking the fangs of her heads into the angel's neck. At the same time, Mole also released a series of lightning shackles to restrict the angel.
However, the angel was extremely powerful, and it was able to force back Shae with an eruption of golden holy light, then severed all of the shackles with a slash of its sword.
"All of you go after the anomaly, and leave the angel to me. As long as the anomaly dies, the angel will also die."
If the host were to perish, then the psychic guardian would naturally also meet its demise.
Following that initial clash, Adam had determined that the angel possessed extremely formidable offensive prowess, almost slicing off one of his arms with just a single slash.
Given its incredible offensive prowess, if any of his companions were to be struck by one of its attacks, they would've most definitely at least sustained grievous injuries, if not killed on the spot. Thankfully, this was the perfect job for Sludge. Even if he couldn't defeat the angel, he could certainly keep it preoccupied.
After establishing a strategy, Adam pounced at the angel before wrapping its entire body in a tight embrace. The angel was constantly lashing out with its sword in retaliation, and before long, around a dozen holes had been stabbed into Adam's body.
However, its attack ultimately proved to be futile. Adam's body possessed sufficient mass to contain the attacks, and thanks to Sludge's regenerative abilities, he was able to quickly recover from any injuries that were inflicted upon him. While holding tightly onto the angel, Adam invoked Clown and Nun to assist the others in their battle against the anomaly.
Unfortunately, he couldn't invoke Distortion here as it was simply too unpredictable in a setting like this. There was no telling who Distortion would target in this situation, and it was very likely that it would hinder the team, rather than be an asset.
While Adam was holding onto the angel, an intense battle against the anomaly was also unfolding.
The woman's anomaly was presented in the form of an archetypal ogre, with a thickset body, heavy breasts, and a massive head with a cavernous mouth.
It was clear just from its physical appearance that it was a tank with immense offensive prowess.
Mole had almost fallen to his demise as soon as the battle began.
He rushed onto the top of the anomaly's head like a bolt of lightning, and right when he was about to attack the anomaly's eyes, it suddenly let loose an extremely seductive voice, one that struck even Adam with a sense of captivation despite the fact that he was so far away.
Mole was far closer to the anomaly than Adam was, so he was naturally even more heavily affected, and he was instantly rooted to the spot as his eyes became filled with love and affection toward the hideous ogre.
However, the feeling was not mutual, and the ogre grabbed onto him before placing him into its mouth, almost chewing him to bits with its sharp teeth.
Thankfully, Shae arrived on the scene right in the nick of time, leaping onto the ogre's neck before forcing its jaws open with her hands so that it couldn't chomp down on Mole any further.
"Wake up!"
Shae's urgent voice finally snapped Mole back to his senses, and he was extremely alarmed as he hurriedly fled in retreat. At this point, gruesome wounds had already been inflicted onto his abdomen, and his internal organs were visible through those wounds.
"What the hell just happened?"
"You were seduced just now."
"By that ugly thing?" Mole was in complete disbelief. "That's impossible! If I was seduced, then why were you unaffected? Your technomantic resistance can't be all that high!"
"Because she's a woman." As a distant observer, Adam was able to see the entire situation, thereby allowing him to gauge what had just happened. "All of us were affected, but Shae and Nun were fine. I'm assuming that in the real world, this woman often eats her husbands or her lovers by seducing them. As a result, that ability of her psychic body is only effective on male beings."
"Anomalies have genders?"
"It appears so. For example, Nun is certainly more feminine than masculine, wouldn't you agree?"
"I guess."
Mole could accept this theory proposed by Adam, and after that close call, he didn't dare to get close to the anomaly any more, choosing to attack it from afar with his lightning attacks instead. n0velusb.c0m
However, the effectiveness of those attacks was quite limited.
The anomaly was like a massive mountain of flesh with superb defensive capabilities, and Mole's technomantic attacks were rather mediocre in their destructive power to begin with. Hence, he wasn't able to contribute much to the battle at all.
Similarly, Armadillo was also wary of falling prey to the ogre's seduction ability, so he was fighting in a rather cautious manner as well, and they weren't able to make much progress against the anomaly.
In terms of overall power, this was approximately a level five anomaly, and at this rate, it was going to take a very long time to kill it.
"Don't waste time, Boss. You've been injured, so get out here." As Adam was speaking, he was decapitated by the angel's sword, but he then transformed into a mass of sludge that ensnared the angel's body from all directions. "After you get out of here, get Rabbit to replace you. She's a woman, so she's immune to the anomaly's seduction ability, and she's stronger offensively, so she'll definitely be more useful in this battle."
"I knew you were a smart guy, Adam! You're almost as smart as I am!" Mole praised with a hand clasped over his wounded abdomen, then opened up a psychic passageway to leave the psychic world.
From there, it was a waiting game.
A few minutes passed by, and neither side was able to defeat the other, with the situation reaching an impasse.
Seven or eight minutes later, Rabbit finally arrived.
"You guys just can't do anything without me, huh?"
After arriving on the scene, Rabbit immediately adopted her giant form, gathering soul power on her hands before slamming her fists down onto the anomaly's head, sending it tumbling to the ground.
"I wanted to take a rest, but it looks like I have to do everything," Rabbit continued in a braggadocious manner.
After the anomaly was knocked to the ground, a vortex of sand emerged beneath it, and Armadillo's arms extended out of the sandy vortex to hold down the anomaly.
Shae certainly wasn't going to pass up such a fantastic opportunity, pouncing onto the anomaly before sinking the fangs of its largest head into its neck. With the head's immense bite force, she was able to tear off a large chunk of flesh from the anomaly's body, and black blood came gushing out of the wound.
Shae quickly went in for a second bite, and another huge chunk of flesh was torn away.
In the meantime, Rabbit was accumulating soul power onto her hands off to the side, and upon accumulating so much power that she was unable to control it any longer, she thrust her hands forward, pushing all of the soul power into the anomaly's wounds.
The anomaly's entire body instantly began to swell up rapidly like a balloon.
