An Old Stripper

If the superhumans go to that island and the monsters there turn out to be much stronger than initially estimated, then there is no way anyone would be coming back alive.

'But that is none of my business. I am only going there for Arit after all.'

Mark leaned back and continued to listen as Milicent pointed out another spot on the map.

"We plan to give a beacon to the weaker members of the team to allow them to call for help if they are in trouble. That way, stronger members who are not busy will be able to move towards the weaker ones and aid them –"

Slam!

The door leading to the room suddenly crashed open and everyone turned to look at it in surprise! There was an old man standing there in a full suit! The old man was heavily built and immediately Mark saw him, Mark knew that this man was a superhuman! There was no doubt about it! 

The old man had a wide grin on his face that made him look like a crazy person as he grabbed his shirt and ripped it open!

RIPPP!

Mark was shocked by this, and he thought that the man was insane! Why the hell are you taking off your shirt once you enter a room!? Are you some sort of stripper!?

The old man turned out to be extremely buff under his shirt! His muscles were toned, and they looked perfect for fighting! There was a large scar running across his stomach, and it looked like it had only recently healed from an intense battle!

Mark didn't have any intention of finding out what an old stripper looked like, and he was already standing up to leave, but Mark was even more shocked as a prompt suddenly appeared on his system!

…

Mark saw these messages, and he immediately rushed to his feet as he understood what was happening! This bastard was attacking him!?

Slam!

Milicent suddenly jumped to the side as a force stronger than anything Mark had ever felt before suddenly slammed into him, and Mark only managed to cross his hands in front of his body to protect himself as he was sent flying through the wall of the room!

Crash!

Mark flipped around and slammed his feet into the ground before looking up to see that the old man was right on top of him with his arm drawn back! Mark cocked his hand back and met the old man in the middle of the room!

Boom!!

"Rarggh!!"

Mark gritted his teeth and grunted as he pushed against the old man's fist with his own before sending the old man flying back!

Boom!

The old man was sent right back through the wall that they just crashed through, but the old man didn't even waste a second as he flew to his feet and rushed at Mark again! Mark also ran towards the old man, and they both started to exchange blows at an insane pace!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Back in the viewing room, Fiona sat up and started to walk backward in order to prevent them from getting close to her. She was not interested in being collateral damage in something like this! She also had no idea why the old man attacked Mark, but she knew who the old man was, and she also knew that he was the sort of person who could do whatever he wanted without anyone reprimanding him! She could only watch curiously as the two of them destroyed a second wall and finally burst into the main hall of the NSA!

Tylor was vibrating in excitement as he had to hold himself back physically from joining in on the fight! Tylor was someone who loved battle, and he was desperate to get involved in this fight, but Fiona was using her blessing to hold him back from getting involved because Fiona didn't want him to tarnish the Artemis guild's name by attacking Mark.

Slam!

"What the hell are they doing!?"

"They're coming through here! Run!"

The two fighting men were causing a large commotion as they tore through the NSA in their fight. Mark grabbed the old man by the wrist and dragged him up before turning around with a shout and throwing him into the ground! 

Boom!!

The old man's eyes widened in pain, but he was even more surprised as Mark threw him into the air and sent him flying through the ceiling!

Mark jumped into the air and drew his hand back as he threw three consecutive punches!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

[Critical Strike!!]

Ka-Boom!!

The old man had been blocking most of Mark's strikes with his arms crossed, but he was shocked when one of Mark's strikes suddenly felt much heavier than the others, and he was sent flying back from the intensity! He crashed into the wall of the room that they were fighting in, and he suddenly opened his mouth loudly and began to laugh!!

The critical strike ability allowed Mark to hit his target with twice the amount of power than normal, and it was strong enough that something like that Ant-headed Anima from before would have immediately died if it was hit with even one of them! But the old man was only laughing it off like it was nothing! This man's defense is no joke!

Mark heard the man laughing, and he flexed his hands to loosen the tension there before ducking low and dashing in again. Mark was only able to get the critical hit by luck. Mark only gave five consecutive hits, so the probability of getting the critical strike was only at 5%, and Mark was lucky enough to get it! Mark knew that from now on, it would be more difficult to get the critical strike!

"Hahahahahahah!!! Yes! Yes! Show me more!! Show me what you are made of, Mark Vanitas!!"

Mark didn't bother to respond as he rushed in with another fierce flurry of attacks! He ducked under the man's swing and sent a hit that sent the old man flying through the air! The old man flipped and used the wall as a ledge to launch himself towards Mark! He grabbed Mark around the waist, and the both of them crashed through the wall of the room and entered the next room!

"Holy shit! Are we under attack!?"

There were two officers having fun inside the room, they were standing closely and talking quietly between themselves as the male officer there was flirting with the beautiful female officer! But once the two superhumans crashed through the wall, the male officer ducked low in shock and reached for his gun as he shouted in shock! He quickly began to pull his trousers up and the female officer jumped to her feet and also started to dress while reaching for her gun, but both officers could only hold their fire and stare in shock as they saw who the old man was! They couldn't shoot at him even if they wanted to!

"What the hell is the chairman doing now!? He is going to destroy this building!"

"It doesn't matter! We have to get out of here!"

"Call Talia! She's the only one that can stop him!"

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
