Multi-Gene

Chapter 258 - David's Death

David could only watch in horror as the flames flew towards him. He felt as though if his thought process had frozen, as though he couldn't move a single inch under the searing flames and only watch blankly.

"You best defend your self." Hazel's voice instantly snapped him out of his delusions. David expression darkened. The time he was supposed to utilise to move away from the direction of the flames had been wasted. But he knew the fault wasn't from him.

It was the natural fear a lower lifeform had of a higher lifeform. It was as though his genes and body froze in fear, not allowing him to move a single muscles.

In fact, Hazel's voice wasn't supposed to knock him out of his stupor and David suspected it was the Vampire and the werewolf gene developing in his body that did the job. Only that they were too little to do much, otherwise he wouldn't be placed in this sort of situation.

Suddenly, David felt a strange kind of rage he had never felt before well up from within inside him out of nowhere.

Without hesitation, he activated Sixth Star!

The muscles and bones in his body compressed even more, making them even stronger than Tempered steel metal. Not stopping there, his body turned to a shiny bronze colour, making him look like a real bronze sculpture. What was even more astonishing was the fact that there seem to be a little silver hue glowing softly and then disappearing as though it was a phantom.

With an angry roar, he circulated Formless heat and scorching fury. His bronze coloured body took on an orange hue as though an explosion was going on within him.

Stomping his feet to the ground, the ground gave out a thud, hollowing out and he immediately dashed forwards like a lightning bolt, directly into the flames that was attempting to burn him. Everything happened in less than half a second.

Breathing out the fire for two seconds straight, the blue haired young man was unable to handle the consumption of his gene force and was forced to stop, coughing out a mouthful of smoke and acid.

His eyes suddenly widened as he saw that David was still alive.

Currently, David's body had been scorched black and even his hair had been burnt off. Several part of his body had melted especially the two arm he had used to shield his face and the flesh on his legs.

The flesh and muscles had been burnt, revealing the bones in his forearm and foreleg. But he was still alive and currently, he appeared before the young.

Using his bony fingers, he stabbed straight into the young man's heart.

The blue haired boy had been thoroughly shocked and wasn't expecting David too survive the flame attack not to talk about retaliating.

He wanted to move out of the way but his speed was just too slow as he had already used most of his strength in testing out his flame ability. And never in his wildest dream would he think it would be the actual cause of his death.

"Crunch!"

David's hands immediately crushed the young man's several rib bones and grabbed at his heart.

From his fear, his expression suddenly turned wicked and he shouted. "Then, let's die together!"

He grabbed a dagger out of no where and plunged it straight towards David's heart.

David smiled balefully and didn't even try to dodge the attack. If he moved now, he could have evaded the attack but also, he wouldn't be able to grab hold of the young man's heart and would only leave him with severe injury.

But David was determined to kill this person and nothing was going to stop him from doing so.

"Puchi!" The dagger stabbed into David's body as though it was slicing a block of soft cheese.

Blood splattered from the stab wound and sprayed on the young man's face and also on David's face.

"Pfft!"

David immediately spat out a mouthfuls of blood as he staggered backwards, eventually falling on his butt.

The young man also staggered backwards but remained standing His face expressed disbelief, discontent and numerous expressions one couldn't fathom as he couldn't believe had just happened.

"Bang!" The man fell to his knees, still clutching at the hole on his chest. Opening and closing his mouth as though he wanted to say something. Then fell sideways as the light in his eyes faded.

David struggled and crawled the ground. A few meters away from him, his backpack was lying on the floor. In it contained the high grade Insta-heal serum given to him by professor white.

It was so close to him that it would take even a single step to reach there in his peak but right now, strength began to leave his body and couldn't even crawl anymore more.

Blood and sand covered his face and his body as he moaned. A handful of dust entered his mouth and nose as he struggled to breath.

David's eyes were dull and he chuckled softly as blood continued to spill out from his mouth. "Is this how I will die? Again?"

"Certainly not my best choice." he muttered softly and continued talking incoherently.

"David? Hey, David! Wake up!" he seem to hear Hazel's voice calling him from afar.

"I feel very sleepy." his eyes gradually began to close as blood continued to spill out from his chest like a water jet as his heart also stopped beating.

"David? Hey, David! Wake up!" he seem to hear Hazel's voice calling him from afar.

There was a few seconds of silence that reigned in the environment when suddenly, David's body shook as though he was having a seizure as massive amount of electricity flowed directly from his imprint straight to his heart, jolting him awake.

"What's taking him so long? Senior should have dealt with that boy by now." one of the five second year student David had injured previously complained.

Currently, the five of them sat in a circle around under a smart compact tent one of them had brought.

"You best keep you mouth shut and stop complaining. I still can't believe you got your ass handed to you in just one fist, by a junior at that." One of them shook his head as he found it also ridiculous.

The guy's face flushed red in anger and embarrassment. "I was only caught off guard. That junior was simply too fast! You can ask Pijero, he too can testify.." The guy said as he hurriedly tried to clear himself off the embarrassment.
