Chapter 110: Desert

Adam stepped onto the stage with the mustached man, and he was first almost blinded by the bright lights before hearing a loud chorus of boos from the spectators.

"What the hell? Who's that? This isn't a cyborg fight!"

"Who's that supposed to be?"

"Where's Red Cat?"

Some of the spectators were perplexed by Adam's arrival, while others were calling for another combatant.

In the face of all of these dissenting voices, the mustached man remained calm and gave Adam a grand introduction.

"Today, we've decided to give you all a treat. The combatant standing next to me is an adapter that I invited to come here from the main arena at a massive price! He will be the one facing off against Black Bear today!"

"An adapter? What a load of bullshit! Why would an adapter come here instead of fighting in the main arena?"

"Exactly! What kind of adapter would be that desperate?"

"You'll know whether he's an adapter or not in just a minute. If he's an imposter, then I give all of you full permission to rush onto the stage and chop him into mincemeat!"

As a seasoned fight organizer, not only was the mustached man able to instantly ignite the emotions of the spectators, he had also dumped all of the accountability onto Adam.

He was also quite skeptical about Adam's status as an adapter.

After all, the chances of a teenage girl bringing an adapter to a shady stall like his were very low.

However, given that the fight was about to begin, he had no time to verify Adam's adapter status. Regardless of whether Adam was an adapter or not, he had dumped all accountability onto Adam, so at the very least, he could ensure that his business wasn't going to be demolished if the spectators weren't delivered what they were promised.

"Now then, according to the rules, we show you the combatants, then take your bets." The mustached man made his way over to Adam as he said, "If you're an adapter, then you won't need to wear the helmet, but you'll still need to use the connector for venue selection purposes."

"I understand," Adam replied as he accepted the connector, then took the spot that belonged to Red Cat.

"Are you alright with this?" the mustached man asked as he made his way over to the other combatant.

"If I'm fighting an adapter, then I need extra compensation."

"Alright, we'll give you twice the original cut of the profits."

"Sounds good to me." The combatant wanted to nod in response, but all he could do was twitch the muscles on his neck slightly, and it was clear that he was completely beyond saving.

"Alright, we now enter the display stage!" The mustached man gave Adam a look as he spoke, and Adam dragged the other combatant into the psychic world using the connector.

Due to the role played by the connector, Adam had no choice but to enter that white space after entering the psychic world.

Standing not far away in front of him was an extremely burly and hirsute man. The man was over 220 centimeters tall, and with his almost comically muscular frame and the dense black hair that covered his entire body, he resembled a black bear more so than a human.

As for Adam, he had also taken on an alternate appearance.

Adam's psychic body was quite similar in appearance to his physical body, but at the moment, he was a highly wanted fugitive that was being hunted not just by Mechguard, but also by organizations like the southern congress and the Oni Organization.

His physical body had been disguised, so he naturally had to disguise his psychic body as well. This was a very difficult task for the average person, but it was very simple for him.

In the instant that he entered the psychic world, he immediately invoked Nun before fusing with it.

He had chosen this anomaly primarily because it had virtually never been displayed in a public setting. Even when he had invoked Nun during the battle at Mirror Lake Primary School, no one had been around to see it, and right after it was invoked, it immediately possessed that student, thereby vanishing out of sight.

Thus, confidentiality was the main reason why Adam had decided to use nun, and the second reason was that he really wanted to develop this anomaly.

After watching the battle between Oni no Miko and Sadou, he had developed a new understanding of how invocator-class adapters battled.

Due to the special nature of invocators, they were capable of nurturing more than one invoked entity to deal with different situations. At the moment, Adam's most powerful anomalies excelled in terms of combat prowess, but they were far too lackluster when it came to abilities, so there were many instances where he was completely stumped in special situations.

Among all of his anomalies, Nun possessed the most abilities and was also the most powerful one, so he really wanted to develop it.

After fusing as one with Nun, all of Adam's facial muscles had completely atrophied, and there were also pitch-black rings around his eyes, making him completely unrecognizable.

"Ohhh, he really is an adapter!"

"He looks pretty scary too! Like a ghost!"

"We're in for a real treat today!"

The spectators were very excited to actually be seeing a real adapter in the arena, and everyone immediately erupted into a frenzy of excitement.

The mustached man was very pleased by the audience's reaction, and he declared, "Now that you've all had a good look at our combatants, you can begin placing your bets now!"

The first batch of spectators quickly made their bets, with most of them putting their money on Adam.

However, the second batch of spectators wasn't in such a hurry to make their choice.

"Hold on, just because he's an adapter doesn't mean he'll definitely win."

"Exactly! If he's really that strong, then he wouldn't be fighting in an arena like this. I read on the internet that most adapters aren't actually very strong, so he may not be as strong as Black Bear."

"On top of that, if everyone bets on the adapter, the payout will be really low anyway, so we may as well take a chance and bet against him!"

"Precisely!"

Thus, those who felt as if they had found a loophole in the system quickly placed their bets on Black Bear.

Due to the presence of an adapter, the crowd was growing larger and larger, and the mustached man intentionally stalled for some time so that more people could place their bets before announcing the commencement of the match.

70% of the spectators placed their bets on Mr. Hitman! I wonder if he can back up his hype. qheoitqehtqoiethetoiqheoithwqohthoiewhtoiewqhtoqewhhqwt

Hailey was also feeling an immense sense of pride as she watched all of the spectators cheering for Adam in the stands.

"The gentleman with the mohawk has placed the highest bid of 30,000, so he gets to come up onstage and select the venue for the fight!"

"I choose the desert!" the man yelled from the spectator stands, choosing not to step onstage.

"Fantastic choice! There are no weapons in the desert, so this will be a pure display of the combatants' abilities! Let the show begin!"

With that emphatic announcement from the mustached man, Adam felt the space around him begin to change. His psychic body remained still on the spot, but the data of the white space began to permutate, transforming into a different environment altogether.

Moments later, he found himself in an abandoned city in a barren desert.

Most of the walls in the city were constructed from mud and rocks, looking as if they were a product from several thousand years ago. The walls weren't very sturdy to begin with, and after thousands of years of wind erosion, the city had been reduced to ruins.

Adam naturally wasn't familiar at all with this venue, so he decided to climb onto the highest wall beside him to inspect the environment.
