Tilting his head in slight mockery as he gazed at David, Nihyuh continued "Now I'm not so sure I can believe his words fully any longer."
When Nihyuh has still been practicing under his father and his clan, whenever things got to the point of bloodlines, they had always warned him to figure out the rank of his opponents bloodline and if it were higher than his, even if it were just a little, he should try his best to retreat.
Tips words had been in his head since he could remember and ever since he had met David, he could vaguely see that David was somewhat special which lead him into thinking David had some sort of hereditary bloodline in him.
Which was one of the reason he had stuck to him till now. And now, he finally had te opportunity to test his father's words and his theories but he was very disappointed.
Although he didn't win the spar with David, he was still a bit disappointed though as he wished to see just how strong David was but it turned out that they were of the same strength.
Shaking his head slightly, Nihyuh was about to stop revolving his blood when he heard David say.
"Uhm. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I only used 70% of my strength." David stated flatly.
Nihyuh was stunned speechless when he heard what David had said. But after a few seconds, he didn't believe it. He replied with his usual expressionless face. "You don't need to feel bothered about it, I've been under intensive training for years and have accumulated much combat experience over the years, that is part of the reason I could hold up to you."
Although his voice was flat, it still sound as though he was comforting. David wanted to smash this bloke head's to the ground. Are you indirectly calling me weak?
He was loss for words but in the next moment, David's figure faded as though it was a smoke. After which, a boom finally sounded out with emergency of a deep footprint on the ground.
Seeing this, Nihyuh's expression changed greatly and he finally realised that David had not been joking at all. He might have really just used 70% of his power.
But as he was about to respond, he saw with the corner of his eyes as a figure turned corporeal by his side.
His face darkened a few notch and he roared, forcefully circulating his blood and pushing his bloodline to the limits, he clawed out at David with his hands.**
The claw was fast and swift, even faster that it had been the previous time but what was surprising was that the five fingers shot off from his arms and they flew towards David with incredible speed.
Air swipe. A very common bloodline technique which is common to the bloodlines that had been gifted Claws within them.
Air swipe forcibly disassemble the genetic structure of the nails, making it very soft and easy to break off but once the user controls a portion of the claw to be shot off, the nails would instantly harden once it left the body and took for the air.
Although its just a basic ability, its good point was that it could be used repeatedly. For example, if one had five inches as a claw and one decided to shoot off one inches in every attack, that means one could attack five times in a row and with the regenerative power in the bloodline, it was so hard to grow the claws back.
The technique was only meant for Phasers that had chosen the gene that they wished to merge with and had successfully merged with the Claw gene at least. But for Spryher to know the common technique of a Phaser, how could anyone still not call this genius?
Even a Phaser had to genetically modify him or herself to reach that level but one with a bloodline that involves the use of claw attacks, can learn the technique or develop the technique under given circumstances.
With how close both of them are, an outsider would definitely think that there was no hope for David to ever evade the Claw attacks that were shooting at him like five bullets.
But although the claw fragments was very fast, it was a pity that David was faster.
His body turned ethereal and after which, another later boom sounded out together with a foot print on the floor.
Nihyuh's face couldn't get any blacker as he muttered in shock "What kind of speed is this?"
He immediately gave up and the Combat waves he had been emitting receded back to his body swiftly. He wasn't a man who doesn't understand the situation he was in.
A few meters away, David chuckled to himself as he thought. What if I told him I had only just truly used 70% of my strength just now together with Three-Fold Step, he light faint from shock.
"Alright, since you have gained w-what is that." David blinked his eyes as he stares into the distance.
Deflated and indifferent "Why ask me? Check it out your self." He was obviously annoyed but his mind still forced him to check what it was.
Turning his head to his back, his blood froze instantly as a huge shadow was casted upon them.
A five meters tall evolved beast rapidly approached both of them with astonishing speed that almost rivalled that if Nihyuhs.
David was slightly stunned as he recognised the beast heading their way. "I-is that not just a chicken?" David couldn't help muttering to himself.
The beast had feathers around its body and was shaped exactly like a chicken. It's body was streamlined with its beak that seem as sharp as sword and a crown on its head which definitely stated that it was a chicken with two legs.
The only thing different about this chicken was that it was incredibly tall and each step seem to shake the ground massively, leaving dust and claw marks in its wake.
But as the Four Winged Chicken got closer to them, David's expression changed drastically and he shouted one word to Nihyuh "Run!"
But David was surprised to see that her was the only one there, Nihyuh was already a few distance away. David couldn't hold back his curse at the traitor.
Revolving his blood, David moved through the tree as he took off in Nihyuh's direction,.
Caw Caw!
Seeing as it's blood tonic had the smartness to run, the Four-Wnged Chicken was angered and it instantly spread a pair of wings and it instantly took to the skies.
David frowned deeply when he saw this. He had already caught up to Nihyuh in this few breaths of time but when he saw the bird take for the skies, he changed directions instantly and was hoping the bird never came for him.
Upon seeing this, Nihyuh almost burst out in a laughing fit. And his expressionless face twitched but he didn't say anything as he also took off.
In his mind, he was about to mock David. The Four-Wnged Chicken needed energy to stabilize its upgrade from high level dark haze to low level Brown daze.
So from this conclusion, it would certainly go for one with a more powerful bloodline and blood energy. And in this case, whose blood line was more powerful between the two of them?
He laughed at David's misfortune but he wasn't aware that David didn't even have any bloodline in him, his Bronze body had been trained, Tempered and developed by him through life and death experiences.
Which means, to the chicken. David was just a useless block of flesh and although his blood was more rigorous, it wasn't better than the quality blood tonic which was Nihyuh.
Nihyuh was immediately horrified to see the Four-Wnged chicken landing a few distance before him.
The beast had just evolved so it's sentience still wasn't much higher than a dark haze beast.
Ca! Caw! Ca!
It let out a cry and it's expression was that of one asking. Thou precious tonic, where hath Thou goeth?
He was confused as the scenario was different from what he had thought but that didn't slow him down at all.
He swiftly reached for a button on his back and pressed something from there. But he pushed the button with a sad expression.
He had never once thought he would need to use this life saving gadget during this event, but still he had been forced to use it.
He did t even bother to fight the beast either. He knew his limit and his power level. He was definitely weaker than a Brown daze beast.
Only a Phaser had the strength to take care of them. And although, he had traces of phasers within him, he still hadn't ungraded to a phaser yet as the power between a phaser and a Spryher were completely different.
All of a sudden, a man size fully transparent barrier formed in front of him and sounds of machinery arranging, echoed in the distance.
