Chapter 405: The Angel's Weakness
After hearing Adam's call, Diana whipped its tail violently at the angel of death right as it was being struck by a ball of black light.
With her massive body and tremendous strength, she was able to strike the angel of death down from the heavens, following which Adam leaped up into the air, encircling his massive arm's around the angel's waist before throwing it into the Lamenting Wall.
"Let's go in as well!"
Horse Face wasn't going to be able to subdue the angel of death by itself, so Adam called out to Diana before jumping into the Lamenting Wall.
He was already very familiar with the world within the Lamenting Wall, and even though he had seen them many times, he still couldn't help but be moved by the sight of the despairing faces around him.
After entering the Lamenting Wall, Adam didn't dare to waste any time, immediately instructing Horse Face to unleash its most powerful attack upon the angel of death.
Horse Face waved its brush through the air, and all of the faces illuminated by the radiance of the nuclear explosion, ones that carried emotions like despair, fear, insanity, and acceptance, all of those faces turned to the angel of death in unison before letting loose the final scream of their lives.
Those screams were the final expressions of despair let loose by the countless people facing the hellish nuclear explosion, and their voices combined together to culminate in a strange sigh.
A wave of emotions instantly washed over the angel of death.
This emotional attack was one that had never failed, even against opponents far more powerful than Horse Face, but the angel of death turned out to be an exception.
After being struck by the attack, the angel of death was only dazed for a second before the scale in its hand began to counteract the attack.
A vast amount of pain was gathered on one end of the scale, while the angel of death raised its morning star mace.
"All pain in this world should be brought to an end. If life isn't full of joy, then it has no reason to exist."
The holy light glowing from the morning star mace became brighter and brighter, and as the mace was swung down from above, the entire Lamenting Wall was instantly destroyed.
Illuminated by the holy light, it was as if the tragic piece of artwork were an oil painting that had been thrown into a fire, and it quickly began to burn. Horse Face let loose an anguished howl, and it was almost killed in an instant.
Thankfully, right before it was struck by the waves of holy light, Shae severed the connection from the real world, thereby saving Horse Face's life.
"That was close!" Adam exclaimed as his eyes sprang open in the real world. "It would've been a terrible loss if Horse Face had died in there."
"There was no need to sever the connection, I was still fit to continue," Diana complained after opening her eyes.
"Give it a rest," Adam countered. "I saw what was happening to you in there. Your scales were splitting open from the angel's holy light, and you were a spent force anyway, whereas I have a feeling that the angel wasn't even using its full power. The damage that you were able to inflict upon it was virtually negligible, while you seem to be in much worse shape."
"Its holy light isn't much of a threat, but that scale that it was holding..."
Diana's voice trailed off there, and everyone knew that the scale had posed a major threat to her.
If she were to face the same attack again, there was no way that she would've survived.
That scale of death was an extremely rare law-type attack, and it was virtually impossible to defend oneself against.
If I can obtain that power, it'll be an extremely effective trump card against strong opponents.
Not only did the angel of death possess tremendous power, its abilities were just as formidable, and Adam was already envisioning what it would look like in his army of anomalies.
"If you want to beat it, then you have to overcome that scale first." Having witnessed the entire battle, Shae had a clear idea of what had to be done in order to defeat such an opponent. "Diana has outstanding defenses, and she should've been able to last longer in there, but she was quickly weakened by that scale. If she hadn't lost a part of her life energy, I'm sure her retaliation would've been more powerful."
Adam nodded in response with a contemplative expression.
Theoretically speaking, all anomalies and psychic bodies had weaknesses, or ways through which they could be countered.
If he could identify those weaknesses, then they would stand a far better chance next time.
For the likes of Oni no Hanzou and Clown, who relied heavily on their clones, their weakness was their true body.
For the likes of Diamond and Sludge, terrain-type abilities were a perfect counter.
Invocators like Oni no Miko were weak in close quarters combat.
So what was the weakness of that scale?
All of a sudden, a thought occurred to Adam, and he mused, "One one side of the scale is death, while life is on the other side, but in reality, during my two battles against the angel of death, I noticed that the first things that impact the balance of the scale are pain and happiness, which means that there's a very good chance that there's a direct correlation between the power of the scale and the pain experienced by its target.
“Realistic logic has to be followed in the manifestation of psychic bodies, and the same applies to anomalies as well. In the real world, Noah thinks of himself as an agent of justice. He killed all those old people to help them escape their pain and suffering. At the very least, that's what he claims. That means that in reality, he most likely hasn't killed any of the old people who appeared to have been quite happy."
With that in mind, Adam crouched down and slapped Noah awake, then asked, "Hey, out of all of the old people that you've killed, were there any who appeared to have been quite content with their lives?"
"No!" Noah replied in a vehement manner. "Let me repeat myself again: I'm not a serial killer, I'm just someone who helps put others out of their misery! I told the judge that, and I told you the same thing..."
Slap!
Adam knocked him out with another slap.
"You hear that? He hasn't killed anyone who's been content with their lives."
"So you're saying that the scale may not be very effective on happy people?" Shae asked. "But how are you supposed to determine how happy a psychic body is?"
"One's psychic body is the most apparent representation of one's psychic properties. In fact, many psychic bodies have physical features that reveal one's psychic properties. What we have to do is find an ally that will be immune to the most powerful ability of that angel of death, while also being sufficiently powerful to take it down."
"Where are we supposed to find anyone like that? No such person exists!" Shae exclaimed.
"We're pretty happy all the time," Mole interjected. "We get to play with animals every day, but we're too noob to be able to do anything."
"It's true," Armadillo chimed in with a forlorn shake of his head. "It feels really bad that we're unable to help Adam."
"Adam's been progressing far too quickly. During that battle just now, we couldn't do anything aside from watch," Rabbit sighed. "I think we should just leave. We still have quite a bit of the prize money from Shadow City left, so let's return to our original plan and buy an island."
"We'll leave after Adam gets elected as mayor."
"There's no guarantee that I'll be elected, so let's not count our chickens before they hatch," Adam said as he took a glance at the time. "I have something to do tonight, so I'll need to go prepare."
"Where are you going?"
"That's a secret."
