Chapter 256 - Tactical Retreat
The sharp metal fur were no different from needles and their speed were even more faster than a bullet's.
David eyes narrowed slightly as he saw the tips of the needles were coated in purplish colour. They were poisonous.
But his gaze hardened and he smashed his massive fist against the young man.
"Bam!"
While simultaneously activating bronze body as the metal needles struck him, producing a few clanging sounds and then dropping to the ground, after their momentum had been used up.
"Two down, four to go." As he said this, David dashed backwards in a retreat.
"Bang!"
The ground in which he had been standing on previously exploded as a hole the size of an adult's fist could be seen. A large bullet was embedded into it.
David scowled. "Who still uses guns nowadays?"
David continuously retreated, continuously dodging the bullets with his speed.
Since there was no way he could defeat the remaining four people, David choose to retreat deep into the forest. Things would become troublesome of the light skinned guy chose to join in the fight.
"Quick! Catch that bastard!" One of the second year students said with gritted teeth, he couldn't believe he had been defeated without having a chance to fight back.
As the others were about to move, the light skinned, blue haired young man raised his hands up. "I will handle this."
The others paused in their steps and hesitated. It was a huge loss of face for a new student to defeat a second year student. And if news git out, they would forever live in their shame.
There was even the possibility of being sent out of the institute as being a second year student meant the institute had acknowledged them as geniuses but if news about them being defeated by a junior got to the institute, the institute would assume that their talent had been expended and would chase them out.
Which was why they needed to personally wipe away this humiliation themselves but since it was His order, they knew he would take are if things for them which was why they let him.
David had fled quite the distance with his incredible speed.
"Where do you think you are going." A voice suddenly said from beside him while he was fleeing. David's expression changed drastically. Someone had approached him and he didn't even know about it.
He wasn't the least bit slow with his response. His muscles inflated by several times and his skin momentarily turned bronze. He smashed his fist to the side.
The air distorted and exploded as David's fist shrilled toward the person that had just spoken.
It was the light skinned, blue haired young man. He stood casually with folded arms. And when he saw David's fist coming for him, he sidestepped, dodging the fist attack.
"Too slow." He lifted his legs and it blurred into a shadow and smashed against David's abdomen.
"Bam!"
David was sent flying as he smashed through numerous trees, breaking them into pieces before coming to a stop.
Wiping the blood off his lips. David's expression turned solemn as he stood up.
"As a second year student, don't you feel ashamed bullying a junior?" He still couldn't understand how his abrupt punch had been dodged.
In a moment of haste, he had activated five times strength on his arm and even the bronze body but his attacks had still being dodged.
The young man walked forwards casually as be chuckled. "I'm a third year student and we aren't within the institute so there is no use saying that now. Drop everything you have on you and accept to be thoroughly searched and I might just consider letting you live."
David smiled. But inwardly he cursed himself. A third year student? He was certainly as good as dead if he wasn't careful. "Senior, I'm guessing you don't know this but I'm a personal disciple of a Senior Professor. There is no way he would let you off If I come to any harm."
David said shamelessly. It was taking more time than he had expected to destroy the gene force that had invaded his body.
The force was threatening to wipe out the genetic structures that made up his organs. If it successfully got to his kidney had wiped the genetic structure out, it would be as though he had no kidney in the first place. As if he was never born with one from the womb.
This was how dangerous genetic forces were.
Previously, it took about half a second or less to wipe out genetic forces of the phasers he had met. But this one was even more tenacious as it refused to be destroyed by Formless Heat.
The young man paused in his steps when he heard this. "A senior professor?" A senior professor was no joke and was even equal to his own backing.
This made him hesitate. Frowning, he gazed at David
But if the kid has what he was looking for, it would certainly be worth it if he could get the Nightcore in his hands. And even his backing would gladly protect him no matter the cost.
Thinking up to here, he glanced at David then smiled sinisterly. "You dare try to pick up the status of a personal disciple of a Senior professor? Who knows if you are lying or not."
With that, his figure blurred into several after images and punched at David's stomach once more.
David was unable to even track his movements and felt as though a large boulder had smashed against his stomach before his body was sent into the air once more.
"Dammit!" David cursed inwardly and puked out two mouthfuls of blood. The other party wasn't at all intimidated by his words which had proved to be futile.
Hurriedly, he picked himself up and activated fifth star. His body shrunk by a few inches as his muscles compressed tightly against each other, bringing out the contoured edges of his muscles, biceps and chest.
The ground beneath him cracked slightly due to the pressure he was emanating and the air twisted around his body as the speed of his blood revolving in his body distorted gravity, creating atmospheric pressure in the atmosphere.
