Strongest Superhuman System

"Please, darling. Don\'t patronize me."

Merlin ignored his master as he activated the magic array that he used to find Mark in the first place. Merlin would just have to find the pawn once more and continue the battle!

…

In a hidden building a few hundred meters away from Merlin, Mark hid behind a large rock slab with Luna still in his hands. He was holding her tightly and she put her hands on his chest to brace herself as she waited for any sign of movement from the enemy!

"Do you know who that is?"

Luna suddenly whispered to Mark in curiosity and Mark nodded as he told her what his system told him about both Merlin and Morgana. Luna\'s eyes widened in shock as she told Mark to repeat that! Did he just say Merlin!? As in the Merlin of legend who was loved by mana and had more than a hundred thousand spells in his arsenal!?

"That Merlin!?"

"Shh! Stay quiet. Yeah, it\'s that Merlin."

They were fucked. Luna didn\'t know how they would be able to fight against someone like Merlin the way they were now! Even if they were at their best, there was no way that they could beat someone as dangerous as Merlin!

Mark suddenly spoke up again and drew Luna out of her defeatist monologue!

"I don\'t think this Merlin is as strong as the one of legend though. This Merlin is only as strong as you would have been if you had your magic and you could use mana. I think the game is trying to make the playing field as even as possible by reducing the power level of those that are too strong."

"Really?"

Luna was stunned by the new revelation! That meant that they still had a chance! Luna thought that they were fucked because of how strong she knew Merlin was, but now that Mark was telling her this, she knew they had a small chance. They could fight against Merlin if he was weakened to her level!

But Luna did not know if Mark could defeat her if they fought. Mark only just became an undefined and she has been honing her skills for a long time before he even came out as a superhuman! Luna knew that it would take some time before Mark was ready to fight against her and that meant it would also take time for him to fight against Merlin!

Mark also whispered to Luna that Merlin was the bishop of this game, which meant that Merlin likely had a lot more magic power than anyone else. Merlin\'s own magic power was obviously high, but the game probably multiplied it many times over because of his class!

Things were starting to seem more and more hopeless to Luna and she could only wrap her hands around Mark tightly as her face dropped! Would they be able to win something like this!? Even if they found a way to escape, would they be okay fighting against the next opponent that would show up!? This was just too much! The gods shouldn\'t be bringing people of legend to a game like this!

"Don\'t make a face like that. We\'re not giving up, Luna. We\'re going to win this whether the gods like it or not! Are you with me?"

Mark saw the look that Luna was getting on her face and he immediately knew that Luna was already about to start giving up! He tightened his hold on her shoulder as he spoke up to her and Luna looked up at him in surprise as she heard what he said! Luna knew that it was stupid!

They were going up against someone who had been fighting for far longer than they have been alive and they did not know if they would face off against any more of these legends in the future! They were definitely the underdogs in this fight!

But the mere fact that Mark refused to give up made her heart flutter in a way that gave her hope and courage! Luna\'s face hardened as she squeezed Mark\'s neck gently and nodded her head.

"I\'m with you."

Mark grinned and Luna\'s face gained a small blush as she smiled at his confidence. Luna was going to put her all into this so that they could both go home.

Luna\'s mind started to race like a rocket ship! They had a chance of winning. It was a small chance, but it was a gamble that Mark and she would have to take!

Mark was probably already thinking the same thing, and if they are able to get it in motion without Merlin finding out where they are, then they will most likely be able to even the playing field or maybe they will gain the upper hand in the fight!

Mark had to get to the bishop\'s territory!

Luna knew that this was the only way for Mark to gain the power he needed to fight against Merlin. If Mark goes to the bishop territory, then Mark would be promoted to a bishop and that would increase his stats exponentially and place him in the same boat as Merlin.

But Luna wondered how Merlin was able to find them in the first place. Mark was a pawn and he had the Wiik-bat, so there was no surprise that Mark was able to find out that Merlin was after him! But how was Merlin able to find out that Mark was hiding in that abandoned house!?

Luna did not see any familiar, and since she could still get a good feel for magic even though she couldn\'t use it, she knew that there were only two people around her!

Wait…

There were only two people around her?

Luna looked at Mark strangely as she tried her best to get a feel for his magic! It took some time and she had to really focus before she could get her magic to focus in the way that she wanted it to, but even after focusing so much, there was still nothing! Luna frowned and she spoke up to Mark in a whisper.

"Mark, do you have a lot of mana?"

"What? Yeah, I think I do."

Mark was stunned by the sudden question and he turned to Luna with a frown on his face, only for him to see that she was also frowning while staring at him strangely! Mark raised a brow at her and wondered what she could be getting at.

"You have a lot of mana, but I can\'t feel anything from you. It doesn\'t feel like you have any mana at all. It almost feels like you\'re nothing. A void."

"What?"
