Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Calamity Class
The soldiers that didn’t have any power all entered the armored tanks, and they began to move some of the tanks away to create a perimeter around this area while the remaining tanks aimed their guns right at the monster in front of them!

Tilda immediately drew her sword and dashed towards the monster! The monster was a fish-human hybrid, just like the one that Tilda killed before, and Tilda was sure that it would have the same strength as the previous one. It would be hard for the other Superhumans to take it on alone, so she would just leave them to handle creating the perimeter while she and Ralph would take care of the monster!

Boom!

A large explosion resounded through the area as one of the armored tanks shot a blast straight at the monster, disorienting it enough to allow Tilda to get close enough and slam her foot into the monster’s face!

Slam!

The kick threw it back for fifty meters before Tilda jumped after it and struck out with her sword to sever its arm that was trying to hit her!

Slash!

Squelch!

The arm flew off easily, and the monster roared in pain as it was pummeled by four more rounds from the armored tanks! Tilda grabbed the arm that she cut and was about to use it to stab down into the monster’s neck to end its life!

Slam!

But before Tilda could get the arm in, the monster used its other hand to slap Tilda away, and she dug a deep crack into the concrete as she slid for more than a hundred meters! She flipped and slammed her feet into the ground to stop herself, and she was about to dash back in, but a flash of lightning at her side made her stop in her tracks as she saw Lightning Rider appearing in front of her.

“Wait, Tilda. Don’t move a muscle. There’s something over there.”

Lightning Rider spoke in a low voice as he stared towards the sea. Anyone who heard him would immediately think that his throat was completely dry from fear! Tilda frowned as she turned in the direction that he was looking in to see what was so important! But Tilda immediately lost her annoyance, and her throat dried up in shock as she saw something that was unbelievable standing in front of the ocean!

Five!

There were four large monsters standing in a straight line in front of the ocean, and in front of them stood a monster that looked more human than any Anima that Tilda had ever seen! The Anima in front of the four large Anima had a humanlike figure, but its body was purple and bulky, and there were armor-like plates on all its joints. It also had an ant’s head, complete with sharp teeth, large eyes, and two long antennae!

It was almost twice as tall as Lightning Rider, but it had a look in its eyes that screamed intelligence! It was surveying the surroundings with this bored, judgmental stare that reminded Tilda too much of what a human’s stare would look like! She knew that this monster was different from any other one she had fought against! Once the Anima turned to look at Tilda and Lightning Rider, they both took steps back because they could feel the power behind that stare!

There was an immeasurable dread that filled both of them, and it almost froze them to their bones! They could immediately sense that this monster was something that they would not want to ever challenge to a fight! This had to be a high Disaster Class monster! No, that was even too low! The monster in front of them had to be a Calamity! It was a country-level calamity!

Tilda’s hand shook as she tried to grip her sword tighter! She couldn’t show fear here! Not when she was the strongest one here! If she showed fear then what will the other’s do!?

“On my signal, run. You need to call for reinforcements. Send out a message to all the guilds. Tell them a calamity is here.”

Tilda muttered through gritted teeth as her hand tightened around her sword! At that moment, Tilda knew that there was nothing any of them could really do against this monster, and they were all going to be killed if they didn’t do something fast. The best they could hope for was for Lightning Rider to send out a message to all the guilds and get them to bring their A ranks here!

Screech!

The ant suddenly released a loud screech in the direction of the two superhumans, and Tilda gave up on staying quiet as she screamed at Lightning Rider to get out of there now! They had no idea what the ant was trying to do here, but they knew that standing there would only end with them dead!

Lightning Rider dashed away from the spot that they were standing in, and in the next moment, he saw two of the four larger monsters appear in front of him! His eyes widened, and his heartbeat started to speed up as he realized that he was really going to die here! There was nothing he could do against monsters like these! He was already too weak to handle a single Disaster class on his own, and now there were two aiming straight for him!? What sort of situation is this!?

“Move out of the way!!”

A shout from the side reached Lightning Rider only a few seconds before a great force slammed into the two monsters that were about to hit him, throwing them to the side. Another superhuman, Blizzard Force, was the one that helped Lightning Rider! The new superhuman was a B-rank female with blue hair and white highlights in her hair. Her white eyes were glowing as she raised her staff in the air and summoned a massive storm that darkened the sky above them!

Her power was focused on the weather, and she had the ability to use various wind and lightning-based skills because she also had a minor blessing from the god of lightning! Lightning streaked across the sky as she conjured up a massive lightning bolt and sent it straight into the direction of the two monsters!

BZZZTTT!!

The lightning bolt struck them head-on, and blue light flashed across the entire area as the massive skill hit them! But as it died down, Blizzard could only take a step back in fear as she saw that the lightning bolt didn’t even do anything to them! They were still on their feet, and the only difference between now and before the lightning bolt hit was that their focus was no longer on Lightning Rider! It was on her!

ROARRRR!!!

…

“I’m telling you guys, GHOST has to be the coolest superhuman in the world. Did you see him on Metube the other day!? He finished off that Disaster class monster like it was nothing and he didn’t even stay back to take an interview! That’s so cool!”

Mark walked into the school cafeteria with his hands in his pocket. Arit was following behind him while looking through some of the books that they were assigned to read today and Mark had to pull her out of the way whenever she was about to hit someone or something from not paying attention to where she was going! Mark pulled out of the way before she hit a table and he guided her towards their table as he heard what someone was shouting. He looked in the direction of the person talking, and he saw that it was Francis and his crew who were sitting together around a table and talking loudly.

Francis was holding onto a phone and watching a video on Metube of a fight that was happening, and once Mark saw it, he immediately recognized the fight! That was the fight that Mark had with a large Disaster class monster a month ago. It was a lion-human hybrid that showed up near the mall, and since Mark was in the area, he decided to kill the monster before it could do too much damage. Mark had no idea that someone was videotaping him when he was fighting! He couldn’t believe people were willing to risk their life like that just to get a video to put up on Metube!
