"Howl!!!"

A phantom image of a wolf instantly appeared behind David as he howled loudly. The fur of the phantom wolf was pure white, opposite of David's black fur, revealing it as a majestic creature that any beast would bow to! There was a 'KiNG' character on its forehead as it glanced at the world with pure indifference!

"HOWL!!!"

The world instantly trembled under its howl! The soundwaves were so fast they traveled in hundreds of speeds of light, slamming into Atherton's skill piercingly like an invisible wave of power.

The moment the soundwaves reached his ears, Atherston was rendered stunned. A vicious and cruel aura violently rampaged through his mind like a mountain torrent, his mind and consciousness went blank.

Of course, David wouldn't miss this opportunity! Using the power remnant from the Wolf's phantom, David's speed broke through space itself as he appeared before Atherston, his claws striking hard at the skull armor! He wanted to bash the skill into dust.

Suddenly, the world flashed as it turned black and white suddenly! He then saw Artherston's eyes drift towards him. David immediately developed a bad feeling.

In that instant, the air cracked, revealing the world hidden within the veil that was this world. "I struck air?"

David's eyes widened. From the corners of his eyes, the same index finger reached out toward his chest. Rapidly, the furs in David's chest hardened, as he transformed genes in his chest, turning his tissues, and internal organs into pure metal!

"KABOOM!"

David was flung back so violently he created sonic booms in the air that even friction could be seen around his floating body!

BANG!

Another mountain collapsed as David slammed into it violently. Just a second later. David flew out of the mountain.

"What speed!" David's eyes turned grim. Artherston wasn't simply fast, he seem as though he was tearing through space to appear before him, but David had comprehended a bit of space law therefore, even if Artherston's had more knowledge about space laws, he would still feel the space around him being manipulated, but he couldn't feel anything.

What David didn't know was that Artherston was actually pausing time for a second! The sign was the black and white flash of the world. Normally, one wouldn't even notice the black flash but David was able to see it because of his strength.

Artherston pointed upwards and a large orb the size of a mountain appeared above him. Suddenly, he pointed that same finger at David, and instantly the orb traveled at the speed of light, reaching David before he could react.

"KABOOM!"

David was forcefully blasted to the ground. The power lacerating his entire body in scars! Even his metallic skin could do nothing to defend him against the power of the large orb.

When the dust cleared, one could see a hole that was a hundred kilometers wide and about twenty kilometers deep in the ground. It was rapidly being filled with water from underground and sand.

It was as though a nuke had fine off in that exact position. Given the damage done to the ground, one could only imagine what damage David who was only flesh and blood had received.

Artherston floated in midair like a god, looking at the scene below him with indifference. The entire dojo had been destroyed by that single attack. Luckily, the people below it had the sense to move a few hundred of kilometers away when the battle started to get intense. But even then, they vomited blood as the shockwaves from the blast shook their internal organs violently.

Reverence filled the eyes of those who fixate their eyes on Artheston for he was a monster in human form. Just that attack had surpassed the galaxy realm and reached the realm of higher existences!

The world turned silent and gradually, the dust started to settle down. Suddenly, the old dojo master's eyes lit up as he stared at the center of the crater. "H-he's alive!?"

"How's that possible!? Why is the bastard so slippery!?" Rachael cursed in her mind as she saw a figure standing knee-deep in the water filled crater.

David was still alive! But he looked as though he was near death! The fur and flesh on his head had been destroyed, revealing a white bone skull and one of his eyes hung with a string, dangling beneath his chin.

There were injuries on his skin with blood covering half of his entire skin! He looked half-dead! With both his arms twisted into different positions!

He had felt the extreme threat within the orb and actually felt it was an actual world! Instead of a phantom! Artheston had actually used a world to attack him. Although it was only a small still in its infantry, it was still a world.

If he hadn't activated 9th star before he took the attack, he would have died without knowing how! An entire world had crashed into him and he took it with his two arms! But almost lost his life.

This time, David's face was cold and a small smile appeared on his lips. Gradually he started to rise to the air and in the blink of an eye, his skin started to regenerate rapidly in just ten seconds, he had gone from half dead to fully recover in the blink of an eye.

"I didn't think I would need this with you but you should at least know of my strength before I take your life… 12th star."

The last words sounded like a whisper.

'BOOOOOOOOOM!!!'

​ The surrounding space trembled turbulently as though a powerful being had descended!

Artherston's expressionless face which had remained since he had arrived suddenly changed and morphed into one of fear.

He only saw David get down on all four like a beast of which he had taken the form, and then vanished like a phantom.

Before he could react, the shadow of a claw touched his head like a mother caressing her child except for the force within the claw wasn't one of a caress!

"KABOOOOOOOOM!!!"
