Multi-Gene

The air behind him exploded as David vanished from his previous position, appearing in the air, right on top of the Fire-giant’s head.

His hands interlocked as they slammed heavily at the skull of the fire giant like an hammer.Â

Boom!

Cloud waves and ripples formed in thin air as heatwaves formed a circular blast from the evaporation of lava in the surrounding area.

The Fire-Giant was quick to react. It had quickly brought its hands upwards to defend its self. Its body sinking a meter downwards into the ground, melting some part of the cave in a just a few seconds.

It’s eyes that seem to contain fire blazed with fury. It’s hand reached out and slapped David out of the air, sending him backwards s he slammed into the hardened concrete of the Palace walls. Making the entire prison tremble in the process.

David coughed, getting rid of the dust he had inhaled. David got out of the home he had been struck in but the Fire giant was before him in that moment.

It immediately punched out towards David’s head as though wanting to make it into meat paste on the wall.

Twsiting his body slightly, he avoided the blow swiftly. Rocks behind him exploded into smithereens, but David was as light as feather, like a flash.he rushed past the attack, using the fist as leverage, he ran up towards the Fire giant.

He twisted his body slightly, shifting all of his force and momentum to his left leg, he struck out like an hammer.

BANG!

The fire giant’s head slammed against the ground, causing a huge quake

Twulisting in mid-air, he seem tl be levitating. He clenched his fist tightly and the glowed a deeo orange colour. The temperature within the cave soared once more.

“Divine Might! “

Adrenaline coarsed through his veins as his strength increased massively. His skin turned a deep shade of red and green, terrifying muscles spamming as his veins bulged, crawling like serpents under his skin additionally, a touch of silver coated his entire body. With that, he instantly punched out at the head still installed into the ground.Â

Boom! Crack!Â

The skull before him split open like watermelon. Lava melted the Brian and its brain juice as it escaped the confinements of its container.Â

David immediately staggered backwards, his silver face flushed even more red as his blood rotation stalled for a fw milliseconds.Â

He fell in one knees, ignoring the lava flowing over hisÂ

His skin flashed silver and then his body returned back to normal as though the abnormal shades of colours on his skin were just a figment of imagination.

David inhaled deeply, bringing back his rapid flow of blood to normal. He opened his eye and stared at the corpse in front of him. This was his first time killing a real Atman Stage expert.Â

Althoigh it’s strength was greatly weakened and couldn’t be considered to be at the true Atman stage yet, it still had the strength of an Atman Stage expert.Â

Which meant that even when he hadn’t phased, his strength was already comparable to a Low Atman Stage expert. David sighed in relief. Although he still needed a large boost from activating his Adrenaline, it was still his strength he had used to defeat the undead and not the strength of his beasts.Â

David’s ears suddenly twitched. The storage ring on his index finger shine brightly as the corpse disappeared.Â

In that moment, the door to the acne squeaked open and an awfully familiar figure walked in.Â

“Oh uoh are done so quick.” Teela raised her eyebrow in surprise, gazing at David, slightly impressed.Â

“You know, there’s a word called privacy out there and you are invading mine.” David’s body was entirely bare, his clothes burnt from the lava.Â

“Relax David, I only came here to help you. It’s not as though I wanted a share of your reward. But it would be nice if you gifted it to me.”

“Forget it.” David downed a new shirt and a short, walking towards plant by the lava pool.Â

“Oh, is that a Crimson Blaze fruit?” Teela said excitedly as she moved very fast, towards the direction of the fruit, going past David.Â

Her hands reached out ignoring the rising temperature of the air around them, she grabbed at the fruit.Â

​ She was just about to pluck it when David’s hand was apparently faster than hers.Â

“I believe this is mine.” He snatched the fruit firm the tree and stored it in within his storage ring.Â

Teela’s eyes flashed. “You are fast, I will give you that. But you should know, the Crimson Blaze fruit losses its potency if stored within a storage ring for far too long.”Â

David pursed his lips slightly. “There’s no need for you to be worried, I will take care of it.” It was a good thing he stored the fruit within his inner world then. He stires most of his important items within his inner world.Â

Teela shrugged carelessly. “Alright, I warned you though. You should consider taking it here before they come.”

David didn’t respon to her and walked out from the cave, sitting in the ground as he waited for the others.Â

“You really don’t want to take it here?”

David opened his eyes and frowned. “No I don’t. What is it to you anyways?”

“It seems you don’t know the ability of the Crimson-Blaze fruit. Once ingested, there’s a possibility one would be granted a fixed Flame genetic strand, automatically fixed to fit tightly on the DNA. The more space your body can contain without breaking down, the more powerful the flame gene would be. Of course you’d have to be able to withstand the Flame without dying.”

“So the more flame I can withstand, the more powerful the flame gene would be.”

Kacha!Â𝚗𝒐𝗏𝓮𝑙𝑵𝚎xt.𝐂𝓞𝓂

“What flame gene?” Rutherford’s voice came out as he walked out from the door, breathing heavily from the Fight he had had before.Â

David remained expressionless seeing as the rest of the group came out.Â

“David got a Crimson Blaze fruit as his reward from the previous cave.”
