Ubermensch – Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Mason and Scar’s fight was a space where terrifying destructive power swirled. Anyone who dared to help would be torn apart like a piece of paper. Even Sung Kijun, the toughest man among humans.

‘How?’

How?

All thoughts stopped before that question.

How on earth could a superhuman be made stronger?

It was then.

Liza quietly looked back at her subordinates.

There were no instructions or orders.

However, as if that was enough, Liza left the formation and flew her body, and her subordinates also filled the formation without any hesitation.

‘What is she doing?’

The place where Liza flew her body was in front of the formation formed by Sung Kijun. And it was the forefront beyond even the dueling ground where Mason and Scar were fighting.

Mason was surprised.

“Liza, what are you doing?!”

But Liza swung her spear instead of any words.

A dancing female body, a spear tip like frost.

Liza’s movements did not lose their softness, but at the tip of the spear, they had changed to sharpness.

Mason was puzzled, and at the end of his puzzlement, he understood.

‘She’s showing me.’

Liza’s conclusion was the same as Seo Yeonhee’s.

There was only one way to turn the tide of the war, and that was for Mason to knock Scar down.

And there was only one way for Mason to become stronger.

Mu (武)!

If science is a companion that has grown with human civilization, martial arts is a friend that has been with mankind since the moment they used weapons.

The fastest way for Mason to become stronger was to learn martial arts.

And the fastest way to teach martial arts is… to show it directly!

‘Yes, teach me!’

Mason clenched his teeth.

‘I’ll learn it somehow!’

Liza is a dealer after all. Unlike Ronan, who was clad in heavy armor, she was a dealer wearing light armor.

But she was defeating all enemies who entered within the reach of her spear.

Is this what it means to form a circle (圈)?

‘This is it.’

That was what Liza was trying to teach Mason.

Forming a circle was a stunt.

It was a life-threatening stunt that would throw you in front of the enemy’s blades if you made a single mistake.

But what Mason was looking at was not how dangerous it was.

‘How is that possible?’

Mason quickly realized.

‘She’s blocking them.’

Liza was subduing all the enemies before they could even reach her by hitting the close enemies short and the far enemies long.

She didn’t even bother aiming for vital points. She just intercepted the enemies that entered her circle.

At that moment, Mason realized what Liza was teaching.

‘Don’t look at the enemy.’

Mason didn’t look at Scar.

He was looking at only one thing.

‘Just intercept the approaching object!’

It was only the object that was closest to Mason.

Bang!

Mason’s two-handed hammer struck Scar’s fist.

‘Whether it’s a fist or a foot, it doesn’t matter!’

Mason had been dividing attack and defense so far.

When attacking, hit the enemy’s vital points, and when defending, defend my vital points.

That was a normal offensive and defensive battle.

However, Liza was now saying.

You don’t have to divide attack and defense.

An attack that breaks an attack. A defense that breaks a defense.

After all, it was only humans who had been researching techniques to kill people for tens of thousands of years. Humans were the only ones who possessed the techniques to decipher the techniques to kill people.

One answer born from martial arts.

A technique to control space, not people.

Air superiority (制空權)!

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Kwaang!

The moment Mason’s two-handed hammer hit Scar’s right fist, there was an explosion with a bang, and the hammer and fist exploded at the same time.

It was the destruction caused by the interlocking of monstrous powers.

“Krrr…?”

Flying pieces of flesh and iron.

“Kuaaaaaaaaa!”

Scar gritted his teeth and tried to hit Mason with his left knee.

“Yeah, good!”

But at that moment, Mason gritted his teeth and swung his fist.

Bang!

With a roar, flesh and flesh scattered.

“I’ll exchange with you! I’ll exchange with you as much as you want!”

Scar’s leg was cut off, and Mason’s forearm exploded from the inside. As a few tendons fluttered, Mason roared like a beast.

“If I can win!”

At that moment, Scar, who was about to stretch out his arm, faltered for a moment.

If he stretched out his hand, Mason would smash it…

He had learned vigilance, no, fear.

And that was a mistake.

“Iaaaaaaaaa!”

Kwaang!

With a roar, Mason’s body slammed into Scar’s body.

He lacked weight, but Mason had the upper hand in strength itself. That meant that if Scar lost his balance, he could be knocked down at any time.

Just like now!

Koodangtang!

Scar’s huge body collapsed to the floor, and Mason, mounted on Scar’s body, pounded him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every blow was a monstrous force that seemed to crush rocks and break mountains.

Scar’s face was also instantly covered in blood. The pounding sound also changed from the sound of flesh bursting to the sound of bones breaking.

It was as if the world had stopped.

The horrified monsters and humans momentarily stopped their hands, and only Mason’s punches destroyed Scar.

Thump!

“Hoo…”

It was the moment his fist hit the ground that Mason let out a long breath.

Nothing remained of Scar’s head above his neck, and only the blood and brains on Mason’s hands proved that there had once been a monster named Scar.

“Woooooooooooo!”

The surrounding monsters, who came to their senses belatedly, rushed in frenzy.

Kwaak!

Mason smirked, stepping on Scar’s body, which was wriggling with its head crushed.

“If you want… I’ll deal with you!”

Crack! Crunch! Boom!

Every time Mason grabbed something, something was crushed, and every time he threw a punch, something was broken.

No one could stop him.

From the beginning, Mason was the only one who could hold Scar back, so Mason stepped forward, and Scar was the only one who could stop Mason, so Scar stepped forward.

Moreover, now that Scar is gone!

“Wooooooork!”

Mason was a slaughter itself. He was a natural disaster that swallowed life and spewed a rain of blood and flesh. The monsters were literally scattered like autumn leaves, and no monster’s attempts could even slow Mason’s steps.

“Now! Push it!”

At that moment, Sung Kijun shouted, raising his sword high.

As the tankers pushed the formation, the monsters, already swept away by Mason, began to be pushed back helplessly.

As the pressure from the monsters eased, the rear also began to regain its vitality.

Instead of assisting the front line, the ranged dealers were able to devote their firepower to protecting themselves, and the interception team led by Ronan, with the help of fire support, easily slaughtered the small and medium-sized monsters that had climbed over the walls.

“Whew!”

As the small and medium-sized monsters were slaughtered, the insect human with a halberd rushed at Ronan.

Kang!

As the halberd with bluish flames and the Dragon Bone Greatsword clashed, Ronan’s Dragon Bone Greatsword slid along the pole and cut off the insect human’s wrists.

Just one move. The match was decided in a single move without any interference.

It was the skill of a master swordsman.

“If you’re a beast, you should have fought like a beast.”

Ronan split the insect human’s upper body diagonally with an arrogant sneer.

“Kerk!”

The Lightning Goblin, unable to watch any longer, flew towards the healer line, but his opponent was Seo Yeonhee.

“Where are you going!”

The moment the two shadows crossed in the air.

“Krrr…”

The Lightning Goblin, landing on the floor, collapsed on the spot, spewing blood.

Victories were being declared from all directions, and the monsters could no longer bear it and were fleeing.

From behind the fleeing monsters, Mason roared.

“Uwaaaaaaaaa!”

It was a roar of victory.

๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑

The fight was over.

But the war was not over.

Apart from declaring victory, people killed monsters with fire in their eyes.

“Kill them! Kill them!”

“Don’t leave a single one alive!”

Scar, who returned alive from Castle Defense, returned as a monster.

I don’t know the exact principle, but no one wanted to experience the same thing again.

People chased and slaughtered, but Seoul was no longer a land for people.

As they moved away from Castle, Seo Yeonhee said to Mason.

“…Shouldn’t we retreat soon?”

It was dangerous to leave the monster vacuum created by Castle Defense. Because you never know what monsters are where.

“I wish we could catch the Giant Hedgehog…”

As we confirmed in this fight, just as experience makes people grow, monsters become dangerous when they gain experience.

In that sense, the Giant Hedgehog was a target that had to be eliminated. Because, in a sense, he had accumulated more experience than Scar.

“Let’s report it to the government. Ask them to monitor this area and issue a quest as a priority if they find it.”

Mason glanced at the people.

They were exhausted from repeated battles.

The heat of victory made them forget their fatigue, but the fatigue was not gone, but forgotten. Now, fatigue and injuries were gripping people again.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Normally, he would have jumped in alone, but Mason himself had consumed a lot of Barbarianigen due to his confrontation with Scar.

Further pursuit was impossible.

“…I guess we’ll have to settle for that.”

What remained were ruins and mountains of corpses.

“We’ll be busy enough… with the rest of the work.”

๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑๑ஓ๑

That night.

The aftermath of the battle was as busy and intense as the battle itself.

“Ugh…”

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…”

There were no deaths, but there were many injuries. There were quite a few injuries that might even force players to retire.

The healers had to be busy.

Yun Piljung was also one of the seriously injured. He fought desperately to protect the healers, especially Eun Yuri, and suffered injuries that could not be healed by healing alone.

He would have to be hospitalized for a long time.

Eun Yuri looked at Yun Piljung, who was being treated, with complex eyes.

“I didn’t believe people change.”

Mason asked.

“Do you believe it now?”

“Yes.”

Eun Yuri replied with a complex expression.

“Now, I have no choice but to believe it.”

“Yes.”

Mason smiled bitterly.

“People… change…”

Mason stood alone in front of the collapsed wall.

I don’t think the fight will start again now… but still, if a fight breaks out, it will be the most dangerous place. This was the place where Mason could rest.

Mason stood there and looked back.

Most of those who could move were clinging to monsters.

“There’s no time to collect all the monster byproducts! Take out only the cores and burn the rest!”

The reason people were busy moving was to withdraw as quickly as possible.
