Multi-Gene

Swish! 

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Flying blades covered the skies as the more than thirty people attacked each other without warning.

The circle in the middle of the field was very chaotic as brain waves overlapped upon each other, creating some sort of illusion through electric signals as though this was a real battle field.

The view of blood and guts spilling to the air added meaning to the illusion, just like the finishing touches of a perfect painting.

David stood at the side, expressionlessly observing the way the people here attack and defend themselves using their blades and different techniques.

He couldn’t help but shake his head. He could finish all of this in a single second if he was allowed to use just a bit of his strength but the academy had forbidden him from using anything else apart from blade kinesis. 

With his hands folded before him, his fingers hidden inside of his large sleeves, he performed a hand seal. The blade circling around him instantly stood still, right before him. 

His hands hidden inside his sleeves changed and the blade transformed, turning into multiple after images as pierced forward like an arrow.

“Triple meteorite Thrust!”

It was as though the blade was a meteor as it broke through the air barrier, creating some sort of red line in the skies with its friction. 

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The meteoric blade slammed against the sneak attack of a fellow individual, flinging the person’s blade back. 

The man instantly moved backwards and regained control of his blade as he changed his seals once to attack, but he was too slow to react as David’s second meteoric attack slammed into him. 

The man managed to react slightly as he controlled his flying, placing it as a shield before him but the sword was sent flying as the second meteoric strike landed on the blade. 

The sneaky man’s eyes widened in shock and was about to say something when David’s blade pierced through the air with a whizzing sound, creating a hole in the man’s throat in the blink of an eye. 

From the beginning of the attack, to the ending, only five second had passed𝞰𝑶𝐯𝗲𝔩𝗇𝗲xt.𝒸𝑂𝓂

The first level of the Consecutive meteoric strike propels the blade forward in a three time attack. And if the enemy wasn’t prepared for it, the attack could potentially kill or injure the enemy. 

But if one knew about the technique, it was quite easy to counter as once the technique is been activated, it becomes really difficult to control the direction of the attack. If the enemy completely manages to change his location, then the attack would be quite useless. 

Not bothering to glance at the person he has just killed, he continued to observe the attacks of the people fighting around him, two people in particular, A man and a woman. 

Their attacks are particularly ferocious and their strength was weak at all from the waves David could feel off of them. Those were the only people he was wary of and as for the rest, he thought nothing much of them.

His gaze suddenly hardened and his hand seals suddenly changed. In that moment, the blade floating right before him began revolving, spinning rapidly like the blade of a revolving rotor. It’s after image forming some sort of white protective shield before him, protecting half of his body.

Three different sharp blades flew through the air with forces twice as fast as a bullet slammed against the protective shield right before David. 

Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” 

“Haha. Brat, do you think we would let you go so easily?” Three people moved quickly and circled around David. 

David frowned as he saw the three people targeting him. “Who are you guys?” David asked with slight curiousity. 

He didn’t know why they were targeting him as they had never met before except from now, and he was sure he hadn’t done anything to provoke anyone as of yet. 

But then, trouble always finds him no matter how the effort was, which was why he wasn’t surprised this happened, only curious as to how he had offended this three people. 

David’s eye brows twitched slightly. As the three blades slammed against his own blade. The was a slight sharp headache as the strain of defending against three different techniques was tasking on his brain. 

Upon hearing David’s words, the one in the forefront that seem to be their leader laughed… He laughed in anger and as soon as he stopped, he immediately attacked without warning. 

Changing his hands seals, his fingers left afterimages as he also attacked. 

The world seem to turn dark as there seem to be an illusion of an amaggeddon with meteors falling down from the skies with its boiling red hot head. 

David’s brain waves spiked unusually very high that it actually created the illusion of multiple meteors striking down, confusing his opponent with it. Before the three people could figure out what was happening, the floating meteors struck downwards with increasing velocity, using gravity as its propelling force.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

By the time the illusion faded, the three people glanced at the newly created holes in their bodies in confusion and then at David. With a bam sound, their bodies dropped down in sync. And even in death, they probably didn’t know how they died. 

David’s blade vibrated and the blood on it flew off die to its vibration. 

“Didn’t think i would use one of my trump card this early.” David muttered as his Blade flew back to him.

He hadn’t expected to use one of his trump card to early when the mission hadn’t even started yet. But there was a slight smile in his face. 

He was thoroughly satisfied with the strength of third level of the Consecutive meteoric attack. He didn’t think the attack would be this good.

“What’s up with the phenomenon though.” He wasn’t sure why the illusion suddenly showed up but he wasn’t complaining about it. 

When David looked at the place around his, he realized that the people who had been fighting around him had moved to the fight somewhere else. 

To them, David’s attack was just too powerful that he had killed three people whose strength was not too different from their own. 

In a few minutes, the fight had been concluded and the winners decided. Out of the thirty plus people,, ten had died while the other twenty quickly escaped out of the circle when they saw they couldn’t hope to compete with the people inside of the circle and couldn’t also risk their lives for it. 

“The winners has been decided. I thank you people for coming, please head to the guest room to take your rest, you can leave whenever you what.” The middle-aged man bowed to those who didn’t win and spoke respectfully. 

He had seen their strength and couldn’t help but sigh in pity and envy. He didn’t have the talent and likewise his daughter, there was nothing he could do about it. 

The people who had lost nodded their head and followed a servant who was assigned to lead them to the guest room. 

The middle-aged man Wu Feng moved towards the circle and bowed his head, the respect in his eyes was very obvious. It was obvious he admired the strength of the five people as they were the last people standing which showed that their strength wasn’t something to joke about. 

“I thank you for accepting our invitation. Please, this is no place for a chat, let head over to the mansion.” The middle-aged man suggested talking about the blood and body parts on the floor. 

David and the other gout nodded their heads. They then proceeded to follow the middle-aged man to the mansion.

The next morning, before the large mansion, in the large field, a group of people proceeded to climb atop a large but luxurious carriage. Different people boarded different carriages which was pulled by large tamed beasts. 

But David liked being alone, so he board his Scarlet-scaled horse and followed behind but judging from the other three beat horses not to far from him, he wasn’t the only one who doesn’t like being cooped up inside the carriage. 

It wasn’t the old man who was leading the herb-picking team as expected, instead it was his beautiful daughter that lead the team.

David and the rest of the team were to protect the lady and the carriage from harm or powerful beast which they might meet on their way to the forest. 

After a couple hours on the journey, they finally reached the edge of a large forest. “This is the most the horses can go, the rest of the journey would have it be on foot.”

The lady came out of her carriage with her guards. The guards quickly tied up the horses and the carriage on a large tree. 

David also came down from his horse-beast, tying it to a large tree. As he was doing so, he observed the other four people from the corner of his eyes. Their strength didn’t seem to be ordinary and even with his increase in brain waves, he couldn’t completely see through them.

“Ahhh!”

THUMP!
