Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Phoenix Fire
PHWOOOMMM!!

Fiona’s eyes widened in shock as she felt the temperature in the room surge to an unbearable level! The cement floor began to break apart as the heat tore their molecular structure into pieces, and the glass and metal in the room began to melt!

Fiona turned around to see what was causing it, and she cursed in her head as she saw a golden hue surrounding Gunter! Gunter brought out one hand from his pocket and raised a finger as he smiled at Fiona.

“Rising Phoenix.”

BOOOOOM!!!

A massive explosion rocked the entire lab, and Fiona was thrown into the far wall from the force! She quickly rushed to her feet without wasting time, and it was only that quick movement that allowed her to avoid the punch that would have obliterated her head!

BOOM!

Gunter’s fist slammed into the wall behind Fiona, and Fiona’s adrenaline burst to life in her veins as she roared in anger! An anima charged for Gunter and slammed into the bigger man, throwing him away from Fiona! Ten more anima quickly ran towards Gunter, and they all dogpiled him to give Fiona some room to breathe!

Fiona’s heart was beating like a drum in her chest. Her hands were clammy, and it was difficult for her to take in any breath because the air in the room was too hot. When the air molecules are heated up to such an intense degree, the lungs literally reject the oxygen being taken into the body! It’s like your body tries its best not to ingest something that will cause it harm!

But Fiona wondered what the hell those golden flames were! It was nothing like Tyler’s flame! It’s too hot! Did he say that it was Phoenix fire!? I need to get out of here before he uses it again!

Fiona knew that there was nothing she could really do against someone like Gunter in a straight fight like this, it didn’t matter how many minions Fiona had or how strong they were. Fiona’s mana couldn’t keep up with the sheer power that Gunter had.

Even now, Fiona could feel her mana reserves plummeting from controlling these many anima at the same time. The only thing that she could do right now was to run as far as possible and hope to find an exit!

Fiona raced to Uriel’s office, and she tried to smash through the wall on the other side of the room! If she could get out of there, then she could make her way to the corridor that she used to enter the lab. From there, she could easily get to the elevator and escape!

CLANG!

Fiona cursed loudly as her hand slammed into a metal wall that was blocking the other side of the wall! The metal wall bent under the force of her punch, but it did not break, and Fiona was left wondering what the hell that wall was made of! A metal wall that she couldn’t break through was something she had never experienced before!

Fiona could feel her connections to some of the anima in the previous room getting cut at a rapid pace and she knew it was because Gunter was killing them very quickly. Fiona cleaned a line of blood that was dripping from her nose and drew her hand back for another punch!

“Damn rats just won’t get off me! Come back here, girl!”

Gunter’s loud voice echoed from the other room, and before Fiona had a chance to move out of the way, she was suddenly sent crashing through the metal wall as Gunter’s body slammed into her! Fiona tumbled on the ground for many meters and finally slid to a stop a few meters away!

Fiona coughed and let out a shuddering breath as she felt something shift inside of her. She moved her waist slightly and grimaced as a sharp pain shot through her body.

I definitely broke something. My third rib? No, the second one. I hope it didn’t pierce anything.

Fiona reached out for her blessing again and felt her connection to her anima minions all around her. She immediately pulled on that connection and dragged them to her!

Boom!

Splurt!

The anima all came crashing through the walls of the lab with loud roars of anger, and at the same time, Fiona felt a massive amount of blood gush out from her nose and eyes! She was using her blessing too many times and for too long, so her brain couldn’t withstand the strain of controlling this many creatures all at once.

And worst of all, since all of the anima in this lab were calamity classes, Fiona was trying to control creatures that were all stronger than her. It was like Fiona was trying to hold up a mountain with only her shoulders! It didn’t matter how powerful she was; in time, she would start to feel the effect heavily on her.

Gunter grunted in irritation as the anima came through the wall and attacked him. He cracked his neck before raising his finger again as a smile started to spread across his face.

“I love feisty women the most! You excite me even more when you don’t know your place!”

Phwoom!

A surge of golden fire burst to life on Gunter’s hand, and he slashed it across the air in front of him! All the anima running at him were immediately split in half before they burst into a beautiful golden flame!

BOOM!

The blast threw Fiona back and she slammed into the far wall with a grunt of pain before sliding down to the ground slowly. Gunter flicked his hand to the side nonchalantly with a confident smile on his face to extinguish the residual fire on his finger.

“Phoenix Slash.”

Gunter called out the name of the technique before putting his hand back in his pocket and walking up to Fiona. He looked down at her with a condescending frown. Why was Salazar so adamant about getting rid of this woman? If it was the Vanitas boy, then maybe it would have been worth calling me here, but calling someone like me to handle someone this weak is a waste of my time.

Gunter watched Fiona for a few seconds. Fiona was still bleeding from her nose, and she coughed a few times as she tasted iron in her mouth. After she was sure that she was not going to cough up blood, she dared to look up and stared right into Gunter’s eyes defiantly. Was she really going to die here?

Gunter reached down and grabbed her by the neck, and Fiona groaned in pain as she felt her broken rib shift around when Gunter lifted her off the ground.

“Hey, who are you working with? I remember you from that assessment that the Mark boy had. Is he here with you? Did he send you here to get information? Call him up so I can have some fun with him too. There’s no way you’re the strongest person around.”

Fiona glared at Gunter in pain as she tried her best to get his hands off her! But no matter how much she struggled, Gunter’s grip was like a metal rod tightened around her neck! Gunter looked into Fiona’s eyes, and he saw a great amount of defiance in there that was only overshadowed by the intense fear she felt. A smile stretched across Gunter’s lips and he watched Fiona struggle for a few more seconds before he chuckled deeply.

“Oh yes, I really like them feisty.”

“Grk!”

Gunter started to squeeze down slowly, and Fiona felt her throat growing tighter the more she tried to breathe!
