Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Web Of Deciet
Luna suddenly caught sight of something on the edge of her vision, and Luna turned to her side in surprise to see that Mark was already crouching on the branch beside her. When did he get here?

Mark had been helping out an S-rank in the forest who was fighting a high-level calamity. There were a lot of civilians moving towards the hotel, so Mark had to help the S-rank to make sure that the calamity was killed as quickly as possible so the civilians wouldn’t be harmed while moving through the forest.

Luna noticed that Mark was now wearing a face mask that she had never seen him wear before. It was made from a black carbon-fiber hybrid material with a metallic gleam, and there were two circular filters on each side of the mask that released a puff of white air every time Mark released a deep breath.

Luna thought it complimented Mark’s sharp gaze perfectly and allowed him to look even more imposing than normal. Since his hair was now a little longer than before, Mark’s hair came down the side of his face and only made Mark more mysterious with his black eyes standing out even more sharply than they usually did! Luna almost felt like reaching out to touch his face.

“What are you doing? Why haven’t you killed them already?”

Luna was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts as Mark spoke up in a gruff voice. He turned his sharp gaze towards Luna, and Luna realized that she had been spacing out pointlessly in the middle of a fight. She had to get her mind back into focus.

Luna turned to the fight again and told Mark what she was worried about. She wouldn’t be able to kill all the anima in one go since they were spread out so randomly. If she just tried to attack pointlessly, then she might hit some of the superhumans. Normally, her guild members would be responsible for rounding up the anima before allowing her to kill all of them, but right now, she had to think of another way to draw the anima together.

Mark thought about it for a moment, and he was able to come up with a solution rather quickly.

“I’ll act as bait and draw as many as possible towards me. Use that chance to snipe them.”

Mark only said this before he flashed away from the branch they had been standing on and reappeared in the middle of the battlefield! Luna was stunned by Mark’s statement; she had no idea how Mark wanted to draw their attention to him, but she decided that she would trust him since he sounded so sure of himself.

Luna raised her hand in the air, and a massive blue light shone above her as she poured mana out from her body. After the lessons that Luna had with Merlin, Luna’s mana control and output were now much higher than they once were. Luna had repurposed her mana so that it worked in a different way from before. Now, instead of her just using all of her mana for anything, Luna could use parts of her mana for different magical tasks. This allowed Luna’s mana that had been repurposed for her to use for magic spells to be almost twice as potent as it once was!

The superhumans who were close to Luna were all stunned by the iridescent blue glow that appeared in the air above her! They looked up to see what Luna was about to do, and they completely missed the moment Mark appeared in their midst in a flash of lightning!

Mark looked around at all the anima that were remaining and he activated a skill.

[Taunting [Web of Deceit]] has been activated.

[Due to its low level, only 25% of the monsters in the area have been affected.]

ROARR!

RARRHHH!!

GRAHH!

Loud roars echoed through the region as the anima influenced by the spell all turned their attention to Mark and started running toward him with reckless abandon! Their eyes were red and bloodshot as they ignored all the other superhumans and started running at Mark. The superhumans who had been fighting those anima were shocked when the anima suddenly started to leave, but Mark ignored the anima and humans as he turned off the skill and activated it again.

[Taunting [Web of Deceit]] has been activated.

[Due to its low level, only 55% of the monsters in the area have been affected.]

The skill turned on for a second time, and this time more monsters were affected by the skill. They all started to run toward Mark as well, and Mark raised his hand and activated [Lightning Surge] when a vicious anima tried to slam into him! The anima was electrocuted by hundreds of thousands of volts and it recoiled in pain and slammed into another anima behind it. Mark quickly deactivated his skill and reactivated it again.

[User has killed [3] High-Level Calamity.]

The anima that Mark electrocuted was immediately fried from the massive amount of electricity. Since Mark had already killed two anima before coming to this main street, that meant he didn’t kill the second anima he hit with the electrocuted one. Mark decided to just ignore that anima and turned his attention back to using his skill.

[Taunting [Web of Deceit]] has been activated.

[Due to its low level, only 65% of the monsters in the area have been affected.]

This should be enough.

There were about twenty anima still alive in the area, and now Mark had summoned more than two-thirds of them. Mark deactivated his skill and jumped out from their midst as the anima tried to dogpile him in the middle. There were still some anima left that didn’t fall for Mark’s taunting skill, but now that they had been reduced this much, it would be far easier for Mark to handle them!

Mark could have just gone around killing all the anima on his own, but he knew that it would be dangerous to do that while all the superhumans were getting attacked. The time it would take him to kill the anima could result in the death of a few people, and Mark didn’t want to take the risk.

Mark’s eyes flashed with blue lightning as he suddenly blasted off toward the nearest anima! He grabbed it by the face and activated [Lightning Surge], frying its brain as he carried it along toward the next anima! This anima was fighting against a female superhuman that looked to be on her last leg. Her shoulder had been broken and there was blood leaking from her forehead as she tried her best to hold off the calamity!

Mark suddenly appeared from nowhere and slammed the anima he was carrying into the head of the second anima! The anima roared in pain as they collided, and Mark drew back his hand like a blade and shot it forward to pierce through both their heads at the same time!

SQUELCH!

The sound of their skulls being pierced was enough to make the female superhuman shiver in fear! She was already on the grass, breathing heavily while staring up at Mark in awe. The woman had been fighting against that monster for almost ten minutes without ever feeling like she would win. She thought she was already dead when her shoulder broke, but Mark was able to handle the monsters so brutally in seconds.

Mark turned around to look at the woman for a second and her breath hitched when Mark spoke to her through his mask.

“Are you okay?”

The woman nodded quickly as a small blush crept up her face.
