4.93% Strongest Superhuman System / Chapter 36: An Old Stripper

Capítulo 36: An Old Stripper

If the superhumans go to that island and the monsters there turn out to be much stronger than initially estimated, then there is no way anyone would be coming back alive.

'But that is none of my business. I am only going there for Arit after all.'

Mark leaned back and continued to listen as Milicent pointed out another spot on the map.

"We plan to give a beacon to the weaker members of the team to allow them to call for help if they are in trouble. That way, stronger members who are not busy will be able to move towards the weaker ones and aid them –"

Slam!

The door leading to the room suddenly crashed open and everyone turned to look at it in surprise! There was an old man standing there in a full suit! The old man was heavily built and immediately Mark saw him, Mark knew that this man was a superhuman! There was no doubt about it! 

The old man had a wide grin on his face that made him look like a crazy person as he grabbed his shirt and ripped it open!

RIPPP!

Mark was shocked by this, and he thought that the man was insane! Why the hell are you taking off your shirt once you enter a room!? Are you some sort of stripper!?

The old man turned out to be extremely buff under his shirt! His muscles were toned, and they looked perfect for fighting! There was a large scar running across his stomach, and it looked like it had only recently healed from an intense battle!

Mark didn't have any intention of finding out what an old stripper looked like, and he was already standing up to leave, but Mark was even more shocked as a prompt suddenly appeared on his system!

[New Mission Alert!]

[Hold Back the Attacker for Five Minutes!!]

[Reward]

+50 Strength Points

+50 Mana Points

[Failure]

Nil

Mark saw these messages, and he immediately rushed to his feet as he understood what was happening! This bastard was attacking him!?

Slam!

Milicent suddenly jumped to the side as a force stronger than anything Mark had ever felt before suddenly slammed into him, and Mark only managed to cross his hands in front of his body to protect himself as he was sent flying through the wall of the room!

Crash!

Mark flipped around and slammed his feet into the ground before looking up to see that the old man was right on top of him with his arm drawn back! Mark cocked his hand back and met the old man in the middle of the room!

Boom!!

"Rarggh!!"

Mark gritted his teeth and grunted as he pushed against the old man's fist with his own before sending the old man flying back!

Boom!

The old man was sent right back through the wall that they just crashed through, but the old man didn't even waste a second as he flew to his feet and rushed at Mark again! Mark also ran towards the old man, and they both started to exchange blows at an insane pace!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Back in the viewing room, Fiona sat up and started to walk backward in order to prevent them from getting close to her. She was not interested in being collateral damage in something like this! She also had no idea why the old man attacked Mark, but she knew who the old man was, and she also knew that he was the sort of person who could do whatever he wanted without anyone reprimanding him! She could only watch curiously as the two of them destroyed a second wall and finally burst into the main hall of the NSA!

Tylor was vibrating in excitement as he had to hold himself back physically from joining in on the fight! Tylor was someone who loved battle, and he was desperate to get involved in this fight, but Fiona was using her blessing to hold him back from getting involved because Fiona didn't want him to tarnish the Artemis guild's name by attacking Mark.

Slam!

"What the hell are they doing!?"

"They're coming through here! Run!"

The two fighting men were causing a large commotion as they tore through the NSA in their fight. Mark grabbed the old man by the wrist and dragged him up before turning around with a shout and throwing him into the ground! 

Boom!!

The old man's eyes widened in pain, but he was even more surprised as Mark threw him into the air and sent him flying through the ceiling!

Mark jumped into the air and drew his hand back as he threw three consecutive punches!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

[Critical Strike!!]

Ka-Boom!!

The old man had been blocking most of Mark's strikes with his arms crossed, but he was shocked when one of Mark's strikes suddenly felt much heavier than the others, and he was sent flying back from the intensity! He crashed into the wall of the room that they were fighting in, and he suddenly opened his mouth loudly and began to laugh!!

The critical strike ability allowed Mark to hit his target with twice the amount of power than normal, and it was strong enough that something like that Ant-headed Anima from before would have immediately died if it was hit with even one of them! But the old man was only laughing it off like it was nothing! This man's defense is no joke!

Mark heard the man laughing, and he flexed his hands to loosen the tension there before ducking low and dashing in again. Mark was only able to get the critical hit by luck. Mark only gave five consecutive hits, so the probability of getting the critical strike was only at 5%, and Mark was lucky enough to get it! Mark knew that from now on, it would be more difficult to get the critical strike!

"Hahahahahahah!!! Yes! Yes! Show me more!! Show me what you are made of, Mark Vanitas!!"

Mark didn't bother to respond as he rushed in with another fierce flurry of attacks! He ducked under the man's swing and sent a hit that sent the old man flying through the air! The old man flipped and used the wall as a ledge to launch himself towards Mark! He grabbed Mark around the waist, and the both of them crashed through the wall of the room and entered the next room!

"Holy shit! Are we under attack!?"

There were two officers having fun inside the room, they were standing closely and talking quietly between themselves as the male officer there was flirting with the beautiful female officer! But once the two superhumans crashed through the wall, the male officer ducked low in shock and reached for his gun as he shouted in shock! He quickly began to pull his trousers up and the female officer jumped to her feet and also started to dress while reaching for her gun, but both officers could only hold their fire and stare in shock as they saw who the old man was! They couldn't shoot at him even if they wanted to!

"What the hell is the chairman doing now!? He is going to destroy this building!"

"It doesn't matter! We have to get out of here!"

"Call Talia! She's the only one that can stop him!"

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

My sister really likes this old TV show Friends. I tried watching a few episodes with her (sibling bonding and all that), and apart from the constant background laughter, the show ain't so bad at all.

Capítulo 37: Luck

The old man was attacking Mark relentlessly, and Mark was guarding perfectly against the old man's attacks! The old man knew that at this rate, he would not be able to break through Mark's defenses since Mark was perfect at blocking and defending! The old man had to admit that he was not as physically strong as Mark, and he knew that he would have to change his strategy if he wanted to win this fight!

That was perfectly fine with him, though!

 He never intended to win against Mark with only brute strength! His true power was in something else!

Mark suddenly stopped defending as he noticed the old man's stance loosening, and Mark's hands blurred as five strikes landed!!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Critical Strike!!]

Boom!

There was a massive distortion of wind that echoed out from the man's fist as he sent a punch right back at Mark! Their two fists collided in the middle, and Mark was shocked when the man's hit canceled out his own! The old man clenched his fists at his side and went into a new fighting stance as waves began to echo out from his body! Mark thought that they were waves of wind, but he was wrong! They weren't from the wind at all. They were from sound!

The man suddenly disappeared faster than before and appeared in front of Mark with his arm drawn back, and Mark put up his hands to defend himself!

Ka-Boom!

The ground under Mark's feet couldn't even withstand the force of the hit, and Mark was sent crashing through the floor and into the room below! The old man propelled himself down to continue attacking, but he was immediately grabbed by Mark and thrown into the wall with a shout!

"Aarghh!!"

Smash!

The old man sent a wave of sound out from his back, and his momentum was slowed before he could crash into the wall! The wall behind him cracked and splintered, but there was barely any damage done to him as he landed on the floor before he could hit the wall!

Once Mark saw this, Mark immediately began to analyze what sort of power the old man could have. At first, Mark thought that it was a wind-based ability from the God of Wind, but that would not make sense since Mark hadn't felt a single gust of wind since the man started using his ability! Even when they clashed fists and the man used that strange power to cancel out Mark's critical hit, Mark didn't feel any wind! So he was sure that the man's power was not related to the wind at all!

Then what could it be related to? Was it some sort of wave? Maybe he would use pressure waves to cancel out my hits? If that's the case, then it will be a lot more troublesome! Pressure waves can't be anticipated as quickly as wind! I wouldn't know when he's using it and when he isn't!

Mark's thoughts were running wild as he wondered how he could fight against a power like that. He would have to break through the wave defense somehow, but the most important thing right now was finding out what the hell this man was doing.

"Why the fuck are you attacking me? I don't think I've ever met you before, so there's definitely no reason for us to even fight. I would remember someone like you if we ran into each other in the street or if we had a falling out big enough to warrant this sort of attack. You've definitely never met me before today, so what could you be trying to gain from attacking me, you old bastard?"

Mark never let down his guard as he said all this, and the old man only grinned and went into his fighting position to prepare himself to attack again!

"You should have more respect for your elders, boy!"

"I only respect sensible people. And from the little I know about you now, it's obvious that you're fucking crazy. You're old enough to be someone's grandfather, and you're still acting like a battle junkie? Aren't you ashamed of yourself!?"

The old man only laughed as he blasted off the floor and attacked Mark again! Mark was not far from the truth with his deductions about the man's power! The old man was one of the superhumans blessed by the God of Music, and he had the ability to release sound waves from any point in his body to make his attacks more brutal and multiply the damage done! Right now, the old man was using his blessing to amplify his punching ability as well as to nullify damage! It was a simple power, but it was extremely effective!

As long as the old man knew where the attack was going to come from, he could use sound waves to reduce the impact of the attack and receive almost no damage!

'I'm sure he can't cancel out a full attack from me. One punch with everything I have should be able to end this!'

Mark decided that he was going to put all of his power into one strike and break through the man's defense with it! As far as Mark knew, the man was using some sort of pressure wave to protect himself! But the old man could only apply so much pressure before it loses out against a much stronger force!

Mark sent mana straight to his arm, and he felt his power increase as the mana added extra strength and stamina points!

[Strength +70]

[Stamina +58]

The old man rushed towards Mark and sent a brutal fist forward, but he was shocked when he didn't see Mark move at all! Instead of dodging, Mark stepped forward and sent his punch at the old man!

Woosh!

The old man's eyes widened as he didn't even see the punch as it was moving! In only a split second, thousands of scenarios ran through the man's mind! And in all of those scenarios, there was none of them where he was able to tank that punch without serious injury! The old man immediately abandoned his own hit and raised his hand in an X as he applied massive amounts of his mana to his forearm!

TOOONNN!!!

An intense sound wave echoed out from his entire body and intercepted Mark's blow, but the man was stunned as the sound wave seemed to do nothing as the punch sped through the defense and hit him!

[Critical Strike!!]

BAM!!!

After hitting the man more than ten consecutive times, the chances of hitting a critical strike were over ten percent, amd Mark's luck was so great that he was able to tear through that limit and produce another critical strike immediately!

The Superhuman System didn't add stats like Luck or charisma to the manipulatable stats because those stats were not meant to be manipulated by the user! Those stats were too powerful, and even the system couldn't manipulate them however it wanted! They were stats that the user was born with, and only your ability and willingness to improve yourself would give you more luck or charisma! But Mark was already extremely lucky even without adding any points to his luck! Mark was able to survive against an Armageddon, beat the Armageddon, and then he managed to fight against Anima for four years without losing his life! That was not something that anyone could do without having an insane amount of luck!

So getting something like the critical strike back to back without having a hundred percent chance was possible for him!
