Seeing that David was about to leave, Duane immediately spoke again, "Every survivor in this world should abide by the principles of the apocalypse. If anyone dares to disrupt it, I will use my life to protect it."
As Duane said these words, his expression became particularly solemn. Ever since the apocalypse descended upon this world, he had been monitoring every move in this world with his Phoenix Rising team, all for the purpose of ensuring that this world wouldn't continue to decay. He admitted that even if he wasn't the savior of the apocalypse, he was willing to give everything, even his life, for this world.
Upon hearing Duane's words, David stopped in his tracks and looked at him intently, saying in a deep voice, "Do you think you can change this world just by yourself? This world is inherently lawless, and what you're guarding is nothing more than your memories of the previous world. If you truly want to do something for this world, why not kill more zombies and increase your level? Without strength, you will always be a castaway in this world." David's tone was cold as he spoke to Duane.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, David had the same thoughts as Duane. However, after experiencing various deceitful schemes, David realized that if he wanted to protect this world, becoming stronger was his only way. Otherwise, he would eventually fall under the feet of zombies. At that time, it would be difficult enough just to survive, let alone protect the world. David admired Duane's lofty ideals. However, in his eyes, Duane's strength was simply too weak.
At this moment, Duane looked up at David. He didn't expect to hear these words from a young man's mouth. So he said to David once again, "Strength, you say? Well, let's have a fight then. Perhaps you will make me realize what true strength is."
Duane naturally knew that his level was lower than David's, but upon hearing David's words, his fighting spirit was instantly ignited. He also wanted to see the strength of this young man before him and whether he was the mastermind behind the Second Red Light.
As soon as Duane finished speaking, he drew two black daggers from his waist, then swiftly charged towards David. Seeing the opponent's action, David remained calm. He knew that the other person was testing his strength. Arnold, at this time, didn't want to fall behind either and quickly prepared to confront Duane and teach him a lesson.
"Arnold, you don't need to intervene in my business. I'll let him see the strength of our Embers team," David said, and upon hearing this, Arnold stopped in his tracks and nodded at David. The others also relaxed as they looked at David with confidence. They knew their captain could easily overpower this strange individual.
While they were contemplating, David pulled out his alloy short knife and charged towards Duane. His speed was so fast that it even stirred up a whistling sound throughout the abandoned factory. In the blink of an eye, David reached Duane.
"Such incredible speed!" Duane couldn't help but be amazed as he looked at David's afterimage. He then raised the daggers in his hand and unleashed a move called "Chasing Stars, Shattering Moon," slashing towards David's shoulder.
Seeing this, David merely shifted slightly and raised his alloy short knife, blocking Duane's dagger. Duane quickly flipped his wrist, causing the dagger to spin in his hand in a strange manner. Then he thrust it towards David's abdomen, utilizing his maximum speed and strength.No matter whether it was speed or strength, it was the maximum limit he could unleash.
However, in David's eyes, this level of attack had no effect on him at all. So as Duane's dagger was about to touch his clothes, David directly opened a portal using his spatial abilities, and in an instant, he teleported behind Duane.I think you should take a look at
"Huh? Disappeared?A spatial ability awakened?" Seeing the empty space in front of him, Duane immediately realized that David's awakened ability was related to space manipulation.
At the same time, David stood behind him and whispered, "To recognize my awakened ability means that you still have some strength, but... it's too late."
Hearing David's voice, a wave of determination surged through Duane's heart. Without hesitation, he swung his dagger in a move called "Arc of the Sky," slashing towards David. As Duane swung the dagger mid-air, it was suddenly blocked by David's hand. Their palms and the dagger collided, producing a crisp sound. Meanwhile, David's awakened defensive ability and the extent of his physical prowess, which surpassed ordinary individuals, had already exceeded common knowledge. So, a mere dagger was insignificant in his eyes.
But to Duane, this was simply a terrifying display. After all, he was a Level 5 awakened esper of the Metal element. He had exceptional skills in using metal weapons, even infusing his combat intent into the dagger to synchronize his mind with it, thus increasing the dagger's combat effectiveness. The attack he just used, "Arc of the Sky," was a technique he had devised himself, somewhat similar to a surprise attack that could deal the heaviest damage when the opponent was caught off guard.
Yet, even so, it was easily countered by David's bare-handed technique. Duane furrowed his brow as he looked at this terrifying young man. David lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, softly saying, "I told you, your strength is too weak. In my eyes, your Level 5 ability means nothing."
After speaking, David looked at the black dagger in his hand and then murmured two words, "Corrode." As soon as the words fell, an extremely ferocious aura suddenly surged out from his palm. This aura instantly enveloped Duane's dagger.
In just an instant, the aura completely corroded the dagger into black liquid. The liquid flowed continuously on the ground through the gaps between David's fingers, making a "drip-drip" sound. Duane couldn't help but inhale sharply. It actually instantaneously corroded and melted the dagger made of his own refined iron? What kind of terrifying power was this?
Momentarily stunned, Duane let go of the hilt of his dagger and looked at David. "I have to admit, your strength is indeed formidable. So you are capable of controlling the Second Red Light, esper. Am I right?" At this moment, Duane's concern still revolved around the changes the Second Red Light brought to the laws of this world.
Hearing Duane say that, David couldn't help but twitch his lips. Then he said again, "I've told you, the Second Red Light has nothing to do with me. Similarly, I am also searching for the reason. This world isn't just you alone trying to unravel the truth."
After speaking, David no longer intended to entangle himself with this individual and gestured to leave the place.
