Multi-Gene

"Boom!" The room received an increase in pressure.

The man pointed his spear to the ground. The spear vibrated and oscillated rhythmically and the entire ground rumbled.

With this single spear, the sands and dust within a meter radius rose up like they were being controlled and got guided into waves as they swept at David.

Red grade, high level spear technique – Thousand Sandwave Thrust!

There was no time for David to dodge as the area of attack of the technique was simply massive. Everything a ten meter radius was being affected into its zone.

Since he couldn't dodge, he could only use brute force to break forcefully break it.

Throwing the chipped axe aside, an huge golden axe took place in his arm.

"Heavy Burst Slash!"

David grasped the axe and slashed down with all his strength.

Formless Heat!

The temperature in the hall increased drastically. It was as though the hall had turned to a very large oven.

Although his momentum and force were incredible, the masked man was stronger than him and had even more superior ability and genes than David.

His heated axe cleaved through the waves of sand but he was unable to hold on anymore as the sand waves crashed into him.

"Bam!"

Sand, stone and dust rammed into David, crashing him against the building wall, embedding him inside.

David was drenched in sand and dust. His hair, body, and cloth flooded with dust.

"Impossible! How are you still okay?" just when the masked man was about to deal a finishing blow, he saw David jumping out from the hole in the wall while shaking off the dust in his body.

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at David.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but you have you will have to try better than that." Vibrating his muscles softly, all the dust in his body fell to the ground, just leaving the one on his hair.

The Thousand Sandwave Thrust was incredibly fierce but it's still couldn't penetrate his defence although its power had been reduced by his attack which was why he wasn't seriously injured yet.

"Rumble! Boom! Boom!"

The two of them were once a again locked in an intense battle. As they continued to destroy the hall, creating multiple holes on the ground.

There were a few bandits who came in due to the noise but were immediately slain by David in single strokes without being able to resist.

The naked ladies in the hall had also ran out a long time ago in fear.

During the fight, David executed Formless Heat once in a while but was immediately neutralised by the masked man easily as though he couldn't feel the heat.

But this didn't make David give up.

"Cyclonic burst Slash!" his axe turned to multiple golden streaks of light and attacked the masked man.

"Do you really thing I have no ways to deal with you?" the masked man was getting increasingly impatient and agitated.

After this long fight, he had roughly grasped David's mode of attacks. He was only slightly fearful of the Heavy Burst Slash.

As fir the other axe techniques, he couldn't even be bothered with them.

He needed to land his spear on David. If not, it will be difficult to injure him or deal any form of damage.

With the spear force like a huge mountain, the masked man smashed his axe on David as he seem to have given up on defending his body.

David's eyes flashed with a glow. 'This is the moment I've been waiting for.'

"Heavy Burst Slash!"

The muscles in his arms inflated as he slashed his axe at the neck of the masked man.

The axe was like a phantom as it moved like a shooting star and even the pressure it emanated was like an illusion. Its speed was simply too fast.

"Not good." The masked man expression changed drastically as he tried his best to defend but he was still too slow.

The long, huge golden axe skimmed past his defences and slashed at his neck.

"Die!" Fear flashed across the man's face as he punched at David with his other hand.

David staggered backwards and blood spiked out from his mouth.

Lifting up his head, David look to gaze upon the result of his Slash.

At the last minute, the man suddenly shed his skin and his cloth and appeared at a corner of the hall.

His second gene allowed him the ability to shed his skin once in a few months, saving his life from danger.

The masked man was now naked, with his spear in hand as he glared at David withe fear in his eyes, touching upon the red mark on his mark on his neck.

"What a close call, had I not integrated with the Ecdysis Scorpion, I would have died in your arms." He said as he stared at David. His murderous waves increased to a very terrifying level.

David frowned as he glanced at the man before him. He had no face nor does he have any skin in his body, showing his hypodermis layer. All that was there was red muscles, veins and other things David didn't which to see.

He was a bit jealous of the gene as it allows one to escape certain death but still, the outcome of activating it wasn't something wished for.

"You are becoming more and more irritating." David frowned as he said this.

He had hoped to be able to kill the man with that Slash, but he escaped. There was no way he would ever get a chance like this again.

The now faceless man gritted his teeth and his eyes turned incredibly sinister. "I will make sure your die slowly for this. I will peel of your skin bit by bit and make you watch as I feed them to the-"

He suddenly stopped in his words as he stared blankly at his waist, and then back up at David.

"H-How could you be so fast?" he struggled to say.

David had unknowingly appeared before him. Currently, he coughed out a mouthful of blood as he breathed roughly, keeping himself standing with his huge axe.

"You talk to much.." David replied casually and watched as the now faceless body split into two separate parts.
