Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 372

Chapter 372: The Struggles Of The Weak
One of the superhumans on the ground, a man who came for the festival with his family and had to come out to help the civilians once the announcement was made, grunted as he raised his hand to bring up a mass of earth, protecting some civilians that were about to be crushed by the anima. He was an A-rank superhuman with a minor blessing from Gaia, the goddess of the earth, that allowed him to control rocks to a certain degree.

“Go! Run to the hotel! Follow the C-rank superhumans evacuating people! Don’t go towards the S-rank battling the anima in the forest! Run in the other direction! I’ll try to hold it off here!”

The man shouted to the civilians once he was sure that other superhumans were drawing the anima’s attention, and the civilians shouted their thanks before they started running. The man turned back to the giant anima with a grimace on his face as he erected another barrier in front of him to prevent the anima from crushing a B-rank that got too close.

What the fuck was going on right now? What the hell are these things? The man had never seen anima that looked like these before. Each head on the anima looked like a human head, and the anima also had multiple hands and legs that were struggling for control over the larger body! If not for the fact that they were acting like anima, the man would have thought that this was some sort of prank that was being played on them!

There were also normal-looking anima among the horde. A giant crab-based anima that was trying to use its giant pincers to tear a woman in two was running towards the forest, and another small snake-like anima with two heads was spitting venom at an A-rank who was protecting himself using a wind-based blessing. But the majority of the anima in the horde were human-anima hybrids!

BOOM!

“Shit! West, we need protection over here!”

West quickly poured out mana and erected a giant earth-based shield to protect one of the superhumans who were about to be crushed! He ran towards where the superhuman was and created a giant earth lance that he shot at the anima with intense force!

Squelch!

“Rarrrgh!”

The lance slammed into one of the anima’s heads, and it roared in anger as it began to thrash around in pain! This gave them enough time to move away from the anima’s range of attack and retreat so they could regroup and make a new plan for attacking!

This was fucking useless!

“We’re not going to do anything to it at this rate! We’re only stalling it without causing any real damage!”

“That’s the best we can do! This is a calamity! We have to wait for an S-rank or one of the higher-ranked A-ranks to come here! They’re the only ones that can kill it!”

West grit his teeth in anger as he looked around to see if there was anything they could do! He refused to just stand here like a victim and allow this thing to kill them! What happens if the S-ranks and A-ranks don’t come!? They would just be waiting for the anima to kill them!

West raised his hand and prepared to send another spike at the anima, but he was cut off by a calm voice before he could activate the skill.

“Watch out behind you.”

“What!?”

West turned around in fear, expecting to see another anima there, but instead, he saw a sea of blue ice lances flashing through the air! Hundreds of ice spikes sharpened to a point and longer than West was tall, flew past him as they descended upon the battlefield!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The spikes slammed into the anima around West, stabbing through each of them and impaling them to the ground easily! West’s eyes widened as he saw who created the ice. It was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. Her white hair was tied behind her head in a ponytail that flowed in the wind, complementing her fair skin and deep blue eyes perfectly. The woman was standing on a branch of a tree in the distance, but West could easily see her eyes glowing a powerful blue as massive amounts of mana flowed from her in waves. She released a calm sigh, and a puff of visible cold air wafted from her mouth and into the surroundings. West had never been more attracted to anyone in his life.

“It’s Luna! A SOVEREIGN is here! We’re saved!”

“Luna of the Moonlight Guild!? You’re right, it’s her!”

“Yes!! We made it!”

The superhumans all started to shout in joy as they recognized who it was. It was Luna, the leader of the Moonlight Guild! They all knew her, so they knew that there was no way the anima stood a chance now that a SOVEREIGN was here with them!

Luna surveyed the battlefield quickly from her vantage point, and her eyes narrowed as she saw that the anima were all spread out in a very random way. She wouldn’t be able to get all of them at the same time if they were scattered like this.

[Madam Luna, do you need aid? We are currently engaging a group of calamity classes on the other side of the festival grounds, but we can come to you in a moment if you need us there.]

A voice suddenly sounded from Luna’s comms, and Luna immediately recognized who it was. It was one of her vice-captains who came to the festival with her. The vice-captain and some of the other members of Luna’s guild were at the other end of the festival when the animas attacked, so they were currently trying to help out over there. Luna put her hand to her ear and responded to her vice-captain calmly.

“I don’t need help, just make sure that no one dies. Are Tina and Turner with you?”

[Yes, ma’am. Tina tried to run to your location to meet up with GHOST, but we managed to subdue her and make her help out. They are both providing support for the weaker superhumans.]

Luna hummed in understanding as she created an ice lance and sent it toward an anima that was about to kill one of the superhumans. The anima was pierced through the head and died on the spot! Luna knew that it was difficult to handle Tina, so she was happy that her vice-captain was able to do it.

“I’m currently handling the anima on the east face of the mountain with GHOST. Once we are done here, we’ll make our way to the Eldritch that appeared. If you finish off the anima on that side quickly enough, then those without injuries can join us at the pier and help in evacuating the survivors.”

[Yes, ma’am. I’ll pass on the orders.]

The vice-captain responded respectfully before clicking off the call, and Luna eyed the anima below her once more.
