Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Freeze The Ocean!
Luna landed on the container beside Mark with a smile, and Mark was already thinking up a new plan to finally finish the fight when the Eldritch suddenly released a loud scream like a siren that echoed through the coast!

PIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

The sound was so loud that even Mark had to put his hand up to his ear as he felt a sharp pain in his eardrums! What the hell was that anima doing!?

All the people at the pier were crouching over and covering their ears in pain as the sound threatened to deafen them! Even the anima that had been attacking the humans suddenly stopped what they were doing as they heard that sound, and before anyone knew what was going on, they abandoned the fight and started to run toward the pier!

The Eldritch recognized that it was at a disadvantage right now. It could see the danger that Mark posed and knew that if it allowed this fight to go on, it would eventually be killed by the combined efforts of Mark and Luna. The monster refused to let that happen! It continued to release the loud scream as it called on all the anima in the region to aid it!

Mark noticed that the anima was calling for reinforcements as all the remaining anima started to run toward the pier, but before they could get far, a large group of Superhumans appeared and engaged the anima, preventing them from getting too close to the fight! Mark didn’t recognize any of them, but Luna did. She put her hand up to her ear and spoke to her vice-captain.

“Lead the anima toward the other side of the island. There aren’t many people there, so it’ll be easier to use your blessing over there.”

[Yes, ma’am. Do you require any reinforcements? We can still spare some fighters and send them over to help you out.]

Luna raised a brow in surprise. She turned to glance at Mark before shaking her head.

“No need to bother. I have all the reinforcement I need here. Just focus on trying to save as many people as possible.”

[I understand, ma’am. We’ll be on standby should you still need us.]

DOON!

Mark and Luna looked back at the Eldritch, and Mark activated [Achilles’ Heel] as he felt something shaking from under his feet! The entire ocean started to churn and turn over, and before long, a large tsunami was coming toward the coast! Once Mark activated his eyes, he made sure not to focus on the Eldritch so that he wouldn’t lose his sight. Instead, he focused on the ocean, and Mark’s eyes narrowed at what he saw! There was a large horde of anima painting the ocean red as they raced toward the shore!

There was a large space somewhere in the middle of the horde where Mark couldn’t get any information with his Achilles’ Heel. It was just meant to be an empty space, but when Mark tried to focus on that space, he got the same message he got when he tried to scan the octopus-based Eldritch!

[Achilles’ Heel has been forcefully deactivated]

[User does not possess sufficient stamina to withstand the analysis.]

[Recommended Stats in order to activate this skill: Stamina > 4000 Durability > 3000]

[If the user activates this skill, they will lose their eyesight for 5 seconds. Does the user still wish to activate it?]

Mark immediately knew this was another Eldritch!

“Luna! Freeze the ocean! Spread it out for a kilometer starting from the edge of the pier! It doesn’t matter if anything’s in the way, just freeze it too!”

Mark suddenly shouted to Luna before he turned and crouched, glaring at the octopus-based Eldritch. He had to stop it from calling for help! Fighting one Eldritch was already bad enough! Having two of them here at the same time would be impossible to handle!

Luna was stunned when she heard Mark’s order and she put her hand out to do as she was told while asking him what was going on. Luna could see the tsunami rising from the horizon, but she thought it was just a result of the tremors that were shaking the ground. If Mark was asking her to freeze the ocean, doesn’t that mean something is coming!?

“What happened!? Did you see something!?”

“An Eldritch is coming! It’s almost as strong as this one! We need to freeze the ocean! Just freeze everything!”

Luna’s eyes widened when she heard Mark say this. Luna didn’t know how Mark was able to tell that an Eldritch was coming in the first place. How did he manage to notice it when she wasn’t able to? But Luna wasn’t going to question Mark when he looked that serious. Mark had never asked her to do something that wasn’t necessary, so she put her trust in him and poured her mana out from her body as she started to freeze the ocean. The top of the ocean began to solidify as the ice spread out for more than a kilometer past the coast.

Due to the unique property of ice that makes it less dense than water, all the ice that Luna was creating was surging to the top of the water, forcing her to freeze the pier from the top to the bottom. Luna tried her best to force the water to freeze quicker, and she was able to form more than ten meters of thick ice over the water in less than three seconds!

The ships and boats that had been floating on the ocean all began to freeze over and crack as Luna’s ice started to weaken their structural integrity!

DOON!

Crack!

A massive force slammed against the bottom of the ice, and a large crack formed across the frozen ocean! Luna frowned as she used her mana to try and fix the cracks! She poured out even more mana and used it to continue increasing the thickness of the ice while fixing the cracks at the same time!

DOON!

Crack!

Another hit from beneath the ice echoed across the area and new cracks started to form as Luna shouted to Mark!

“I don’t know if I can hold it for long! If you’re going to do something, then do it now!!”

It was a testament to her insane control over water that Luna was still managing to hold onto the ice at all right now! Every time the ice cracked, Luna grabbed the pieces with her blessing and forced the molecules between the cracks to bond together and then re-solidify into a new block! Luna was converting water to ice while also holding together the molecular bonds of the ice itself! This was only possible due to how Luna partitioned her mana in her body using what Merlin had taught her. She could use a part of her mana to hold the ice together while using another part to create the ice!

BOOM!

Mark blasted off the container and flashed toward the Eldritch! The giant anima was still releasing that loud, siren-like scream, and Mark knew that all the anima around were only congregating because of it!

BZZT!

Blue electricity came to life all around Mark’s body as he activated his lightning surge! He flipped his body over and pulled his leg back as he activated another skill!

[Mana Circulation has been activated.]

[The user has sent mana to his legs.]

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!
