"I knew I shouldn't have accept your request." David growled loudly at Dravin who had retreated into the distance, hiding in some place. But his eyes never left the Phaser in front of him. Although he had dealt with a low level Brown Haze beast, he could be said to be incredibly lucky.

Dravin smiled bitterly "I had never thought they would actually send a Phaser after me."

Although he said that, David wasn't a fool to easily believe his words.1'Like hell I would believe that' David muttered.

Python stared at David seriously. He could feel that David was strong, even more stringer than the guy he had fought before. "This matter is between me and him, I will let you live as long as you mind your own business ams leave immediately." His voice was cold, and it seen to carry some type of weight.

David sneered coldly. "Do you think I'm a fool to believe such words? Moreover, aren't you just arrogant. Come here, I will let you hit me five times, if you break my defence, I will leave here without hesitation." David thumped his chest casually but his voice seem to be implying the he was serious.

At first, Python was stunned, then he realised that he was being mocked. He roared and his scale seem to regain its luster.

His figured swayed gently like the before strike of a Python and with a swishing sound, he pounced at David, slashing his sword at him. In the blink of an eye, his sword was at the tip of David's neck.

David raised his arms immediately, and blocked the attack. His figure was immediately sent flying as he smashed into a tree.

Standing up hurriedly, he saw that his palm was already bleeding, his eyes widened and he gazed at his opponent.

But Python had moved already, he appeared besides David and with a stab, he attempted to pierce through David's defense.

Using his plans, he knocked the sword head sideways and he retreated quickly.

David stared with a frown at his opponent.

"That was unexpected."

Python expression remained cold "Don't worry, I will make your death quick."

David ignored the man's words and he muttered to himself "You are quite weaker than I expected."

Python's face grew cold and he hissed "Bastard, I will show you what true pain is." He roared and he made a dash towards his opponent.

David glanced at the incoming opponent. He circulated the blood in his body fiercely and his skin started to turn bronze his muscles bulged and veins like worms squirmed from his skin.

The rod in his spine that made him look as though his spine had bulged out emitted a few whirling sounds and with a few mechanical clicks, six arms locked on to various parts of his upper body.

Raising up his arms, he directly blocked the sword coming at his head. He instantly swept his legs forwards, attempting to kick back his opponent.

But Python was unexpectedly flexible and with the movement of his waist, he evaded the attack. And raised his elbow up, smashing it down at David's chest. He was both fast and precise.

"Bang!"

David's body shuddered his feet sank a few inches into the sand. But, he was completely fine and even his blood circulation wasn't at all interrupted.

Stretching his arm, David's palm burned and he grabbed at Python's shoulder but Python evaded the attack and with a strange motion technique, he circled around David and kicked at his back, send David stumbling backwards.

David wasn't looking too good, he could guess that although he was very fast and e could even tell how his opponent was moving, he could not just react fast enough to evade or counter attack. He could tell that a Phaser had a high level of reaction time and speed compared to a Spryher. He was just a tiny bit slow.

The two battled hard and fast, David's attack carried immense power and speed but that wasn't enough. Python's reaction speed was way faster than Davids' so he could evade David's attacks as long as he was careful since he didn't dare to let those attacks touch him. He estimated that David's attack was even stronger than the Slythens'.

He could evade but his own attacks are unable to pierce through David's defences. Which put them in a sort of stalemate.

Sewing as his attacks were not being effective enough, Python separated the long sword, forming two short daggers.

He instantly stabbed at David's exposed back, where his kidney was located.

"Clang! Clang!"

The daggers only entered two to three centimetres deep before it was stopped by the muscles wriggling and hardening.

With a darkened expression, David suddenly whispered "Got you!"

His speed rose all of a sudden and he burst out with intense speed and strength. His body had only turned halfway but his hands had stretched, he instantly grabbed at Python's shoulder. His hands was like a vice grip and he held the body in his palm down to the ground with astonishing strength.

Horrified, Python slashed repeated at the hand, and although blood spilled out, it was only superficial wounds, not deep enough to cause any real damage.

David didn't mind his wounds at all. As soon as his body completely turned and faced his opponent, he had been slashed almost seven times in a row on his hand in that exact same spot.

Turning the injury from a superficial one to a serious one as one of his arteries had been cut in the process. If he didn't do anything soon he would bleed out in a few second. But to David, that was more than enough time to deal with the situation.

His opponent had been like a slippery loach but now that he had gotten hold of him, it was his turn.

He smashed a palm that had been infused with scorching fury, distorting the air with its heat down at Python's chest.

"Bang! Siiiiii!"

With a sizzle, the skin was burnt black and a few silver scales turned black instantly fell of the skin like weakened leaves.

Python screamed in agony and hurriedly wanted to retreat but David wasn't going to have it as his hands clamped with force on Python's shoulders, his fingers had dug deep with his flesh and had hooked on his Python's shoulder blades. Python rapidly kicked and slashed David in a panic, but just a few white marks shown in David's body as his skin repelled the blades.

Using short bursts of strength, David landed three palm strikes consecutively on his chest.

There was a few cracking sound as several bones were broken, his internal organs were also been damaged and roasted by the force from David's palm strike. Python seem to have gone crazy from the pain and like a python, he forced himself to get out of David's palm, David's finger had dug into his flesh and bones but as Python forces himself out from David's grasp, his shoulder bone broke. Flesh, blood and bones scatters everywhere.

Python seem to have gone crazy and he suddenly coiled himself around David.

He body contracted immediately, attempting to squeeze David to death. But that wasn't all, he raised his upper body and with a strange hiss, his chest contracted and inflated as though he was about to spit out massive amount saliva.

David's expression changed and the hairs in his body stood up, an immense sign of danger filled him. 'F*ck!'

"If you don't make a move now, when will you?!" David shouted to the air as he struggled. His breathing was even been squeezed out from his body. If that bastard hiding in the forest still didn't make a move. He would have no choice than to activate his Fold-Steps.

Python was in a rage already and it seen as though he hadn't heard what Davis had said earlier. Like a balloon, his chest inflated and all of a sudden, he targeted David's face and large amount of liquid sprayed out from his mouth like water jets.

In the last moment, David's upper body instantly shrunk in size and his neck seen to have disappeared, leaving his head deeply resting on his shoulder blades. Using this technique, he had strangely avoided the liquid that was about touch his face.

A foul and stinking smell hit his nose and David instantly felt light headed.

Behind him, the sand on the ground sizzled and the corrosive liquid began to expand, spreading and corroding the entire sand a few inches deep before it stopped.

"So that's what he has for a trump card uhn?"

From the distance, Slythen muttered to himself and watched but when he saw that David only shrank his neck a few inches deeper, he stopped waiting and took action. Although, it was an impressive trump card, one could learn it by purchasing the manual from the institute. It was by no means rare

His footsteps were surprisingly silent and he rushed behind Python who was about to spray another bout of corrosive liquid.

With a stomp and a jump, he smashed his hammer down at Python.
