Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 403

Chapter 403: So This Much Weight Is Nothing!?
Luna turned around sharply, her eyes widening in shock as she saw a large mouth open right in front of her!

What the fuck!?

Luna had been so focused on the anima in front of her that she didn’t notice another one coming from the ocean behind her! Luna immediately raised her hand to summon another ice lance. Normally, stragglers like these would have been taken care of by the other fighters in Luna’s guild, but now that Luna didn’t have her guild members to take care of the weaker anima, she had let her guard down too much!

Luna turned away from the Eldritch, gathering mana in her hand before swinging it in an arc toward the monster behind her.

SLASH!

SQUELCH!

A blade of water suddenly grew out from the tip of Luna’s hand, formed from the moisture in the air! It blindsided the monster from its left, slashing through its body easily and severing its head in one move! The anima, a large piranha with many rows of sharp teeth, was already ready to tear Luna’s head from her body, but it was only a low-level calamity class, so it didn’t stand a chance against Luna’s attack and it died on the spot!

But the moment Luna took her attention off her construct, the giant sword lost a substantial amount of its momentum. The Eldritch raised its tentacles just as the sword was about to pierce its body and slammed them into the side of the blade, throwing it off course and making it fly to the side!

Luna cursed as she prepared to create another blade. There was nothing she could do about the first one since it was already beyond her control now! Although Luna knew she wasted a ton of mana just to create that blade, she couldn’t make something that large move without wasting a lot more of her mana and stamina, so she decided it would be better to just create a new one.

ZOOM!!

A black blur suddenly jumped over the large ice wall surrounding the fight, and Luna turned as she saw Mark racing toward the falling sword like a rocket! What the hell was Mark planning to do!?

ROARR!!

BOOM!

The Eldritch noticed Mark approaching and roared in agitation, throwing its tentacle out at him! Mark dodged to the side, letting the tentacle strike the ground beside him, before sliding under another tentacle that was about to take his head off! Mark picked up speed, completely ignoring the Eldritch as he raced to try and get the blade before it hit the ground! The tip of the large blade slammed into the ground, and Mark jumped over it to reach the other side! The blade looked just like a sword that had its handle broken off, so Luna wondered what Mark was trying to do when she saw him running to the other end! Is Mark really going to grab it from the side like that!?

Luna knew the blade she created weighed more than a four hundred tons, so trying to lift it off the ground without any support like a handle was going to be almost impossible! But she was stunned when she saw Mark doing just that! Mark grabbed hold of it from the side, slammed his feet into the ground, and gritted his teeth as he heaved the large blade up!

The construct Luna created from ice was made from solidified water. In its solid form, ice weighed about one kilogram per cubic meter. That meant this block of ice that was fifty meters by ten meters with a thickness of about one meter, weighed close to five hundred thousand kilograms! And that weight was only amplified by the fact that Mark was lifting it from one end, far away from the center of mass. That was the same as trying to lift four residential buildings using a very long stick!

Mark lifted the sword like it was his bitch!

“RARRRRGGH!”

[Lightning Surge has been activated!]

BZZT!

Lightning danced across the entire sword from Mark’s gloves, sharpening the blade even further as the veins on Mark’s neck bulged from the exertion! Mark’s feet dug into the ground, and everyone looked on in shock as he lifted the large blade of ice! The Eldritch roared in anger as it tried to slam Mark into the ground once more, but Mark didn’t even give it time to recover as he moved his body to the side and swung the giant blade!

WOOSH!

SQUELCH!

ROOARRRRRR!!!

Once Mark swung the blade, it cut through the air before slicing into the Eldritch’s body, severing another tentacle and tearing off a large portion of its body! The weight of the blade was so immense that the moment Mark reached the apex of his swing, the entire blade tore itself out from his grip and flew to the side! It flipped through the air for a few hundred meters, traveling closer and closer to the pier! A woman who had been standing on top of a cargo container and recording the fight with wide-eyed awe could only watch in dread as the giant sword raced toward her like an executioner’s axe!

Her entire life flashed before her eyes as the blade came closer and closer, and it was as if her legs were glued to the ground as she couldn’t even move to get out of the way!

“S-Save me…”

BOOM!

The sword stabbed into the ground right in front of the container, sending a tremor through the ground and causing a mini earthquake to race across the entire coast. The woman’s legs went weak as she fell to her knees and she put her hand to her chest and tried to calm her racing heart! She thought she was going to die right there!

[Holy shit! Did you see that!? That was awesome! For those of you watching at home, GHOST just used an enormous blade crafted by Luna to cut off a large part of the Eldritch monster! That ice must have weighed over four hundred tons! How did he even lift that!?]

Henry, the reporter on another cargo container at the side was shouting in excitement once he saw what GHOST did! He couldn’t believe that GHOST could even lift something that heavy, let alone swing it around like a real sword! The female reporter and the cameraman were also stunned, and none of them could even say a word as they just watched the fight unfolding! The female reporter was still angry that Henry was the one handling the report instead of her, but she knew that she couldn’t do anything right now because of the way she put them in danger before. She lost her right to boss them around after doing something like this. She turned to watch Henry as he gave his report and she bit her bottom lip slightly when she saw the way his face was glowing in happiness.

Henry was doing surprisingly well for his first time, especially since it was in such a difficult and sudden situation. Maybe she should finally give him a chance to be a reporter.

…

ROARRRRR!!

The Eldritch monster released another roar of pain, and Mark prepared himself to launch another attack. The monster was at a disadvantage right now, and if they took advantage of this moment, they would be able to kill it once and for all.
