Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 415: A True Invocator

Even though Adam hadn\'t said anything, May and Renee could immediately sense that something was different about him.

"You seem to have undergone some kind of change," Renee remarked as she approached him. "Your aura has become stronger and more stable. You\'re really beginning to feel like a top-tier adapter now."

She then took a glance at Noah, whose breathing had become as weak and shallow as a vegetable due to suffering brain death.

"I have some dirt on you after this now, right?" Renee chuckled. "You owe me a favor, and don\'t you forget it."

"Didn\'t you do this to return a favor from May?"

Originally, yes, but the nature of the event has changed. It\'s become both illegal and dangerous, so you owe me one. If I need your help someday, you have to lend it to me, do you hear me?

"Loud and clear," Adam replied with a nod.

Renee had indeed done him a massive favor, and given how much he had gained from this, it wouldn\'t have been too much even for her to ask Adam to help her on 10 future occasions.

"I really overexerted myself in there, so I\'m getting a massage. You\'re free to go after you\'re done with what you need to do, there\'s no need to notify me."

Indeed, Renee had been pushed extremely far in the battle against Noah, and it seemed that she was only able to maintain her peak power for a short time.

After that, she promptly departed, but she didn\'t go to rest and get a massage, as she proclaimed that she would. Instead, she arrived in a secret room, then sent a few messages to her subordinates at the Psychic Church.

"Send me all of the information you have on mayoral candidate Adam, including from his time at Shadow City."

After sending the message, her brows furrowed tightly as she murmured to herself, "How could their psychic properties be so similar? Could it be that he\'s his son?"

……

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Having come into contact with Adam so extensively, May had already roughly guessed the nature of Adam\'s powers.

She had known Adam ever since he first awakened, and she had witnessed his rate of growth from the very beginning.

Prior to this, she had only been able to make educated guesses, but this latest incident had all but confirmed to her that her suspicions had been correct.

"No," Adam replied, even though he could tell that May had already uncovered the truth through her deduction. "There are some things that won\'t benefit anyone for you to know. You don\'t want to go against the southern congress and the Guild of Immortality, so it\'s in your best interests to know as little about my secrets as possible. We should maintain a friendly relationship, yet still keep some distance between us. That would be beneficial to everyone, wouldn\'t you agree?"

May couldn\'t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"You\'re becoming more and more mature. You\'re right. I\'m leaving now, you can take care of the rest on your own."

After that, May also departed.

"How did it go, Adam?" Mole asked.

"I\'ll tell you about it when we get back."

……

At the Four Brothers Veterinarian Hospital.

"The operation was a tremendous success!" Adam declared as he dragged Shae and Mole into his psychic world, then instantly invoked his entire legion of anomalies, which consisted of an enormous number of anomalies.

"Those anomalies look really strong, but what are those ones over there? Why have I never seen them before?"

Aside from the anomalies that Shae had seen in the past, there were also many other anomalies that didn\'t appear to have been at a very high level, mostly only around level two or level three.

There were even some that appeared to have only been level one anomalies, but there were dozens of them in total, making this a bona fide anomalic army.

Perhaps a single one of these anomalies wouldn\'t have been all that worthy of note, but if one were to be swarmed by all of these anomalies at once, then that would certainly have been a terrifying prospect.

"I got them while in prison. At the time, I killed quite a few cash cows, and I also killed quite a few mentally disturbed inmates during the final riot. All of their anomalies have remained in my psychic world, and I thought that they were going to remain in their infantile form, so they weren\'t ever going to be very useful, but there was so much anomalic power this time that I had to feed everyone."

Adam\'s gaze roamed over the army of anomalies as he mused, "I\'m finally beginning to feel like a true invocator. This army of anomalies can rival Sadou\'s invoked entities. Of course, these anomalies still form the backbone of the army."

Adam turned his gaze to the higher level anomalies that he hadn\'t had a chance to examine earlier, then began to inspect their current condition through his psychic connection with them.

He started with Distortion, which had stopped randomly attacking Adam\'s allies following its latest evolution.

As Distortion had become more powerful, it had also become easier for Adam to control, and now that it had become a level seven anomaly, it had already completely fused as one with Adam\'s psyche.

Its appearance hadn\'t changed much, but its stature had increased even further.

In its current form, even Adam couldn\'t help but feel disturbed at the sight of its distorted body, and all types of strange and twisted thoughts were constantly springing into his mind.

This was Distortion\'s new ability, Mental Distortion.

Adam didn\'t know how powerful a level seven Distortion was, and he desperately needed a worthy opponent to test out his powers.

However, he knew that Shae and the psychic mutant trio definitely wouldn\'t have been up to the task.

If he wanted to truly test out his powers, then he would have to seek out opponents of a higher caliber.

Horse Face has also reached level seven.

Adam turned to Horse Face to find that its brush had become even faster and more agile, and it had also become more well-rounded in its attributes.

Horse Face and Camera shared the same fatal weakness in that they were both very physically frail.

However, in contrast with Camera, which was going further and further down the path of no return, Horse Face had developed a layer of thick skin over its entire body, and its defenses had clearly been enhanced, thereby allowing it to be more useful and effective on the battlefield.

Not bad. Last but not least is Sludge.

Adam turned to Sludge, which had already grown to 20 meters in height, and its stature made it the most eye-catching figure in the entire anomalic army.

It stood as tall as a seven-story building, given its broad and imposing figure, it resembled a small mountain.

The increase in stature had granted it more destructive power and defensive prowess, and the blue patterns on its body had also become more concentrated, further indicating enhanced defensive capabilities.

Furthermore, Adam discovered that he was able to manipulate the size of Sludge even more easily now.

At his behest, Sludge quickly shrank down to only two meters in height.

Prior to this latest evolution, Sludge had only been able to shrink down to around eight meters at the smallest, and it was still quite cumbersome in many situations.

However, given its current versatility in stature, it would be able to participate in many indoors battles without having to smash open the roof.

In this shrunken state, Sludge\'s body appeared to have become even denser and more difficult to break through. In battles where destructive capabilities and movement speed weren\'t priorities, this would be quite a good size for Sludge.

However, as Adam began to examine Sludge more closely, he noticed that something wasn\'t quite right.

It seems to have reached its limit and can\'t evolve any further.
