SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: What Bullshit Is Even This.

Ferris scratched the back of his head awkwardly before immediately recounting everything that had happened.

From Kael’s arrival.

To the S-rank assessment.

And finally...

To the disaster currently unfolding beneath the Association.

Jonas listened without interrupting a single time.

However, the more he listened, the deeper the crease between his brows became. By the time Ferris finished speaking, his expression had become thoroughly unpleasant.

He stood there silently for several seconds as though trying to process what he had just heard.

Finally, he looked at Ferris.

"So you’re telling me... all this commotion was caused because that freak is fighting the boy?"

Ferris instinctively wanted to correct him.

They’re both freaks...

That sentence almost escaped his lips.

In the end, however, common sense prevailed.

He simply nodded.

Jonas frowned even harder.

"So he’s already capable of fighting her..."

The old man’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Scarlet Fist was not someone to underestimate.

Even among S-rank Hunters, there existed enormous differences in strength. Reaching S-rank merely earned one a seat at the table. It didn’t mean everyone sitting there possessed equal power.

And Scarlet Fist...

She occupied one of the very top seats.

Even Jonas himself, a man publicly acknowledged as one of the strongest S-rank Hunters alive, had never once dared to underestimate her.

Not because of her combat experience.

Not because of her martial skill.

But because of the sheer absurdity of her ability.

At the beginning of every battle, her strength remained around the level of an ordinary S-rank Hunter.

Then she fought.

The longer the battle continued, the more excited she became. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The more excited she became, the greater her battle intent grew.

The greater her battle intent became, the larger her body swelled, the hotter her skin burned, and the more terrifying her strength became.

It was a frightening cycle.

One that continuously fed itself.

Eventually, she stopped resembling a human being altogether.

She became something else.

A walking natural disaster.

A living weapon of mass destruction wrapped in human flesh.

The frightening part was that nobody truly knew where her limit lay.

Not even Jonas.

He had sparred with her before, but every single time she somehow managed to become stronger than the last.

It was precisely because of that terrifying growth that he had rushed over personally.

If the battle continued much longer...

Forget the underground training hall.

The entire Association building, together with several surrounding blocks, might very well disappear from the map.

Jonas let out a slow breath before turning toward Ferris.

"Come with me."

Ferris blinked.

"Me?"

His finger pointed toward himself in disbelief.

Go down there?

Into the middle of that?

Jonas shot him a glance.

"Who else?"

With that, he turned and strode toward the Association building without another word.

Ferris stared at his retreating back before letting out a helpless sigh.

He had absolutely no desire to get anywhere near those two lunatics.

Unfortunately...

He also had absolutely no choice.

...

Meanwhile...

Far beneath the Hunter Association, completely oblivious to the chaos they were causing above, Kael and Scarlet Fist continued their relentless exchange.

Scarlet Fist suddenly exploded forward.

Compared to several minutes ago, her body had expanded even further. Towering muscles rippled beneath her crimson skin while waves of scorching heat distorted the surrounding air. Every step she took crushed the already fractured alloy beneath her feet.

She swung.

A massive fist swept across the battlefield like a blazing wrecking ball, the surrounding air igniting from the sheer friction.

Kael reacted instantly.

He ducked beneath the sweeping punch before chopping downward with the edge of his forearm.

BOOM!

His strike crashed into her elbow with enough force to shatter reinforced steel.

Yet Scarlet Fist merely frowned.

She barely felt it.

Before Kael could follow up, her opposite arm whipped around.

A vicious cross slammed squarely into his chest.
