Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 383
Chapter 383: Weapons Mistress
The only thing on Talia’s mind was that there was a dangerous woman after them, and Teddy was dead! They had to get out of there!
James turned to look at Talia with desperation in his eyes, and Talia pulled him along, urging him to come with her. James followed reluctantly while asking where they would go. They didn’t know if there were any superhumans in the forest and if they were just running to a dead end!
Talia shook her head and told him it was better than staying here. Her grandfather always told her that the best way to escape from danger was to run to a populated area. Since there were no people around, the best bet she had now was to run into the forest!
“Just come with me! We can figure out what to do once we get away from here!”
James seemed skeptical, but he finally nodded and allowed Talia to pull him along as they felt Selina’s presence getting closer! The two of them ran through the forest frantically, looking around to make sure they weren’t being followed. As they ran, James noticed that Talia was constantly touching the trees beside her, brushing her hand against each one before moving on. James wanted to ask what she was doing, but there was no opportunity since they were both running right now.
But as they ran, James could see Talia getting visibly weaker. Her breath was becoming more labored, and her steps were heavier than before. She was exhausted! James heard a massive explosion behind them and didn’t waste any time; he scooped Talia into his arms and bolted!
“Ah!”
Talia was shocked by the sudden movement and was about to tell James to put her down immediately, but once she saw the intense look on his face, she knew she couldn’t. They were trying to survive, so her embarrassment didn’t matter at all. Talia fought down the blush on her face and put her arm around James’ neck as she felt the forest blurring past them! Since Talia was not a physical-type superhuman, James was much faster than her, and even while carrying her, he was still able to move at a much higher speed than when she was running!
Zoom!
Talia held on tighter as James increased his speed, but even with the increase, Talia could still sense Selina getting closer to them! Talia knew there was no way James could get away from Selina since Selina was an S-rank and he was only a B-rank! But it didn’t matter since Talia was already well-prepared for Selina!
Selina was running after the kids through the forest! She could see them in the distance. The boy was carrying the girl, and they were trying to get to the festival grounds, but there was no way she would let them escape after that stupid Teddy bear distracted her! Selina raised her Glock and aimed right beside the spot where James would be in a moment!
BANG!
The bullet flew true, but all of a sudden, a branch appeared from nowhere and blocked the bullet’s path, causing it to impact prematurely!
KA-BOOM!
What? What the hell was that!?
Selina was stunned by the movement! She knew she aimed that bullet perfectly so it wouldn’t hit any branches! So where the hell did the branch come from!? Selina looked around as she heard a deep groan echo through the forest and couldn’t believe it when the trees slowly started to move! They first moved slowly, swaying from side to side as their branches wiggled around, but soon, the trees were actively removing themselves from the ground. Their roots were being dragged out from underground, and they were using the roots as legs as they rose higher and higher into the air.
Selina cursed internally as she eyed the trees with a narrowed gaze. She rearranged the bag on her back so that it was more secure and reached back to pull out a new cartridge. She threw out the empty cartridge from her Glock and reloaded it with the new one before reaching back again and pulling out a second Glock from a holster. Selina didn’t need to be a genius to know exactly who caused this. She knew that Talia would be a fucking problem. But this was just fucking absurd. Just how much mana does that little girl have!?
“I fucking hate summoners.”
Click! Click!
“ROARRRR!!”
Selina loaded both guns and at the same moment, the entire forest came to life with action as the trees charged at her in one unified front! Selina dashed to the side to avoid a tree trunk and aimed at the center of two trees!
Bang! Bang!
BOOM!
A massive explosion resounded across the forest as both trees were immediately obliterated! Selina dashed forward, jumped over a root that tried to grab her by the feet, and slammed her feet into the trunk of a large tree! She used that as a springboard to launch herself into the air and flipped through the air as she aimed her gun below her!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
KA-BOOM!
Massive explosions resounded across the forest as everything below her was destroyed by her bullets! Selina continued to fire, landing on the ground a few meters away from the fire! A tree slashed at her with its root, but Selina easily flipped back, allowing the root to fly over her face by just a few meters! She screeched to a halt and aimed her Glock at the large tree!
Click!
“Fuck!”

Selina cursed as she threw the empty gun away and pointed the other gun at the monster!
Bang!
BOOM!
A massive explosion destroyed the tree and propelled it into another tree at the side that also caught on fire! Selina checked the ammo in her remaining Glock as she began to run again and clicked her tongue when she noticed they were all gone. She threw that gun to the side as well before reaching behind her and bringing her black bag forward!
“!”
SLAM!
Selina rolled to the side as she felt her instincts scream at her and she barely managed to avoid an entire tree slamming down on the spot she had been in! She jumped up as she saw another tree coming for her and raced through the forest once more, avoiding most of the trunks and branches that were trying to incapacitate her. Selina narrowed her eyes to see what was ahead of her and caught sight of a small ridge in the road that could act as cover. She reached behind her and pulled out a grenade!
Click!
Selina pulled the pin with her teeth just as she jumped over the ridge and tossed it behind her as she fell behind the cover. In the next moment, a massive explosion much more intense than anything a grenade should be capable of rang through the forest!
BOOM!
Selina had added her own mana into the grenade to improve its effectiveness, which allowed the grenade to possess three times the firepower of a normal grenade. Selina would have added even more mana to the grenade, but that would have made it unstable, and it might have imploded at any random moment, so she could only add a certain amount of mana to it!
