The Gene Gamer

Chapter 21: Killing the Bird II

His knife formed a tunnel as his energy was continuosly transferred to the bird. A clear gray energy could be seen going into the bird. The place where it entered immediately paled, but compared to the large bird it was nothing. It wasn't even worth comparing it to a sting.

But by sucking the lifeforce of a powerful being such as his, his energy was growing too. As long as he was able to suck out enough he would have some sort of breakthrough and be able to affect the bird on a larger scale.

While the bird was busy trying to deal with Fanton he would be able to suck out the lifeforce wihout being noticed. He was a parasite, not noticable at the start with no danger to the host. But when the time comes it will be a great threat not to mention seperating from it was very hard. Even if it was seperated the host will still be badly injured.

Lifeforce was an important thing to all living things, losing all of it was equal to losing the source of ones life, ultimately ending dead. Ghosts and such were fake 'living' things without any lifeforce, so they would have to survive by sucking lifeforce out of the originals.

That's why all living things even if they were enemies would team up in order to wipe out fakes. The bird's intelligence was too low to know it, not to mention it has never encountered one due to their rarity.

But no matter how stupid it is it will realize something is wrong if he caught too much attention. In order to prevent it he disabled all of the nerves inside of it. It was a tiring process but with his meticulous use of yin energy, it worked. To disable a nerve it would be first isolating it before sucking the meager amount of lifeforce in it and crushing it completely. Sounding like an easy feat, sure but working on something so little could be tiring and one wrong move would alert the brain.

Once the brain was alerted it would look into the situation, before realizing the threat and eliminating it. His strength wasn't worth comparing to the now crazed bird, he would have to act secretly.

Simultaneously expanding and disabling nerves wasn't an easy task at all previously but with the increased perception it was as easy as drinking water.

In his mind a full 3D plan formed, it was the entire nerve system of the bird. A small amount of red dots were moving around the outer line. Continuos blue dots with blue colors lost their color around the red dots. The red dots were his energy while the blue were the major nerve system parts.

If it was before he wouldn't even be able to dream about having this kind of power, but reality was strange. Just being able to make a full plan of a huge bird in his mind within seconds were an unimaginable feat, maybe even the dwarf elder wouldn't be able to do it.

As long as he had the power he would be able to do everything unlike people who can't control their excessive power.

With little bits of lifeforce entering him, it became a huge torrent. It was at that moment when his energy had some sort of breakthrough resulting in it becoming more darker in color. Its potency were enhanced and if compared to the previous self it would be comparing a sparrow to an eagle.

If the enrgy could suck a drop of lifeforce every second then now it would sucking a whole pond of lifeforce. No matter how he had disabled all the nerves, the bird would eventually notice something different. It wasn't about the pain but rather the inability to control his body and the unresponsiveness of it.

Due to the huge leap in both quality and quantity the space that it had absorbed had expanded, even with the huge body of the bird it would have a significiant portion of it. At least a tenth of it, previously the bird might've been able to ignore the insignificiancy but right now it was no longer insignificiant.

The space where lifeforce was sucked out would be a hindrance to the bird in movement or in fight. Thankfully it was crazed or else it would've really noticed it much sooner. Although it was currently in a crazed mode it wouldn't ignore something so big.

So since the bird was going to notice it sooner or later he would disregard the nerve to absorb the lifeforce out of the bird with full force. Though this would alert the bird immediately this way he could absorb more lifeforce than sucking little and little. Before sucking with full force when the bird had noticed it.

This way he could take the bird in a surprise.

Unleashing all of his energy stored he sucked full force. All of a sudden the gray area increased, if viewn in the 3D plan large amounts scarlet red dots invaded the body as the blue invaded dots continuosly sent amounts of information to the brain. The brain reacted quickly sending in green colored dots to the gray dots.

The green was the healing gene but unfortunately it couldn't even resist the enrgy as it was surrounded and eliminated. Alerted the brain once again sent a wave of green energy but this time it was more bright, the previous one was likely the worst of it more like a leftover.

Now it was sending the main force, the original one. He could of course see why it first sent the leftover, the main would fight the continuos white energy which was the ice energy of Fanton.

With Fanton and him cooperating they had conquered over third of the entire bird. Even with the abnormal powers they had it was the reality, and this is where Garen would come in. With Garen they would be able to conquer half of the entire. With three types of energy wreaking havoc within him the bird would surely not be able to retaliate, not to mention all of them were energy not counterable by the healing gene.

The biggest advantage they had was that the healing gene couldn't counter theirs or else they would really be doomed and only choice they have was to flee. The biggest obstacle was the natural resistance of the bird. If they could just clear this out killing the bird would be easy.

And this is where Farold comes in, being the undecided factor.
