Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Their First Victory
‘Where the fuck is that little boy!?’

A loud laugh echoed from above the clearing, and Selina looked up in shock as she saw James falling through the air! James raised his joined hands above his head before delivering a wicked hammer blow that slammed into Selina’s head.

BAM!

“Gah!”

James used the opening he just created, spun around, and slammed his knee into Selina’s temple. He grabbed her long hair and pulled it back as he drove his other knee forward with a wide smile on his face.

“Can you feel it!? That is the impact of my love! I brought all of it just for you!”

SLAM!

James’ knee slammed into Selina’s nose, and she saw stars on the edge of her vision as she swiped her hand around to try and get James away from her. Selina felt her entire head ringing in pain from the consecutive hits, but she bit the inside of her cheek and brought herself back to reality by force as she saw James coming towards her for another attack. Selina dodged James’ kick and slammed her fist into his stomach with a shout.

“Don’t fuck with me, you bastard!!”

Selina has been through hell and back with these two kids! She was bleeding from her shoulder, her back, and her nose because of these bastards! Selina didn’t even remember the last time anyone made her bleed! She wasn’t going to allow this to go on! Selina pointed her gun at James to blow him away, but the sound that came out was the last thing she wanted to hear.

Click!

‘Fuck! It’s empty!’

BAM!

The tree behind Selina slammed into her back with force, throwing her forward and making her slam against another tree! She got to her feet quickly and used her knife to cut some vines that were trying to wrap themselves around her. She didn’t care if her guns were gone! She was still going to gut that boy even if it was the last thing she did!

Selina looked around for James and she grit her teeth in annoyance when she didn’t see him anymore! Where the hell did he run off to!?

“Can you feel my love!?”

Selina looked up again as she heard that shout and she saw James with his hand drawn back, dropping from a tree above her! Selina prepared her knife to intercept the attack, but before she could do that, something grabbed her from behind! It was soft and fluffy and Selina didn’t need to think long before she knew exactly what it was!

“TEDDY!”

Talia shouted out in excitement as Teddy appeared once more. It was torn and shredded in many places and one of its eyes was completely destroyed, but the teddy bear held on tight with all its strength! Selina reached back to throw it off, but more vines grew from the ground and wrapped around her, trapping her hand to her body and preventing her from moving!

This amount of force would normally not be enough to hold Selina down, but after all the punishment she already endured from the two kids, she didn’t have the strength to throw the summoned beasts off in time! Selina looked up with wide eyes, and the last thing she heard was James’ loud laugh as he proclaimed his love for her!

“Feel my love!!”

SLAM!!

The gauntlet slammed into Selina’s head like an anvil, rattling her brain and knocking her out cold! James knew that this punch would be enough to knock Selina out, so he tried his best not to stab her with his knife.

Once Selina was out cold, James landed on the ground beside her. He took a step back and fell to his ass with a loud sigh of tiredness. The gauntlets disappeared from his hands and he could hear Lust whispering approvingly in his ear. His entire body was vibrating from the adrenaline and he felt like he just finished eating ten scoops of ice cream all at once!

“We actually did it!”

Thud!

The sound of something dropping to the ground made James turn around, and his eyes widened when he saw that it was Talia who had dropped!

“Talia!”

James shot off the ground in worry as he raced to Talia! He slid to a stop on his knees beside her and grabbed her by the shoulder before bringing her up.

“Talia. Talia. Can you hear me? Are you okay? Talia, come on, talk to me. Talia?”

James became worried when he didn’t feel any movement from Talia for a moment. He thought that she had died right then, and the amount of anguish that filled him when that thought entered his head would have been enough to plunge him into depression immediately! But after a few seconds, Talia raised a hand and gave James a small pat on the chest.

“Don’t worry about me. I just ran out of mana. I need to rest.”

James breathed out a sigh of relief as he heard that, and he tightened his hold on Talia as he looked around the clearing. James couldn’t believe they actually won. They beat an S-rank.

Talia spoke up tiredly when she saw the look of wonderment on James’ face. She knew what that look was and if not for the fact that she was dead tired, she would have had the exact same look.

“You can’t believe it either, right? We actually did it. We beat an S-rank! Just wait till I tell Big Brother about this. He’s going to be so proud… of… me.”

Talia’s eyes slowly closed and James quickly put his head on her chest to make sure that her heart was still beating. Once James was sure that Talia was only sleeping, he breathed out a sigh in relief, but he suddenly drew his head back when he realized what he had just done! He blushed a little while looking at Talia’s chest before shaking his head and trying to get up. If Talia was conscious, she would have smacked him for doing that.

James still had to find his parents and they had to check and make sure that Arit was okay. They couldn’t waste time here.

“Oof!”

James tried to get up, but he couldn’t even take a step forward before he fell back on his ass. He couldn’t feel his legs and his entire body was shouting at him to just rest. James decided that he could spare a few minutes. He looked at Talia’s summons that were still surrounding them, and the summons seemed to understand what he was trying to say as they formed a protective circle around the both of them. James laid Talia down under the shade of a tree and he sat down against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to finally rest.

…

A step to the left.

Another step to the right.

Duck.

There’s a string coming from the right, the best option is to grab it. Drag the wire forward and force him to move to the left so he misses his attack from the right.

Another step to the right.

Arit could see all of it. Arit could see every pathway that the strings were planning to take. Arit could feel George’s killing intent telling her exactly where he planned to attack. Arit knew that this was not something normal. This was the result of her transformation. Was this how Anima felt all the time? Could all Anima use these sorts of instincts to automatically evade any attack even though they can’t see it? This is amazing.
