Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 124: Marry Me

Jason and the one-eyed woman suddenly charged into the fight as a new wave of monsters came for them, and Mark started to land critical strikes back to back as the Blunt Force Trauma meter filled up, giving him a hundred percent chance of using critical strikes with every hit! The zombies didn't know what hit them as Mark obliterated their numbers.

Mark unleashed a flurry of punches and hits. He could fight freely because he knew that the one-eyed woman was behind him, so he was sure that he wouldn't get hit from behind unexpectedly.

However, he suddenly turned around as he heard a scream of pain from the woman! Mark saw a monster biting down on her hand, and he quickly turned and wrapped his chains around the monster's head. He pulled it off the woman and used the chain to fling it towards the other side of the room.

Mark pulled back his hand and delivered a massive punch towards the group of zombies in front of him. Time slowed down, and space seemed to shift around Mark's fist until it suddenly released a surge of power that enveloped everything in front of him before imploding on itself!

[Divergent Fist]!

Boom!

All the monsters that had been standing in front of Mark were suddenly eviscerated as their bodies blew up in a gory and messy sight! The other monsters in the room started converging towards Mark, and he quickly grabbed the one-eyed woman by the waist and jumped towards another spot that had fewer monsters.

"Rargghh!"

Bam! Crunch!

Mark landed on top of a zombie and crushed it under his feet before dropping the woman to the side.

"No! No! Get away from me! Help me!!"

A woman shouted from behind Mark as she tried to use her spear on a zombie, but she didn't see another one that was running closer from beside her and was immediately jumped and tackled to the ground before she could do anything!

"By Ra, I think I'm losing my arm."

Mark turned to the one-eyed woman and saw that she was holding her left arm in pain as a black veiny web began to spread out from the spot where she was bitten towards the rest of her arm. She immediately grabbed her sword and put the blade on the spot just above the bite.

Squelch!

"Ngh!!"

She grit her teeth tightly and quickly cut off her arm with a suppressed groan, and Mark destroyed a few zombies that got too close as she wrapped the stump with a cloth. It would be hard for her to survive now that she only had one arm, but at least she was not dying at this moment.

The woman severed the arm that she just cut into two and released the chain that was still attached to it. She rolled the chain around her good arm and finally grabbed her sword again.

"Arghhh!"

Another prisoner beside them suddenly got swarmed by zombies as he screamed loudly, and Mark took a moment to make sure that no zombies were coming towards him and the woman before he spoke to her.

"Can you fight?"

"I'm still on my feet, aren't I?"

The woman's voice was strained, and it sounded like she was already on her last legs, but she was not backing down as she held her sword tightly. The blood dripping from the torn arm was making her woozy, and she stumbled a bit every now and then before getting her balance back. Mark shook his head internally. She was a dead woman walking.

"Stay behind me and take care of the stragglers. You're not going to survive long with those wounds, so make yourself useful while you can."

Mark rolled his shoulder and stood in front of the woman as a new wave of monsters came around, and the woman's face squeezed in annoyance as she heard what Mark said. But she could understand what Mark was trying to do, and she just turned around and put her back against his own while preparing for the fight.

Boom! Boom! Slam!

The sound of supersonic punches echoed through the cave as she heard Mark unleashing hell upon the zombies. There were hardly any zombies on her side of the cave, so she only had to take care of two or three of them at a time. She felt Mark's back against her own, and it gave her a sense of safety as she felt like she would survive this if he was there with her.

Against her better judgment, she decided to speak.

"Where are you from?"

Mark grunted from behind her and asked what she said, and the woman repeated her question, louder this time. She would usually not care about where someone was from or what happened to make them end up in this underground dungeon, but she felt like she had to know Mark's story.

When Mark spoke, it was with short sentences in between his punches.

"Somewhere far away. You probably never heard of it!"

"Try me!"

Slash! Slash!

Mark got rid of most of the zombies in front of him before he spoke.

"Do you know America?"

"America? What is an America?"

A deep grunt escaped Mark's chest, and the woman could almost hear the smile in his voice as he spoke again.

"Exactly what I thought. You've never heard of it."

"I'm from Ni'le in the western kingdom of Thalus. I was a bandit before I was captured and thrown down here. My name is Ryax. What is yours?"

"Mark Vanitas."

Boom!!

"Rarrgh!!"

[Critical Strike]!

Slam!

Mark destroyed another zombie before he heard her talk again. Why was she talking this much in the middle of a battle?

"A family name? Are you a royal?"

"Not exactly."

Slash!

RARGGH!

Slash! Squelch!

Ryax quickly stabbed a zombie in the neck and kicked it away from her before it could bite her! She saw two zombies that were running at her and she slashed the head off one of them before she stabbed the neck of the second one that already had an injury from Mark. She then used that opportunity to retreat back to stand behind Mark again.

"If we get out of this alive, what do you think about us getting married?"

"…?"

"I have never been sullied by another man. I can bear strong children, and you have the spirit of a warrior. I will not mind having you as a husband."

Boom! Boom!

Mark pulled his fist back as he felt that sensation of space distorting once more and he unleashed a punch on the horde of zombies in front of him.

[Divergent Fist]!

Boooooommmm!

The zombies were torn to shreds, and Mark finally spoke while looking around him and analyzing the movement of the zombies that were still pouring into the cavern.

"I'll have to decline."

[Time Remaining: 1:12:52]

Mark could hear the disappointment in Ryax's voice when next she spoke.

"A pity. Then perhaps we should visit each other's hometowns. I have never been to this America before, and I believe I can show you something worth seeing in Thalus. If we make it out of here alive, swear to me that you will come visit my home."

Mark didn't have time to think too much about it, so he just promised her whatever she wanted. This was just a test and it wouldn't matter anyway.
