Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Celestial Fury
The girl’s smile only widened even more as she heard Mark saying this and she laughed loudly as she felt gladness in her heart for the first time since she gained her powers! This was it! He was definitely the one that she had been looking for all this time! He was the one who would give her everything she ever wanted!

“Please don’t disappoint me, GHOST! Give me everything you promised me and more! Don’t you dare chicken out from my passion! CELESTIAL FURY!!”

It was as though Zeus himself had descended upon the land of mortals! There was a brief moment when everything went silent. The entire world quieted down as a vacuum of black matter encased the world in its embrace, but it wasn’t long before the true skill struck!

WOOOOSHHHH!!!

KA-BOOOMMMM!!!

A massive explosion that destroyed the entire forest and evaporated all the moisture in the air at the same time echoed through the area. Blue lightning streaked from the sky in continuous intervals, destroying the spot where Mark had been standing over and over again, reducing the ground there to nothing but dust, soot, and glass!

And in the middle of all this, Mark stood! The girl knew that Mark was in there! She could see him standing in the middle of her lightning and she sent even more of it towards him as she destroyed the area where he was standing completely!

BOOOM!

A massive explosion rocked that area and the girl finally brought her hand down as she didn’t see any movement from inside the large dust cloud that had risen from those explosions. Did she win? Was it over? The girl had a frown on her face as she stared at the spot where Mark had been standing. There was a deep sea of anticipation in her heart as she watched to see if Mark survived that skill or not. But the anticipation was slowly extinguished as she didn’t see any movement from the dust cloud. Don’t tell me that he really died. Is this really all he had? Sadness began to bloom inside of her as she felt disappointed.

WOOSH!

But all of a sudden, her eyes widened as she saw Mark crouching in front of her! What! Where did he come from!? How did he get here!? I didn’t even see him move!!

Mark was holding his fist back, and his head was lowered as he stared straight at the girl’s midsection! The girl immediately tried to jump back to get away from whatever Mark was planning to do, but she couldn’t even try to get away fast enough as Mark planted his feet and took in a deep breath as he released his punch!

Phwoom!

The critical hit skill was something that Mark had already mastered. Even though Mark couldn’t forcefully raise the percentage of him getting the hit every time, he was capable of knowing exactly when the skill would be activated and he could plan his fight around that knowledge and make his enemy let down their guard before he released the skill.

But now, after feeling the speed that this girl had, Mark had become capable of taking that ability one step further. The critical hit skill always required contact with a solid object in order for it to be activated. The skill could only be activated after a number of consecutive hits have been carried out. But while fighting against this girl and moving so fast that it almost seemed like they were flying through the air, Mark was able to figure out the precise speed needed in order for him to compress the air in front of his fist and fool his system into thinking that he had struck a solid object.

So now, not only could Mark simply strike the air fast enough to make it seem like he was striking something solid, but he could fool his system into thinking that he had struck something solid and increase how quickly the critical hit skill would be activated.

This new technique was born from Mark’s own ingenuity, and he decided that he would call it [Sonic Impact].

The girl’s eyes were wide in shock as she almost seemed to be jumping back in slow motion, and Mark smiled roguishly. Mark couldn’t help but be grateful to her. It was a fucking good fight.

[Sonic Impact]!!

[Critical Hit]!!

Mark’s fist lashed out at lightning speed and slammed into the girl’s stomach!

“HHNNGGHHH!!!”

A massive wave of wind blew out from the space behind the girl’s back as the trees and forest remaining after the CELESTIAL FURY were obliterated and sent flying into the ocean on the other side of the forest!

The girl’s eyes widened in shock and pain as Mark’s punch threw all the wind right out of her lungs! Once Mark drew back his hand, she immediately fell to her knees and puked a large pool of blood on the floor!

“Blergh!! Hah~! Hah~!”

Mark watched her for a few moments and he figured that she would be fine. Mark didn’t really hit her with his Critical Hit. He was able to strike the air just a few millimeters away from her stomach, so it only looked like he hit her. That was why she didn’t fly away after the punch hit; most of it was diverted to the side and away from her so she wouldn’t die. The only thing that really hit her was the air pressure from his strike and nothing else.

“Hah~! Hah~! Hah~! Hah~!”

The girl started to breathe heavily as she cleaned her mouth of the blood, and Mark finally decided to check her profile using his True Sight skill. Her energy was completely spent, so she was unlikely to attack Mark again. She was probably out of mana, so there was no need for him to keep fighting her. That would just be bullying at this point.

…

Mission success: Defeat the child of Zeus.

Reward:

+100 skill points

You have gained one loyal subordinate.

…

Immediately after the fight ended and before Mark could even check her profile, Mark got his rewards from the system mission that appeared earlier. He looked through it curiously and wondered why they said that he now had a loyal subordinate. Does this mean that the girl is loyal to him now, or is there another subordinate that Mark would get as a reward? There is no way that this girl would want anything to do with him after everything that he just put her through. He pummeled her like she was an anima and they are saying that she would be loyal to him now?

For some reason, Mark could feel himself getting worried the more he thought about it.
