Multi-Gene

After a few moments, David finally asked the question Nix had wanted to hear. "Why are you telling me all these?"

Nix laughed uncontrollably and a sinister light shone In her eyes. "I really don't know what to think of you. I most admit, you are very strong, but obviously, you're just too naive for your own good."

David face remained passive "And what do you mean by that."

Nix smiled as she responded. "For you to stop moving forward exactly at that point, means you must have sensed some sort of threat which was why you refused to come any closer. I'm i right?" she clocked her eyebrows cutely.

David remained unresponsive and his gaze remained expressionless.

This made Nix frowned slightly and she began to develop a bad feeling, which she quenched immediately. As long as one reaches the one meter radius from the thermal seeking mine, it would automatically lock on to the thermal signature and signs.

And if that same thermal signature changes slightly, the mine would instantly explode. It doesn't matter how little the change was, even the changes in heart beat rate could change one's thermal signature which would automatically trigger the mine and explode without warning.

The explosion from the mine could explode a small cabin into smitterings. Although Nix had ensure she was in a safe distance away from David and the mine, she was still slightly fearful of it.

That was how dangerous David's situation was.

David turned his gaze away from the girl and swept the area before him. Suddenly, his gaze focused on an area a bit more than half a meter before him. A slight budge could be seen on the surface of the earth. Covered with lots of brown coloured radiation infected leaves.

It was extremely inconspicuous that David only noticed it when he swept his gaze through every inch of the ground.

The concealment technique was just too great.

And this made David frown. If he was truly had been the same person he was three days ago, he might have died from her hands with this technique.

But sadly, he wasn't the same person as he was which means, all this wad no different from trash in his eyes.

"If you had met me a few days ago, this little trick of your might have worked and I might have died in your hands. But it's a pity you met the me now." David said calmly as he shook his head as though it was truly a loss for her.

Nix's expression changed and the bad feeling she had repressed suddenly increased. Suddenly, she recognised the look on David's face. It was the disdain which anyone at the edge of death shouldn't have. Her face turned slightly pale and she sneered "Do you think you will be able to escape before the Mine explodes?"

David only glanced at her calmly and he casually whispered.

"Fifth Star."

There was no rumble, neither was there any sound. But strangely enough, David's figure before Nix began to vanish like a non existent picture. It was as though he was an image of the past. As if he was never there to begin with.

It was like a character in a painting that was being erased by the creator. But as a third of the image was being erased, the surrounding image was shredded into multiple pieces.

"BOOM!!!"

A massive explosion took place, ripping apart everything in a 50 meters wide radius, sending sand, rocks and broken pieces of trees all over.

Nix and the rest of her team squinted covered their eyes and ears from the sound and the bright light resulting from the explosion.

It was a bit weird as the explosion within a 50 metered radius, without even going further to damage anything.

A few moments after the explosion had died down, Fauce asked with a puzzled expression "Don't you think that's a little too much."

Nix's gaze stayed at the explosion site where a 50 meters radius wide hole could now be vaguely seen through the smoke and dust.

"I never underestimate my enemy." Nix said with a narrowed eyes.

"But still, using a the heat sensitivity mine is rather overkill." Fauce managed to whisper before he reluctantly kept quiet under Nix's glare.

"Phire." Nix tilted her head to the side as she gazed at one of the girls behind her.

"Go and inspect the aftermath if the explosion and report every details to me."

"Alright." the girl named Phire answered positively and she immediately moved to check It out.

"Alvin, hope you ain't asleep? Continue surveying our surroundings while the rest of you get into position. We move out when Phire gets back to formation." Nix commanded.

"Sure miss." The rest of the team responded. Although most of the time, the young mid likes to fool around and give command to Fauce, she was the true captain of her team.

"Eh?" Alvin suddenly turned pale as he struggled to talk.

Nix stared at Alvin who was beside her with a serious expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Nix was getting a little anxious as David's arrogant smirk flashed in her mind from time to time.

"T_th_the life signature is still active." Alvin managed to squeeze the words out from his mouth.

Nix felt her brain go blank. And the first thing that came to her mind was impossible. It's was simply impossible to escape from the explosion.

Even a phase who doesn't have a speed base gene would be unable to escape that explosion.

Frantically turning her focus back at Alvin. "Where is the location of the life signature?"

"B_behind us." Alvin whispered.

"That's impossible." Nix finally muttered.

"Nothing is impossible." A lazy voice casually said from behind them.

Nix stiffened up and without hesitation, she swiftly reached for her pocket, suddenly crushing a grey glass cube that was hidden inside it, not minding the pain from the broken glasses inflicting on her palm, while Fauce and the rest of the team turned pale.

Nix turned around slowly and with a weird laugh, she replied "I thought you already died."

Leaning on a large rock almost t three meter tall, a 2 and a half meters tall young man could be seen folding his arms giving off a gentle impression.

But the waves and the air of savageness around him immediately crushed the image. He was like a bronze statue as he stood by beside the rock. Multiple blood vein patterns on his body, forming the word 'BLOOD' on his chest.

His breathing rumbled like bull's, stirring up sand and dust. But strangely, some kind of force made everything silent.

"Do not, I won't die before you do." David's voice rumbled in the the from the rock.

"You should be honoured to witness my full strength but sadly, I intend to keep it a secret, so you must die."

David casually said as he blasted the rock behind him apart. A scream could be heard from the distance. After which, no sound could be heard.

Someone had been there watching them the whole time.

David didn't even glance at that direction but he stared down at the people below him.

"Oh, that goes for you guys too." immediately David said that, Nix immediately shouted.

"Attack with your strongest moves immediately!"

The five people, Fauce included and Nix excluded immediately dashed at David from all directions using different motion techniques with a strange battle formation.

David burst out into laugher "Meaningless struggle." his bronze coloured face turned expressionless and his eyes gave out a sneer of disdain and in that moment, he mined and Im the next second, he had appeared before Fauce.

Fauce wasn't intimidates and immediately shouted "Form on me." The rest of the team instantly flashed to the side, but by then, it was already too late.

Like a phantom, David had already moved behind Fauce, on his hands was a strange black blood dripping done his fingers. His hand was clutching a strange organ that had three large tubes by its sides and numerous tiny tubes attached to it.

The organ was beating, just like the heart of a normal human being but what was strange was the small and large tubes that were attached to it were moving as though they were really alive.

Behind David, Fauce who had just shouted ws immediately silenced and he glanced at the hole next to his heart with a blank expression.

He immediately fell to the ground. Even after he had died, he didn't even how he died.

"Fauce!!!" the remaining four people shouted in disbelief and in anger and they irrationally pounced at David with different techniques.

"Flux Blast!"

"Heart killer!"

David chuckled softly, licking his dried up Lips he dropped the struggling organ to the floor with a thump as he gazed at the remaining people with a weird hunger in his eyes.

"Your turn."

It was a massacre. David speed was just too fast and his attaches were quick and deadly.. It was basically a one hit kill.
