Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Master-Servant Contract
“That’s the best I could find in a dark color. All the others are too bright, and I know you’ll hate them.”

Mark just decided to bite the bullet and wear the shirt Luna brought for him. It was better than nothing. Luna was wearing a pair of tight blue jeans that did wonderful things for her ass and an off-shoulder shirt that was one size too large for her. She tied the lower part of the loose shirt around her waist to prevent it from flowing around excessively, but it just made her look even sexier as it hugged her body and made her breasts protrude from the fabric perfectly.

“Pfft!”

Mark put on the shirt that Luna found, and Luna put a hand to her mouth to stop the laugh that wanted to come out as she saw him glare down at the shirt in irritation. She walked up to him and started to help him with the buttons while chuckling at his discomfort.

“Don’t look so downcast. I think you wear it very well. You look very handsome in grey and red.”

“I feel like a sick unicorn barfed on me.”

Luna could no longer hold her laugh in, and she put her hand to her stomach as she laughed while turning away from Mark. Her laugh was like a melody, and Mark couldn’t stop the small smile that tugged at the side of his mouth as he watched her trying to hold her laughter back.

“You… haha… you really hate bright colors, don’t you?”

Luna tried her best to stop her laughter and she cleaned her eye with the back of her hand as she finally started to calm down. Mark just felt his eyes twitch before he sighed to the side with a small smile on his face. He wasn’t going to spend the whole time complaining, so he decided that he would just bear with this outfit for now.

“You know, you two look very close from where I’m sitting. Are you sure you haven’t caught anything, boy?”

Luna stopped laughing and looked at Merlin in confusion as she heard what he said, and Mark just shrugged as he dragged his seat closer and sat backward in it to face Merlin. Merlin gave Mark a coy look and wiggled his eyebrow suggestively, and Mark ignored the idiot as he turned to Luna and told her to sit down as well. Luna leaned against the couch that Merlin was in and Mark faced the both of them seriously.

“We need a plan of action going forward. We have half a day right now because of the non-aggression pact from the system, so we can use some of that to rest. But after the twelve hours are over, there will definitely be another participant coming for us.”

“But isn’t it fine now? You should be able to recover by the time the twelve hours are up, and Merlin’s injuries shouldn’t be that serious by tomorrow.”

Luna spoke up as she analyzed the situation, and she turned around when she heard Merlin hum from behind her.

“My injuries are already healed.”

Luna was surprised and she leaned back to get a better look at Merlin. Her eyes immediately widened as she saw Merlin’s injuries had all been perfectly healed. There was still some green blood on the seat, but that was all. Merlin himself looked fine.

Merlin shrugged when Luna cast a questioning gaze at him.

“Don’t look at me like I’m some freak of nature. My injuries always heal once I recover enough mana, and I have the highest mana recovery rate known to any world as far as I know. If not for the restrictions placed on me by this game, I would’ve been healing my injuries the moment I got them. Wait, can’t you do this?”

Luna immediately shook her head as she knew there was no way in the world her mana would be able to heal something like what Merlin went through as quickly as Merlin was healing them. Merlin hummed before he just shrugged.

“Well, it’s understandable. Your magic is more specifically utilized than mine, so there won’t be any room for mana regen in there either.”

Mark suddenly chimed into the conversation.

“While we’re at it, let’s sign the contract.”

Merlin sighed at Mark’s pushy attitude before he just put his hand out to Luna. Luna looked down at Merlin’s hand in distrust as she wondered what was going on. She looked at Merlin and asked what contract he was talking about and Mark told her that Merlin would join them and sign a contract with her. That way, she would have two servants in the next fight. Luna quickly understood what Mark was talking about and she wasted no time before taking Merlin’s hand.

[The Servant BISHOP is attempting to sign a Servant-Master contract with the Master of PAWN.]

[If this contract is signed, the Master of PAWN will become the master of PAWN and BISHOP and all the attributes held by the Master of BISHOP shall be passed on to the Master of PAWN.]

[Does the Master of PAWN accept the Servant BISHOP’s offer?]

Luna heard all of this inside her own head and she just nodded her head to give her consent for the transfer, and she was immediately stunned by the new amount of information that flooded her brain.

…

[The Bishop is the most magically gifted piece, as well as the piece with the lowest defense among all the chess pieces.]

[Benefits]

i. The Bishop will be granted a 200% boost to their current magic capacity.

ii. The Bishop is allowed to use all attacking and defensive spells in their arsenal.

iii. The Bishop’s master is allowed to share their mana with the bishop to boost the Bishop’s mana capacity.

iv. The Bishop is allowed to mark one area within his territory to transport himself or his master once every day.

[Debuffs]

i. All defensive spells, skills, or abilities will only function at 50% of their full capacity.

ii. Once outside their territory, the Bishop will receive a 10% reduction in all abilities.

…

Luna was immediately shocked by the buffs and debuffs that she saw the bishop had. So that is why Luna felt such a massive drain on her mana when Mark entered the bishop’s territory. When Mark drew on her mana, he was using the bishop’s authority.

Merlin, meanwhile, whistled as he felt Luna’s mana for the first time. He knew that Luna’s mana couldn’t compare to his or Morgana’s by a long shot. Not only was it not as pure, but it was also far lower in quantity. But that did not mean that it was bad. It was only because Merlin and Morgana had such superior mana that Luna’s mana seemed subpar. In truth, after taking into consideration all the restrictions that were placed on him by this game, Merlin could tell that Luna had more mana than he did right now.
