Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Unparalleled Defense
The wiik-bat suddenly flew to Mark and told him what Luna had told it and Mark immediately changed direction as he bolted towards Luna!

Otsu Miyamoto noticed what was going on a moment before Mark moved and she immediately raced towards Luna with her knife ready to slash through her stomach, but just before she got to Luna, Mark reached Luna first and grabbed her from the side.

Luna held Mark tight and Mark saw Luna’s face twist into a grimace as her wounds were disturbed. He growled in anger at the amount of injuries on her. He knew he shouldn’t have let her fight.

Mark leaned down and whispered in her ear.

“Stop the bleeding first and wait for me. I won’t take long.”

Luna nodded and she heard Mark speak up again.

“Transport.”

Luna quickly vanished in a ray of light as she was teleported away from the scene and Otsu glared in anger as she saw her prey getting away. Mark suddenly flashed forward and lashed out to grab Otsu by the hand and Otsu cried out in pain as she felt her bone crack from Mark’s insane strength! Mark was about to punch Otsu in the face and Otsu’s eyes widened in shock as she saw death coming straight for her!

But Hercules appeared from Mark’s blind side and slammed into Mark before he could hit Otsu.

Bam!

Hercules knew that it would be dangerous to kill Otsu now since he still needed to sign a contract with a master. With the wounds that he saw on Luna, there was a high likelihood that Luna wouldn’t make it due to the amount of blood she was losing, so Hercules had to protect Otsu and sign a contract with her after the Knight died.

Otsu didn’t waste time watching the two monsters clashing. Instead, she turned and ran towards a secluded part of the dome while holding her hand in pain! Hercules headbutted Mark back before kicking him out of the dome to continue their fight.

…

Luna appeared in an apartment building inside the bishop’s territory and she groaned as she grabbed the cabinet beside her to hold herself up! After the knight broadcasted the positions of all the servants, Mark decided that they had to leave the hotel and move to another hideout that would be harder to find. The new hideout was still in the bishop’s territory, but it was a far distance away from the former hotel with many tall buildings surrounding it and preventing anyone from easily locating them.

“Argh!”

Luna’s leg was throbbing in pain and when Luna looked down, she saw that the deep wound there was constantly bleeding. She had to get it cauterized! If she doesn’t treat it now, she is going to bleed out.

‘Why the hell did I think I could handle that?’

Luna groaned again as she felt her leg throb and she started to wobble towards the bathroom where the first aid kit was. When they agreed to go to the meeting, Mark told Luna that if a fight ever broke out, he would transport her back to the territory using the authority of the bishop that he gained when he got the bishop’s territory.

But Luna told Mark that she would try and take care of a master before she goes. She wanted to help out a little, instead of just being protected all the time. But Luna now knew that she bit off far more than she could chew. If Mark didn’t get her out of there when he did, then she would have really died while fighting against Otsu. Luna finally got to the bathroom and she limped towards the cabinet and found the first aid kit.

“Ugh!”

Crash!

Luna reached for it, but she was not able to grab a hold of the sink and she fell to the ground with the contents of the first aid kit pouring to the ground around her. Luna sighed as she leaned back against the bathtub and started to pick out the things she would need to stop the bleeding. She grabbed a large cloth and pressed it against the wound before looking at the gauze that had rolled all the way over to the other side of the bathroom.

Luna sighed again.

“I hate this fucking game.”

…

[The player has two allies fighting beside him, the effects of [He Who Defies Destiny] have been activated. The User has gained a 20% boost to all stats. All allies have gained a twenty percent increase in their abilities.]

[One of the user’s allies has been removed from the fight, and the user’s stats have dropped by 10%.]

Slam!

Slam!

Slam!

Mark grabbed Hercules by the shirt and headbutted him three times before spinning him around and tossing him into a building in the distance with a shout!

“Rargh!”

BOOM!

Hercules broke through that building and into the skyscraper beside it before he started to crash down through the floors and got to the ground floor. Mark watched from the top of a high skyscraper as many of the people around the building ran away in fear as the skyscraper lost its rigidity and started to come down on them.

Hercules walked out from inside the rubble while rolling his shoulder. There was no injury on him at all and he didn’t even look like he took any damage from that attack.

[Achilles Heel] has been activated!

Mark quickly activated the Achilles Heel skill to try and see if there were any weak spots that it could exploit in Hercules’ defenses, but once Mark activated it, everything around Hercules blurred into grey. There were no red spots at all! The defenses around Hercules were so strong that there wasn’t a single vulnerable spot in his entire body!

It almost seemed like the very air around Hercules was acting like a deterrent that prevented Mark from being able to hurt him. Mark realized how useless it was going to be to keep attacking him in the same way as he deactivated his Achilles Heel to preserve mana.

‘I guess I was right. His defense is no joke!’

Mark already knew that the Rook would have high defenses, but this was crazy. Mark had punched, thrown, and kicked Hercules more times than he could count and Hercules still looked completely unharmed.

Mark quickly put his hand out and summoned his [Armour of Ares]. He put the box on his chest and it transformed into a bulletproof vest that covered his body snugly. He was going to be fighting against a physical opponent, so the vest would come in handy.

Hercules pointed a finger at Mark and Mark wondered what he was about to do. But he never expected Hercules to suddenly vanish from the ground! Mark felt a presence behind him and he turned around in shock and crossed his hands!

BOOM!

Hercules slammed his fist into Mark’s crossed arms and Mark was thrown across the city! Hercules followed after Mark and grabbed him by the shirt before slamming his fist into his face over and over again!

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Mark blocked most of the punches, but he grew too angry from the attacks and immediately grabbed Hercules’s arm and activated [Lightning Surge]!
