Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 51: The Sound Of Desperation



Ka-Booommmm!!!!

Tylor dashed across the forest with Fiona flung over his shoulder as he tried to get as far away from the monster behind them as possible. He paused as he felt the entire forest shake from a massive force, and he wanted to look around him to see what that was, but he felt the aura of the monster again and he forgot about that force as he started to run again!

Things could not have gone any more wrong than they did just now! Tylor knew that it was impossible for this mission to be any more fucked up than it was at this fucking moment! There was only one question constantly running through Tylor's mind.

What sort of monster did they run into?

Tylor was a strong Superhuman. He knew that he could handle Calamity Classes if he went all out, and he was someone who felt great pride in his power. But the monster that appeared behind them was not something that he could call a simple Calamity Class.

If not for the fact that he already knew how strong Eldritch Class and Armageddon class monsters were, Tylor would have thought that this monster something higher than a Calamity Class!

The Anima chasing him was able to kill Archer in less than ten seconds after the fight started, and Archer didn't even get a chance to use any of his abilities before he was crushed into a paste with nothing but raw strength.

That already told Tylor that this was not a fight they could face head-on, but when the Anima managed to shrug off Fiona's blessing with minimal effort, Tylor knew that they were fucked if they didn't get out of there at once! Tylor had never seen any Calamity Class Anima that could shrug off Fiona's blessing before, and the fact that this one could do it meant that this was not an ordinary anima!

And yet, all that was nothing compared to the fact that this Anima actually opened its mouth and spoke. Even after everything that the Anima did to the Superhumans, the fact that it could talk was still the most shocking of it all.

Was this a dream? Perhaps. Tylor could simply believe that he was dreaming and he would wake up from it in a moment. But the feeling of dread that filled his heart and the adrenaline pumping through his body as he ran for his life told him that this was real!

It made no sense that an Anima would be able to talk. There has never been an instance where Anima possessed such an ability.

Immediately after hearing the Anima talk, Tylor was about to tell Fiona to turn off her skill so that they could bolt, but it was already too late as the monster reached Fiona before Tylor could even mutter a word. He quickly engaged the Anima and tried to draw it away from Fiona, but the monster ignored him and raced towards Fiona to finish her off.

Fiona was able to use her blessing to slow the monster down for a few seconds. Even though the monster was far stronger than her, it still felt the effects of Fiona's blessing for a few seconds. And it was only this fact that allowed her to survive what happened next.

Rather than simply killing Fiona like it planned to, the monster slammed into her with all its weight, and Fiona was thrown across the forest like a ping-pong ball! She already passed out before she crashed through ten trees and dug a deep trench into the forest floor!

Boom!

The monster stumbled and seemed to be confused for a moment as it tilted its head and looked down at its feet while trying to assimilate what had just happened. That split-second delay in its reaction allowed Tylor to dash in and grab Fiona to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Tylor started by running towards the helicopter, and he was going to try and get out of this island as quickly as possible, but when he felt the monster right behind him, he decided that it would be better not to run towards the helicopter since the monster could easily kill all the other superhumans that were also trying to escape the island.

The monster was too strong, and Tylor couldn't stop it even if he tried, so he knew that it would easily kill all the A and B-rank superhumans in the helicopter.

A shadow fell over Tylor, and he turned around to see three large trees flying towards him. The leaves and large roots on the trees told Tylor that they were just pulled straight out from the soil, and Tylor cursed as he dashed to the side and tried to evade the trees.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The trees slammed into the ground and embedded themselves deep in the floor, and Tylor quickly tried to continue moving, but he wasn't able to get to his top speed quickly enough since his evasion of the trees shaved off some of his speed.

"How troublesome. Why do you run?"

A feeling of dread fell upon Tylor as he felt eyes behind him, and he turned around with a shout while releasing a massive wave of flames!

"DIE!!!"

PHWOOMM!!

The flames traveled across the forest and destroyed hundreds of trees in their path, but Tylor didn't see the anima. Tylor held his breath and looked around at the flaming forest while waiting for something to happen.

There was a deep, unnatural silence that permeated through the entire forest, and Tylor could almost feel his heart trying to burst out from his chest due to the intensity of the situation.

"Ugh~"

Fiona stirred from Tylor's shoulder, but Tylor didn't even have time to check on her as he noticed something moving through his flames. Tylor would never admit it to anyone, but watching the Ant-headed anima stepping out from the fire like a demon straight out of hell put the fear of the lord into him. For the first time in his life, Tylor felt his legs shake.

"Fuck."

Tylor cursed, and he gently pushed Fiona to the ground. He knew in his heart that there was nothing that he could do to defeat this monster. Tylor has fought against hundreds of Anima in the last four years, but none of them stood up to the sheer strength that this Anima had.

But he was not going to just turn around and let it catch and kill them both. Tylor was going to fight. Maybe he would win. Maybe Fiona would wake up and manage to run away before the monster killed him. Or maybe they would both die. It didn't matter what the outcome would be, Tylor was not going down without a fight.

Tylor went into a fighting stance and prepared himself.

"Come on then. Let's see how much of you I can burn before I'm extinguished."

The ant-headed Anima tilted its head curiously as it saw Tylor getting into a fighting stance, and it seemed to be interested in what Tylor was going to do. It wondered why Tylor was willingly sacrificing himself all of a sudden. It thought that Tylor would run forever, but it seems that it was wrong. How interesting.

"Come on, you bastard!!"

Phwoom! Phwoom! Phwoom!

Three great pillars of fire burst to life as Tylor charged at the monster! He released another large wave of fire to distract the monster, and he dashed to the side and slammed his heel into a tree. The tree groaned as it began to fall, and Tylor grabbed it by the trunk!

Phwoom!

The tree trunk caught on fire immediately Tylor touched it, and Tylor released another battle cry as he threw the tree straight at the monster like a javelin!

Woosh!

The calamity class simply rose its hand up, and the tree broke into pieces once it slammed into the hand. The anima grabbed the trunk and threw the tree to the side! What nonsense was this human trying to do? Does he think that a simple tree would be able to harm it? What foolishness.

"Rarggggh!!!"

Tylor suddenly appeared from behind the tree with his flaming fist drawn back.
