Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Quadruple Casting!
The mana around Musashi’s sword suddenly began to move, spinning around the blade like the blade of a chainsaw and increasing in speed until it created a white-hot barrier, coating the entire blade in mana. Merlin knew it would be best not to allow that to touch him, so he put up his hand and prepared for another spell.

Woosh!

Merlin’s eyes widened as he saw Musashi vanish before appearing in front of him, his blade positioned to slice off Merlin’s neck. Merlin was shocked and started to fall back as his mind raced like crazy. Did Musashi also infuse mana into his legs? What is this man?

“Tarrae motus! Infernum Sacrum!”

Merlin cast two spells simultaneously, and Musashi felt the ground under his feet shift to the left as a massive earthquake raged across the area. The first spell that Merlin cast was the earthquake spell to unbalance Musashi and make him retreat, and the second spell was a fire-based spell that could be interpreted as Sacred Inferno.

Phwoom!

A massive fire surged to life between the two combatants, and Musashi was forced to retreat as he couldn’t get through the flames. Musashi ran to the side to flank Merlin, and Merlin put his staff out and started to unleash shards of ice as he tried to skewer Musashi with them. He was going to kill this man and learn about his magic!

Slash! Slash! Slash! Shnk!

Musashi suddenly changed direction as he started running towards Merlin! He cut through three of the ice shards before deflecting a last one and getting in close enough to send a slash toward Merlin’s chest.

A magic circle appeared in front of Merlin and blocked the slash before Merlin stabbed the ground with the end of his staff and twisted it to the left.

“Flumen Mysticorum!”

WOOSH!!

A massive torrent of wind blew from around Merlin, and Musashi was not able to get away quickly enough as he was suddenly tossed into the air! The wind pressure increased in intensity, and Musashi was thrown around as the wind started to form into a massive tornado with Merlin in the middle. Merlin raised his hand and shouted out another spell!

“Impetus Tempestatum!”

Flames sparked to life on the edge of his staff, and the tornado suddenly burst into an inferno! Everything around Merlin was burning, and Merlin knew that the amount of mana he would consume right now was going to be massive, but he couldn’t allow Musashi any time to rest. If someone had good enough mana control, they would be able to get out of this without much damage, and Merlin knew that with the amount of control Musashi had, nothing was stopping Musashi from simply tanking this as well.

So Merlin decided that he would go one step further! Merlin hasn’t tried tricasting a spell in a very long time. It was something that no magician could do except for him. Moving your magic inside your body in a way that would allow you to cast three different types of magic simultaneously was seen as impossible by some and as madness by others. Even Morgana with all her skill could only dual cast at any one time. Merlin was the only mage in known history capable of activating three spells at the same time.

A massive magic circle opened in the sky above the flaming tornado as Merlin drained even more of his mana. The magic circle covered the entire region around their fight, and if you look closely enough, you will see that it was the same magic circle that Merlin used against Mark during their fight!

“Lactus Astroidis!”

The asteroid strike spell came to life, and Merlin deactivated the spell and jumped back at the same time to get out of the range of the spell.

Musashi dropped to the ground and breathed heavily as he tried to get his senses back. His clothes were singed and smoking and his hair was no longer tied in its rubberband as it fell all around him. Musashi used a lot of effort to avoid getting hurt by the flames that Merlin sent through the tornado.

Musashi took one more deep breath and coughed before he slowly got up to his feet and looked in the air to see the giant asteroid that was falling from the sky. He brought his sword up and began his preparation.

Merlin watched from a good distance away as Musashi reactivated the mana that was swirling around his sword. The mana sped up until it was white-hot and formed a blade of mana around Musashi’s blade.

Musashi’s face turned serious as he got into the perfect sword stance.

“I don’t think I can thank the gods enough for this opportunity. In all my time, I have never faced off against something like this before.”

Musashi raised his sword into the air, and Merlin’s eyes widened as he realized what Musashi was about to do. Was he really going to try and cut the asteroid?

Musashi closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. Everything around him vanished into silence as he felt for the mana inside him. The mana swirled and gathered into a massive blade that added even more fuel to his already surging mana, and the blade in his hands elongated until it was more than a hundred feet long!

Two microseconds!

Musashi’s next series of movements were completed in only two microseconds. He slammed his feet into the ground, crouched, and slashed downwards in one fluid movement!

SHINK!

There was silence in the region for a long time, and nothing seemed to have the audacity to move. But before long, the sky itself split in half!

SHINK!

RUMBLE!

The ground under Merlin’s feet shook as a massive cut appeared across the ground! The clouds in the sky were rendered in half, and the buildings in the distance immediately began to break apart as they were all cut in half. The asteroid that had been falling from the sky was suddenly falling in two distinct pieces, and Musashi brought his sword to his hip and sheathed it as the asteroid fell on both sides of him.

Musashi breathed a sigh of relief to calm himself, but he never expected the next attack that suddenly slammed into him from the sky!

SLASH!

A massive wind blade slammed into his left side, taking his arm away and leaving him with only a stump. Musashi’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at it. What? Why was he not able to see the spell coming? He didn’t even notice anything! Don’t tell me it was hiding behind the asteroid.

Then that meant he wasn’t casting only three spells! He cast four spells at the same time! This monster!
