Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: You Should Get Some Sleep
“What the fuck?”

Mark couldn’t blame Luna for cursing at that moment as they read what the game sent to them. So, it turns out they weren’t the only ones working hard in this game. There was someone else actively fighting against the other servants and killing them too. Mark was stunned by how quickly the KNIGHT was able to kill the QUEEN and her master, especially after reading who they were. Cleopatra and Julius Caesar were seen as two of the greatest strategists and planners in the world. They hardly went into a battle without knowing what their opponent was capable of and how to defeat them.

So how was the KNIGHT able to defeat both of them at the same time like this? Was it dumb luck, or was the knight just so strong that their plans all failed in front of his strength? If it was the latter, then Mark knew they would have to go forward without a plan. When faced with overwhelming strength, sometimes, it was best to just attack blindly so the opponent does not know how to respond.

Mark could feel his heart rate spiking as he thought about this and he realized with mild shock that he was excited. He wanted to meet the knight. No, not meet. He wanted to fight the knight. Fuck, why the hell am I like this?

A small grin began to spread on Mark’s face.

I feel like jumping out there and finding that fucking knight right now.

“And the stupid game didn’t even tell us who the KNIGHT is after all those messages. This is going to be difficult.”

Luna was frowning in annoyance as she read through the message again and realized that the game never mentioned the KNIGHT’s name or the name of his master. That meant that they would have to go into the battle without knowing anything about their opponent.

Mark also read through the messages while thinking out loud.

“I think it might be best for us to scout the power of the Knight and Rook first before we go ahead and try to attack them. The knight is probably very strong and the rook could be just as strong. I’ll send the wiik-bat out to scout them so that we can come up with a proper plan.”

“Wiik! Wiik!”

The wiik-bat suddenly appeared once Mark called its name and it flew around the room excitedly before finally landing in Luna’s outstretched arm. Luna cooed at the adorable creature before she hugged it tightly as it flapped its wings cutely at her.

“Aww, you’re just the cutest little monster, aren’t you~? Oh yes, you are~! Oh yes, you are~!”

“Wiik! Wiik!”

The wiik-bat cozied into Luna’s breast and even Merlin couldn’t stop the coy grin that appeared on his face as he saw the little thing. That bat was the prime example of an opportunistic pervert.

“You’re really enjoying yourself in there, aren’t you?”

Merlin whispered to the wiik-bat and the wiik-bat released another cute sound while pressing deeper into Luna’s breast. Of course, it was enjoying it!

Mark suddenly stood up and grabbed the wiik-bat by one of its wings.

“Wiik!”

Luna reached out in worry.

“Be gentle with it, Mark!”

Mark just waved her away while glaring at the fucking pervert.

“It’s immortal for a reason, nothing’s going to happen to it. Now, you damn pervert, you have a job to do. You’re going to go to the knight and rook territories and find out whatever you can about them. Send the information to me before morning, do you understand?”

“Wiik! Wiik!”

Flap! Flap! Flap! Flap!

The wiik-bat was flapping its one free wing desperately as it tried to get back to Luna! It completely ignored what Mark told it, and when Mark tried to talk to it again, it huffed and increased its efforts to get away from him. Mark glared at it in annoyance.

[Demonic Killer’s Aura] has been activated.

“I said, do you understand?”

[The opponent has been inflicted with [Fear]]

The wiik-bat saluted!

“WIIK!!”

Mark deadpanned at the bastard. It only agreed to do what I say when I scare it, but it acts like Luna is the most precious thing in the world since water.

This damn pervert.

Mark walked up to the window there, opened it, and tossed the wiik-bat out like trash before closing the window in its face.

“Don’t come back until you find something meaningful! Get out!”

“Wiik! Wiik!”

Mark couldn’t understand what the wiik-bat was saying, but he could tell that it was insulting him in some stupid way. Mark glared at it and the wiik-bat glared right back and used its wings to flip Mark off before it turned and flew off quickly when it noticed that Mark was about to open the window.

“Tch… You’re lucky I can’t fly.”

…

[8 hours before the end of the Non-Aggression period]

That night, after the three of them said their goodnights and separated into different parts of the penthouse to get some rest, Luna was curled up in the living room with the television on. She was sitting on the couch with her hands wrapped around her knees and even though the television was on silent, she was watching it with rapt attention without even blinking once. Anyone who looked at her would immediately know that she was no longer in the present moment. She was lost in thought as she just watched the colors on the television moving.

“Luna. What the hell are you doing awake at this time?”

Luna blinked in surprise as she heard her name being called and she turned around to see Mark standing beside her. Mark was still wearing his Hawaiian shirt along with his joggers and shoes. There was a cup of water in his hand and he drank it all down while waiting for her to give him a response.

They all decided to sleep in their battle-ready outfits so that they could move quickly in case of an emergency. Luna smiled at Mark and Mark raised a brow at the hollow reaction while dropping his cup to the side.

“I tried to sleep but I couldn’t. I don’t know why I’m suddenly like this. It’s been a while since I felt like this.”

Luna finally spoke up and Mark scratched the back of his head in worry as he realised that something was wrong. He couldn’t have his master being this distracted before their next fight. It could end badly if Luna was distracted and they ended up killing her. Mark sat down beside Luna and spoke to her.

“Is it because you don’t have your powers anymore? Are you scared?”

Luna blinked in surprise as everything seemed to become clear in her head. She looked down at her lap for a few seconds before she finally looked at him in realization.

“Yes, I think that is it. I’m just scared. Wow, I almost forgot what this felt like, it’s a surreal feeling.”

It had been years since Luna felt the sensation of fear. Ever since she got her powers, she has never had a reason to be afraid of anyone or anything, she was the predator, and everyone around her were just herbivores as far as she was concerned. But now that she no longer had her powers, she was no longer a predator. She was just a normal human. a herbivorous that could be killed at any moment.
