Until a moment ago, Oskar had been in the majority. True, Adam and Katrin disagreed with him, but he still had three loyal companions who would definitely follow his orders and head for the safe zone.
Four fairly strong Phantoms were more than enough to get out of this part of the Fallen Crypt, especially when there was one support with healing abilities among them.
But... just then, everything changed. Osana going from one side to the other was much more critical than if Erla or Lero had done it.
Moreover, there was no way Oskar could stick to his original plan now because there were too few enemies.
There was only one Gray Stalker and one Scarlet Pyromancer against them, and they had Adam on their side who was capable of killing a Top-2 monster, so... they had a serious advantage in strength.
Burning Osana with his gaze and clutching his sword tightly, Oskar gritted his teeth and said:
"Osana, after this mission, we will have a serious talk." Oskar said seriously, with great reluctance gradually agreeing to their terms.
"Sure." Osana calmly replied. She wasn't afraid of sanctions from Oskar, to her this situation was a simple transaction. She had exchanged Oskar's respect for Adam's one it was a favorable trade.
Then, Oskar looked at the remaining Gray Stalker.
"Fine, let's kill him, then you quickly finish off Scarlet Pyromancer and we'll be done with this shitty situation." Oskar snorted before stepping forward, confidently heading towards Gray Stalker.
Adam nodded and cast a glance at Osana.
"Don't expect me to thank you, it's obvious even to a child that you didn't do this for us but for yourself." Adam said calmly, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Osana touched her pink lips with her little finger and smiled slightly.
"Sure, but whatever you say now doesn't matter, because what I did will forever be etched in your memory and have the appropriate effect."
Adam raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised.
"Damn, you're not even hiding your intentions. Well, I won't deny that I look at you differently now, but don't jump to conclusions." Adam calmly replied, following Oskar's lead.
"Katrin come on. It's time to kill the Scarlet Pyromancer and get a new Initial Gene, isn't it?"
Katrin looked up at him as her eyes sparkled with excitement.
'I see... So that's how big the difference between levels is, right? The head of the weakest monster of the Purple Threat Level would have exploded from my kick, that's for sure, but it had a weaker effect on him than a simple slap. Damn, and that's just the physical stats. Unbelievable.'
Adam pondered while Gray Stalker's jaw opened wide in front of his face. The teeth were sharp and long, about to sink into Adam's neck.
'Hmm... His hide is as tough as his whole body, but...' Adam muttered internally directing his gaze to the Gray Stalker's long ears, 'Inside we're all weak and vulnerable, both physically and mentally.'
Whoooooooooooooooooooosh.
Adam's back arched backwards causing his bones forcing his bones to emit an active cracking sound. Gray Stalker had no time to react and change the trajectory of its attack, so the monster's open jaw swept over Adam's head.
Then, Adam's arms came in motion quickly heading for Gray Stalker's head. He blasted the man's head once with his powerful palms, but he realized that against Gray Stalker, it was impossible to do so.
His palms wouldn't be able to inflict even the slightest damage to the monster's thick hide, let alone explode Gray Stalker's head.
But... Adam's goal was something else.
Crackle.
Adam thrust his middle fingers perpendicularly forward before plunging them into Gray Stalker's ears reaching for the monster's brain.
Two streams of dark blood rushed out, coating Adam's arms and running down his wrists while Gray Stalker's face squirmed in pain.
It was as if the monster was trying to get rid of the foreign object in its head, but it was too late. Gray Stalker's ears were its weak point, for they were wide open and too close to the brain because of the elongated structure of the skull.
A few drops of blood fell on Adam's calm face as the monster's head was directly above him.
'I guess I should congratulate you. Not many K1-Phantoms have killed Light Yellow Threat Monsters, in a way that's quite an accomplishment.' Silvana said with a slight pride in her voice.
However... Adam did not share her enthusiasm.
"Hm... They're actually strong, but some Essence Thunder Demon would tear apart even ten of them. Gray Stalkers are strong, but they're nothing. I'd say they're just dull and boring opponents." Adam said calmly before pulling his fingers out of the monster's ears and letting its carcass fall to the cold gray ground.
Then, Adam took a step forward and held out his hand with an open palm summoning Revolve.
"It's been a while since I've absorbed any new genes, this should definitely be something new." Adam muttered with a slight smile on his face while Gray Stalker's body trembled slightly.
