Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 466: Judgment of Death

This was Adam's most powerful invoked anomaly, and it was what he had been banking on all along.

He had waited for so long as he wanted to be absolutely certain that Hebi no Miko's psychic body had actually appeared on the battlefield. For an adapter of her caliber, the same trick wasn't going to work on her twice, so he had withheld Angel up to this point in order to retain the element of surprise.

Adam had even allowed Horse Face to sustain severe injuries in order to lure her into a false sense of complacency, thinking that the worst was already behind her, and as soon as Hebi no Miko reappeared in her Yamata no Orochi form, an enormous projection of an angel of darkness had already emerged before her.

The angel's domain had completely sealed all of the space around Hebi no Miko, and due to the energy requirements to complete her transformation, Hebi no Miko had been forced to shrink down her domain. As a result, Angel's domain had managed to establish dominance over hers.

This time, Yamata no Oroch was only no more than 100 meters in length, which was far smaller than before, but still gargantuan to the average adapter.

She had also appeared in a more substantial form, and there were no longer any illusory qualities about her appearance.

Hebi no Miko displayed no fear at the sight of the angelic projection before her. Instead, she began to roar with laughter.

"Very good! You've finally managed to surprise me. Looks like you're not going to be a complete pushover this time."

Adam was standing in the distance down below, but due to his psychic connection with Angel, he was looking down at Hebi no Miko, and his battle intent had reached unprecedented heights.

"This is where you die, Hebi no Miko. It's time to accept your final judgment."

Adam wasted no time with words as he immediately sprang into action.

Angel slowly raised the staff in its hand at Adam's behest, and an authoritative voice rang out across the entirety of its domain.

"Accept your judgment, sinner!"

Angel didn't even have to use its scale on Hebi no Miko. Alternatively, it could be said that it had already weighed up all of the conflicting elements in Hebi no Miko's existence.

It was clear that Hebi no Miko had done far more evil than good in her life, and she had also never felt true joy, only the twisted type of elation that she derived from killing others, which completely went against human morality.

For her, happiness and pain were nothing more than a false proposition. Fundamentally speaking, her entire life was a tragedy, so it should've been filled with pain and suffering.

However, she was very happy with the existence that she led, and the only time that she had felt pain was when her sister had died, but that pain only stemmed from a twisted desire for control, rather than true love and compassion.

Hence, two outcomes had emerged, one that applied to normal people, while the other applied to a completely deranged nutjob like her. Both were extreme and devoid of balance, and as Angel passed judgment upon her, everything in her past was arranged and exposed in its barest form.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Hebi no Miko.

She detested being judged and admonished by others above all else, and Angel's judgment only made her even more furious and deranged.

In order to vent her emotions, she instantly unleashed all of her most powerful attacks, and the All-encompassing Furnace, World's End Lightning, and Undead Destruction filled the entire sky in unison, inundating Angel and its scale.

In the next instant, the sound of a majestic and holy choir rang out across the dark sky as black feathers filled the entire domain, scattering all of Hebi no Miko's devastating forbidden techniques before reverting back into a pair of enormous wings.

After the wings took shape, they slowly spread open again to reveal Angel, as well as its scale and staff, all of which were completely unscathed.

"Impossible! Nothing can withstand my attacks!" Hebi no Miko roared in disbelief as she charged straight at the angelic projection before her.

With her tremendous weight and speed, she was able to plow through the air with power no less formidable than that of a small asteroid, and she bulldozed her way through the domain before crashing violently into Angel's body.

Angel instantly disintegrated into countless specks of light before reforming behind Hebi no Miko and swinging its staff viciously down from above, smashing one of her heads into mincemeat.

She screeched in agony as she whipped her body back and forth in a frenzy, smashing Angle to bits once again.

However, her attacks were completely futile. Angel was able to transition between a substantial and an illusory form, and within its domain, it was essentially invulnerable. Only those who were exempt from its power of judgment or possessed power beyond its maximal limits could successfully break out of its domain.

Furthermore, unbeknownst to Hebi no Miko, every single one of her attacks was only serving to further reinforce Angel's domain, causing the scale to tip even further. One side had already been tilted to the very bottom, and there was no longer any chance for the scale to be tipped back in her favor.

Angel's staff had become even thicker and sturdier than before, and its cold and emotionless gaze pierced directly through Hebi no Miko's body, seeing into the very core of her existence as countless thin strands of light bound her before dragging her toward the scale.

"Die!" Hebi no Miko roared in fury and desperation, and a glacial aura suddenly rose up from her body as temperatures close to absolute zero descended upon the entire space, slowing everything to a crawl.

Immediately thereafter, she began twisting and writhing with all her might, struggling free from the strands of light that bound her as flames began to emerge within one of her serpentine heads.

Hebi no Miko compressed the flame with her immense psychic power, causing it to rapidly increase in temperature, and in the blink of an eye, it had already become brighter than the sun. In the end, it melted away the serpentine head that it was contained within, releasing tremendous heat to clash against the glacial power in the air.

Everything was instantly reduced to dust in silence.

Yamata no Orochi's body disintegrated, leaving only Hebi no Miko's human form behind, and what remained of her power manifested a new illusory setting.

It was a wooden hut constructed halfway up a mountain, and there was a snowy volcano in the distance and a pine forest nearby. It was a truly picturesque scene to behold.

A little girl was seated on a swing in the courtyard, and her long hair was fluttering in the wind behind her, giving her an innocent and adorable appearance.

From afar, Adam could see that the little girl's appearance was a mix of both Hebi no Miko and Oni no Miko, except all of the cruelty, resentment, fury, and insanity had been striped away, leaving behind only an image of virtuous purity.

Her laughter was as pleasant as the tinkling of a windchime, striking the beholder with a reluctance to harm her.

Adam took a deep breath as he clenched his fists tightly, and Angel swung down its staff in a cold and emotionless manner to put an end to everything.
