Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Be Gentle In Your Approach
SPLURT!

Merlin felt blood hit the side of his face and he raised a brow as he noticed that it wasn’t green. It was red. Merlin turned to the side and saw Morgana with a large gash running across her body.

Huh.

That’s interesting.

The glow on Morgana’s face vanished and Luna wondered what that was. Luna noticed that the mark glowed just before the Mark’s skill activated. Was it some sort of prerequisite that had to be fulfilled before the skill could activate, or was it something that automatically appeared on the face of anyone the skill was being used again?

No, that’s not even the most important question right now. Since when could Mark use a ranged spell like this? Luna didn’t think she had ever seen Mark use a ranged spell before. The closest Mark ever came to a ranged spell was the lightning skill that he used in the assessment yesterday. So how is it that he can suddenly use such a powerful ranged spell!?

It was becoming harder and harder for Luna to just accept Mark’s silence about his abilities. Mark’s powers were too unpredictable and Luna hated not knowing what exactly his powers were. Luna was going to ask Mark again and see if she could drag it out of him.

Morgana fell gently to her knees with her gown pooling around her like a waterfall and sighed as she turned to Merlin with a look of anger in her eyes.

“I will be waiting for you in the cycle when you die, you useless idiot. And when we get to the other side, I am going to kill you all over again for this nonsense. I already knew you would fuck this up, but this is beyond disappointing. Next time, you better make me the servant, idiot.”

Merlin smiled she[ishly and Morgana couldn’t stop herself from smiling as well.

Morgana thought that Merlin looked very cool when throwing all those spells around, but she would never say it. Morgana had always been jealous of Merlin’s connection to magic and she knew that if she had been the one with the power Merlin had, she would not be able to cast that many spells with such a limited amount of mana. Merlin had fought like a warrior, and Morgana was proud of him. But she would never tell him that. He was an idiot as far as she was concerned.

Merlin flopped back with his hands spread as he watched Morgana turn into golden light and vanish from the rooftop.

“Ah, she’s really pissed.”

[This is a broadcast to all participants in the Game of Gods.]

[The master of servant BISHOP [Morgana] has been eliminated from the game by Servant PAWN. Servant PAWN has gained a twelve-hour non-aggression benefit. No servant-master pair is allowed to approach or attack Servant PAWN during the non-aggression period. Servant PAWN is not allowed to approach or attack a servant-master pair anytime during the non-aggression period. If Servant PAWN attacks another servant-master pair during this period, the non-aggression benefit is revoked.]

[Servant Bishop is free of a master and now has twenty-four hours before he will be eliminated from the game. If he can find a new master within that period, his elimination will be revoked.]

[Servant Bishop’s territory has been confiscated from him and will be passed on to the servant PAWN as a spoil-of-war. The territory will remain as the BISHOP territory even after the exchange.]

…

“Uhm, can you carry me normally?”

“Shut up.”

Mark was dragging Merlin by his arm as they walked through the hallway of a hotel located in Saitama. Merlin was still tired from his fight and he told Mark that he couldn’t walk yet, so Mark just grabbed Merlin and started to drag him across the floor like a sack.

The hotel was one of the last buildings left standing after the fight that Mark and Merlin just finished and Mark was surprised that this hotel was even left standing at all.

Mark looked to the left and he saw two children huddled in the corner of the hallway. They were holding each other tightly and there was blood all over their bodies as they watched Mark with fear in their eyes. Mark only looked at them for a few seconds before he turned away and continued to walk down another hallway. They weren’t his concern.

“Hey, are you here alone? Where’s your mama and papa?”

Mark heard Luna’s voice from behind him and he turned around to see her talking to the two little kids. She was smiling at them kindly and the kids were absolutely stunned by her beauty. They looked at her with stars in their eyes and listened attentively to everything she said, and they didn’t even suspect her for a moment when she told them to head down to the ground floor where they would meet some nice policemen who were rescuing civilians.

Even though it looked funny for her to be talking to kids while wearing a bunny outfit and a bulletproof vest, her beauty was so stunning that it made her outfit irrelevant.

“Arigatou beautiful Onee-Sama!”

The two children were smiling widely as they ran down the hall after Luna was done talking to them and Mark just shook his head at the innocence of children. Did they forget that they were scared just a moment ago?

Luna waved to the children kindly. She could understand and speak the basics of Japanese from her time in Kyoto as well as all the anime that she has watched in her life, so she answered back that they were welcome in Japanese.

“You didn’t have to help them. This isn’t our world, so it doesn’t concern us.”

Mark spoke to Luna as he continued walking again and Luna came to walk beside him with her hands held behind her. She smiled at him and spoke kindly.

“Does it matter what world we’re in? They looked lonely, so I helped them. That is all there is to it.”

Mark gave Luna a curious side glance before he turned the corner of the hallway.

“You have a thing for strays, don’t you?”

Luna smiled.

“Maybe I do.”

He finally reached what looked like a residential room and he opened it to reveal a large penthouse that was mostly untouched by the carnage from outside. There were only a few broken tables and vases that fell to the ground during the earthquakes. For the most part, the house looked fine.

“We’re staying here. Come on.”

Mark dragged Merlin into the room and threw him to the couch in the middle of the room. There was a dining table beside the sitting room and Mark went over and sat down on a chair there while taking off his singlet. Luna saw Mark undressing and a blush appeared on her face as she immediately took a step back from him.

“What are you doing here!?”

Mark rolled his shoulder while raising his brow at her.

“My singlet is shredded. I need to get something new to wear.”

“O-Oh, yes, that’s right. I also need something new. I’ll go see if I can find something to wear inside. There should be some clothes left here by the hotel.”

Luna was about to walk into the inner room, but Mark suddenly got up and obstructed her way and Luna’s heart skipped three beats as she looked up at him. Her blush deepened as she saw him staring down at her.

“What is it? What now?”

“Stay still, I need to take off that vest.”

Mark put his hand on Luna’s chest to deactivate the [Armour of Ares] and Luna immediately shuffled back and crossed her arms across her chest.

“Wait! We need to talk about this! I know you don’t mean anything by it, but it’s rude to just touch a woman’s chest like that! At least don’t just reach for it like a brute! Be more gentle, alright!”

“I was gentle.”

“W-What? That isn’t what I was talking about! Your hands might be gentle, but your approach wasn’t!”
