Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 410

Chapter 410: We Are True Denizens Of The Ocean!
ROARRRRRRR!!!!

A loud roar from the side drew Luna’s attention towards Mark’s fight against the octopus-based Eldritch. The shout that Luna just heard was definitely from the Eldritch, but it was much louder than anything she had ever heard from it before. There was an undertone of extreme pain in that roar, and Luna knew that something must have really hurt that anima.

‘Did Mark manage to hurt the Eldritch? How did he do it? I thought his fighting style was weak against that anima.’

Luna had been worried about Mark, and she was initially trying her best to finish this fight as quickly as possible so that she could go and help him in his own fight. But now that she was hearing that roar, she didn’t think she needed to go and help him anymore.

RARGH!

Luna immediately had to jump back as the shark anima charged at her and tried to stab her with its large crab leg! It jumped at her once it noticed that she dodged and tried to take a bite out of her with its large teeth, but Luna immediately shot out a blast of water that surrounded it and froze in place, suspending it in the air like a trophy!

A surge of steam blasted out from the shark’s skin, and before long, the water holding it up immediately vaporized, and the shark was free once more! Luna cursed as she tried to create some more space between the two of them. This was turning into a very annoying fight for Luna! Luna had never seen an anima that had this level of control over water before.

Not only was it able to withstand almost all of the attacks that Luna threw at it, but it also had the ability to copy anything Luan did with water! It could create water constructs just the same way that Luna could, and the speed at which it could do it was almost like whiplash! For the first time in her life, Luna felt like she was being outmatched in her own element!

“Foolish human. You dare stand in the way of the sea? We came here to destroy the KING once and for all, do not stand in our way! We are true denizens of the sea, creatures born from the ocean. You can never hope to compare with your basic tricks.”

This was something else that Luna just couldn’t seem to get used to. The anima could talk. And not only was it talking, it was talking fluently, as if it possessed a high level of intelligence. Luna had no idea that there were even anima that could talk!

Mark was the only one who heard the anima talking on the island raid a long time ago, and he never told anyone about the fact that the anima could talk, so this came as a real shock to Luna.

Luna wondered what the anima was talking about when it mentioned the KING. Luna didn’t know if the anima was talking about the same KING that she knew. There was no way that was possible.

KING is dead.

He died four years ago. Why would the anima come here looking for someone who was already dead? Luna didn’t have much time to think about it at all because the anima suddenly charged straight for her with its jaw wide open for another attack!

Luna put her hands together as she started preparing another attack. Luna felt for her mana levels and grimaced when she noticed that her mana was already down to half of what it was. She would have to be careful how she was throwing her magic around from now on. It would be bad if she ran out of mana in the middle of a fight like this.

A large pillar of water was summoned from the ocean by the shark, and it sent it towards Luna! Luna dodged the water, and it slammed into the ground, creating a deep trench that traveled for more than a hundred meters! Luna pulled water and transformed it into ice, shooting it at the shark before pulling even more water from the atmosphere, forming whips that lashed out and grabbed the shark by its legs to hold it in place! The shark roared in anger, and the water around its legs vaporized before it easily dodged around the projectiles.

“Weak! Humans are so weak! Is this the level that the KING’s subjects are at!? You don’t even possess the strength to rival the weakest of our forces!”

The shark raised its legs to stab down on Luna, and Luna immediately summoned a vast volume of water and poured her mana into it before boiling the water into a superheated phase quickly!

PHWOOM!

All the water suddenly vaporized, creating a massive plume of smoke and fog that covered the entire region in seconds! Luna pulled water from the ocean once more and used it to create an ice platform under her feet that allowed her to skate out of the way of the anima’s attack! She was barefoot, but the ice did nothing to hinder her movement as she controlled the ice while keeping an eye on the giant shark! The shark roared and charged at her again, breaking the ice under its claws easily as it tried to skewer her, and Luna quickly turned the ice in the region back to water and forced it to wrap around the shark!

The shark was immediately cocooned in a ball of water, and Luna grit her teeth as she started to compress her hands together and began to compress the space that the water occupied while keeping the volume constant! Since regular water was incompressible, what Luna was doing rapidly increased the internal pressure of the water as Luna tried to crush the anima inside the ball!

SWOOSH!

“W-What?”

Luna’s eyes widened as her control over the ball started to slip from her hands, and she felt the water expanding in the other direction before it suddenly burst out and freed the shark!

“Weak! You act as though water is your tool! Nothing but a weapon! How dare you treat the gift of nature in such a way!? This is why humans disgust me! You only take and take and take, trying to use everything around you like you own it! Water is my ally! The ally of the anima! I bid it to act, and it aids me; you are nothing in front of me!”

The shark continued its taunts as it grabbed control of the water from Luna and launched another attack at her! The water froze over and turned into thousands of spikes that shot at Luna, and Luna put her hand up in a sloppy defense that only managed to block some of the spikes! Some got through and stabbed Luna through the shoulder and thigh, but Luna grit her teeth and immediately made the ice vaporize before it could get too deep! Luna’s mana quickly got to work healing her injuries! Since Luna had partitioned her mana, she could heal her injuries while still fighting without any worries, so she just turned back to focus on the fight!

“Hahaha. Weak human. You fight like a little fledgling!”
