Chapter 177: Come With Me
Slam!
An unexpected headbutt suddenly slammed into Mark's head and Mark took a single step back in pain as he felt something ringing in his ear! He grunted as he struggled to keep his eyes open because he knew that one second without his vision would be the end of him!
He saw the anima lower its head and charge forward, trying to skewer Mark with its horn, but Mark easily clasped his hands around the horn and caught it as his senses slowly returned to him!
"You fucking dung beetle!!"
Mark's eyes were bloodshot from anger as he used the horn to lift the anima into the air and slammed it into the ground!
Crash!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The anima flew into the ground and then through it, as it went back down to the lower floors! Even though the building had already crumbled on top of them, the floors were sturdily built, so some of the lower floors were able to withstand the damage from the collapse, but there were large holes in the floor, and massive parts of the walls were missing.
Woosh!
Mark ran forward and propelled himself through the hole that the anima created, and he slammed both feet into the anima's stomach, accelerating its velocity before it slammed into the ground!
Doom!
The entire building shook from the sudden pressure, and the anima roared in pain as it felt Mark's feet dig into its stomach! Mark slammed his fee into the anima's stomach and launched it like a football towards the other side of the building.
Boom!!
Mark was no longer playing around since he realized that the anima couldn't do anything to seriously harm or surprise him! The anima was just fucking strong, but it was still lacking in intelligence! Mark just decided to finish this fight as quickly as possible!
"ROARRRR!!!"
The anima roared in anger as it lowered its head and charged for Mark with the intent to skewer him, but Mark easily grabbed it by the horn and slammed his feet into the anima's shin!
Bam!
Mark let go of the anima's horn, and then delivered a light punch that lifted the anima into the air!
Woosh!
By the time Mark was done, the anima was floating in the air right in front of Mark, and even with its limited intelligence, the anima knew at that moment that it was a sitting duck as its body floated in the air! Mark wasted no time as he crouched into a proper boxers stance and pulled his fist back with a dark look in his eyes!
Time almost seemed to move in slow motion at that point as the space in front of Mark's fist distorted and shifted before it suddenly came back into focus all at once, congregating at one point in the center of Mark's fist!
Twoon!
The skill [Divergent Fist] was not something that Mark could control on his own. Mark knew that, just like the [Critical Hit] skill, the chances of him delivering a divergent fist were very low, and that the skill was entirely up to his luck. But even though that was the case, that did not mean that Mark could not tell when his chances of delivering the fist were at its highest.
After that fight in the underworld where Mark was able to use the [Divergent Fist] more than five times in quick succession, Mark was able to gain a sixth sense for the skill.
Mark could tell how his mana moved through his body when he was using the skill, and Mark also knew how space would shift and bend around him at that moment when he was most likely to use the skill.
To be able to notice something like that was not normal for anyone, even if that person is a superhuman; it was only Mark's insanely high battle senses that gave him the ability to predict something so vague and make it a part of his fighting technique!
And that insanely high battle sense increased his efficiency while delivering a Divergent Fist by leaps and bounds. Now, rather than Mark only having a 0.5% chance of delivering the attack, Mark had a 100% chance of knowing exactly when that attack was definitely going to come. And for Mark, that was more than enough!
[Divergent fist]!
Mark slammed his fist into the anima's cheek, and he watched as its brain matter and the bones from its skull began to shoot out from the other side of its head all at once!
Crack!
Squelch!
KA-BOOM!!
The anima's head was blown to pieces as it couldn't withstand the divergent fist from Mark and a massive shockwave blew it back and threw it across the room like a ragdoll!
TWOOM!
Slam!
Slam!
BOOM!
Its body tumbled across the floor for a few meters before it finally slammed into the wall on the other side of the building and it's headless body slumped against the wall! Mark released a tired breath as he flicked his hand to the side to get rid of the blood and brain matter that still stuck to his fist.
This fight did not last long, but Mark still felt some residual pains in his head from the headbutt that he received from the Calamity class. If not for Divergent Fist, then this would have gone on for much longer.
Mark looked around him at all the destruction that he caused, and he huffed. The city would handle the insurance, so there was no need for him to bother with this. Mark was currently standing in the car park in the basement of the building, and he noticed that most of the cars down there had been wrecked in one way or another by the fight.
They looked like expensive cars, so Mark could only hope that the owners had insurance.
Well, even if they did, it was going to be hell for the insurance companies.
…
"Come with me."
What?
Arit blinked in surprise and looked up from her phone as she heard someone talk from above her. She saw the last person that she wanted to talk to at this moment, looking down at her with a haughty look in her eyes, and Arit's own eyes immediately darkened as she looked away from Esmeralda.
Esmeralda frowned in irritation once Arit ignored her and she leaned down.
"Did you not hear me? I said come with me. Or do you not want to hear what I have to say?"
Arit was currently surfing through the news to see if any of the news outlets were broadcasting the fight that Mark was having with the anima right now. Arit didn't know why the news outlets were so slow to broadcast the fight, but she hadn't been able to see a single one that was showing it yet.
Arit was tempted to call Pat and ask him how the fight was going, but she knew that Pat was always in Mark's ear during fights, so it would be a distraction to both of them if she was to call Pat and ask him something like that. She had to just trust that Mark knew what he was doing and that he would come back safely.
"Hey, don't ignore me when I'm talking to you."
Esmeralda was now seething in anger as she noticed that Arit was really ignoring her! How dare this nerd ignore her!? Esmeralda was the more popular girl in class, so as far as she was concerned, she was at the top of the food chain and Arit was below her because Arit was less popular. Arit had no right to ignore her commands.
