Chapter 22: New Mission
Chapter 22: New Mission
They needed him to make their queen awaken, and they would surely get what they wanted!
Screech!
Boom!
The Calamity Class screeched as it reached down to pry the building off and grab Mark, but it didn't even get a chance to do that before a hand suddenly burst out from under the building and grabbed it by its face! The Calamity Class was shocked as a powerful force, stronger than anything it had ever felt before, dragged it closer while squeezing down on its face with massive force! Mark's face slowly started to emerge from under the building with a demonic glare, and for the first time in its life, the Calamity Class felt something like fear!
SCREECH!!
Slam!
Mark let go of the ant's face and slammed his fist into its jaw, sending it flying into the skyscraper at the side! Mark grabbed the edge of the hole that he made and slowly pulled himself out from under the building as he stood tall in full view of the world!
Everyone in the entire world was stunned as they saw the imposing figure of GHOST drag his way out from under the building! They all thought that GHOST was dead, but it turns out that he was perfectly fine!
[He's alive! GHOST is alive! I can't believe this! Even after having a building dropped on him, GHOST still managed to crawl his way out from under and he is standing strong against the monster! And... hold on. Zoom in! Zoom in right now! Oh my GOD!! It seems that in the chaos, GHOST has lost his mask, and his face is exposed! We can finally get a look at the face of the vigilante that has protected us for years!]
Mark was standing on top of the building and trying to catch his breath as he looked around at all the destruction that the fight between him and the Calamity already caused. The city was a complete wreck, and it would take a long time for them to fix the extent of damage from this fight!

Mark read through all of these notifications quickly, and he was able to understand everything at once! So the system wants him to win this fight without getting hit even once by the Calamity class. It sounds like an absurd request, but as Mark was now, he knew that he could do it. Mark's stamina and strength were already back to their best, so he was sure that he could hold his own against the ant Anima!
[Mark! You're alive! I thought you were dead! Where is your fucking mask!?]
Pat's voice came through the comms, and Mark put his hand up in shock to find out that his mask was gone! Mark looked up and saw that there was a camera looking down at him! He wouldn't be able to hide his face anymore since he didn't even know when he lost the mask, so he knew that there was no need for him to bother finding the mask anymore since everyone had already seen his face!
Mark was not happy about the fact that his identity was now exposed, but he didn't mind it as much as he thought he would. Mark wasn't hiding his identity because he was afraid of anyone; he was just hiding it because he liked the anonymity that he had! There was a lot less shit to deal with when no one knows who you are!
Mark decided that the gig was up, and he would have to deal with the reporters and popularity for a while after this fight! Mark just ignored the camera that was still looking down at him as a loud screech pierced through the air and drew everyone's attention!
Thud! Thud!
Two figures landed on the building beside Mark, and Mark turned to see that Tilda and Lightning Rider had finally reached them! The time difference between when Mark was buried under the building and when he came up was just over thirty seconds, so the two of them were only reaching the building now! Mark could see the surprise on their faces as they looked at his face, and he knew that they had a lot of questions that they wanted to ask him, but he didn't allow them to ask anything as he turned to look at the monster that was dragging itself out of the building angrily!
Tilda was shocked as she stared at Mark's face. No matter how she looked at him, there was no doubt that this was only a young man! He was basically a teenager! A teenager has been fighting alongside them all this time with this much power!? Tilda didn't know any superhumans below the age of twenty who fought on the field actively. All the superhumans that faced off against Anima were mature already, and none of them were even in college anymore, so Tilda was stunned by Mark's age!
"Go and help the other superhumans. I don't think they can last against the Disaster Classes for long. I'll handle this Anima and draw it away from the others. If the reinforcements arrive, then send them this way."
Tilda muttered a surprised 'what?' when she heard Mark saying this! Was he insane? Did he really intend to send them away and fight against that monster alone? Lightning Rider brought out his pole and got ready to fight along with Mark as he completely ignored Mark's words.
"Don't get ahead of yourself just because you managed to get a lucky hit. If you think that you can beat a Calamity class on your own, then you're delusional."
Lightning Rider said this, and Mark shook his head at them. Mark wasn't just telling them to leave because he wanted to fight alone. This Calamity Class would not even look at them if they stayed here to fight! For some reason, the Calamity Class was focused on Mark and was only sending all his attacks at Mark! Mark knew that there was a reason for this, but he didn't care since they couldn't do anything about it right now. All he knew was that the two of them would be able to do a lot more for the other superhumans who were struggling against the Disaster Classes!
