Multi-Gene

Chapter 107 - Another Ability

Fleeting through the trees, David advanced towards the direction the Land Sharks had come from.

The night time was coming and he needed to rest in a suitable place. He could guess that there was some sort of den or cave that the land sharks had gathered to stay at.

That was exactly where he was headed.

Then he frowned. The muscles in his body was giving off a weird undulations that he couldn't comprehend.

It was a frequency he had neve seen nor heard and neither had he practiced it before.

He skidded into a stop and he closed his eyes to examine his body.

The undulations were extremely tiny and fleeting as though it was about to fade anytime soon.

If it weren't for his ability to control his body and muscles perfectly, he wouldn't even notice. David could even swear that a Phaser would never notice such undulations even if they looked for it everywhere in their body.

Closing his eyes, he first observed the undulations and then he controlled his muscles to keep oscillating according to the undulations.

He kept increasing the frequency until hsi muscles started to hum a soft soft sound.

It was extremelt small and was like the buzz of a mosquito.

All of a sudden, David felt the ground beneath his feet gave out.

His eyes opened wide in shock. As he shouted in his head 'F*ck!'

His body instantly sank into the sand and his figure vanished from view.

Only the sounds of ants and the rustling of the decayed leaves remained preeminent.

Suddenly the ground parted and a hand could be seen emerging from the ground.

If a student of the institute notice this scene, it was unknown what he or she would do. Either to faint from fear or run, shouting for help.

David raised his body from deep within the earth as he coughed out sand and spit.

He had thought he had been attacked but it seems he was the one who had done himself in.

According to his speculations, he had gained another ability.

David was stunned for a while. Gaining an ability was incredibly rare and emwas only possible when one becomes a Phaser as those people deal with genetic abilities and gene modifications.

It was known that directly absorbing a genome, although a had the ability to rapidly heal any injury and increases one strength, it was also harmful to the body as a few toxins within the genome would begin to accumulate.

But people still use this process all the time, why?

It wasn't because they wished to increase their strength, there were numerous serums out there that could assist one in doing that.

And it also wasn't for healing injuries. Soaking in the energy tank for a while is a lot cheaper and better than that.

They absorb it because of the 0.1 chance to attain the abilityin the genome the beast had while it ahd been alive.

After absorbing the genome, the genes in the body tends to imitate the good parts of the genome which in most cases, the ability the genome developed.

Although, it rarely succeeded, but those who had been lucky to gain abilities then to turn into mighty figure than countless people could rely on.

So, the fact that he had unknowingly gained an ability was strange to him. He hadn't even put that thought in mind as he had thought it was impossible for it to happen but who knew he would be pleasantly surprised.

He had unknowingly gained an ability, if others knew about this, they would turn incredibly jealous that their heads would want to come off.

"It was worth the pain I've suffered." David beamed as he continued on his way.

Earth Swim.

An ability that make the muscles around the body release rma unique undulation that seem to scatter the genetic structure of sand and rocks at the molecular level.

But it was just that the stamina consumed was just too terrifying.

Just the two second usage he had smactivayed the ability, it has used up 20 percent of his stamina which means he could only use it for a maximum of 10 seconds and If he pushed himself hard, he could increase the duration by 5 seconds more.

David smiled widely at his luck. And he resumed his journey, his figure disappeared.

On his way there , he met a few Land Sharks that had strayed from the pursuit or had been to flow to follow the herd.

It was a massacre as he slaughtered every Land Sharks he met on the way.

It appeared as though he had been tramatized by the experience and was taking it out on the remaining beasts.

A few minutes later, David arrived at a cave entrance. The entrance was extremely dark like the Abssy, devoid of any light

There wasn't the sign of any beast present in the surrounding area

The cave's entrance was shaped like the yawning mouth of a beast.

As David neared the entrance, he felt like puking his guts out. The smell coming out of the cave was absolutely disgusting.

A few meters away, David spotted a few droppings that he could guess was from the Land Sharks, at first, he didn't know what they were as the pile of mud like things didn't stand out.

But when he got closer, he was almost terrfied.

It took David quite a bit of bravely to decisively enter the cave's entrance it as just that dark.

Luckily, he had an holographic system with him at all times. Although still puzzled about where the system gets its energy from, that wasn't his business anyways.

The system gains energy by converting sound energy into electrical energy through special methods.

And the sound energy comes from the heartbeat of each Spryher. As long as on wasn't dead, the system would forever be in operation.

It could even be said that the system never lacks energy and it's half life would never dwindle as long as its host remains alive.

"Hazel, switch on the emergency lights.." David spoke softly.
