Chapter 455: Eradication

Despite its size reduction, Sludge's power hadn't diminshed in the slightest, and that punch carried the force of a frieght train moving at full speed.

Oni no Bozu's belly completely caved in, almost coming into direct contact with his back, and his enormous body was also snapped into two.

The contents of his stomach instantly came gushing out of his mouth in the form of all types of strange psychic aberrations, all of which were slain by Mummy with ease, which then plunged its carving knife viciously into Oni no Bozu's caved-in belly sevearl dozen times in succession.

At the same time, Adam's right arm suddenly liquefied into sludge before gushing into Oni no Bozu's stomach through the holes that had been stabbed into his belly. There, teh sludge abruptly solidified, and with a punch from his left fist, Oni no Bozu's entire body was pulverized into countless pieces.

"And that leaves only one more," Adam mused as he turned to Oni no Ameonna.

All of a sudden, the wave of sewage down below rose up to inundate Oni no Ameonna's entire body before she could get away.

"You think you can get away? Where do you think you are right now?"

Adam raised his right foot before stomping down violently onto the ground, causing the entire earth to tremble violently beneath his feet. Meanwhile, the Fountain of Contamination began to swirl and churn violently at Nun's behest.

Oni no Ameonna's body immediately began to liquefy as she attempted to fuse into the wave of sewage around her, but her plan was thwarted by Nun, who forcibly expelled her into the open, preventing her from fusing with the surrounding sewage.

Before her liquefied body had a chance to reform, Hellhound released a string of Explosive Fireballs that complemented Diana's draconic flames, instantly evaporating most of the liquid. What remained attempted to reform into a far smaller version of Oni no Ameonna, only to be inundated by a rising pillar of sewage that completely swallowed it up and forced it to disintegrate once again.

It seemed that Oni no Ameonna had also met her demise, and as a result, her oil paper umbrella came falling out of the sky.

Mummy immediately wound its bandages around the umbrella at Adam's behest, then hacked viciously at it with its carving knife, upon which an agonized screech rang out.

"You thought you could fool me by playing dead? How naive!"

Adam had no intention of sparing anyone from the Oni Organization, and with that, all of the eight Onis had been eradicated.

As for the 36 Tigers, each of them wasn't even as powerful as Mole and the others. They would've been more then capable of assassinating ordinary targets, but in the face of high-level adapters, they were nothing more than cannon fodder.

Clown's clones were sufficient to tear through their ranks on their own, and it wasn't goign to take mcuh longer at all before they were copmletely wiped out.

Adam didn't want to waste any more time with them, so he invoked around 20 to 30 low-level adapters to swarm them and accelerate their demise.

After that, he turned to a tall tree as he yelled, "Are you just going to watch all of them get eradicated, leaving you behind as the only one in the end? That doesn't seem like something that a shrewd commander would do."

If Masao had used his forces wisely, they would've been able to play a bigger role in teh battle, particularly the two Onis.

However, instead, he had completely squandered his forces by throwing them into battle while he cowered in the shadows, and the outcome was certainly far from ideal.

"The only value that they could provide was their ability to buy time for me. Now that they've served their purpose, it hardly matters to me whether they live or die."

This was a very fitting statement, considering Masao Yamamoto's cold and cruel personality. As for why he had sent out his forces to buy time for him, it was clear that he was taking this time to recover from his injuries and prepare an all-out attack.

In a discrete maneuver, Adam invoked Spider behind Sludge, while Mummy was situated to hte left, and Hellhound was standing on the right. Ogress was lurking in the air above, while Nun was sitauted on the ground, and Distortion, Angel, and Clown's army of clones were also all ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.

During the battle between Masao Yamamoto, and Cowboy and Warlock, Adam could tell that Masao Yamamoto possessed powers close to the level of Hebi no Miko. However, up to this point, he still hadn't displayed such a level of power, so he had have still had some trump cards up his sleeve.

Sure enough, Masao Yamamoto quickly revealed what he had been preparing this entire time. All of a sudden, a giant tree in front of him was plit down the middle as a blade projection swept through the air at an unfathomable speed, covering a distance of over 100 meters before striking the top of Sludge's head in the bilnk of an eye.

In an instant, Sludge's head, arms, and legs had all been severed from its torso.

Adam attempted to fuse his body back together, only to find that each piece was restricted by a burst of immense psychic power that completely thwarted his efforts.

Furthermore, the blade projection was continuing to sweep forward, destroying the entire pavilion, and only after that did the tree collapse to reveal Masao Yamamoto behind it.

Not only had he recovered from all of his previous injuries, he had swelled to close to 10 meters in height, and he appeared to have also received a significant power boost, wielding a disprportionately massive blade in his hand.

"I'm aware of all of your abilities. There's no way for you to withstand my Blade of Annihilation, so this where you die."

Masao Yamamoto stepped over the fallen tree as he spoke, then swept his blade through the air, and all of a sudden, the tree behind him was completely shredded into chunks no bigger than the average human hand.

"You're currently trapped in your own invoked entity, unable to move, evade, or retaliate, so the only possible fate for you is death!"

Masao Yamamoto took another step forward as he spoke, and yet another fearsome blade projection was unleashed.

From Adam's perspective, he could see that the streak of light was actually formed by countless blade projections that could disperse at any moment at Masao Yamamoto's behest to attack multiple opponents in a large area.

It was no wonder that Cowboy and Warlock had been beaten into such a sorry state. Back then, they hadn't even witnessed this attack from Masao Yamamoto, which made sense, considering this appeared to have been his final trump card.

All of a sudden, a cold smile appeared on Adam's face.

Spider appeared up ahead in its most powerful seven-headed form, and with an Infernal Howl from Hellhound, a rock that had fallen nearby suddenly liquefied before taking on a two-meter-tall humanoid form.

Adam had also kept a trick up his sleeve, and Sludge hadn't been in its complete form this entire time.

Such an unexpected turn of events had Masao Yamamoto momentarily rooted to the spot. He had thought that he had covered all of his bases, but it appeared that this was not the case.

However, there was no time for him to think as Spider had already withstood the first blade projection head-on before falling back after sustaining injuries. After that, Mummy came to the fore, and it was also forced back, but by then, the balde projection's power had already been halved.

Meanwhile, Spider instantly made a partial recovery thanks to its incredible regenerative abilities, then began firing off a flurry of attacks in retaliation.

At the same time, Nun's Fountain of Contamination began to swirl around Masao Yamamoto's legs, eroding into his skin.

Simultaneously, Diana swooped down rapidly from up above, then slammed her tail viciously into Masao Yamamoto's back, causing him to stumble. In retaliation, he lashed out with his blade, almost slicing Diana in half.

Diana was forced to retreat with severe injuries, but she had already bought Adam sufficient time to unleash his final trump card.

Camera had emerged to seal the deal, and with a click of its shutter and a flash of light, Masao Yamamoto was instantly immobilized.

Immediately thereafter, two arcs of light flashed through the air, inflicting an x-shaped wound? onto his chest before sending him toppling to the ground.
