Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Your Ass Is Mine!
Some of the Calamity-class monsters around the Eldritch weren’t able to get out of the way quickly enough, and they were also covered by the acid and melted into liquid!

In the distance, some superhumans were standing on top of some containers to watch the fight that was happening. They were members of the Moonlight Guild and other superhumans from other guilds. They were all worried about the appearance of the new Eldritch, and they wondered if they should jump in to try and help. But the caliber of this fight was something that they didn’t see themselves walking away from alive. If they got involved in any of the fights here, then they would surely die!

“What do we do? We can’t even get close to either one of those fights. How can we help Madam Luna?”

The person who spoke was someone from Luna’s Moonlight Guild, and they were talking to one of the squad captains of the Moonlight Guild—a tall man with blue hair and black eyes who had a blessing from Zeus that allowed him to control and manipulate air currents. The man frowned in frustration as he looked at the massive battle going on around them. They had taken care of all the civilians, so there was no risk of them getting hurt anymore, and they had also killed most of the anima that were at the festival. But even though they did all this, there was nothing that they could do to help out in this fight.

The man looked towards the other side of the pier, where Luna and the shark-based Eldritch were engaged in a battle of ice and steam that was threatening to reshape the entire region, and he knew that they were way out of their depth. Usually, whenever the Moonlight Guild was going in for a battle, Luna would pick out the best superhumans for that fight based on their abilities, and they would work around her to try and aid her in isolating the monster so she could finish it off. But since the battle was already raging, the squad captain knew that going in now would only distract Luna and make her lose focus.

The squad captain shook his head.

“No, let’s stay on standby. If we see that they need help, then we can go in to extract them. For now, let’s just believe that they can handle things on their own.”

…

‘Okay, now it has to work! Don’t you fucking play with me!’

Mark thought this angrily as he turned towards the Eldritch and activated his [Achilles Heel] once more. Mark’s stats weren’t up to the recommended points, but if you added up the extra points that Mark got as bonuses from his different skills as well as from his title, then Mark was very close! Mark was sure that the skill would work!

[Achilles Heel] has been activated!

[Achilles Heel] has been deactivated!

[Achilles Heel] has been forcefully activated!

Mark’s eyes immediately turned red from the strain as blood rushed through the veins there, but Mark was grateful when he didn’t feel any blood leaking from his sockets! He gazed at the Eldritch, and he was immediately excited when he saw the world blur into various shades of grey to show that the skill worked!

But a frown formed on his face when he saw three large red dots arranged in a triangle in the center of the octopus’s body. What the hell are those? The three dots were constantly expanding and contracting at regular intervals, and it didn’t take long for Mark to realize that they were beating!

Wait. I know this! I fucking know this! Mark felt like a kid who was figuring out the answer to an exam in the middle of a test!

During one of the classes that Mark was sleeping through, he remembered that Arit woke him up in the middle of the class and forced him to listen to a part that the teacher said would be on a test later. The teacher was talking about sea creatures and their internal organs, and there was one thing that stuck with Mark during that talk because of how absurdly insane it sounded. The teacher only said it in passing because it wasn’t even on the curriculum, but Mark could never forget it!

Octopuses all have three hearts!

“HahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAH!!”

A chuckle escaped from Mark’s mouth as he recalled this memory, and it didn’t take long before Mark started to laugh like a madman! Mark was going to buy Arit whatever she wanted after this fight! He fucking loved that girl! This was everything he needed!

Mark found it hard to fight against the octopus all this time because of how well it absorbed impact force and because of how thick its skin was. All of Mark’s punches were easily absorbed by the skin. But now that Mark knew exactly where to hit, he didn’t need to worry about that anymore because Mark had a skill that would completely ignore the octopus’s invulnerability!

“Your fucking ass is mine!!”

Mark shouted at the top of his lungs as he changed direction and suddenly started to run towards the Eldritch! The monster was stunned by this and immediately roared in defiance as it thought Mark was challenging it. It rose all of its tentacles in the air and began to lash out at Mark with reckless abandon, intending to crush Mark once and for all!

Mark’s grin only widened when he noticed that the Eldritch didn’t use the ink attack anymore. It seems I was right. It can’t use the ink attack too many times before it runs out. It has to rest and replenish the ink before it can use it again!

Mark dodged under a tentacle and lashed his hand out to grab hold of another one as it passed by! He was lifted into the air, and he quickly let go of the tentacle in the middle of its flight so that he wouldn’t be flung away! He put his hand out and flowed around another tentacle that tried to hit him out of the air, flipping over it at just the right time to allow it to lift him even higher as he got closer and closer to the Eldritch! The Eldritch roared in irritation as Mark was right on top of it, and it opened its mouth wide, trying to consume Mark whole!

Mark lashed out and suddenly grabbed hold of a passing tentacle, and he used it to lift himself away from the mouth and toward the Eldritch’s head! Mark pulled back his fist, and lightning danced across his arm as three skills came to life at the same time!

[Divergent Fist]!

[Lihgtening Surge]!!

[Sonic Impact: Lightning]!

BOOOOMMM!!!

Mark’s fist slammed into the spot where he knew the first heart was located, and just like he expected, the anima’s body rippled with the punch, easily absorbing all the damage that would have normally torn the skin to shreds. But the real attack traveled past the surface, shooting a surge of lightning into the body of the Eldritch and piercing a hole through its heart that immediately erupted from the attack!

BURST!

The scream that the Eldritch released was like music to Mark’s ears!

ROARRRRRRR!!!!

…

Luna dodged to the side to avoid a massive icicle that was shot at her! A large geyser of water burst out from the ocean beside her and then shot towards her like an arrow, intending to pierce her! Luna put her hand out and grabbed control of the water molecules in the air to form a wall that stopped the water in its tracks!

BLAST!

The water slammed against the wall, and the wall held strong and prevented any of the water from even touching Luna!

ROARRRRRRR!!!!

A loud roar from the side drew Luna’s attention towards Mark’s fight against the octopus-based Eldritch.
