Multi-Gene

"David?" Hazel\'s voice hesitantly rang from within the imprint.

But still, there was still no response. David\'s red glaring eyes scanned through the entire forest and then rested on the body that was a few feet away from him.

His nose flared up at that moment and with agility not suitable for his current injured condition, he lept at the dead body, pressing it under him.

His mouth opened up wide, revealing four long and sharp canines. He bit straight at the neck, of the corpse, making a bloody mess of the neck.

It wasn\'t up to ten minutes the young man had died, so the blood was still warm and fresh.

The instant the blood flowed from his mouth, his throat, directly into his body, his cells, muscles and veins absorbed the blood endlessly like a sponge.

David\'s stomach was like a bottomless pit. He sucked in the blood without end until there was nothing but a dried corpse underneath him.

The cells in his body shivered in joy and like a starving dog, they devoured the stream of blood with no end. The cells, muscles, veins and organs that were being destroyed started to reform back to normal.

However, the blood appears to be hardly sufficient as merely a portion of the destroyed cells, organs, and muscles were being repaired, there were still a lot of destroyed parts that hadn\'t been repaired yet. Not to talk of the part that has been burnt by the young man\'s fire ability.

Blood splattered all over his mouth and face as he struggled to gulp more blood but there was not a single drop left in the body of the young man.

Furious, David let out a wild hiss and with his strength, he separated the head from the body out of anger, using his bare hands.

He halted suddenly as his head snapped sideways. His crimson eyes shone as he seems to have sensed something.

With astonishing speed, he moved quietly through the forest. His speed was even faster than he usually was during his peak.

His steps were eerily silent and his movements were untraceable, his body like a ghost as he moved.

Gradually, he reached a part of a forest and he paused his movement when he heard a couple of voices say.

"Bervlin, are you sure you aren\'t lost or mistaken?" They were the five second-year students that had come together with the third-year student.

They had been walking for a while now and the others were starting to get impatient.

"The wind changes direction every once in a while, so I\'m unable to quickly navigate through the forest. But we should be close now." Bervlin assured them as he continued to sniff his way through the forest.

"But I don\'t think they would have gotten this far, knowing how powerful senior is," Berlin said with a frown.

This made the others nod their heads in agreement with him. The senior was more a three-gene Phaser. There was no way an ordinary phaser would outrun him or reach this far in pursuit.

"Let\'s be patient. In the next 20 minutes, we still can\'t find the senior, it would be better we head to the city and wait for him in there." Berlin said after some thoughts.

The others also agreed with his opinion. Berlin was the temporary leader anyways and had the strength to back it up as he had fully merged with his gene, getting ready to assimilate with a third gene and place it within his genetic pool.

Which would then grant him a genetic ability. It was something to be respected about.

Suddenly, Bervlin stopped in his tracks. "Are we close?" one of them asked excitedly.

"I think so." Bervlin said but he was also confused.

"I smell blood but it isn\'t as intense as the one previously and it\'s gradually heading towards our direction, fast." Berlin continued his analysis.

"Do you think it might be the senior?" Pijero asked after the rest remained silent.

"How fast is the person moving?" Berlin asked with a slight frown.

"Very fast. Even faster than John." John was the fastest amongst the five of them. Only that he had the worst personality as his mouth was is even faster which was why the four refused to talk much to him.

Berlin relaxed his tense muscles and told everyone. " Relax guys, there\'s an 80% chance it\'s senior. There is no need to be this tensed up " The others obvious relaxed their body when they heard his words and waited for the person to come.

"What is that?" Pijero was the one with the greatest eyesight. He spotted a dark shadow on the tree standing quietly on the tree, watching their every movement.

The rest also stopped at his words and simultaneously faced in that certain direction after hearing his words.

Seeing as he had been spotted the figure jumped down from the tree and vanished like smoke as his body moved in an untraceable pattern.

Before the five could figure out what was happening the figure had appeared in front of them and jumped onto one of them, Bervlin who was at the forefront and took a huge bite at his throat.

Frightened, Bervlin struggled to get the body off of him with his strength of but he was just too slow as blood splattered on the ground and also David\'s face

Coming back to their senses the remaining four people second-year student shouted fiercely.

"Bervlin!" Berlin was the first to react. His hands immediately turned into sharp claws. Is wipe them without hesitation at the figure that had jumped out of nowhere.

Before his claw could even get any close to the figure the person moved like a fountain leaving after images as he appeared before Pijero.

Pijero was able to react. He agitated his gene and activated his gene force.

Two incredible sharp and longhorns grew out from his head. Without warning, he jabbed his head at David who was rushing towards him with incredible speed.

"Puchi!" His two horns stabbed straight into David\'s stomach, penetrating deep into his body. But David seems to not even feel a thing his nails turned incredibly sharp as he stabbed at his prey\'s chest.

Crushing the hard rib bones within them. He stabbed his hand straight into his opponent heart spraying out blood everywhere.

Forcefully withdrawing his fingers a true there was a beating organ in his group pumping out dark reddish blood to the ground and in his fingers.

David\'s next action immediately pulled the rest to shock. And your eyes widened in horror.

David placed the still beating out in his mouth and swallowed it down in one gulp.

The four people shivered and the most cowardly amongst them, John stuttered as he pointed at David with shivering fingers.

"D-demon!" The rest also shivered in disbelief.

Gulping down the heart seems to have made him even more thirsty. His figure flashed and he appeared before Berlin.

Although he had been stoned by David action he wasn\'t slow in the slightest. The agitated is cells and activated his gene.

His muscles hardened incredibly and as they seem to have transformed to stone. Abruptly, he smashed his fist at the fasting coming to David.

"Boom!"

Sounds of bones cracking resounded and the air shook as visible waves shock waves spread out in all directions.

David\'s body was blasted backwards like a kite without a string. He smashed through several trees and later, the entire forest turned silent.

Only the breathing of the remaining three second-year students was audible in the Silent Forest.

With a frown, Berlin moved slowly towards the crashing place of the stranger. His steps were heavy and slow. That was because of his Jean it would grant him incredible strength and defence but it made his speed very slow.

As he got there, he saw David\'s body on the ground, spilling out blood from the two holes in his chest and his mouth.

Remaining silent for a bit, he listened carefully and eventually breathed out in relief. He didn\'t hear the sound of any heartbeat, which means the person had died. The horn stab from Pijero was supposed to have killed him but it seems the person was even more tenacious as he wanted to also bring Berlin down with him.

His Stone-Breaking Punch finally finished the monster.

Remembering that some of his teammates had died, Berlin\'s face turned dark and he turned around anxiously to inspect his squad.

Suddenly, David who had been lying dead on the ground opened his eyes, revealing sinister red pupils.

With astonishing speed, he stood up and jumped at the exposed back of Bervlin.

Startled, Berlin didn\'t panic at all which showed how he was able to be the leader of the group of five. He agitated his gene even more and poured in even more gene force, making his skin harden, no different than stone itself. The stone skin gene.

His sharp teeth instantly pierced through the stone skin Berlin was proud of and gulped down blood in mouthfuls.
