Monster Hunter Gathering

Chapter 247 Adam's Hammer's Crushing Battle

The dragon-strike cannon in the gunpowder exploded as David controlled it.

The dragon-strike cannon, which was made by imitating the monster's breath principle, burst out with powerful propulsion force, making David's body fly into the sky in an instant.

“Adam hammers ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

David roared and turned into a meteor in the sky above Night City, rushing towards Adam's hammer.

And at this moment... in the Arasaka factory, Mann and others have already taken over the factory with their sophisticated technology.

"Something really went wrong in Arasaka." Pyrrha was standing next to the conveyor belt, spinning a few factory parts in her hands. "It was solved so easily..."

"There's really not even a single support." Dolio also showed a little surprise: "What on earth happened..."

"Why worry about so much? We just took out a shabby Arasaka factory. Arasaka doesn't even know who we are. How can they handle so many mercenaries?" Pyrrha showed a nonchalant expression. "Could it be that Adam Hammer from Arasaka who will take care of us personally?"

"Hey! What bullshit are you talking about, brother?" Rebecca was unhappy and argued with her brother: "What's wrong with Adam's hammer? He's just a white guy with prosthetics..."

Before Rebecca could finish her words, an unusual sound was heard from the roof of the factory.

In just the next moment, the roof of the parts factory suddenly shattered, and from among the fragments fell a monster made almost entirely of steel.

Adam Heavy Hammer's metal body fell to the ground like a meteorite. The factory roof, which was more than ten meters high, turned into a large number of fragments under the vibration of the shock wave, and the steel skeleton broke like a dead branch.

Mann's team only had time to avoid the larger fragments and retreat far back, and then they saw the man-made steel statue falling from the sky and standing in the huge pit.

Arasaka Tech's totem of violence—an alloy exoskeleton encasing a 96% mechanized body, its armor seams exposed by tangled cooling tubes like bulging mechanical blood vessels. Only a trace of humanity remained on the head, a scarlet prosthetic eye burning with the cold glow of data streams in its grooves.

This is a steel coffin, prepared for the legends of Night City.

"A bunch of...fucking little rats."

Adam Hammer scoffed and glanced at the Mann team present. "A bunch of garbage that's not even an appetizer..."

"Ha... Looks like I can put on a good show with you guys, but I don't need that many people." Adam's prosthetic eye finally locked onto Lucy: "One will be enough."

"Damn it! You stinky brother, you really should drink some toilet water to wash your mouth!!" Rebecca cursed out loud.

"Don't just stand there! Do it!" Mann roared, "If we don't, we'll all die here!"

"Fuck! Is this a boss spawn?!" Pyrrha had just pulled out the electromagnetic mine when her entire right hand suddenly fell—the weapon in Adam's hand directly shattered his prosthetic! Pyrrha could only watch as black smoke emanated from her palm with a "sizzle" sound, and her newly installed prosthetic hand was completely scrapped.

Rebecca's temper exploded: "Fuck you!"

Holding a large firepower weapon that was somewhat disproportionate to her body size, Rebecca almost failed to hold down the weapon, but she still fired the bullet at Adam Hammer. However, Adam Hammer was too lazy to even move and just took the heavy firepower attack.

The rest of Mann's team also took action.

Mann's titanium gauntlet struck Adam's chest first, the recoil cracking his arm bones. But the black mech didn't even stagger. Instead, it raised its hand and fired a shot at Dolio's mounted machine gun, sending flying metal fragments tearing bloody marks across her face.

Mann's face was distorted as Adam's sledgehammer broke his shoulder bones, and then he was kicked in the stomach and flew into the air.

Rebecca changed her position after the failed shooting. The gun barrel was still smoking, but Adam's hammer appeared in front of her without her knowing when. He smashed three of her ribs with one punch, and her petite body fell into the pile of spare parts behind her.

Pila pulled out a knife and slashed at Adam with a hammer, but he raised his hand to grab the blade. The hydraulic joints made a beast-like roar, and then Pila flew backwards. Qiwei's hacking skills had just broken through the triple firewall, but she found that the other party had already started to counterattack. The next moment, she fell to her knees, and blood spurted from her nose and bloomed on the ground.

Falco, who was in charge of meeting people outside the factory, had noticed something was wrong, so he simply drove his car in through the factory gate.

The armored vehicle's engine roared in death, and Falco swerved the steering wheel in an attempt to ram it. Adam overturned the three-ton vehicle with one hand, knocking Falco and the armored vehicle over.

Lucy's single-molecule wire gleamed in the rain, wrapping around the mech's neck as the silver-haired girl was suddenly yanked into the air. Adam's crimson prosthetic eye pressed against her pale face, his mechanical fingers pinching her carotid artery as the muffled sound of Mann smashing through a concrete wall echoed in the distance.

"You are the one."

Adam Hammer stared at Lucy in front of him: "Hmm?"

Adam's Hammer's scan quickly discovered the modifications on Lucy's body, as well as traces of Arasaka Corporation on Lucy's body.

"It turned out to be Arasaka's doll... The mining card that was supposed to be used to death actually ran out by itself." Adam Hammer gave a mocking smile, with Lucy's single molecule line still stuck around his neck.

But as Adam's hammer moved, the single-molecule line not only did not cut off Adam's hammer's neck, but instead cut off Lucy's fingers as it gradually tightened.

"In that case, I'll let you play your final role." Adam pinched Lucy's neck with a heavy hammer, and the turret on his shoulder was already erected, aiming at the other members of Mann's team around him.

He planned to blow these extra guys to death.

"You...you came here because of me?" Lucy squeezed out these words with difficulty.

Was his previous identity discovered by Arasaka? That's why Adam Hammer came back?

Fortunately... David is not here now, Doc might go to save him...

"A mining card? What a joke." Adam Heavy Hammer laughed disdainfully: "Heh... If I tear you apart in front of those people next time, you should be able to play a greater role than the mining card."

"!"

Lucy's eyes widened, unable to believe what she heard.

If it wasn't because of me? Then why did Adam Heavy Hammer...

At this moment in the sky, another explosion mixed with roars was approaching rapidly.

"Adam Hammer!!!"

"I'm going to shove this gun... back up your ass!!!!"

Chapter 248 Furious David

"!"

Lucy's brain completely shut down after hearing David's voice.

David? Why is David's voice here?

He had clearly seen the scene on Arasaka Corporation's intelligence network where David was seriously injured by some unknown monster, and even his arm was broken.

That's why I sent David's location and situation to Doc, whom David knew, hoping that he could help David... But why is David here now?

Could it be that Doc had already saved David? Even installed a new prosthetic for David? How could that be possible… If he had the skills, he wouldn't be working as a prosthetic doctor while selling that Mewtwo.

No, after all, it is very strange that Adam Heavy Hammer appears here. According to common sense, guys like them shouldn't let Adam Heavy Hammer show up on his own initiative... And how did Adam Heavy Hammer know the location of them?

Lucy soon figured out why.

It was because after seeing David's message, I copied the information about David and sent it to Doc.

It was he who brought down Adam's hammer.

After thinking about this, Lucy's mind was completely confused.

Self-loathing filled Lucy's heart in an instant.

No one here can stand up to Adam Slammer... Adam Slammer is a true living legend in Night City.

He is the living tombstone of all the legends in Night City. There are the most legends in the Night City cemetery, and the person who has killed the most legends... is Adam Hammer.

Or in other words, among those legends, many people are called legends because they died at the hands of Adam's hammer.

It has been like this since decades ago...

The Arasaka Group's iron fist, the pinnacle of cyborg technology, is the coldest symbol in all the legends of Night City - an existence completely alienated by machinery and violence.

A walking war machine, 96% mechanical, every inch of it embodied by the company's will: sleepless, devoid of emotion, even its desires precisely programmed to kill. This monster is, in a sense, the embodiment of corporate power in Night City, the ultimate enforcer of Night City's law of the jungle.

Everyone in Mann's team, herself... and David who is rushing over now, will all be killed by the monster Adam's hammer.

Lucy's eyes had dimmed at this moment. Her hand, whose fingers had been cut by her own single-molecule wire, hung down, and dark red blood dripped onto the ground, leaving bloodstains.

At this moment, David, who had rushed to the scene after several moves due to the blast, fell directly from the sky towards the factory.

His brain became a little dizzy because of the Swansea Weston-like state. Blood flowed out of his nose and was then dried by the strong wind generated by the movement, but David finally arrived at the factory before Mann's team and Lucy got into trouble.

The seventeen-year-old boy, who looked much shorter than Adam's hammer, was smashing down from the sky with a force no less powerful than Adam's hammer.

David was wearing a dark red leather armor at the moment, and the weapon in his hand did not look like it was made by a machine at all.

It was a weapon that looked more like it was made of the bones and shells of something, and one could even vaguely feel whether the weapon was breathing.

David landed on the ground, and the huge impact created a hole in the factory floor that was no smaller than Adam's hammer.

After David landed, the first thing he saw was Mann's team, all of whom were seriously injured, and Lucy, who was being strangled by Adam's hammer and even her fingers were cut off by the single-molecule wire.

Anger filled David's mind almost instantly.

"Where did you get this rotten meat from?"

Adam Hammer glanced at David and asked, "Are you one of those hunters?"

Adam Hammer did not recognize David's identity.

After all, Adam Hammer had no idea about the relationship between Mann's team and Lucy and David.

He only came here because he received an order from Arasaka, to capture someone and use him as a threat to deal with the Hunter.

He didn't care which hunters would come, nor did he care what the hunters would do.

Having been the absolute force in Night City for a long time, Adam Hammer didn't think these hunters who suddenly appeared could really threaten him...

"Adam hammer you f**k! What have you done to them all!"

The veins on David's forehead bulged, and he stared at Adam as he walked towards him step by step with his hammer.

"I was just looking for you guys." Adam Hammer still pinched Lucy's neck and stared at David who was walking towards him: "The weapon you are holding... makes me feel very uncomfortable."

When Adam Chongchui saw the rifle in David's hand, he remembered the boy wearing a strange mask who had fought with him in the Ganbi Building.

At that time, Adam used a heavy hammer to make sure that he had crushed the opponent's spine and stomach, and also used a shotgun to blow up the opponent's head.

But now another guy came out with the same weapon, making Adam Hammer want to kill him right away.

"Let her go! You mechanical bastard!" David walked up to Adam Hammer, staring at him with his head tilted up. "I'm going to tear you apart alive! And then turn you into a toilet in Night City's public restroom!"

"You little brat, stop trying to act so arrogantly here."

Adam grabbed Lucy's neck with his hammer without any hesitation, swung her up like a weapon, and smashed her towards David.

No matter whether David blocked or dodged, Lucy would be turned into a pile of meat paste by this violent swing.

This was also the bloody opening greeting between Adam Hammer and David.

But... facing Lucy who was being hit by Adam's sledgehammer, David chose to catch Lucy's body with his own body without hesitation, and then used his head to hold up the mechanical arm of Adam's sledgehammer.

The mechanical arm of Adam's sledgehammer hit David's head, causing his skull and head to be dented downwards to the point where his brain was smashed out, and it was impossible for a normal person to survive. After Lucy was taken into David's arms, she saw David's skull that was dented by Adam's sledgehammer, and she was on the verge of despair.

But just when Adam Hammer thought David was just another idiot and was about to kill everyone else present, he felt his mechanical arm being supported by a strange force.

Under the gaze of everyone here, a scene beyond their common sense appeared.

The young man, whose face and skull were smashed and even his brains were smashed out, was holding Lucy with one hand and grabbing the mechanical arm of Adam's hammer with the other hand. With a teeth-grinding mechanical sound, he lifted up the arm of Adam's hammer.

And under the mechanical arm, David's head was like a devil, and his body was twisting and recovering rapidly.

The Devil Series Equipment—hunter's gear crafted from the flesh, blood, and skeletal shell of Muzan. Its only enhancement for hunters is its incredibly strong physical recovery ability...

"Fuck you, Adam Hammer! Do you still remember me?" David stared at Adam Hammer with his reborn ferocious face: "Just wait until I turn you into a toilet in Night City!!!"

Chapter 249 David's Confession 1

"Standing across from me, you actually have the nerve to talk nonsense?"

At the same time that David was saying those words to Adam Hammer, Adam Hammer raised his other robotic arm while he was looking at David, and pointed a shotgun (the full three words are blocked words, and will be replaced by shotgun from now on) at David and Lucy in his arms, shooting at them both without mercy.

David entered a state similar to Swansea almost in an instant, then turned around and used his back to block the shot from Adam's hammer. The shotgun bullets that were embedded in David's back were quickly squeezed out by David's flesh almost after causing damage to his back.

That is similar to Muzan's recovery ability. It is an extreme product made by the blacksmith Felynn after the Goblin series equipment abandoned other skills and characteristics and was completely used for physical recovery.

"David, run." Lucy said this while being held in David's arms: "That's Adam's Hammer, you...you have nothing to do with these things, you..."

"It's okay, Lucy."

David turned his back to Adam and held Lucy tightly. "I will turn Night City... into a moon where you can live well."

"I will realize your dream. I will realize your real dream." David placed one hand gently on the back of Lucy's neck and touched the modified hacker interface.

Those are the marks of transformation left by Arasaka Corporation on Lucy's body.

It is because she feels that every place in this world is hell that she has the idea of ​​going to the moon.

So David wants to fulfill her real wish.

Lucy widened her eyes in disbelief: "How did you know..."
