Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 276

Chapter 276: How Are You Able To Do That?
The top of Hercules’ body fell to the ground, but Hercules’ legs kept running until they were more than five hundred meters away before they finally fell to the ground as well.

Mark grimaced as he saw some of the buildings fall on some of the civilians who were trying to get out from the carnage. There were many people around who were trying to get away from the fight, but they were not able to run away quickly enough before the buildings came down. That was going to hurt. Mark couldn’t really save every one of them, and he didn’t care enough to try, so he just walked over to Hercules.

Mark’s hand twitched and he flexed his fingers and grinned as he saw some lightning dance across his finger. Mark really didn’t know if he would be able to infuse lightning into the void slash like that. He thought that the two skills would interfere destructively and prevent him from doing what he did. But Mark remembered that the void slash skill allowed him to use all his previous constitution skills, so he just figured that it would also allow him to combine them.

When Mark sent out that void slash, he also sent out a massive wave of lightning with it. Lightning is known to be very good at piercing and cutting, so he hoped that it would augment the void slash and make it stronger, and it turned out to actually do just that.

“I guess I created a new skill. I better go help Merlin.”

Mark ignored the broadcast from the system since he already knew what it was about, and he jumped up to a high building to look into the horizon to find out where the fight between Musashi and Merlin was happening. But before he could find out where it was, there was another broadcast.

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

[The servant BISHOP [Merlin] has been eliminated from the game by Servant KNIGHT. Servant KNIGHT has gained a twelve-hour non-aggression benefit. No servant-master pair is allowed to approach or attack Servant KNIGHT during the non-aggression time period.

What the fuck? Mark’s brow furrowed in a frown of irritation. Merlin already lost?

…

[With Musashi and Merlin: Ten minutes ago]

Musashi jumped back as multiple ice shards slammed into the ground around him! He lashed out with his sword and slashed three ice shards into pieces before they could get to him, and he waited with his senses on high alert as he watched Merlin charging up a new spell!

Various magic circles opened around Merlin and Merlin prepared to fire a massive fireball at Musashi. Merlin knew that he couldn’t use any of Luna’s mana in this fight since Mark was the only one allowed to use it, so Merlin had to be careful of how he used mana. He was only going to use non-intensive spells that could be ignited using the atmosphere so that he could preserve his mana as much as possible.

Musashi suddenly charged forward!

Boom!

Before Merlin could finish creating the spell, he saw Musashi crouch low before charging straight at him! Merlin was a bit shocked by this, but he did not allow it to stop him from charging his spell. Instead, he simply started to dual-cast spells. He continued his fireball spell while also creating multiple magic circles on the ground around him! Hundreds of wild vines shot out from the magic circles and flew towards Musashi to intercept him!

Musashi brought his sword forward and it blurred into action as he started to cut the vines down expertly! There were no wasted movements from him! Every action was perfectly calculated, every flip, every step, every slash! He was like a machine born only for swinging the sword in the most efficient way possible! Merlin might be a mage, but even he could appreciate just how beautiful Musashi’s swordsmanship was! It was beyond anything that Merlin had ever seen! Even King Arthur didn’t have this level of skill with a sword!

Shink!

Shink!

Shink!

Musashi was about to get to Merlin, but luckily for Merlin, his magic was already complete!

“Let’s see if you can cut this down, swordsman! Ignis Sphaera.”

The wave of magic coalesced into a swirling ball of yellow flames that gathered into a condensed region before increasing in density and mass, forming a giant fireball that was taller than both men combined!

The fireball shot towards Musashi and Merlin expected to see it implode against him, but what happened next was completely unexpected!

SLASH!

BOOM!

Merlin’s eyes widened as he saw a massive slash appear in the air and tear through the middle of the fireball before the entire thing seemed to split in two and fly past Musashi!

Ka-Boom!!

The two halves of the fireball imploded against a building in the distance, but Merlin’s eyes were glued on Musashi’s sword which was glowing with a dull blue light.

‘He infused his sword with mana? How is he able to do that? I thought he was just an ordinary swordsman. I am sure there was no magic in the land during the time he was alive, so how is he this good at manipulating mana?’

Musashi stood up to his full height and looked down at his sword with a dull gaze before he began to speak.

“I did not think I would need to use it so soon, but you are a truly fearsome opponent, magician.”

Merlin narrowed his eyes.

“I believe you are from the time of samurai when there was no magic in the land. How are you able to infuse your sword with magic? Is it something given to your class by the game, or did you learn it before coming to this fight?”

The technique that Musashi was using is something that not even some of the best magicians are capable of learning for years. It takes a very good magician at least a year of understanding the intricate nature of a tool before they can infuse magic into that tool. The fact that Musashi was able to infuse his sword with magic could only mean one of two things. Either the game was helping him to do it, and this was just another one of the things that a Knight could do because of their class, or he was able to learn how to infuse his sword with magic in less than two days.

The second option was close to impossible.

Musashi looked down at the mana swirling around his sword wistfully.

“This mana thing, it is truly fascinating. I have never felt it before, but it seems as though the world would be a much better place if everyone had it. My battles in my previous life would have been a lot more fulfilling had there been something like this in the mix. But for your question, I have no obligation to answer you. If you wish to know how I did this, then defeat me. I shall tell it to you with my dying breath.”
