Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Black Devil
“She really likes you, little missus! This one is named Bella!”

The man guided the horse forward, and Talia waved at Mark happily.

“Come on, big brother! Join us.”

Mark felt a little skeptical about that. No matter how strong that horse looked, it was impossible for it to carry three of them together. Instead, Mark decided to take another horse. Mark looked around the stall with a dull gaze and noticed that all the horses seemed to be moving away from his sight once he looked at them. Were they scared of him?

One of the helpers around the stall tried to bring out a horse for Mark, but the horse planted its feet on the ground and refused to budge while giving Mark a fearful look. It was almost like their animalistic instincts were telling them not to go near Mark.

Mark didn’t know this, but after gaining the Demonic Void Apostle constitution and using Fear so many times, he was now releasing a constant wave of bloodlust that most animals could sense with their animalistic instincts. This made the horses fear him.

Mark turned away from the horses and almost gave up until he saw a particular horse that was segregated from the others. It was in a cage and had a chain holding it down to the ground. Its coat was pure black and it had glaring red eyes. This horse was obviously different from the others, and when Mark stared into its eyes, he raised a brow when it stared right back.

The stall helper came out and spoke to Mark quietly.

“Oh, not that one, Mark Vanitas. We brought it here thinking it would behave, but it injured the last person who rode it and has been lashing out against the other horses for a while now. We’re going to send it back to be re-tamed soon.”

Mark hummed.

“I’ll take it.”

“But…”

“Do you think it will injure me?”

Mark gave the stall helper a look and the man suddenly seemed to remember who he was talking to. He quickly shook his head and told someone to open the gate. Mark walked forward as the gate clicked open. He kept his eyes right on those of the horse. The horse huffed aggressively and stamped its hoof against the ground multiple times in an effort to intimidate Mark, but the blank gaze never left Mark’s eyes until he was right in front of the horse.

When Mark finally stood before the horse, the horse seemed to calm down a bit. It sniffed Mark a few times and prodded him with its hoof calmly before eventually bowing its head in front of Mark submissively.

Mark finally smiled and patted the horse on the side of its head.

“That’s a good boy.”

The horse whinnied and Mark grabbed the reins of the horse and climbed up to the saddle easily. He took a few seconds to get used to the feeling of being up there before he patted the horse on the side and it gently walked out from the cage.

“Ah, a black horsey!”

Talia patted the black horse on the head once it came close enough and the horse huffed in annoyance while shaking her hand off its head. Mark frowned and hit the horse on the head and the horse whined before it bowed its head as Talia patted it again.

“Good horsey!”

Mark chuckled while reaching out to give Arit a small kiss when she wasn’t expecting it. Arit blushed at the act and glared at Mark, and Mark grinned.

“Come on, I think this one can take the three of us.”

Mark lifted Arit off the white horse like she weighed nothing before dropping her in front of him on the black horse. The horse barely registered the increase in weight as it huffed and Arit just laughed happily as she reached out and took Talia into her arms.

Mark held the two of them securely and made sure they wouldn’t fall before he started to walk the horse down the laid-out path. Talia had stars in her eyes as she waved at some of the people who were stopping to wave or take pictures of them. Arit had a wide smile on her face as she held Talia to make sure that she didn’t fall, and Mark leaned down and kissed Arit on the forehead with a small smile.

When Arit looked up at him, he whispered to her.

“Hold on tight.”

Now that Mark was used to the feeling, he guessed he could go a little faster.

“Hiyaaahh!”

“Kyaaaaaa!”

“Yayyy!”

Arit screamed in fear as Mark suddenly made the horse speed up and Talia shouted happily while raising her hand into the air in joy! The black demon of a horse sped forward like a jet! It released a puff of smoke from its nose as it suddenly blasted into a straight run that would have blown anyone else off its back, but Mark held on as he leaned forward while holding Arit tight!

Arit was holding Talia with both arms as tightly as possible to make sure the little girl didn’t fall! She wanted to scream at Mark to slow down, but she was too busy trying not to pass out from fear at that moment! They were going way too fast!

All the other riders that were on the track as well were rushing off the track to prevent an accident as the speeding horse flashed past!

“Hurdle! Mark, there’s a hurdle! Mark!”

Arit closed her eyes tight as she saw a hurdle coming up on the track and she could feel her heart rate spike in fear as she thought that they were going to crash! But there was a sudden jolt as the horse lifted off the ground and the sudden feeling of flying filled her entire body! Arit’s eyes opened in wonder as she felt all the air leave her lungs!

‘We’re flying.’

Boom!

The horse landed back on the ground like a comet and Arit felt her entire body shake as she lurched forward! It was only Mark’s grip around her that prevented her from falling and she held on tight to Talia to make sure the little girl was also not going to fall!

They finally started to slow down as they came back to the start of the running course and Arit put her hand to her chest to catch her breath as she heard Mark and Talia laughing happily. Talia wanted to go again and Arit immediately glared at Mark to make sure he didn’t agree! She would die if they did that a second time!

Mark just chuckled at her reaction and pecked her on the forehead once more before telling Talia that they had a lot more stalls to see.

“Let’s find another fun one, alright? Big sister Arit might have a heart attack.”

Talia turned to Arit and stuck out her tongue at her.

“You’re just a scaredy-cat.”

Arit blushed at the jab and she tickled Talia until Talia was laughing breathlessly!

The three of them finally decided that they had enough of the horses and left to do something else.

The stall owner immediately came over to the stall handler who gave Mark the horse and told him to put the horse up for sale while showing him a picture that was taken when the three of them were riding.

“The demon horse that was tamed by GHOST himself! We’re going to make thousands off this horse! Hahahahaha!!”

“Holy shit, we’re rich!”

The black horse just deadpanned in disappointment as it went back to its cell while shaking its head at their foolishness. Later, the tabloids would talk about the demon horse tamed by GHOST that refused to be ridden by anyone else ever again.
