Chapter 97: Gravity
With Adam keeping the leech monster preoccupied, everyone was able to get far away from the creature.
Having already clashed with the leech monster several times, even the inexperienced adapters of the Psychic Church had found a suitable plan of attack. They were making sure to keep their distance from the leech monster while bombarding it with all types of attacks from afar.
One of the two long-range attackers was attacking the leech monster with a cannon, while the other was hurling energy bombs, and both of their attacks were quite powerful.
In addition to that, there was also Shae's Explosive Fireballs, so there were three regular long-range attackers in the camp.
Meanwhile, the two melee combat adapters who had just been rescued by Adam and Nie Yiyi were also hurling projectiles at the leech monster to harass it.
As for Nie Yiyi herself, she was situated far away, accumulating the power of cyberglyphs. The wind pressure around her body was slowly increasing, and she was waiting for a suitable opportunity to land a decisive blow on the leech monster.
The leech monster was extremely frustrated by the bombardment of attacks that it was facing, and it wanted to knock Adam away with its speed and burly frame so that it could rush over to the long-range attackers and finish them off in one fell swoop, but Adam was proving to be extremely tenacious.
In his current form, not only did Adam possess exceptional defensive prowess, the past issues surrounding his lackluster speed and offensive capabilities had also been addressed. He was far faster and more agile than he had been in the past, and as soon as he realized that the leech monster was hatching a plan to make a charge for the long-range adapters, he immediately hacked away at the parts of its body that it was trying to use to launch itself forward, thereby foiling its plan.
In its frustration and desperation, the leech monster's body began to bulge, and it fired off a series of balls of flesh.
The balls of flesh flew up into the sky before exploding into corrosive acid bombs, but the adapters were situated very far away from the leech monster and were already prepared for a potential attack, so the hit rate was very low.
Right at this moment, the representative of the southern congress suddenly entered the fray.
"I think it's about time we got rid of this psychic mutant once and for all!"
Up to this point, Adam still didn't even know her name, and as he made that righteous declaration, he made a grabbing motion with her hands before spreading them open again.
He was wearing a pair of strange metal gloves, and as soon as he involved herself in the battle, Adam immediately sensed that something wasn't right.
It was as if a gravitational field had taken shape beneath his feet, and all of his movements had become extremely sluggish as a result.
Her ability is gravitational control!
Not only was Adam feeling the effects of the heightened gravity, the leech monster seemed to have been affected even more heavily due to its enormous weight, and it instantly forced flat against the ground.
However, before it was flattened to the ground, it managed to release one final acid bomb.
The strange ball of flesh was dancing through the air, and under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for such an inaccurate attack to strike adapters who were already prepared for danger, but it was right at this moment that the situation took a turn.
The adapters had displayed more than enough speed and agility to dodge the last wave of acid bombs, but this time, their movements had become extremely sluggish, and it was as if they had been rooted to the ground. They could only look on helplessly as the acid bomb exploded right above them before showering them in corrosive acid.
Out of the five surviving adapters of the Psychic Church, four of them were instantly punched full of holes by the corrosive "acid rain". The excessive exposure to the acid had completely ruined their bodies, making it appear as if they had been struck by a barrage of bullets from a machine gun, and their agonized howls only rang out very briefly before they perished on the spot.
The sole survivor out of the five adapters was the one that Adam had rescued earlier.
He was an adapter who specialized in melee combat, and generally speaking, adapters like him were stronger and more agile than long-range attackers. As such, he was able to just barely struggle free from the constraints of the heightened gravity and jump out of the scope of the attack, thereby avoiding a fate of instant death.
"Prince, you motherfucker!" Shi Feng immediately erupted into a furious tirade upon witnessing what was happening from within the protective barrier. "I can't believe you'd actually do something like this!"
"What are you talking about?" Prince asked with an innocent expression. "What am I doing? I'm just helping everyone in battle, am I not?"
"You're still gonna play dumb even now? I should've known a southern congress bitch like you can't be trusted! Why don't you just kill us all? We've already lost most of our comrades and you're still playing dumb? Are you afraid that the footage of what you're doing here is going to be released to the public?"
Prince offered no response to this, and an expression that said "thanks for reminding me of that" appeared on his face, following which he abruptly clenched his hands together once again.
In the wake of that gesture, the gravity acting on Adam's body became even more crippling, and even remaining on his feet became an extremely grueling task, so his mobility was virtually reduced to zero.
However, at the same time, the leech monster was freed from the effects of the heightened gravity, and a part of its body split off before falling onto Adam, completely gluing him to the spot.
The leech monster was sick of having to deal with Adam's tenacious and frustrating tactics. In light of Adam's incredible defensive prowess, the leech monster didn't even try to finish him off after he was immobilized on the spot. Instead, it gave up on attacking him altogether, leaving him behind as it rushed toward Nie Yiyi, Shae, and the others.
Aside from Shi Feng and Adam, there were only three adapters left, and Nie Yiyi and Shae were already wounded, so this was the perfect opportunity to land the finishing blow on them. n0VeLusb.c0M
"Get in the barrier!" Shi Feng yelled frantically, and Nie Yiyi, Shae, and the final survivor from the Psychic Church immediately rushed toward him as quickly as they could.
The leech monster fired another batch of acid bombs into the air, and while fleeing toward the protective barrier, the gravity acting upon Shae, Nie Yiyi, and the final Psychic Church adapter was drastically amplified once again.
Nie Yiyi was almost tripped over by this abrupt increase in gravitational force, and the cyberglyphs on her body immediately began to glow brightly as she released a formidable burst of energy.
Nie Yiyi had just used her remarkable explosive power to overcome the increased gravity, and she was employing the same strategy once again, allowing her to escape from the scope of the corrosive acid before it reached her.
However, Shae wasn't so lucky.
Her explosiveness was far inferior to Nie Yiyi's, and she was only just barely able to run by relying solely on Hellhound's brute strength. She was unable to completely evade the previous attack, and the same applied on this occasion as well.
She was only just barely able to trudge to the edge of the area encompassed within the acid bomb explosion when the aid splashed onto her legs, eating away a large section of the skin, fur, and muscles on her legs.
"Are you alright?"
Having already survived two close brushes with death, the final survivor of the Psychic Church had well and truly learned his lesson, and while fleeing toward the protective barrier, he had intentionally kept close to Shae. In her werewolf form, her stature far exceeded his, and he used her massive body as a shield to keep himself safe from the acid attack.
However, he then somewhat redeemed himself by dragging the injured Shae into the protective barrier before the next wave of acid bombs arrived.
"I'll treat you!"
The Psychic Church spread open his hands, and arcs of electricity began to flash over his palms again. Compared with his skills in melee combat, he clearly excelled more in his healing abilities.
As the arcs of electricity passed over Shae's body, the missing skin and flesh began to slowly regenerate, and the effect was very pronounced.
"What do we do now?"
The two sides had been roughly evenly matched just a short while ago, but the battle had suddenly become a completely one-sided affair.
Not only did they have to oppose the psychic mutant's attacks, they also had to look out for the backstabbing Prince. To compound their woes even further, there were tens of thousands of students on the scene that they had to protect, making this a mission that was impossible to complete.
