Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Why Aren’t They Reducing!?
Before Mark could think more about that, he was suddenly assaulted with a loud sound like metal grinding on stone as the monsters came through the darkness and spilled into the cavern like a tsunami! There were hundreds of them and Mark could literally feel the nervousness from the people around him as they all saw the monsters.

Mark could only describe the monsters as rabid zombies. They were all shriveled up with dried skin and protruding bones, but there was no doubt that they were humanoid creatures. They had milky white eyes and black nails that gleamed in the dim light of the cavern.

Mark immediately tried to use True Sight on the monsters, but he cursed as he remembered that he hadn’t picked that skill to use. He was going to have to go in blind then!

“Yarghhhh!!!”

The group of prisoners charged at the monsters before the monsters got to them and Mark watched as the one-eyed woman raised her sword in the air and ran towards the zombies like a bat out of hell! Mark also joined the charge and ran towards the monsters. The chains on his hands were a little restricting, but they didn’t prevent him from fighting properly, so he decided that he would ignore them for now.

Slash! Squelch! Slash!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The sound of shouting and fighting resounded across the cavern as Mark got to a monster and delivered a devastating punch to its chest!

Boom!

The monster flew towards the other end of the cavern and slammed into the wall before falling to the ground like a ragdoll! But it slowly twitched before it stood back up and started to come toward the group again.

‘Are these fuckers immortal?’

Mark ducked under a swipe from another monster and the monster overstepped and stumbled forward! Mark used that opportunity to wrap his chain around the monster’s head and bring it up to his rising knee!

[Critical Strike]!

Slam!

Mark crushed the monster’s face with his knee, and he was surprised when he saw the monster crumple to the ground. It didn’t get back up, and Mark quickly charged for a new batch of monsters! He slammed his leg into the shin of one of them, and once it fell to the ground, he smashed its head in with extreme force! The monster flew back a few meters before it stood back up and charged in again.

Mark turned to the monster at his side and slammed his fist into its stomach.

[Critical Strike]!

Boom!

The monster’s stomach blew apart and it immediately fell to the ground and died. Mark took a few steps back towards the wall of the cave to prevent the monsters from surrounding him and he eyed all of them analytically as he started to understand how strong they were. Each of them was at least as strong as an S rank. Or no, that would be the wrong way to quantify their strength. It was more sensible to say that they had the defense of an S rank.

When Mark used his regular S rank strength to fight against the monsters, they were able to tank it and come back, but when his Blunt Force Trauma skill kicked in, the monsters could not withstand the force and they crumble. Mark has never been more grateful for his good luck than at that moment. He could work with this.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

[Critical Strike]!

Bam! Bam!

[Critical Strike]!

Bam!

[Critical Strike]!

Bam!

Mark started to unleash a flurry of quick jabs that pushed the monsters away from him. Mark’s brows were furrowed in concentration as he adopted a perfect boxing stance and delivered one punch per zombie, making sure that they were kept at arm’s length from him at all times. Mark still didn’t know what would happen to you if the monsters touched you or bit you, but Mark was not interested in finding out.

Bam!

[Critical Strike]!

Something was wrong.

Bam! Bam!

[Critical Strike]!

Bam! Bam!

Mark could tell that he was cutting their numbers down. He has killed more than fifty of them already.

[Critical Strike]!

Bam!

[Critical Strike]!

Bam!

So why the hell weren’t they reducing at all?

[Lightning surge]!

Mark put his glove out and he watched a massive bolt of lightning spread across the entire room and throw all the monsters away from him. He jumped away from the position that he was standing in and tried to get a better look around the room. There were fights happening at almost every corner of the enclosure and Mark could see that one-eyed woman that spoke to him before cutting down a group of zombies that were trying to surround her and one other fighter. She must be pretty strong if she can cut down S-rank zombies that easily.

But the thing that really drew his attention was the sheer number of zombies still pouring into the cavern. There were more zombies coming into the cavern than they were able to kill, so it felt like for every zombie they killed, two more would take their place. It was overwhelming.

“Ah! Ahhh! Help me!!”

Crunch!

Squelch!

A shout drew Mark’s attention and Mark turned around to see one of the prisoners getting surrounded by zombies. He tried his best to get the monsters away from him, but he was not fast enough and he ended up getting overwhelmed by them. The zombies wasted no time as they tore him apart and started to eat him on the spot. Well, at least Mark now knew what would happen to him if he was caught by the zombies.

‘Will Full Body Constitution be able to stop that?’

Maybe it would be best for him to meet up with the others and fight together. Fighting alone will only lead to him being overwhelmed by the zombies. Mark shifted his trajectory and landed close to the one-eyed woman and her companion.

[Critical Strike]!

Boom!

Mark slammed his feet into a group of monsters and blew them away as he joined the group. The one-eyed woman glanced at Mark in shock before she nodded at him and turned back to the zombies.

The woman spoke up as she stabbed a zombie in the chest.

“You’re still alive with no weapons!? That’s impressive!”

Mark responded as he got into a fighting stance.

“I fight best without any weapons. Aim for their heads, they’re weak there.”

“Sure!”

Slash! Slash! Slash!

[User has gained allies in the fight. The effects of [He Who Perseveres Through Hell] have been activated. The user has gained a 10% increase in all stats. The two allies have gained a 20% increase to their base stats.]

The three of them suddenly felt their strength increase drastically as they wielded their weapons more easily and cut through the zombies faster. Mark grinned as he saw the message from the system and he decided that he would have to find out the criteria for activating this skill permanently soon. Having a lot of allies fighting with him would make him much stronger and Mark was going to take advantage of that!
