Multi-Gene

Psssh!

The pieces of clothing still hanging around David's skin corroded into Ash.

The inner fluids from the ants was actually no different from a concentrated acid. And as it dropped to the ground. It started to sizzle, corroding the ground into mere particles.

Assuming David's skin wasn't as tempered as it was, he would have certainly melted. But even with his hard skin and muscles, his skin turned slight red like he had rashes, but that was how powerful the inner fluid was. David skin had still reacted to it.

David had used some mental energy to form a sort of forcefield, protecting his eyes and face from the liquid, as for the rest, he had confidence in his skin. That level of corrosion wasn't enough to affect him.

Boom!

The head of the insect that was in his hand shot out like an arrow as it slammed into the incoming insect, breaking its skull in the process while it screamed miserably.

Kiiiiiiiiii!

It was as though David had been possessed, his eyes turned red and excitement filled his face. He didn't bother to flee anymore but instead started killing the Sickle-mouth Ants one after the other.

Bang!

David was forced backwards as the sharp sickle like mouth of one of the insect managed to stab at his waist. The sharp weapon stabbed into him, but it was only able to push through a centimeter into his skin, unable to push any further.

David could feel a stinging pain on his waist, but the blood pumping through his veins made him ignore the pain.

Grabbing the head still lodged in him, David forcefully twisted.

Cr-crack!

Greenish fluid splattered as the head was forcibly yanked from the body of the Sickle mouth ant but David wasn't able to celebrate.

Four insects pounced at him from all direction.

"Fuck off!" he slammed his two fist against their heads, repelling two into the distance, using the momentum, he forcibly leaned backwards, drifting in the process , evading the stab from the other two insect as they flew right above him.

Time seem to pause and David could see the entire under of those insects. There was not a single carapace there and only soft tissue, this was their weak point.

David grinned wildly. While their carapace could withstand his attacks, their underneath were extremely vulnerable.

David's hands morphed into claws and his hands sliced into the body of the two beasts.

It was very easy and the process was smooth. His hands emerged from behind the beasts and they shrieked, widely kicking their blade like claws on David's body, but it was as if two metals were scratching each other.

Clenching his fist, a powerful momentum surged within his palm and the two insect was instantly divided into two parts from their midsection.

BANG!

Green liquid splashed but David was already used to by now, his body bathed in it. Like a crazed man, he continued to kill the insects as though his life depended on it, and he did it with a large grin on his face the whole time.

In just a few seconds, David and been surrounded by more than thirty ants, rushing at him in all directions, while their body's kept piling up around him, forming some sort of barricade.

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!

Rapid sound echoed and David continued to claw into their internal organs from underneath. Since he was well aware of their weak points, it was now basically one hit one kill. He didn't need another hit to kill them.

Time flew by and an hour went by with David still going on a rampage. The Sickle-mouth insect seem unending, moving towards to attack David in a crazed fashion. It was as if they would not rest until they killed him, even after he had killed more than fifty of them, more of them swarmed to him out of no where.

"Keep coming, haha! Keep coming!" David laughed in joy, punching through the mouth of one, his hand moved upwards and he yanked a tiny brain the size of his two fist joined to gather.

Suddenly, as David was killing more and more ant's by the second, he suddenly noticed something as the insects began to withdraw.

David was surprised, but his face revealed a sinister smile. "Where do you think you're going to!? Die for me!" he pursued as he started to attack them of his own volition.

It was then David noticed something after killing two Sickle-Mouth insect. He could feel the vibration beneath his feet. But what he could sense was so faint and indistinct he wondered if he was just imagining it.

Those Ants started to form a circle around David, locking him up in a circle. David frowned.

Things were starting to get weird. David withdrew and waited right at the center of the large circle made by the horde of the insects.

David had a casual expression on his face, grabbing a cloth, he wiped the green liquid way from his face.

Pishh

The cloth started to corrode, but not after David was done using it. David had just brought out a bottle of water when his expression changed slightly.

The ground beneath him exploded violent and he shot upwards to the sky like a meteor. Following him, large seven meters tall Sickle-mouth Ant destroyed the ground and flew upwards following him closely. Its mouth opened wide as it bit at him.

He hadn't even reached three metered in the air, a different orange Shaped Sickle-mouth Ant entered within the range of his divine sense, covering the speed up in just three second, flying with speed even faster than the speed of sound.

Rumble!

David's expression darkened. He was in the air already, if it was a different person, there would be no way for him to change position in mid-air and would only be able to watch as the large orange ant snatched him from the air.

Whoosh!

Seven meters into the air already, the orange beast had already appeared right in front of him.

Just as he was about to be punctured by the two huge sickles by its mouth. David's muscles trembled and his skin vibrated, humming rapidly.

His legs seem to inflate slightly. There was a sudden thump as the air was forcefully compressed. Shockwaves spread out in the air and David's figure instantly shit upwards once more.

Double jump!

The orange beast was to fast, it couldn't change its direction and could only pass by David underneath.

Suddenly, a large blade that was even taller than David himself appeared in his hands. His eyes turned cold and he let go of the blade right on top of the two beasts.

Screech!!!

The instant the blade touched the back of the orange insect, its backbones snapped and it screeched loudly in misery.

The weight pushed it downwards from the air and also hit the red insect at the same time. It also released a few sharp screech and David assumed something had been broken.

With speed even faster than a meteor, the two ants were pressed downwards from the air, no matter how hard and desperate they flapped their wings, they weren't able to escape from their predicament.

In the next moment, the blade slammed them into the ground.

"Boom!"

The earth seem to have been crushed as multiple debris shot out in all direction. Stabbing at the other sickle-mouth ant with intense speed that killed many.

Fragmented sand particles flew all over and David was slammed backwards as a debris the size of his head slammed into his chest.

He crashed into three trees before his momentum faded. He wasn't wounded, but his internal organs were affected.

Cough! Cough!!

David spat out the dust that had entered his mouth and gazed at the direction of the impact. Before him, the dust started to settle.

David was astounded, the two ants had been crushed to pieces. And since they were a both beast belonging the rank Four rankings, their defenses should be very strong, and might even rival Davids.

But the blade had crushed the two insects like they nothing. David couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the blade. If he was able to refine the blade, it would certainly be more powerful than this.

But he shook his head slightly. The blade still had refused to have him as its master. David guessed that it should be due to his poor talent in mental arts otherwise he might have been the owner of a legendary blade by now.

David placed the blade back into his storage ring and then gazed at the remaining insects that were screeching at him violently.

David proceed to ignore them. Since they wouldn't dare attack him, they were afraid. He indifferently took a pud Berry out and munch on it.

"Since you guys are here already you should show your face." David said indifferent.

After a few seconds of no reply, David was beginning to get irritated.. This wasn't the first time people thought they would be able to sneak up on him and honestly, it was getting old.
