Chapter 265 - Double Leap
"Explained to me fourth elder l, what happened?" It had only being a little more than a minute but the second elder had already reached the fourth elders location.
"Do you remember the little kid hunter I questioned at the city gates?"
Second elder frowned at the unexpected question but still nodded his head after some thoughts. "I think the kid had something to do with it."
"Explain everything to me." The second elder demanded to which the fourth elder complied and began to explain the entire fight to him.
The second elder\'s expression gradually turned gloomy as he listened.
"I knew the boy was suspicious. I think it\'s the blood of the clan leader\'s third son, Nicholas I smelled on him." He added.
"You think the kid might have being the one to kill him?" The fourth elder raised her eyebrows as she asked.
"Of course not. Although the kid was able to escape from your grasp, his strength still isn\'t enough to eliminate Nicholas." The second elder said as a matter of fact.
The fourth elder also nodded her head in agreement.
"But still, we must find him and capture him. He must have known something about it for him to escape immediately he saw you."
"Scour through the skies just incase he tries to escape from there while I try to sweep through the forest to find him. I already memorized his scent, there is no way he is escaping from me." The second elder suggest and his eyes glinted with a cold light.
With his incredibly sense of smell due to his gene, it was only a matter of time before he found David.
"That\'s good. This way, there would be no way he would escape from our grasp." The fourth elder added.
"I will leave first." With that, the fourth elder stretched her wings wide and flapped them heavily as she fly up.
Seeing this, the second elder nodded his at her as she left.
Agitating the gene in his body, his face trembled and then began to twitch.
And then, the muscles in his face spammed rapidly. It looked extremely evil and demonic.
Before long, the bone in his face let out a few cracking noises as the flat shape face of the second elder stretched forwards, forming a large dog snort on his face.
"Sniff, Sniff."
He raised his dog snort face to the ground where David had landed and took a proper inhale of the smell.
After which, he raised his nose up high in air as he sniffed for a smell. A few seconds later, he seem to have found something and his snapped sideways.
"Found you."
His voice was strangely hoarse and not a single bit clear.
With his dog like legs, his steps were quick, he rapidly vanished, heading to a certain direction.
• * * * * * * *
"Troublesome." David muttered as he continuously ran deeper into the forest. By now, he had passed the outer part of the forest, the safe region.
At least, that was why the half broken signboard he had passed a few seconds ago had on its face.
His arm trembled incessantly as though he was having a muscle spam. The force the lady carried was way stronger than it looked. The claw technique she used at the end seem to contain some kind of penetrating force.
Four claw mark were on his hand despite using bronze body, refusing to heal even when his vampire body was at work. But strangely, blood didn\'t flow out of the wound.
It just remained open, refusing to heal and it also stings a lot too.
But that wasn\'t what was on David\'s mind. David was incredibly worried. He had tried most of the combat techniques he had used in the past, but nothing seem to be working.
The cyclonic technique, Formless Heat, scorching fury and even his most trusted technique, the Three-Fold Steps which he had used his life to transform into the Three-Fold Strengthening technique also wasn\'t working.
It was as though he had the pathways of the technique totally wrong. Almost as if his body system was entirely different from a normal human\'s body system.
At least, this was what David could concur was wrong.
He had come up with that theory because of the fact that anytime he performed his combat techniques, his veins would rupture and his muscles would implode.
Tips means that he was practicing the technique wrongly. But, David had been practicing the technique for a while and he could even revolve the circulation in his sleep.
There was no way he would make any mistakes in the technique. Which the structure of his body had changed into something entirely different.
Before this, if David had a 100% confidence in escaping his current predicament, now he wasn\'t even confident he would escape alive.
Those two people were stronger than him after all and he was still just a Spryher. There was no way he would escape without a scratch of he want very lucky.
And currently, luck seem to be in his side as it was night time. It would be incredibly difficult to find him admit the dense forest.
David sighed in relief upon this thought, but still he ran at half speed while trying his hardest not to bump into the trees.
David\'s ears twitched. He seem to have heard something from behind him.
David took a glimpse backwards and his expression turned sour. The elderly man had somehow managed to catch up to him l.
"Not good! How did he find?" David screamed in his head.
"Hey kid, can you stop let\'s have a chat." The man said casually with a dark chuckle. He seem to find the chase fun.
Although the man was still at quite the distance from David, his voice was loud and his voice projected right Into David\'s ears.
Hearing those words, David ran faster into the forest like a mad person. His speed was very fast but his reaction speed wasn\'t entirely able to evade the incoming trees and David had no choice but to slam Into them.
This slowed him down considerably and despite his incredible speed, the man was still closing in the distance between them incredibly quickly.
If he didn\'t do anything about it, the man would surly catch up to him a few seconds.
Getting his teeth, David\'s face hardened. Pushing his toes hard, he activated his Sky walker.
Intense flames spurted out from beneath his feet and his entire body was propelled into the skies.
The second elder face darkened in fury. "Get back here for me."
Activating his genetic ability, his body stretched as he leapt up five meters in the air.
His body shoot upwards like a bullet, heading straight towards David. He stretched out his hands to grab at David\'s foot but wasn\'t able since David was already a few meters above him.
The fourth elder didn\'t panic. His hind legs suddenly emitted a strange undulations and vibrations as he kicked backwards in the air.
The air instantly exploded and the falling body of the fourth elder was propelled upwards. His speed was even faster than when he leapt from the ground.
One of genetic ability – Double Leap. Allows him to literally leap to times on air.
The distance between him and David shortened immediately.
"Got you!" David felt a hand grab on to his left boots. The man literally ignored the flames burning his hands and dragged David downwards.
He was only using the emergency thrusters since the main thrusters was faulty due to the lady\'s genetic ability.
There was no way the emergency thrusters could support both the man and David\'s weight. Both of them plunged to the ground gradually.
"Shit!" David cursed. "Hazel, release the left boots."
"Are you sure?" Hazel asked sceptically. David had gotten the Sky Walker boots for a very expensive amount of Gyno points. Releasing it was no different than throwing Gyno points away.
"Yes dammit! Don\'t you see in about to die here." David shouted.
"Alright, it\'s done." Her mechanical voice sounded In David\'s ear.
David\'s left boot turned loose and slid off his legs.
The second elder was startled and immediately wanted to grab at David\'s right leg. But David evaded and changed directions.
Flying with only one emergency thruster was incredibly difficult and slow. But David didn\'t mind it as long as he escaped.
The ground shook as dust flew into the air. The second elder angrily threw the boot he was holding away, smashing it to the ground.
His leg eyes lit up and before waiting for the person to speak, he cold voice sounded out.
"I\'ve found him, but he is the skies now. I will send you the coordinates. Find him and capture him, it should be a lot easier for you now."
"Alright." A female voice sounded, before he needed the call.
David hadn\'t flown for long before he spotted the familiar figure of the Winged lady.
It wasn\'t that he hadn\'t thought she would be there. He just want expecting her to come this soon.
He was using just one thrusters, it was only a matter of time before the lady eventually catches up to him.
"Let\'s risk it then." David mumbled.. His eyes shone in an unprecedented cold light.
