Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 388

Chapter 388: The Sin of Lust
“Hey, beautiful! Don’t you dare close those pretty eyes! Don’t take this moment away from me!”

Talia’s eyes shot open as she heard James suddenly shouting from somewhere above her. James landed on the ground in front of her, but Talia was stunned when she saw how James’ eyes were roaming over her body greedily! It was like James was trying to eat her with his gaze alone. James bent and grabbed a lock of Talia’s hair in his hands before bringing it up to his nose and taking in a deep breath.

James let out a pleasant sigh as he spoke lovingly.

“Ahhh~ The scent of a beautiful woman is like a warm autumn day. Refreshing beyond all measure. If you were a flower, you would be the most beautiful one standing out proudly in a garden. An alluring symbol of purity.”

“E-Eh? Eh! EEH!!”

Talia’s cheeks started to heat up as James poured compliments on her constantly. Even though they were in the middle of a fight!? What was James doing!? Talia could no longer see that proud, intense look that James had before; instead, it was replaced by a deep loving gaze that made her heart flutter in a strange way. Talia could only wonder what sort of blessing James had that allowed him to act like this.

James smiled as he saw Talia’s flustered state and his eyes finally trailed down to her chest and Talia saw a frown form on James’ face before James hummed.

“Now, if only you had bigger boobs.”

A tick mark appeared over Talia’s head and she immediately kicked James’s leg in anger, making him stumble forward with a small laugh.

‘Make good use of my contract, boy. Let your lust run through you and embrace it to the fullest. Pride is nothing but a brute. I shall show you how to win both this fight as well as a woman’s heart.’

James smiled as the voice of Lust rang through his head. James no longer had the staff in his hand. Instead, his hands were covered with two gauntlets that had sharp retractable blades protruding out from his knuckles. Lust did not like to use ranged weapons because you must get close to your lover in order to seduce them. It is the same in a fight. You must get close to your enemy in order to defeat them.

James gave Talia another roguish grin and Talia’s blush spread even more as she told James to focus!

“I-I have a plan! I think she is almost out of bullets, but I need to be sure before I can carry out the plan. If you can make her run out, then I can capture her using the last of my mana. I can’t help you a lot right now since I need to preserve mana. Can you do it?”

James took another deep breath before he sighed and stood up. He gave Talia a loving smile.

“Anything for you, my love.”

“Uhh!”

Talia shook her head quickly. Her face was very hot as she felt the full force of James’ flirting pouring on her, and she had to struggle not to let it affect her as she turned to watch Selina. James turned as well and gave Selina a longing stare while bowing to her.

“A woman as beautiful as you is more deserving of love than any other being in this world and the world after. As the champion of lust, it will be my greatest honor to bestow true love upon you. After all, the greatest form of love is suffering.”

James started to walk forward confidently as he felt a new wave of mana flowing through his body. After he got hit with the explosion from that sniper bullet, he ran out of mana from his contract with Pride, and the contract was temporarily cut off. Pride was obviously not impressed by James’ performance, but Pride still praised James and told him that he would not mind making another contract with him in the future. Once Pride left, another demon appeared; this time, it was Lust, a feminine demon that embodied the very essence of sexuality. After he made the contract with her, James also gained a new surge of mana that allowed him to continue fighting as if he had never gotten injured in the first place.

Two of Talia’s summons flanked James on the sides, and Selina prepared her knife and gun as she glared at them. James grinned as he blasted forward to face her once more and Selina brought up her rifle and aimed at him!

Selina couldn’t believe just how far these kids were pushing her. Selina already knew that Talia would be an issue if they ever fought. Videos of Talia using her blessing to save people from Anima attacks were all over the internet, so Selina knew that Talia had an immense amount of potential, but it would have been easy to handle Talia if she was alone. The real issue was James. Selina didn’t think that James would suddenly gain such a massive power boost, and she had no idea how it happened. And now that they were fighting against her together, it was as if she was fighting against another S-rank superhuman. They were covering each other’s faults, and their teamwork was unbelievable for kids their age.

‘If these two become a team in the future, they would make a dangerous pair.’

James was right on top of Selina, and Selina fired off her gun at point-blank range, hoping to kill James right there!

BOOM!

A large trunk appeared from the side, blocking the flames from reaching James, and James laughed loudly as he spun in the air and slammed his fist into Selina’s face!

Clang!

Selina allowed the punch to hit while using the knife her knife to prevent the knife protruding out of James’s gauntlet from cutting her! She pushed him back before jumping back as well to avoid a hit from one of Talia’s summons! Selina aimed her gun at the tree in front of her and unleashed another bullet, and this time, the explosion blew a hole straight through the tree, and the tree groaned as it started to fall over. Talia grunted from behind as she squeezed out even more mana, trying her hardest to create even more summons to help out! Just a little more time! Talia was sure that Selina was almost out of mana!

Selina watched the tree fall, but she didn’t have time to focus too much on it as more vines shot out from the ground and started to attack her as well! They lashed out at her with their sharp ends, trying to skewer her, but Selina easily used her combat knife to slice through most of them! She cut one that was trying to stab through her arm, and another one that tried to wrap around her wrist ended up getting torn in half as Selina dragged her arm back with force! Selina cut through another three vines before a thought finally seemed to pop into her mind.

‘Where the fuck is that little boy!?’
