Chapter 68: Vampire

Right as Shae was absorbed in her own thoughts, she was sent flying with a dull thump by a massive palm. She flew through the air for several meters before crashing headfirst into a printer, inflicting a gash on her head that was bleeding profusely.

The giant supervisor aberration then began to give chase, but it had only rushed forward a couple of steps before it was torn into pieces by a set of fiery claws that struck it from behind.

"Why are you spacing out in the middle of a battle?"

Adam eradicated all of the aberrations that were closing in around Shae as he spoke, and he was able to do so in less than five seconds.

By the time his voice trailed off, the entire area had already been cleansed.

"I was just thinking to myself, if there's such a massive gap between us, what purpose could I possibly serve?" Shae clambered up from the ground as she spoke. "I've thought about many things recently, and I know that our goals are going to be very difficult to achieve. If I'm too weak, then I'll be nothing but dead weight that drags you down."

"Just take it one step at a time. I agree that our goals will be very difficult to achieve, but we also have plenty of time to achieve them. Just focus on doing what you need to do, such as acquiring the right to succession of the company."

Adam didn't say anything further as Kim Hee-cho was watching them outside in the real world.

"But I also want to fight."

"Just gradually build up the power of your personality, and I'm sure you'll surpass me in a few years. For now, let's go to the next floor and clean up this entire building."

Cleansing Wang Shuai of his emotional baggage was a very tedious task, and there was far more emotional baggage in his psychic world than what had been present in Peter's stock exchange office.

The only piece of good news was that after Adam eradicated all of the emotional aberrations in the building, he discovered that the streets were very clean.

"Phew, it looks like all of his pressure comes from his work."

Adam made a quick inspection of the streets, and in order to ensure a complete job, he and Shae began to travel through Wang Shuai's psychic world to see if they had missed anything.

Wang Shuai's psychic world was extremely barren, with very few constituent modules. He had never traveled anywhere, nor had he ever enjoyed being in nature, and he didn't engage in any recreational activities.

All of the psychic modules were dour and lifeless with low atmospheric pressure with the exception of one place, and that was his school.

Standing outside the school's sports field, Adam was looking on with a forlorn expression at a far younger version of Wang Shuai, who was exercising inside.

"Who could've imagined that someone who looks so dead inside was once a star baseball player in their school days?"

On the sports field, Wang Shuai and his teammates were exercising vigorously and sweating profusely. Adam didn't know much about baseball, but he could tell that Wang Shuai was a very good player. At the conclusion of the innings, many of his teammates approached him to celebrate.

"People slowly change as they grow up," Shae sighed, and she was talking about herself just as much as she was talking about Wang Shuai.

However, Adam's thoughts had gone down a different avenue.

"Adults are too greedy and desire too much. The prospect of immortality is so alluring that it's warped human nature."

After completing their examination of most of the places in Wang Shuai's psychic world, they made his home their final destination.

The house was a small compound in a suburban neighborhood, and Adam had initially thought that there wouldn't have been any aberrations here. After all, for many people, their home was their haven. Not only were there generally no aberrations there, the safe harbor rule often applied.

However, he was mistaken. As soon as he entered the compound, he immediately sensed that something wasn't right. The atmospheric pressure was already quite low, but it drastically plummeted even further here, to the point that it was almost impossible to draw breath.

"Be on your guard. There's something not right about this place."

Adam activated his telegnosis, and he immediately sensed danger in the room.

He carefully approached the door of the compound, and he had only just kicked the door open when a strange figure abruptly flew out from inside. The figure was extremely strong and fast, pinning him to the ground as soon as it emerged.

Adam tried to struggle into an upright position, but as soon as the creature pinned him onto the ground, it bit down onto his neck and began to suck vigorously. Adam wanted to resist, but he felt as if a large chunk of the power in his body had been sucked away in the blink of an eye.

In his feeble state, he was unable to struggle free from his assailant and could only use his arm to push the creature's face away.

He focused his gaze on the creature to find that it was an anomaly.

Is this a vampire?

The anomaly had a set of fangs and a pair of bright red eyes set into a slender face, and it bore a strong resemblance to the vampires in fictional stories.

The sight of a vampire pinning down a werewolf was rather reminiscent of scenes that had once been prevalent in movies from a century ago.

Shae was desperate to save Adam, but as soon as she tried to approach him, the vampire swept a hand through the air, and just the powerful wind pressure released by his sweeping hand was enough to blow her back by close to 20 meters.

"Don't come near me! This is not an ordinary emotional aberration. You'll die if you try to fight it!"

Emotional anomalies couldn't be compared with normal emotional aberrations. An anomaly could be dozens, even hundreds of times more powerful than aberrations, and for someone like Shae, who struggled to keep up even with emotional aberrations, an anomaly could easily kill her in a matter of seconds.

Thankfully, she was quite obedient. In contrast with the foolish characters in television dramas who insisted on weighing down the protagonist of the show, she made the wise decision to get far away from the action.

After Shae had retreated to a safe distance away, Adam was still struggling to stand up, but the vampire was very strong. In addition to that, part of his power had just been sucked away, leaving him feeling quite weak and feeble, so he was still unable to struggle free.

However, right at this moment, something suddenly sprang out of his body. The thing was like a distorted illusion, and as soon as it appeared, it immediately pounced onto the vampire. All of a sudden, all of the vampire anomaly's joints were twisted to abnormal angles as if they had been snapped, and the force that was pinning down Adam was instantly significantly alleviated. He immediately jumped on this opportunity, forcing back the vampire with a vicious kick.

"Phew... It's a good thing I have you around."

Looking at Distortion, Adam felt a sense of affection, yet also frustration.

His affection for it stemmed from the fact that the anomaly was very powerful in battle, virtually the most powerful anomaly of its caliber. However, it was also immensely frustrating to him that not only was fusing with it not a viable option, he couldn't even invoke it when there were other people around as he was afraid that it would harm his allies.

After being bound by Distortion, the vampire let loose a terrifying shriek.

It was quite a powerful anomaly, considering it was still able to unleash strange attacks even after it was bound by Distortion. Its screech immediately struck Adam with a rush of dizziness, but thankfully, he had enough anomalies on his side.

Mummy seemed to be far more resistant to attacks of this nature, and it was able to force its way through the soundwave attack, rushing directly over to the vampire before stabbing its carving knife into the vampire's mouth.

Meanwhile, Adam had also sprung into action. After taking a moment to compose himself, flames gathered over his hand, and he plunged his claws straight into the vampire's chest.

The vampire's combat prowess was roughly equivalent to that of Distortion, but it was facing too many opponents of the same caliber, and it was completely powerless to resist.

After the vampire's chest melted away under Adam's flames, its powers were significantly diminished, and Distortion was able to fold its body into a giant meatball. A flurry of attacks quickly followed, and the vampire exploded on the spot.

The same familiar black mist appeared in the wake of the vampire's demise, and Adam absorbed all of the anomalic power while the dust and smoke from the explosion hadn't yet dissipated.

He had become far more adept in his absorption and usage of anomalic power, and just like last time, he decided to prioritize some of his anomalies over the others. He first allocated some of the anomalic power to Hellhound, but after failing to detect any signs that suggested that Hellhound was about to undergo an evolution, he allocated all of the remaining anomalic power to Mummy.

A thunderous roar rang out as Mummy's body swelled drastically to 260 centimeters in height, Its arms had become as thick as the average person's waist, and the carving knife in its hand was also giving off a red gleam.
