Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: They Call Themselves S
“Tell me who sent you.”

George choked on some blood and coughed. Arit tightened her hand even more, and George held her hand tiredly while talking.

“I-I don’t know, I don’t know who sent me. I just got a message, and they told us to get you and that little girl. Please.”

Arit felt irritated once she heard George say this. Arit hoped that she would at least be able to get the name of his employer from him. From everything that they had been saying, Arit knew that George and Selina were just mercenaries, so that meant there had to be someone else helping them behind the scenes.

“What about Mark? What are you all planning for him?”

“I-I don’t know – grk!”

Arit tightened her hand even more, and George almost died right there as he felt his windpipe being squeezed shut! He immediately shouted out loudly!

“They sent the anima here! They were the ones that sent the anima! I-I don’t have any names, but I have a group. I know the name of the group! Let me go, and I’ll tell you!”

Arit glared at George as her pressure pressed down on him.

“Tell me the name, and I’ll think about letting you go.”

George was breathing heavily, and he looked down into Arit’s eyes to see if he could trust her words. George knew that Arit could kill him with just a single squeeze right now, so he had to preserve his life any way he could. But when he looked into Arit’s eyes, he didn’t see anything there. Her eyes were still narrowed, and there was nothing there but pure anger. George couldn’t guess what was going through Arit’s mind at that moment, so he just swallowed and decided to bite the bullet.

“They call themselves S. That is what they called themselves.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, that is what I heard them calling themselves. S. T-They never told us much, but the only thing I know is that they were obsessed with some KING! They kept talking about killing him! I don’t know anything more than that! I swear!”

An intense rage flashed across Arit’s eyes once she heard him mention the KING, and Arit growled in anger! Who the hell do they think they are!? They were going after the king!? She would kill each and every one of them! Arit’s hands tightened into fists unconsciously as her anger grew!

CRACK!

Arit suddenly paused as she heard a loud crack, and she blinked in surprise when she saw that she had accidentally killed George. Oh, that wasn’t what she wanted to do at all. She was actually planning to torture him before killing him.

Arit frowned in annoyance as she just threw George to the side, and his lifeless body landed in a heap at the corner. Arit spread her wings out and flapped them once as she blasted through the roof of the building to get a good look at the surrounding land.

Arit knew that she had to warn Mark about what was happening. Arit couldn’t be sure if Mark knew about this S or not, but she just wanted to make sure Mark was okay. Arit was about to fly off to find Mark immediately, but at the last moment, she suddenly remembered Talia and she stopped. She had to go and make sure that Talia was fine. Talia and James were probably somewhere in the forest, so Arit had to make sure that they were fine before she could go to Mark. Arit frowned slightly as she thought about just going to Mark without bothering to look for Talia. Arit wanted to be with Mark as quickly as possible! But Arit couldn’t do that.

Mark would be mad at her if she didn’t take care of Talia first.

Arit turned to the forest and allowed her eyes to scan over it calmly as she searched for Talia. There were some fights still taking place in the forest. An S-rank was fighting against a low-level calamity towards the east of the forest, and from what Arit could see, he would win against it soon. There was a small group of humans being led through the thicker part of the forest by two A-ranks. They were probably going to the bunker. Arit knew they would not be able to make it into the bunker since it was already closed, but she didn’t pay them much mind as she turned away from them uninterestedly.

Finally, after searching for a while, Arit caught sight of Talia close to the west side of the forest. Arit was resting under a tree along with James, and there were various animated trees standing around them protectively. Were they Talia’s summons? That’s good. At least they were protecting her.

Arit flew down to the forest to make her way to Talia, but on her way there, she stopped as she saw something hidden inside the bushes. Isn’t that Greg and his wife?

…

In the clearing, James heard something moving from the side, and he opened one of his eyes blearily to see what was there. Even though James was tired, he was still on high alert after the fight that they just had, and he gave the part of the forest that he heard the noise from a narrowed glare.

“Growl~!”

James felt his entire body lock up as he heard a deep growl from that side of the forest. That was an anima, wasn’t it? It was definitely an anima!

‘What is an anima doing here? I thought there were superhumans taking care of them!’

James put his hand out protectively to try and drag Talia closer to him when he saw the foliage clearing out to reveal the most disgusting thing that James had ever seen in his life. A two-headed, multi-armed freak of nature that towered over them like some sort of alien species. The anima in front of James had bloated purple skin and two large stump-like legs that barely managed to carry it forward.

The anima had come from the western side of the forest, so it had missed the superhumans that were supposed to make sure that it didn’t come this close to the hotel. Once the anima got into the clearing, it looked around with its four eyes, scanning the surroundings curiously until its gaze landed on James and Talia. A nasty growl left the anima’s throat, and it began to move toward them threateningly.

The trees around James and Talia prepared for an attack, but James could tell just from looking at the anima in front of him that they wouldn’t stand a chance against it. They had already exhausted most of their mana when fighting against Selina, so they were just running on fumes right now!

Doon!

All of a sudden, the anima stopped as it felt something oppressive pressing down on it! The anima felt a shiver go down its spine as it turned its heads around to look at the surrounding forest, trying to see where that feeling came from!
