The Gene Gamer

Chapter 22: Double Breakthrough

The two sides fought with each other having the same power neither having the ability to overpower the other. The tables have turned fifty-fifty. The foreign energies caused great pain to the bird as it repeatedly screeched piercingly. All birds and humans have fleed from the radius of the fight.

Even the highly skilled individuals had fleed, Daris, Haler, and Fanton no exception. A battle between three top tiers is scary anyone not careful enough would die just from the backlash alone. After Garen had recovered, he immediately joined the battle resulting in an equal fight.

But it would only be just a matter of time as the vitality of the bird was continuously draining, making the bird's resistance weaker and weaker by the minute.

After half an hour of tussling the bird finally gave its final cry, creating a shockwave that affected the whole area. Weaker people and birds died, leaving only the elites alive. With the ending of the screech a carcass was revealed, a huge carcass but the strange thing was that it was out of shape, the meat was almost non-existent reveling a bag of bones.

The whole carcass was covered in ice with a bright green aura radiating in the chest making it an exotic beauty. Tiny flames danced inside the ice burning the skin burning it into nothing. Three kids sat on the frozen carcass gasping for breath, their complexion was pale and their eyes showed tiredness, drained of energy.

There also seemed to be some sort of aura near them that looked illusionary.

They looked dull but deep within them, a tinge of joy could be felt. Even though they were tired they didn't dare to rest for long anyone could kill and snatch their prized gene. They had specifically left out the healing gene and if not for it they would've killed the bird much sooner.

A burly kid moved first arriving at the chest before bright red flames were spitting out of his hands. The flames melted the ice with much effort and burnt the skin and bones near the green radiation.

The kid picked out the green stone that was radiating the aura, smiling he threw it to the black haired kid carefully before collapsing.

The black haired kid caught the stone and after looking for a few moments also threw it to the white haired kid. The kid caught it and threw a capsule to the burly kid. With much difficulty, the burly kid caught it and drank it. Immediately bits of wounds on him healed, following the boy the other two also got out capsules of their own and drank it.

Injuries healed and the previous auras of them appeared again. The auras of them were even more powerful than before with energy sufficient enough for people to feel fear. Cylius looked at Fanton, knowing what he should do he nodded his head and sealed the burnt hole that was used to get out the gene.

Although the meat was useless they didn't suck out the energy of the bones and they could be used to exchange points as they were tough and durable. As Cylius looked around he noticed that people stayed off from them, while the battle here had almost finished.

The first-tier birds had all died, carcasses of birds and humans were around but human carcasses were extremely few compared to the bird. He walked to the windows where he could see the battle outside. The few remaining birds that have gotten in his way all fell to the ground, dead during the fight with the big bird he had analyzed the whole body structure of the bird carefully.

He found the weak spots and if he were to fight with the same race he could kill it much more easily. With his advanced energy, weak yellow snake birds were nothing to him, just a small amount of energy would suffice.

Due to the unusual deaths of the birds, birds, and people alike had all avoided him until he reached the window. There he could see a large carcass of the bird floating in the air, this mission was truly simple he would say. In a short span of three hours, they annihilated all the birds and the mission would end soon.

Even in death, the bird was majestic seeing it would make one feel inferior, large amounts of lifeforce were still preserved in its body even in death. When it tried to dissipate a barrier of sorts kept it in the body possibly due to the almighty superior. From the ten adults, he only saw seven right now which meant that three of them died or were transferred to the ship.

He saw each of the seven adults all of them of great strength.

But when his gaze fell on one of them he felt great fear, previously he wasn't able to see it because the person had contained it but now that the person let it free it was shocking.

Great amounts of thunder energy gathered around him, isolating the space around him. It even made space twisted just looking at him made his mind go blank.

Loud booms of thunder sounded in his ear as his gaze fell on to the eyes of the person he felt great tiredness and sourness all around his body. The person also looked at him small runes of thunder appeared in his eyes and his yin energy automatically came out in front of him to protect him.

It was of no use all of them collapsed in a second and his painstakingly recovered energy was drained. He immediately turned his eyes away and fell into knees. He huffed heavily when the sound of thunder reverberated through space and without him knowing a capsule had appeared in front of him.

It was floating and a purple liquid squirmed around it. From it, he felt large amounts of vitality exuded even though the glass container of it sealed most of it within it. A thunder was evident beneath it, it was obviously from the thunder elder's.

Now he knew what to do, to drink he didn't know if it was good or bad but if he didn't drink it he would be offending the elder and he guessed him to be a third-tier genetician. Such a being could kill him immediately if he was displeased so he had no way other than to drink.

He picked up the capsule and opened its seal with the remaining amount of energy he had.

He drank the capsule with shaking hands. As soon as it entered his whole body was ok once again in a mere moment.

The liquid dissipated as soon as it entered but his energy was replenished in a moment, once again it made his body back to normal and it even strengthened his compatibility with the yin energy.

His energy recovered and furthermore it even made a breakthrough. He exactly knew what was happening but as soon as the yin made a breakthrough the liquid stopped working. He felt incredible, and he looked at the thunder elder and bowed deeply.

Even though he was the source of his pain he paid it back and now he even made a breakthrough.
