Chapter 50: Return To Monkee
Chapter 50: Return To Monkee
"What the hell are you doing!?"
The woman felt a great surge of fear fill her heart as Mark turned around and tossed her and the other superhuman to the ground. Mark made sure that they had lost the monsters that were trailing them, and then he spoke to the two superhumans.
"We've come far enough so it should be easier for you to get out to the helicopter. I'll create a diversion and make the monsters follow me and the both of you get out of here. I can't fight if you're ranting in my ear all through."
The woman immediately felt insulated as she heard him say this and she immediately started to reprimand him.
"Don't talk to your elders like that! You're just a kid!"
"Will you shut up, woman! Just shut up! Look, Vanitas, you should also think about getting out of here. There are too many monsters up here and we don't know how many more there are down in the tunnels. It's too dangerous to try fighting all of them."
The other person that Mark saved immediately shouted after shutting the woman up, and the woman blushed in anger as Mark nodded to the man while tweaking his system. There were many more stat points in his system, and Mark was going to use them to improve all of his stats right now. And there was also one skill that Mark needed to improve as quickly as possible.

…
Once Mark was done adding points to his stats, he then started adding points to his skills. Mark only had one skill that he really needed to improve right now to make sure that the monsters didn't go after the other superhumans. Mark might not like the NSA, but that does not mean he wanted the other superhumans to die. They all came here for the same mission and if Mark could help, then he would.
[Does the user wish to add skill points to the selected skills? Yes/No]
Mark chose yes and another prompt appeared.
[User has added 50 points to [Blunt Force Trauma]]
[Probability of successful Landing a Critical Attack: +3% for every successful consecutive hit]
…
-> Blunt Force Trauma: This skill heightens the probability of landing a critical hit as the user delivers consecutive successful punches to the enemy, harnessing the cumulative impact for devastating effectiveness! Critical Attacks deal +100% extra damage to the enemy!
Current Rank: F Rank [51/100]
Probability of landing a Critical Attack: +3% for every successful consecutive hit.
…
The Blunt Force Trauma skill was going to be useful in getting rid of that Low-Level Calamity. Mark just had to rack enough successful hits so that he would have a hundred percent chance of using a critical hit when he attacked the Low-Level Calamity. The Critical Hit gives a hundred percent increase in damage, so it would be too shocking for the Low-Level Calamity to adapt to it or avoid it.
"I'll get out when I get my friend out. Don't worry about me. Just run as quickly as you can, and I'll draw them in a different direction."
Mark knew that the monsters were directly after him, so the chances that they would go after the two superhumans while Mark was going in the opposite direction were very low. He was sure they would get to the helicopter safely. Mark said his goodbyes to them, quickly turned in the opposite direction, and began to charge forward as he activated [Taunting].
[Taunting Activating. Chances of successful taunting: 20%]
[Taunting Successful]
[Call of The Night Wolves] had been activated.
A great wave of hostility slammed into Mark as he felt the hate of all the animas in the region directed toward him. The forest started to rumble as the animals were now more rabid as they chased after him. Mark needed to deal with all the small fries that were chasing after him before going to deal with the Calamity Class.
Mark turned around just as the wave of hostility got close enough and he lashed his hand out at the nearest monster beside him!
Slam!
Splat!
The monster was only a low-level Disaster class and it didn't even expect for a moment that Mark's power would be as high as it was, and it was blindsided and disintegrated to paste as Mark lashed out with his punch!
Mark didn't waste any time and he rode off the momentum as he leaped off the tree beside him and used that to rocket himself towards the next monster!
Slam!
Slam!
Slam!
[Critical Hit!]
Slam!
[User has killed 4 Low-Level Disaster Classes +60 stat points]
[User has killed 5 High-Level Disaster Classes +100 stat points]
Mark jumped from tree to tree and used the momentum to increase the power of his punches as he destroyed each monster he came across! He managed to get rid of all of them when he suddenly felt wind pressure against his skin and he thanked his agility for allowing him to dodge in time for the large rock that was thrown at him to only sail past harmlessly!
The fucker was back!
Mark grinned as he turned and dashed straight for the Calamity class monkey! There were fewer monsters around now, so he could focus all his energy on the calamity class without worrying about the other monsters! The monkey released a loud cry as it threw another rock at Mark and Mark only needed to move to the side to dodge it as he continued running unimpeded.
Mark could have destroyed the rock, but he didn't want to ruin his consecutive successful hit count. If he hit the rock, Mark didn't know if that would be counted as a successful hit or not and he was going to save his next punch for when he got to the calamity class!
The calamity class took a step back as it noticed the intensity that Mark was using to charge at it and it shouted in anger as it felt threatened by Mark.
"OOH! OOH! AH!!"
The monkey shouted out a battle cry as it jumped off the tree and swung towards Mark before using its tail to lash out at Mark with great force! A monkey tail has enough strength to carry its whole body, and when that strength is increased to match the strength of a low-level calamity class, it has enough power to eviscerate a house in only one swing!
Woosh!
But the Monkey hesitated at the last moment as it took a look into Mark's eyes and saw the bloodlust in there! It immediately realized that there was something wrong and it was about to pull back to dodge the punch that Mark was preparing to unleash, but it was already too late!
[Critical Hit]!!
Ka-Booommmm!!!!
