136: Love? Lust? Need?

Love? Lust? Need?

Ghastra was immediately sent flying with disbelief written all over his face and black blood spraying about the forest. 2

"Cou-cough cough, this is im-impossible!" black blood flowed from his chest and his mouth. The incredulity in his tone apparent. 

He still couldn't believe he would die like this. He still had many things he hadn't done yet, Many lives to take to avenge himself moreover, he was just at the point of breaking through to the next stage after which, he would have the strength to resist the institute to some degree but he would have never thought his life would end this early.

The hard fur in his body was extremely resilient and he figured he would be able to shrug off the attack. 

But his chest had exploded, destroying the resilient fur which he had placed his hopes on and had been proud of, exposing his organs to the outside world. 

His uppermost part of his heart had been destroyed by the force and the rib bones which was located at his chest had exploded into pieces whose fragments are currently embedded deep with the heart. 

It was impossible for anyone to succeed such fatal injury. 

The fear of death and the hatred instilled deep within him filled Ghastra's face as more and more blood gushed out from his heart like a water cannon, rendering his complexion completely pale. 

Even when he died, the resentment his eyes held was still chilling to the bones. 

David breathed roughly, not waiting for a single second, he instantly stomped his foot forcefully, circulating his blood to its limit, his blood roared like the engine of a sport's car and his figure moved. 

Speedily, he had covered the distance of a few hundred meters. But what he saw instantly slowed him down. 

Lyster was sitting on a large tree branch, nonchalantly chewing softly on some tasty meat which she had gotten from somewhere as she indifferently glanced at David coming from a few distance away. 

David's running turned into a jog and finally, he stopped a few meters away from her, squinting his eyes as he stared at the scene In front of him. 

Blood littered the floor with the dead bodies of the four Mutants that had been splitted in half which was at a distance. 

The smell of death clung to air like a viper, making David slightly uncomfortable with its smell but Phyllida sat comfortably there as though she had been used to such smell. 

Even chewing on some fried fresh meat she had gotten from god know where. 

David glanced upwards at Lyster with worry in his eyes, "Are you hurt? How is your arm?" David walked closer to the tree attempting to take hold of her bloodied arm 

Jumping down from the three meter tall tree. Lyster responded with her usual cold tone. "I'm alright." Then her cold eyes swept his body as though she was looking for something. 

Seeing this, David flexed his arms with a smile creeping up his face "Although that guy was hard to deal with, he isn't my match. I am fine." Then he walked closer towards her, attempting to take hold of her arm to inspect the injury. 

As soon as he touched her, Lyster's body suddenly stiffened, allowing David to see the wound on her arm. It was just a scratch but as a Spryher, an ordinary scratch would produce almost ten time the amount of blood because of their forceful blood circulation. 

David blew softly on the two scratch marks on her arm, attempting to clog them to prevent further blood loss.

She could feel David's breath on her skin, tickling every part of her body which suddenly appeared very sensitive in this moment, Lyster grounded her teeth to resist the pleasure.

Her eyes involuntarily closed and an odd sound managed to escape her lips as her body shivered uncontrollably. 

David's body froze when he touched her soft skin. It was very soft to the touch, almost boneless and the skin that was not covered in blood was an irresistible milky white fresh skin. 

He could smell her fragrance tickling his nose and his throat bubbled as he swallowed hard. His eyes appeared dazed in that instant. 

His breathing suddenly increased as he raised his head slowly, and stared deeply into her glossy eyes which was also staring at him with some type of emotion. Slowly but surely, his body moved closer to her as they could almost feel each others breath. 

The atmosphere tensed and the murderous waves in the surroundings was immediately transformed into something entirely different. Love? Lust? Or was it need? 

But in the next second her eyes turned cold in an instant and in that moment, she instantly raised her right leg, sweeping towards David with the force of a sledge hammer weighing a ton. 

It was as if David had predicted this outcome, he was quick in responding. He instantly crossed his bronze coloured arms to block the attack. 

Bang! 

His figure was instantly sent skidding three meters away with his leg drawing two deep straight lines on the floor. 

Her strike had been quick, fast and accurate. And even with David's five fold strength still activated, he had no choice but to be sent skidding backwards with that force. 

Even though he was sure she wouldn't hurt him, he was still cautions of his surroundings which was why he was still circulating Five-fold strength softly. 

Lyster's eyes was cold. Infact, it was filled with killing intent which David could and only responded with a grin. 

Lyster didn't follow up with any attack though, and with a cold huff which David found was cute, she turned hurriedly retracted her gaze from him as she turned around to leave. 

"Wait!" David hurriedly called out to her before she left. 

Her body paused slightly as she glanced at David with the corner of her eyes. 

"You could have easily dealt with them, with this level of strength, why were you still injured." This part confused David as he questioned her. 

She didn't say anything for a few seconds. It was as though the question David asked was a very difficult one to answer.
