Chapter 264: The Pursuit

Having a bad feeling about it, David grabbed his backpack, left the room and exit the guest room.

He wasn't going to risk staying in that room. Who knows of they had the means of tracking him down.

With that, David turned to a dark alley within the streets.

He checked around and when he was sure there wasn't anyone in the alley with him, he activated his Sky walker and took for the skies.

The more distance he pit between he and his pursuers, the better.

According to his observations, those older couples were quite strong and should be an elder of some clan or something. He just wasn't too clear of their strength levels.

A few minutes later, he was out of the city. David didn't dare fly too high.

He was well aware that dangerous beasts took the skies as their own personal parasols.

Not knowing if it was true or not, he didn't want to try either. He flew at a more suitable altitude that even those at the ground wouldn't need to scrutinise the clouds too much before they saw him.

But it was currently late at night, his silhouette was completely hidden.

He had just exited from the huge walls of the city and continued to flee above the forest when he saw a figure leapt out from with the dense forest into the skies with wings that looked very much like an eagle's.

"Sh*t!" David's face turned sour in an instant because as he spotted the figure, the lady also spotted him almost instantly.

The night skies did nothing to hinder her vision. Her eyes glowed darkly in the darkness which showed she had activated some genetic ability, to see in the dark.

Her eyes narrowed even further when she recognised David and her brows furrowed.

"Wasn't he just an amateur hunter? How could he afford to buy a skywalker?" The lady mumbled in confusion.

"Need to get out of here fast!"David didn't wait to respond to her words, he swot he'd his body's position and turned towards the opposite direction.

With hesitation, he activated the double power maximum output of the thrusters.

"Boom!"

Intense flames erupted from his feet, propelling him forwards. His body tore through the night sky like blazing meteor.

Seeing this, the lady was put out of her pondering as a thought immediately popped up in her head.

"Screeeee!" A furious and piercing scream erupted from the lady's mouth, visible dense rings of sound waves spread out towards David's direction with the speed of sound.

Although David was moving very fast, his speed wasn't fast enough to beat the speed of sound.

"Boom!"

The dense ring of sound waves slammed into him with a drowning and muffed sound.

The flames ejecting out from his skywalker slowed down immediately after being hit, making his speed drop considerably.

David felt as though he had been shot by a taser. His entire body vibrated and his body turned numb.

David's eyes widened. "Not good!" his body started to fall towards the ground.

Seeing this, the lady let out a dark chuckle and flapped her wings in pursuit.

As he was falling down from the sky to the sense forest below him, the numb sensation he was feeling vanished immediately. It had lasted only a second before his body got used to it.

"Hazel, activate the emergency thrusters immediately." David yelled as he freefall towards the top of the massive trees.

"On it."

The thrusters beneath his feet let out a few mechanical loud noises but was silenced by his swooshing noises of the air.

The thrusters was replaced with a much smaller one but it was enough to the job.

Flames erupted out from his feet and he regained stability. Glancing at the lady behind him, she was almost catching up to him.

David didn't panic. He turned around and blasted the flames towards the opposite direction, moving is body forwards.

The woman was quite fast with her large wings but she wasn't able to catch up with David despite her efforts.

Frustrated, the lady flapped her wings even harder but still, the distance between David and her self was gradually in increasing and at this rate, David would definitely be able to escape from her.

Her eyes shone coldly and she snorted. She had activated her first genetic ability which she got when she merged with her third gene. The Sonic Blast.

"Let's see if you are really going to escape from my clutch." With that, she activated her second genetic ability.

The wings behind her spreaded widely to her sides. They immediately rolled inwardly, forming a large O shape at her two sides.

Suddenly, strange undulations began to spread from her wings as they vibrated and oscillated. The air distorted between the two wing shaped circle.

The fluctuation got bigger and bigger and even David felt it as he was fleeing for his life.

He turned his head slightly back to check what was going on but didn't stop his flight.

He saw that she had stopped and despite the fact that she had also stopped flapping her wings, she stayed in the air as though the gravity wasn't acting upon her.

"What going on?" David got a bad feeling as he watched the strange scene going on.

Not even a second later, David heard the sound of a thunder clap rang out from behind him. It was as though someone had broken the sound barrier for a sound period of time.

Suddenly, David's eyes widened and he watched as the ladies figure in the distance disappeared like she was just an ordinary apparition.

The bad feeling got even stranger and David didn't bother watching anymore, he faced forwards and only focused on escaping.

Only to see the outline of a female figure appear right in from of him.

"An ability!" David cursed between gritted teeth.

The older lady appeared quite pale but her malevolent eyes shone with a sharp sinister nature and a smirk.

"Where do you think you are going boy?" her hands turned into a strange eagle's claw as she reach to grab at David's shoulders.

She didn't intend to kill this boy. She was pretty sure he knows something which was why she opted for capturing him first and Interrogate him thoroughly.

But it was a pity she met with David. The movie g speed of her hands was quite fast and it seem to blur one's vision along with its movements.

The lady had used a technique right off the bat. But David strangely wasn't swayed by it. He saw through the nature of her hands and twisted his body sideways, evading her grab.

With that, he put more pressure on the throttle and accelerated sideways, intending to escape from her grasp.

"Don't even think about escaping!" The woman yelled out in anger. Although she was slightly surprised David could avoid her grab, this made her even more intent in capturing David.

Her hands turned into numerous after images as they slashed towards David.

Sensing the threat of the claws, David didn't dare take it lightly. The claws were very sharp and David wasn't sure his defences would hold up against such sharp claws.

He immediately turned back and responded with his own attack. His skin turned bronze as he let out a bellowing punch towards the claws.

The lady chuckled sinisterly as she said with a snort. "Courting death."

"Scorching Fury!" David activated the technique, expecting intense heat. But there wasn't a single heat, his fist only contained the force and strength in his body.

By the time he realized what was going on, the fist and the claws collided I to each other.

"Boom!" it was as though he had been struck by lightning. His body reverberated and he was sent slamming straight towards the ground like a meteor, his senses incredibly detoriated.

The lady chuckled slightly. She felt David was incredibly naive to take her attacks with his own attack.

She was a Four -gene Phaser. It would be a shame if David could successfully take one of her attack.

The tall trees with the dense Blackdorm forest broke as David slammed into them.

Not waiting a single bit, the lady flapped her wings and followed the trail of David's fall.

It was night and the forest was dark but she was still able to see through the dark somewhat.

Landing on the soft grass, her face immediately turned ugly as she landed at the spot where David was supposed to be.

The outline of his body was clearly imprinted on the grass in the forest but David was nowhere to be found.

"He survived?" She couldn't believe the kid survive her attack.

Her left eyes blinked as she activated her ONI.

Her eyes lit up and a male aged voice rang out in her head. "What happened? I could sense the faint fluctuations of your abilities from over here. Did you meet with a troublesome mutated beast?"

The woman's face darkened even more. Breathing in deeply, she responded. "No, but I think I have met with a suspect."

"Send me your location, I will be right there." The man remained silent for a moment, then his voice turned serious.
