Chapter 37: Luck
The old man was attacking Mark relentlessly, and Mark was guarding perfectly against the old man's attacks! The old man knew that at this rate, he would not be able to break through Mark's defenses since Mark was perfect at blocking and defending! The old man had to admit that he was not as physically strong as Mark, and he knew that he would have to change his strategy if he wanted to win this fight!
That was perfectly fine with him, though!
He never intended to win against Mark with only brute strength! His true power was in something else!
Mark suddenly stopped defending as he noticed the old man's stance loosening, and Mark's hands blurred as five strikes landed!!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
[Critical Strike!!]
Boom!
There was a massive distortion of wind that echoed out from the man's fist as he sent a punch right back at Mark! Their two fists collided in the middle, and Mark was shocked when the man's hit canceled out his own! The old man clenched his fists at his side and went into a new fighting stance as waves began to echo out from his body! Mark thought that they were waves of wind, but he was wrong! They weren't from the wind at all. They were from sound!
The man suddenly disappeared faster than before and appeared in front of Mark with his arm drawn back, and Mark put up his hands to defend himself!
Ka-Boom!
The ground under Mark's feet couldn't even withstand the force of the hit, and Mark was sent crashing through the floor and into the room below! The old man propelled himself down to continue attacking, but he was immediately grabbed by Mark and thrown into the wall with a shout!
"Aarghh!!"
Mark sent mana straight to his arm, and he felt his power increase as the mana added extra strength and stamina points!
[Strength +70]
[Stamina +58]
The old man rushed towards Mark and sent a brutal fist forward, but he was shocked when he didn't see Mark move at all! Instead of dodging, Mark stepped forward and sent his punch at the old man!
Woosh!
The old man's eyes widened as he didn't even see the punch as it was moving! In only a split second, thousands of scenarios ran through the man's mind! And in all of those scenarios, there was none of them where he was able to tank that punch without serious injury! The old man immediately abandoned his own hit and raised his hand in an X as he applied massive amounts of his mana to his forearm!
TOOONNN!!!
An intense sound wave echoed out from his entire body and intercepted Mark's blow, but the man was stunned as the sound wave seemed to do nothing as the punch sped through the defense and hit him!
[Critical Strike!!]
BAM!!!
After hitting the man more than ten consecutive times, the chances of hitting a critical strike were over ten percent, amd Mark's luck was so great that he was able to tear through that limit and produce another critical strike immediately!
The Superhuman System didn't add stats like Luck or charisma to the manipulatable stats because those stats were not meant to be manipulated by the user! Those stats were too powerful, and even the system couldn't manipulate them however it wanted! They were stats that the user was born with, and only your ability and willingness to improve yourself would give you more luck or charisma! But Mark was already extremely lucky even without adding any points to his luck! Mark was able to survive against an Armageddon, beat the Armageddon, and then he managed to fight against Anima for four years without losing his life! That was not something that anyone could do without having an insane amount of luck!
So getting something like the critical strike back to back without having a hundred percent chance was possible for him!
