Multi-Gene

From the way it walked, it was as though it was catwalking. Which meant the figure was female.

David\'s eyes began to close softly, but he struggled to keep them open, also struggling to stand up on his feet, but it proved to be a difficult task for him.

The figure\'s step was slow as she walked towards him. All of a sudden, there was a faint flash of light, and the figure of David that was kneeling on the floor flickered like broken tape. The same also happened to the figure of the lady walking softly towards him.

Another figure of David could be seen placing his claws on the head of a beautiful young woman that had been standing undetected behind him this whole time. He had moved so fast he seem to have defiled time. And from the cuts on his skin, speed like that had its repercussions.

Blood, fluids and brain matter spilt out from his fingers, flowing and dripping down from his elbows.

David coldly looked into the eyes of the woman and realised it was also an undead but this one had fluid in it.

Crack!

The skull cracked as David pressed his claws even more tightly.

Hu!

David staggered backwards and dropped in sync together with the finally dead undead. He glanced at the hole on his chest that was now closing up.

Luckily, he had managed to sense the danger, shifting his heart slightly to the right, avoiding it being punctured. David didn\'t let his guard down. He glanced t every corner of the Palace with his eyes.

The entire place was vibrating with the same frequency as that been emitted from the dead body of a woman, which is why had been unable to sense the undead. It was as though it had turned the entire place into a domain of its own.

But manipulating the frequency of all the objects, and the stones will the pieces of jewellery and other things were impossible, and or would take an unlimited amount of time to change, so I but this corpse had managed it. It was as though it was preparing for a day like this. Setting up its traps in advance, waiting for someone like David to step inside.

Other people would most certainly have died, but with his ability to control his body as he wished, including his organs, and his ability to sense danger more effectively, he had managed to escape being gravely injured and even dead.

In the end, he was still too weak. He might have actually died here if he hadn\'t been careful. If he was in the Integrated Phase, his senses would be heightened by more than five times, depending on how strong his genes were.

"Hmph!" David grunted, the hole on his chest that has healed seemed to have been forced back open by some strange force.

David sat cross-legged on the ground. He watched as the wound healed, but a sinister wave of energy erupted, making the wound even worse as it healed. This made David frown slightly. The undead having its own energy even after being dead for quite a long while was slightly surprising to David.

Closing his eyes, his muscles reverberated, humming as they oscillated in different frequencies, humming loudly and then buzzing softly.

Roughly after ten minutes, David spat out a pool of black blood. Simultaneously, the blood he had spilled on the ground seemed to have grown sentient as they flowed through the ground towards him, crawling back inside his body.

He glanced at the body of the lady, and sensed blood within the body of the lady. Although not much, the blood of an Atman realm, was something David longed to try.

He grabbed the corpse by the neck, and tracing his finger along her pale skin, he stopped when it got to her heart.

His ginger morphed into a claw and sank silently into the body of the lady. As he withdrew his finger, the heart of a human was within his palm.

David\'s eyes flashed in joy. He had sensed truly. She truly had blood in her body. David dropped the body with a thud and slashed the heart with his index finger.

There, right at the left ventricular tube, what seem to be five to six drops of coagulated blood were sitting right there.

David carefully scooped the blood with a test tube, there was still a drop left, to which David stretched out his tongue to lick.

His eyes automatically closed and in a spectator\'s point of view, David\'s energy level was climbing incredibly high and in the blink of an eye, he broke through to Level Six of his vampire body in the blink of an eye.

That wasn\'t all, an loud howl reverberated within his body as the werewolf body seem to have been provoked. Another wave of energy surged. David\'s body trembled incredibly and jolted upwards as though he had been hit by the ground.

Rumble!

His werewolf body violently broke through, unlike the ease at which the vampire body had broken through this was even more violent.

This was a pleasant surprise for David. The werewolf in him sure didn\'t like to lose out. David chuckled slightly.

His eyes glowed a mixture of crimson and gold colour, illuminating the surroundings with his gene glow. He was now at the Hex-gene Phase and with just a bit more experience, he might be able to reach the Integrated Phaser Stage before he left this place.

He glanced at the tube which contained the coagulated blood within. He could feel the blood brimming with blood energy, his urge to feed on blood had never been this strong.

His canines elongated and his eye started glowing crimson. It was as though his vampire side wouldn\'t rest until he drank every bit of the blood. Why would David resist?

Most especially, he could use this opportunity to practice the Ancient-strengthening Technique now that he had powerful blood at hand.

With this, he could advance the technique to the Fifth stage, strengthing his body and Physique. He was hoping he could reach the highest level before he left this place, but that would be impossible since the damage done to his body by then would be too devastating for an Atman Stage blood to repair.

The blood running through his veins and pumped rapidly by his heart, flowing through his body like a waterfall.

His muscles vibrated, buzzing through the atmosphere like guiter stings plucked repeatedly. Davod was about to start practicing the body strengthening technique when he was interrupted by a sudden sound.

Kacha!

The large Palace doors opened and a figure walked in cautiously. Their eyes brimming a greenish colour as they walked forwards.

"David?"

David stood up as he recognised who the person was. "Yeah it\'s me."

David turned to face Teela, and looking behind her, his face covered with confusion. "Where are the rest of the team? Gardorf and the young master."

Teela sighed in relief but then shrugged. "I have no idea. The minute we stepped into the door, I couldn\'t find any of you, I was alone, transported to some palace prison of sort. Faced an Atman Realm undead, and luckily, it was a relatively weak one. So I exited the door and walked in again looking for you guys, you and then I\'m here."

David nodded his head in realisation, and he wasn\'t the only one who had been transported to a different place, it seemed the rest of the team also had the same experience.

"Why don\'t we wait outside for the rest. It seems once we defeat the undead within the prison, the doors would be automatically unlocked."

"Great idea, let\'s go with that." Teela nodded her head, but as her eyes swept past the large throne, her motion suddenly paused and she rapidly vanished from her position.

In the next moment, she arrived before the large rock with written words on it. Stretching her hands, she grabbed at it.

But it appeared she had been too slow. David grabbed at the tablet and then placed it within his storage ring.

"I hope you don\'t mind." David asked politely while staring straight at Teela.

Their bodies were very close to each other, just a few inches from one another.

There was a sudden silence between them that went on for about a second. But for them, a second was more than enough time to pull some tricks.

"No, of course not. You killed the undead, you get to keep the reward." Teela smiled, backing off, she started began walking towards the door.

"We can go now right?"

"Yeah." Placing the Atman Stage body within his storage ring, David followed behind her, exiting the prison and they once again arrived at the passage with four doors before them.

David sat down in meditation as they waited. "Should we try the other doors."

"I don\'t think that\'s a good idea. The first door wasn\'t too easy, who knows if the difficulty would increase each door. I say we wait for the young master to arrive, then he will decide if we should head in or not." Although David rejected her plan, he really wanted to try the other doors, but since he needed the help of the young master, he would have to do whats best for them.
