Chapter 275: Hundred Men Army

After another punch landed on Calamity's face, he just grinned with his bloody teeth and pushed Adam off with monstrous strength.

Adam slid backwards a little bit before coming to a complete stop.

"You've earned my respect, Adam, but you've made one mistake." Calamity spread his arms wide. "My health is now below 100!"

[Calamity - HP: 99/1650]

'Why does that matter?' Adam just frowned.

"Thousand-Arm Monster of Armageddon is a legendary-ranked transformation!"

Adam's eyes widened.

'The legendary-ranked transformations have special ability that is only usable when the user is extremely near death...'

Adam was wondering why Calamity didn't seem afraid or even in a slight panic. He kept sensing his emotions, and he seemed quite carefree.

Now it made sense.

Calamity was extremely confident in surviving because of his special ability.

The wind suddenly ceased, and the air grew still around them.

Calamity put his hands together, and then around a hundred arms sprouted around him like celestial rings. These arms didn't look ugly like the others, but smooth-skinned and ended in elegant fingers that moved gracefully.

"The Hundred Man Army!"

Within his body, hundreds of men jumped out and stood behind Calamity like an army of loyal soldiers.

These men were black-haired, bare naked, and armed with only their fists.

"This is the first time I am ever using this, haha!" Calamity laughed. "You're the first to accomplish that. Be proud of the fact. Maybe it will bring you comfort in your death!"

...

On top of the Observatory building.

"Where did all these men come from?!" Otis cried out.

Hearing the commotion, most of the Originals woke up after a few hours of nap and came to check on the fight and how it was going.

However, a shocking sight unfolded before them.

It wasn't only one-versus-one fight anymore, but instead one-versus-army!

"Adam is in trouble!"

A weak-legged Original fell on his knees and whispered. "It's over. No one can defeat him." "Davy, get up. The fight is not over yet!" Otis cried out.

"Yes, it is." Davy said. "Look at the others."

Otis glanced around the Originals and saw that all of them had lost their hope. Their faces were filled with defeat and resignation.

At that moment, the door of the rooftop opened, and teary-faced Raquelle stepped through, her eyes red and puffy from crying.

"Miss Raquel." Agnes ran to her side and embraced her, comforting her as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"Raquel..." Otis called out softly. "What happened?"

"Nothing..." Raquel said, wiping away her tears and trying to compose herself. "How's the fight going?"

"..." Otis turned his gaze away. "Not good."

Raquel frowned and walked to the railing, but to her surprise, the sight below was not what she expected.

"Who're they, and why're they protecting Calamity?"

"No idea, but they appeared from his body." Otis said. "It must be a special ability of his. It looks like Calamity has not shown his true power yet."

Raquel grabbed the railing hard, and her heart raced with fear.

'Adam...'

-

"Huff, huff..." Adam panted heavily and wiped some of the blood from his eyes.

It was getting hard for him to see as his eyes were bleeding so much. It was because he'd been overusing Kiryoku lately as well.

The situation looked dire.

Since the start of the fight, Adam had not been holding down and was fighting at full strength, but it looked like Calamity had been fighting with one hand tied behind his back.

'I don't remember Calamity having this ability in the past life.' Adam thought. 'Maybe he simply never showed it. It must be his final trump card.'

Calamity pointed his finger at Adam. Fiddled it left and right. Then the bare, naked men behind him rushed forward.

Adam reeled in his fist and unleashed his full strength punch.

It landed in the jaw of one of the men and sent him flying, but then a second man grabbed Adam from behind and restrained him.

The third man punched Adam in the gut.

"Ngh..." Adam kicked the third man away and smashed his head against the face of the second

man.

He was freed again.

With his wings, he started slicing through the army of men, but as soon as they were cut, their wounds mysteriously healed, and they just kept coming.

'They're healing as well?' Adam paled slightly, but he kept cutting them.

He even tried cutting their heads off, but as soon as their heads fell to the ground, their bodies grew another head, and continued attacking without showing any signs of pain or weakness.

At that moment, around a hundred arms flew around him and took a hold of him, pulling his limbs in different directions to completely bind him.

Calamity stood with a grin on his face, the arms growing from his back.

As he was completely bound, the men rushed forward and pummeled Adam with inhumane fury. They seemed like a bunch of zombies, mindlessly attacking without any thought going through their heads.

With his body getting destroyed, Adam coughed out blood and used his Minor Healing to stop most of the bleeding, but his health was dropping dangerous amounts.

[-10 HP]

[-10 HP]

[Adam - HP: 80/1500]

The Originals, who were watching, felt like they were dropping to the pits of hell. They looked

desperate and terrified.

It was over.

The fight was over.

Raquel covered her eyes, hiding the tears that were falling.

Otis averted his gaze, unable to bear the sight of their defeat.

Agnes trembled and looked behind, where her children were sleeping, and closed her eyes.

At that moment, Adam screamed and ripped his arms from the bounds.

As he fell back to the ground, amidst the men, he reeled in his fist and punched through them

all.

With a powerful shockwave caused by the punch, the men got sent flying away, and then Adam stepped forward and stopped only two meters from Calamity, gazing up at him.

Calamity was standing on top of a pile of rubble, a cold look on his eyes, staring down at

Adam.

"Your health is not looking good."

"..." Adam checked his health.

[Adam - HP: 1/1500]

The whole health bar was blinking red.

At this moment, he kind of wished he would've bought some stronger healing spells to

increase his health, but those kinds of spells need a lot of time to chant.

In one-versus-one, using stronger healing spells was impossible.

That's why tanks were incredibly important in protecting the healers during the raids so that

they could use their healing spells to heal the party members.

Calamity picked up a small pebble from the rubble under him and tossed it in his hand.

"This pebble would be strong enough to kill you."

With a flick of a wrist, he threw the pebble at Adam.

Adam didn't move an inch, but the pebble still missed him, as if it phased right through his

forehead.

Motionless!

"Such confidence." Calamity grinned. "You weren't even the slightest bit afraid that you would fail in dodging that? Anyone else in your shoes would've just jumped out of the way."

The men had recovered from the shockwave punch, and were surrounding them like a pack of

hungry wolves.

They were only awaiting Calamity's command.

"These wings are treacherous." Adam looked behind him at his wings, and made them return

to his back. "I've forgotten my roots, y'see."

"?" Calamity frowned.

"I am a tank!" Adam picked up a shield and his greatsword from his inventory.

"Tank's job is to tank damage." Calamity said with a grin. "You can't do that. If you get hit

even once, you're dead."

"I am not your usual tank." Adam said. "Watch and learn."
