Chapter 271: Ultimate Attack

"Forbidden art: Phantom Beast Staff...Attack!"

The middle-aged man suddenly beat heavily at his chest, coughing out a mouthful of dark red. 

The dark red blood merged with the cupious amount of mist that rolled out a moment ago which then roiled about like a stubborn mist and then transformed into a massive two meter tall humanoid hound with two massive horn on its head, howling to the skies. 

In its hand was a huge staff. The staff was two meter long and shockingly covered with numerous spikes all of which was shining with a sharp glint. 

The second elder resumed a stance as though he was also holding a staff in its hands raised his hand up in the air. The illusory image of the humanoid hound mirrored his actions. 

Instantly, the second elder smashed his hand downwards and without delay, the huge humanoid creature also smashed his huge staff down in attempt to crush everything in its way. 

Using this Forbidden art caused the second elder to drop to the ground in weakness and was only able to support himself with a nearby tree. His face was incredibly pale andoat of his hair had turned white at this point. 

"Die!" he growled like a beast and the phantom beast behind him gave off the same growl as it smashed its staff at David.

The ground cracked from the pressure and a crevice stretched all the way towards him as the staff rose up to high up to the air and then smacked down towards him. 

An unprecedented feeling of death arose from within David's heart. It couldn't be any clearer than it had been and David immediately recognised this feeling. 

That feeling of helplessness which absolutely loathed ever since the first time he had experienced it. 

It was something he had sworn to himself never to feel but, looking at the situation he was in right now, he was only a few seconds from really dying. 

David's heart trembled violently and his pupils constricted. He didn't want to die yet and was in fact afraid of dying. 

Unfortunately, there wasn't any blood energy left to heal his wounds and his vampiric self heal ability wasn't so heaven defying as to heal his wounds with energy coming out of no where. 

Time seem to paused for a moment and suddenly, an inexplicable anger surged from deep within his chest like a violent tornado. 

It was like a chained down beast struggling violently, letting out a loud thundering roar,with David's chest reverberating with a muffled sound. 

But the beast within was unable to emerge as it struggled violently within him. It was as though something powerful was holding it down. 

If one were to look in side David, one would see a fierce struggling beast chained down by numerous blood chains covered with runes and patterns. The chains were in form of a helix shape, just like a one's DNA.

David's eyes flashed from red to gold and muffled roars began to escape his lips. 

"Snap!"

Suddenly, there was a snap as one of the chains broke. Then another snap, and wnother snap. In the blink of an eye, the blood chains weakened as their strength was been used to heal David, unable to hold down the beast, eventually letting free.

"Howl!!!"

A shocking howl reverberated from David's chest, a dark coloured mane covered his head like a beast as a dark coloured fur covered his entire body. 

His nose grew a few inches longer and rows of sharp teeth jutted out from his mouth. 

His muscles inflated to an astonishing degree but as the transformation was happening, David hurriedly crossed his hands in an x shaped manner. At some point during his transformation, they had been put back to place and although not healed, he was able to move them. 

While simultaneously, he crushed a handful of buttons, making several blue forcefields superimpose on themselves, appearing in front of him to protect him. 

But it was barely enough. The large staff tore through the blue force fields like paper and then smashed onto David's crossed shape hands. 

A deafening boom rang out and the staff began to vibrate violently and then shatter into multiple pieces. 

And as for David's transformation, they instantly reverted back into his body an was like a normal human now. 

"That's impossible!" The second elder shook aggressively and he coughed out abother mouthful of blood as he gazed at David with incredulous eyes. 

He had already been weakened by the forbidden technique and now that it had been forcefully broken, it took an even more roll on his body, like a backlash of some sort. 

"What... What was that?" he struggled to point at David with trembling hands. Previously, he had thought David was only a double-gene Phaser but with what he had seen, it appeares that this kid has a very terrifying secrets.

Being able to call forth an entirely different map of gene? It was unheared off which was why the second elder refused to believe what he had just witnessed. And that specific gene was strong enough to receive his ultimate attack, he could hardly believe it. 

"Multi-Gene!" David growled in response to the middle-aged man's words. Blood oozed out of his mouth, body and pores. His hands was a mangled mess and white bone fragments could be seen jutting out from within his skin. 

He swayed from left it right and eventually flopped to the ground in a sitting motion. His legs were no longer able rto support him. 

He could only chuckle bitterly at his situation. With the incredible sense over his body, he could feel something slipping away from with him. 

Although he couldn't explain what it was, he somehow knew it was his life force. 

"At least, I have tried my best." David muttered. He thought of summonimg his axe but there was no way he could hold it. In fact, he had dropped his bagpack somewhere else because he didn't want to lose anything and has hidden it safe. 

There was no way, Hazel would be able to establish a connection from the distance.
