Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 254: Welcome To Saitama



The sky began to form a vortex at the center where a massive amount of electricity was gathering before Merlin brought his staff down in a simple swipe while uttering his incantation.

"Fulmen Fulgar." (A/N: Lightning Bolt)

BZZZZZZZTTTT!!!

A massive bolt of lightning flew down to the ground and Mark jumped away as it struck the spot where he had been standing! Luna grunted as she felt some of the electricity lick her skin and her hair immediately rose on her hands and feet as goosebumps traveled through her entire body! Even though they weren't hit directly she was still not able to withstand the static in the air!

Mark tightened his leg muscles once more as he started to jump around the area while trying his best to get as far away from Merlin as possible! The lightning from Merlin's magic was relentless as it followed after Mark, breaking through walls and searing the landscape into pieces as it tried to strike him!

Luna was holding Mark as a lifeline as she watched his back and told him what direction to jump in so that the lightning wouldn't get him.

"Mark, can't you use your mana like before!? He's going to kill us at this rate!"

Luna remembered how Mark was able to use mana in his fight against a calamity class to boost his strength and she wanted Mark to use his mana to improve his strength here as well!

Mark grunted while dodging around a massive bolt of lightning that would've torn them apart!!

"Not yet."

What? Luna was stunned by Mark's answer. They were already in such a serious situation and he was saying not yet! What the hell is wrong with him!?

Mark had a look of seriousness as he raced through the city and Merlin had a wide smile on his face. He seemed like he was having too much fun with the situation, but things changed when Merlin noticed Mark slowing down.

Mark suddenly slowed down as he got a message from his wiik-bat and a wide grin spread on his lips as he spoke to Luna.

"If you let go of me, you'll die. Hold on as if your life depends on it."

"W-What!? What the hell do you think you're dooooooiiiinnnngggg!!!!?"

Luna suddenly shouted loudly as Mark applied mana to his legs and blasted off the ground! Luna always knew that Mark was fast and she got proof of it when he was escaping that ice, but this...this couldn't even be called running anymore!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Mark broke through the sound barrier three times in less than three seconds as he raced through the land. Luna couldn't even raise her head as she just held on and tried to not get thrown off Mark from the massive wind pressure that was developing around him.

Thankfully, Luna's magic was still actively helping her to maintain her body, so she didn't have to worry about being crushed by the wind pressure.

Merlin was shocked by the sudden increase in speed! His lightning could not even keep up as he saw Mark flash away from him like a phantom! Merlin narrowed his eyes at Mark while wondering what Mark was playing at, but his eyes widened as he looked behind him and saw the position that he was in!

He was standing towards the southern border of Tokyo and Mark was going away from him, which meant that Mark was running towards the Saitama prefecture at the northern border!

"He found my territory!?"

Mark did not dare to slow down. Not even after he knew that Merlin had figured out his plan, he still kept running at top speed to get to Merlin's territory!

Mark's only chance of winning this was for him to get to Saitama and enter the bishop's territory so that he would be able to rank up to a bishop!

All over Tokyo, people were already stopping and staring at the massive explosions and ice storms that were happening in the center of the city, but no one was ready for the gust of wind that blew past them as Mark raced through the city to get to Saitama!

WOOSH!

Boom!

Mark's aftershock was intense enough to remove the roofs off of buildings and throw cars into the air and into other cars! People who were just standing at the side of the road were absolutely disoriented as they flew back with intense force and crashed into the pavement from the wind pressure! Mark was blasting through the city like a jet engine!

But even though he was moving fast, Mark could feel Merlin was right on his tail!

"Terrae Motus!!" (A/N: Earthquake)

Merlin rose his staff into the air and the ground all around him began to crumble as a massive earthquake echoed through the center of Tokyo! Bridges began to shake and tremble and buildings started to crack down the middle and fall in Mark's path as a magnitude 9 earthquake shook the entire region!

Merlin knew that at Mark's pace, he would not be able to catch up with him, so Merlin decided that he would slow Mark down using his magic instead!

The earthquake chased Mark, tearing through the roads and breaking down houses, and Merlin did not waste any time as he immediately pointed his staff toward Mark and activated another spell!

"Sagitta Stellata!" (A/N: Stellar Arrow)

A giant magic circle burst to life in front of Merlin. A swirl of green magic fog appeared around the magic circle before a loud howl echoed through the sky!

PHWOOM!

A hundred green, two-meter-long arrows shot out from Merlin's magic circle and all of them immediately honed in on Mark and blasted in his direction! Mark could feel the danger approaching him even before he knew that there were arrows coming straight at him!

Ratatatattatatatata!

The magic arrows started to slam into the ground all around Mark and Mark tried his best to avoid all of them while still running! The arrows were the same size as a full-grown man, so every single one of them had the potential to skewer Mark through and pin him to the ground if they hit!

"Wiik! Wiik!"

The sound of the wiik-bat shouting made Mark look up quickly and his mouth split into a grin as he jumped up to the top of a skyscraper to avoid the rest of the arrows!

[User has applied Mana to his legs.]

Boom!

Mark launched off the skyscraper and he had to really push himself to the limit while using as little mana as possible as he finally felt his body change once he passed a certain border dividing Tokyo from Saitama.

[The User has entered the territory of The Bishop. The User has successfully Ranked up and he has been granted all the properties of The Bishop.]
