Chapter 187: Point-blank Attack

This was a large-scale ability, and it was very much fitting for such a massive, hulking powerhouse of an anomaly.

If it weren\'t for Medusa\'s presence on the battlefield, this would\'ve been an extremely difficult anomaly to deal with.

With its tremendous physical resistance, it was a very tall order just to breach its defenses, and even if one could accomplish that, they would\'ve definitely had to expend a great deal of psychic power to achieve such a feat.

Even if Adam were to fuse as one with Clown again, he would\'ve had some trouble killing such a massive anomaly, and if the four mecha brothers wanted to bring it down, then they would\'ve had to empty the magazines on all of their weapons into the anomaly several times over.

This almighty stomp from the giant anomaly sent everyone flying, and Adam was panting heavily as he tumbled through the air. He was facing an anomaly with incredible offensive prowess, and after withstanding a string of consecutive blows from his opponent, his body was already riddled with indentations like a steel board that had been struck repeatedly by a sledgehammer.

Hence, being flung up into the air was actually a blessing for him as it allowed him some respite.

However, not everyone was so lucky. Just like everyone else, Rattlesnake had also been hurled up into the air, and before she even realized what was happening, the bat anomaly had already flown past her as a streak of red light, inflicting a gruesome gash onto her chest and abdomen that immediately began to bleed profusely.

"Help!"

Rattlesnake possessed no flight ability, so she was essentially a sitting duck while in mid-air. Thus, she could only cry out for help as she looked on helplessly while the bat anomaly circled around and flew toward her again.

However, her teammates were too far away to save her.

Right as it appeared that she was about to be sliced into two, a blade suddenly flashed through the air to parry away the bat anomaly\'s attack. At the same time, she was picked up by a strong yet gentle gust of wind that set her back down onto the ground.

As soon as she landed, she immediately caught sight of Nie Yiyi.

"Thank you so much! If it isn\'t for you, I would be dead..."

There was no real reason to thank anyone in the battle royale as everyone was acting solely for their own benefit, but Rattlesnake still couldn\'t suppress her feelings of gratitude after such a close brush with death.

However, before she had a chance to say anything else, she immediately erupted into a violent coughing fit, and blood began to gush out of her throat and abdomen.

"Save your energy. I\'ll protect you for now."

Nie Yiyi stood in front of Rattlesnake as she slashed her blades through the air, and her ability to manipulate wind was a perfect counter to the bat anomaly. Even though she wasn\'t able to harm it, it was a simple matter for her to blow it away over and over again.

At this point, Medusa finally arrived, and she tossed a card at Rattlesnake. The card seemed to be an intermediate healing card, and its effects were clearly different from that of the elementary healing card that Adam\'s team had obtained. As soon as the card was activated, the horrific gash on Rattlesnake\'s body quickly began to heal at a rate that was discernible even to the naked eyes, and it only took no more than two minutes before she was able to rejoin the battle.

"I owe you one."

Medusa patted Nie Yiyi on the shoulder before slithering away.

The close call suffered by Rattlesnake had truly infuriated Medusa, and she didn\'t hold back any longer as she slithered right up to the giant anomaly, taking a significant risk in the process.

After dodging an attack from the anomaly with her superior speed, she slithered her way onto its body, coiling her tail around the anomaly\'s neck while looking directly into its eyes.

"Eat this!"

After getting into position, Medusa unleashed her petrification attack from point-blank range.

As a result of their close proximity, the anomaly began to turn to stone at a rate that was more than 10 times faster than before. In the face of the first petrification attack, it was as if the anomaly had been thrown into a freezer to gradually freeze overnight, but in contrast, it was essentially being snap frozen now.

In the blink of an eye, the anomaly\'s body was completely turned to stone, and with a forceful swat from Medusa\'s serpentine tail, the massive stone statue completely crumbled away into giant stone slabs.

With that, the first anomaly was taken care of.

Medusa heaved a sigh of relief as she turned to inspect the rest of the battlefield.

She had just taken down the first anomaly, but the situation was not looking good for everyone else.

There were still five anomalies left, and Adam and King Arthur were occupying one each, but neither of them was a match for their opponents. In particular, Adam was being beaten into a pulp, and he was only surviving thanks to his robust defenses.

After fusing as one with Mummy, Adam\'s overall power was only just barely at the S tier, and he was mediocre in all departments aside from defense.

At the moment, these enhanced artificial anomalies were all equivalent to upper mid-level S tier combatants, and not only was he no match for such an opponent in a one-on-one setting, even King Arthur and his dragon were being dominated.

However, their lives weren\'t under any real threat at the moment, but the same couldn\'t be said for Nie Yiyi.

The two other members of Medusa\'s team had already gathered around Nie Yiyi, and the three of them had joined forces to protect the healing Rattlesnake. At the moment, they were facing two opponents, with an extremely fast speed-type anomaly joining the bat anomaly, and they were only just barely able to hold on.

The only ones who were in a decent situation were the four mecha brothers, who were facing only a single anomaly in a rather even contest.

Now that Medusa had taken care of her opponent, she naturally chose to help her teammates over everyone else.

"How are you doing?"

"I\'m just about healed up," Rattlesnake replied.

"Where\'s the other team?"

Initially, there were four teams: Medusa\'s team, Adam\'s team, the four mecha brothers, and another team.

"They ran away." It was Nie Yiyi who replied this time. "I saw her running away earlier, and I chased after her for a while, but she was still able to get away."

That team was incomplete to begin with, having lost one of its members before they had even arrived here.

Another one of them was killed by Medusa\'s petrification attack outside the supply point, so by the time they entered this area, there were only two of them left.

They weren\'t as bulky as the four mecha brothers in their combined form, so it wasn\'t that difficult for them to escape during the chaos.

Of course, the main reason they had chosen to flee was that they weren\'t going to benefit at all from staying here. Their team was by far the weakest of the four, so even if all of the anomalies were eradicated, they weren\'t going to receive any cards. Instead, the only thing that awaited them was death.

Hence, there was a complete mismatch in risk versus reward, and it only made sense for them to run away.

"Did both of them get away?"

"Only one of them got away," Nie Yiyi replied. "The other one was either struck by your petrification attack or was injured by the explosion inside the theater. In any case, she wasn\'t able to move very well, and she was killed by an anomaly while trying to get away."

"I see. I suppose it doesn\'t really matter." That team had been quite weak to begin with, and now that only one of them was left, they were certainly no cause for concern. "You saved my friend, so you\'re also my friend from now on. I\'ll admit that I\'m a very opportunistic person, but I\'m very good to my friends."

"Sure."

Nie Yiyi nodded in response. She had a very bad first impression of Medusa, so she didn\'t believe anything that Medusa said.
