Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 390

Chapter 390: An Anima’s Instincts
‘Don’t compare what we can do to the abilities of those lower-class Anima. We possess a much higher instinct than they ever will. A level of instinct that can almost be classified as seeing into the future, as well as inhuman reflexes that allow you to keep up with those instincts. When we pair these things together, we are unstoppable.’

Arit dodged a string that tried to cut her shoulder by a hair’s breadth before raising her hand and using her sharp nails to cut through another string that tried to cut through her neck.

I see.

So these are the instincts Queen was talking about. A feeling that could only come when Arit fully accepted her Anima side. Arit felt as though she had gained an extra eye all of a sudden. Some sort of sixth sense. She could see things that she normally would not be able to. She didn’t even need to think or analyze anything! Arit’s mind easily processed what was happening around her and guided her on the best possible action at the moment. It was like a child learning to walk for the first time. Arit’s mouth split into a small smile as she continued to walk forward. There was a new surge of confidence in Arit’s movement, and she decided that it was time for her to end this fight.

George was having the biggest crisis of his life. The fight between him and Arit had been going on for only two minutes, but right from the beginning, George could feel the fight slipping through his hands. George has been the one attacking Arit with his strings and blades for a while now. But there was something very wrong here. Why wasn’t he touching Arit!? It wasn’t as though George was missing his attacks! George knew exactly where Arit was, and he even had enough mana to send as many strings as he wanted at her! But for some reason, George just couldn’t touch Arit!?

Arit would move out of the way of George’s attacks at just the right moment, barely evading it by a hair’s breadth as she made her way towards him. The room that they were in was completely filled with George’s strings; every wall had a string tied to it, and the space in between was like a maze of strings that formed a protective matrix around George. George watched as Arit used her long nails to tear through another layer of his strings before continuing her way to him.

George thought about running away from Arit, but for some reason, when he looked into Arit’s yellow eyes that were glued to his own, George knew that running would be impossible. From the small confrontation that they had, George could tell that Arit was stronger than him; and since she also had the ability to fly, George couldn’t escape!

It was obvious that George was going to have to pull out all the stops if he wanted to stand a chance against Arit. George only hoped that Selina was having a much easier time than this!

George poured his mana out of his body and Arit stopped advancing as she saw strings being created at a rapid pace. George rolled the strings together and twisted them into two long rope-like whips that he grabbed in each hand. Since Arit was so good at dodging the strings he sent out, George decided that it was time he handled attacking by himself!

Whip!

George cracked the whip in his right hand and he spoke up.

“I thought you were just a normal girl, but it seems you’re more of an anima than you are a human. Well, if it’s animas, then I’m used to handling them. I’ll tame you right here.”

Arit felt a deep surge of anger growing out of her once George said this! Who the fuck is this vermin talking to like that!? But instead of allowing the anger to blind her into attacking senselessly, she internalized the anger and allowed it to fuel her determination as she prepared for whatever George was going to do! Arit wanted to rush in, but her instincts were telling her to calm down and see exactly what George was capable of before counterattacking.

Crack!

George lashed out with his string and Arit immediately bolted forward as she dashed away from the spot where he attacked! The whip slammed into the ground and broke through the concrete before George pulled it back and sent the other whip at Arit! Arit spread her wings out and used them to fly over the whip before she tucked the wings back in and fell to the ground as George sent out another cracking attack at her!

Crack!

The whip struck the far wall of the room and the entire wall crumbled to dust as the force from the whip obliterated it! George wasted no time as he started moving around slowly while continuously attacking Arit! He was shifting his position to more favorable spots and sending out fast and hard strikes that would incapacitate Arit if they hit, and Arit was constantly dodging around them easily. There was a small smile on her face as she evaded the whips and George grew more and more frantic as he sent out more strikes to try and throw Arit off!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Each strike released a loud sound as it struck nothing but air and Arit’s bloodthirsty smile only widened as she dashed to the side before flashing forward to attack George! George cursed and called on a lot of string to form a shield in front of him, but he was shocked when Arit spun in the air and used her nails to cut through the strings like they were nothing! Arit was right in front of George now and she crouched down as George took a large leap back to try and put some space between them! Arit sprang off her feet and lashed out with her nails and George brought both hands up to try and protect himself!

Arit stopped her movement in the last second, spun around, and unleashed a kick into George’s unprotected stomach, sending him through the wall and into the next room! George gasped in pain as he felt all the air leave his lungs, but he didn’t have any time to relax as Arit was right there again! She appeared in front of him with her wings spread out and both legs raised in the air before she delivered a dropkick into George’s stomach, driving him deep into the ground!

BOOM!

The force of the kick shook the entire hotel down to its foundation and George felt a few bones break in his chest! Arit got off him and reached down to grab him and George raised a single hand desperately to try and keep her away from him.

“W-Wait.. please.”

George begged for mercy and Arit glared at him before she brought him closer.

“Tell me who sent you.”
