Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 414

Chapter 414: How Do I Get Stronger?
“If you’re out of mana, you can stay back and rest. I figured out a way to deal with the anima, so I shouldn’t take too long to finish off the first one. I’ll handle the second one once I’m done with that.”

Mark dismissed Luna brutally as he started to walk away from her, and Luna felt her heart breaking once she saw Mark turn away to leave. Her face fell as her outstretched hand slowly fell to her side. This was just like that day all over again. She was still the same as before, standing in one place as KING walked away from her.

Was she really going to let things end like this?

Luna didn’t know why, but she just felt like this moment was a turning point in her life. Luna could simply do as Mark said and allow him to handle the Eldritch. Since Mark said he could handle them both, she didn’t have to do anything right now. But if she did that, Luna knew that it would be the last time she ever got to stand beside him. Just like before, when KING left her to fight against the Armageddon all on his own, Luna knew that if Mark left now, she would be standing in the same place for the rest of her life.

“No.”

Luna said one word, and Mark looked back curiously as he saw Luna walking up to him with a furious look on her face. Luna glared at the Eldritch in front of her with hatred as she stood beside Mark before she turned to look at him.

“I’ll fight too. I won’t hold you back, I promise.”

Mark looked Luna over critically, trying to see if she was serious or not. Mark was tempted to just tell her to sit this one out because of her nasty habit of holding herself back, but for some reason, Mark felt like he shouldn’t tell her to leave. The look in her eyes was telling Mark that Luna was fucking serious about fighting properly this time.

Luna gazed up at Mark and met his gaze evenly and even though there were thousands of things she wanted to say at that moment, she held back and made sure that he could see her resolve. This was not going to be like the last time. He wasn’t going to leave her behind again.

Mark grinned while tightening his gloves.

“You better keep up.”

Luna nodded as she raised her hand, and Mark crouched before blasting off the ground!

BOOM!

Luna immediately grabbed hold of all the moisture in the air and threw her hand down, forcing all of it to immediately fall to the ground, clearing the large plume of smoke that had been covering them! The Shark and Octopus Eldritch both noticed them at the same time, roaring in agitation as they started to move toward them! Mark was racing towards the two monsters, and he was stunned when he saw Luna running right beside him! What the hell is she doing? Luna would normally stay back and provide support, so Mark was wondering what Luna was thinking by moving forward!

“I’ll handle the shark! You can take the other one!”

Luna shouted this to Mark, and Mark grinned and nodded once before crouching down and flashing toward the Octopus! The Eldritch slammed its tentacle into the ground, trying to crush Mark, but Mark easily dodged around it and continued running towards the large monster! The Octopus opened its mouth wide, and Mark already knew what was about to happen as he changed his direction and started to run to the opposite side at the same moment that the octopus unleashed a stream of acidic ink!

BLAST!

The ink slammed into the ground, and Mark managed to easily avoid all of it! He ran around the octopus and kept his eyes out for the perfect tentacle to use in lifting himself up!

‘There!’

Grab!

Mark immediately lashed out as a tentacle passed him, and he grabbed hold of the appendage, allowing it to lift him into the air and toward the octopus! Mark held on until the tentacle was at the peak of its flight before he let go at the perfect moment and started to freefall toward the octopus! Mark was falling right towards the second red spot where he knew the octopus’s heart was! The wind blasted across his face, and Mark narrowed his eyes to keep his focus sharp! A tentacle came from the side, trying to slam him out of the air, and Mark wisely used the wind pressure to slow himself down at the right moment, allowing the tentacle to pass by before he continued to fall!

ROARRRR!

On the other side of the clearing, Luna was doing her best to hold back the shark! Luna’s heart was beating a mile a minute, and the amount of adrenaline currently flowing through her veins was immense! She felt like she was floating in the air!

‘He’s alive. He’s alive. He’s alive! He’s ALIVE!’

This thought just kept running through Luna’s mind over and over again! Luna couldn’t believe that KING was alive! Luna couldn’t believe that Mark was KING! Luna dodged under an icicle created by the shark anima and rolled forward as the shark tried to stab her with one of its legs! Luna didn’t know it, but a smile was already starting to spread across her face in the middle of the fight! Just the mere thought of Mark was enough to make her forget about the tense situation she was in! Even the shark was shocked as it saw Luna’s smile!

Luna grabbed hold of the water from the side and formed a large spike from it that she threw at the shark, but Luna felt her smile die down as the shark grabbed hold of the spike and easily turned it into mist, destroying her construct once more! Luna frowned in anger as she created another one, trying to slice the shark in half, but the shark took control of this one too, and turned it on her, forcing Luna to move out of the way unless she wanted to be cut in half!

Even though Luna now had a ton of energy due to the adrenaline running through her veins, that did not mean she was suddenly stronger. In fact, Luna was even weaker than she had been at the start of this fight. Luna did not have as much mana as she did before, and the amount of punishment that Luna had endured at the hands of the anima was so much that her stamina was practically less than half of what it should be!

Luna’s mind started to race as she finally started to think for the first time in a long time about how she could get stronger.

Luna knew that she didn’t have enough mana. And that she also didn’t have enough stamina. If she tried to create anything, the shark could easily take control of it and turn it against her. What was she doing wrong?
