Multi-Gene

Even in his wildest imagination, David hadn’t expected to have met someone whose speed was so fast this early into the ruin.

According to his calculations, she had broken past mach three without any preparations, she blasted forwards with Mach five and her speed didn’t seem to decrease, moving with increasing velocity, appearing before him with her sword slashing at his neck.

David could feel a sharp prickle cutting through his skin as a sharp sword appeared just a few inches away from his neck.

Truthfully, this was the first time David had seen a human moving with such speed even faster than the blink of an eye.

Even the speed of the two old geezers at the academies could not be compared to the speed of this monstrous lady before him.

Perhaps, the reason could be because she was a Legacy successor, but even then David had also faced a Legacy successor before, but she wasn’t as strong as the lady before him

Time seemed to pause as their eyes collided. David’s pupils constricted he could see the faint sparks of the sword slicing through the air, creating friction from the speed. He could smell the faint scent of death caressing against his skin like the appealing scent of a lover. He knew if he wasn’t fast enough, he would certainly be heavily injured

All of a sudden, his gaze hardened and a faint smirk moulded on his countenance. ‘While you might be fast, I am faster, even I have no idea the limitations of my speed.’

A seemingly short-lived droning sound rode evenly through the frequency waves oscillating seamlessly in the air like a vehicle on a perfectly and carefully laid down path.𝒏𝔬𝒱𝑬𝑙𝞰𝓔xt.𝓒𝑜𝑚

Zzzzzzt! Bang!

Muscles taunting, ellicting an incredibly loud buzzing sound, a faint whip-like sound echoed from within David’s body as though his tendons are been stretched to their limits.

Rumble!

The wind itself ruptured, blasted apart in a circular radius forming a large wind barrier albeit a weak one around him.

BANG!

The wind barrier instantly vaporized, forming countless steam of liquid around them.

In the next moment, David’s figure vanished into thin air, the ground caved into an arc around the lady as he appeared behind her, his fist headed for her back.

BANG!

A long ravine appeared on the ground as a result of David’s fist. The Princess had dodged his fist attack, she spun around swiftly, slashing horizontally towards David’s waist.

Whoosh!

The wind ripped apart, but David was faster, his body fell backwards, now placed horizontally to the ground, the blade passed.

Placing one hand to the floor, he twisted as he kicked upwards at her chin.

BANG!

The sword moved and instantly blocked David’s surprise kick. Blasting her upwards to the air.

Flipping upright, David bent slightly to the ground and the ground caved within like a 50 meter wide hole appeared on it. David’s clothes whipped around as he was blasted through the air in pursuit of the lady.

In the blink of an eye, he had caught to her.

“Sword Storm.” Her voice fluttered through the air like the songs of a hummingbird.

But David wasn’t impressed, his expression turned solemn. He clenched his fist tightly.

Rumble!

The entire 500 meter radius seem to have turned into a blade grinding zone as the princess slashed rapidly at David.

“Ahhhh!”

A war cry erupted from David’s mouth and his figure together with his fist turned into numerous after images, punching out rapidly to match the speed of the sword storm.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Both sword and fist net each other at almost the same speed. The helpers watched in awe, spectating more than a kilometer away as they witnessed the fight between their princess and this strong person.

“Their strength is more than above an integrated Phaser stage.” One of the female guards of the Princess muttered in amazement.

“We can’t even begin to compare ourselves to them. I guess the princess bringing us here is just to deal with her basic amenities and also small fries with strength similar to us.” Another female guard stated in a sad tone.

“Only legacy successors have the ability to match strength with them. But we with replicated genes, we will only remain in the button no matter how strong we are.”

“There’s no need to be envious. Only a limited few have the access to a Legacy Technique. So there’s no need to be worried.”

“What about that guy? He doesn’t seem like a legacy successor, but he was able to match strength with the princess.”

“He’s probably some old monster of the Astral Realm, that had used some means or treasure to enter this Ancient battleground, thank goodness he met the Princess otherwise we wouldn’t know what commotion he would have caused.”

As the six guards were gossiping amongst each other.

The Princess slammed her sword against David’s shoulder, slamming him back to the ground in the process.

Dust rose and with a wave, they fell. David pants heavily and he glanced at his shoulder which was now covered in blood with a bloody gash across it.

His two fists were also covered in multiple cuts that appeared to be flesh wounds.

“You should Phase in, otherwise you wouldn’t be a match for me.” Her soothing voice sounded indifferent as she stated.

The strength of the princess was certainly impressive, but David didn’t place any mind to it. He was most impressed by the sword of the Amazon princess. The sword was just too sharp, tearing through the air and against his already tempered skin that was said to be impervious to any sword and knives.

But the princess’s sword seem to not be an ordinary one.

“While I would love to stay here and entertain you princess, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be enough time for that.” The wound on his shoulder rapidly closed and his blood seem to have sentience within them as it flowed back into his body through the wound.

“Farewell.” David waved his hands and turned to leave.
