The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance
Chapter 76 Daredevils I

David was a daring man. Ever since he was a child, he would do what others considered impossible. One, for the sake of proving himself to his parents.

And two, just to stand out from his peers. He was born a Gray, with a famous mother, and a powerful father. And even amongst the entire lineage of the Gray Family, they both stood out.

Whether be those that focused on their mental capabilities, or those that focused on their physical capabilities, the both of them were among the top.

Yet in this New world of Gaia, the status of technology greatly decreased, hence those that focused on their mentality, were reduced in status.

That being the case, for the most optimum path to keep the Bloodline at its highest state, was the physical route. Which all second generational humans were forced to take due to body evolution.

And being a Gray, David stood out. Hence why he had a prideful disposition, and a great need for battle. He was born under such circumstances.

He grew up fighting his father, uncles, aunties, cousins and even non family members. He fought so much, to the point where fighting just became a part of his personality.

Just as how Esther's killing was a part of her personalities at this point. Or maybe Damien's indifference. It was part of being a Gray. The hidden most Superior Bloodline of humanity.

'And I'll continue to forever prove my Bloodline. My son will also do the same. And my grand children too. The Gray Bloodline, will forever stay Superior!!' He thought to himself, his body increasing in size.

At the same time, he struck the ground with ferocity. But unlike his usual rampage, the hammer did not shatter the ground, or cause any tremors.

Instead, using [Kinetic Force Manipulation], he redirected all the weight and power of the hammer to bounce off the ground, or rather reflect itself.

This way, all the damage worth over a hundred million tons, was reflect on the ground like light on a mirror, as pure force damage that decimated an entire area over tens of miles rose up.

Boom!!

And regardless of how powerful the wolves around him were, they suffered over 100% of the damage delt, and were torn apart into a rain of flesh and blood.

Especially so, when he targeted the wolves at the central area, where mostly were Tier 3 (Advanced) and Tier 4 (Master). They were incapable of defending even when using their Evolutionary Abilities and other Abilities.

"Awoo..!!"

"Aw..."

"Awawaw..."

The wolves cried out before they died. And even some died without letting out a single cry. The entire wolf army was flabbergasted.

They stopped dead in their tracks, and watched the rain of blood and flesh paint the floor. While at the center, a man stood with a smile of pleasure and excitement on his face.

Then it clicked to them that an enemy was upon them. They snarled at him and rushed over without any hesitation whatsoever. The wrath and sadness within their eyes being their fuel of motivation.

Whether they were the Tier 1 and Tier 2 wolves at the back, the Tier 3 and Tier 4 wolves sorounding him, the Tier 5 and Tier 6 wolves at the front, they all rushed over.

They did not care about their death. But they cared more about David's death. Regardless, the enemy had to die!! Or... so they thought.

Because just as over a million wolves charged towards him from all directions, a black flash of light appeared above the alpha wolf's head.

The black flash then revealed itself to be Esther, who was ready to piece through the gigantic alpha wolf's neck. Her timing, her speed and her analysis were spot on.

She moved just as the alpha wolf was sure that they would swarm and devour David. But unfortunately for her, this wolf was still a Tier 7 beast.

A demigod equivalent beast, a Third League entity, and a holder of a Divine Evolutionary Path. It was powerful in its own right as well.

A golden glint flashed through its eyes, and a green shade cloaked its fur. Then with fast reflexes, it moved its head so fast, it appeared as a blur, and snapped towards the figure of Esther.

...!!!

Unfortunately, it realized that it's teeth snapped at an after image. Esther herself appeared above it's head in yet another flash of black light. And in her hands, was a thin needle cloaked in purple-ish red aura.

And without wasting much time, she struck towards the alpha wolf's head with all her strength. The alpha wolf also instinctively reacted, and activate another one of its Evolutionary Ability.

It's fur turned a sheen of gray, and became metallic, reflecting the sun's ray. And when the purple-ish red aura cloaked needle struck its head, a metallic sound rang out.

Ki~iing~

Boom!!

Followed by an explosive burst of similarly colored aura that spread out to cover almost two hundred miles of range, tearing, breaking or deforming every wolf within its range of influence.

More wolves were killed, than when David made his move. Hence attracting the attention of the wolves once again. They paused once more, shocked and confused, as they turned back.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The battlefield was silenced. Even Esther was shocked. From her knowledge, her Class Abilities were capable of affecting even gods to an extent. But there was something she did not know as of yet.

Her Class Ability could skip over eight Ranks, due it being a Hidden Class. And a Greater Divine Class could skip five Realms. The five canceled five from the eight, making it that: during this battle, the alpha could only affect those of its same Rank with its Evolutionary Abilities, while Esther could now affect those three Ranks above her.

And the current alpha wolf was a Tier 7 wolf, two Ranks above her, meaning that it barely, barely, almost made it out alive from this small exchange due to its luck.

The aloha wolf realized that it survived the exchange, and immediately jerked its head up, throwing Esther away.

It then flashed a green shade over it's fur, and chased after her. Esther also did not stand still once she landed on the ground. She immediately kicked off the floor and transformed into a black flash of light.

And behind the black flash of light, was a green blur chasing after. The both of them moved at insane speeds, and entered deep into the army, Esther still being ahead.

The wolf army stood still in shock. They were flabbergasted, and did not know what to do in their current situation.

Should they help their leader, or avenge their fallen brethren? They thought. Yet the attacks did not give them that much time to think about anything.

David took ahold of his hammer and smashed it down. This time around, he shattered the earth within the same range of around thirty miles, and sent out a powerful shockwave that pushed the nearby wolves back.

At the same time, notifications bombarded his vision from The Primordial Source.

[ Congratulations!! You have killed a maximum number of one hundred thousands Wolves ]

[ Your Grand Dual Epithets, "Wolf Hunter" and "Wolf Huntress" have evolved into a First State Mythical Epithet ]

[ Wolf Hunter (MYTH-1) :- One who has killed too many wolves to count, and can ascend to godhood with how much negative karma against the wolves you have accumulated. Once equipped, this Epithet allows you to deal 100% more damage to wolf or any wolf kind, and also receive 10% damage reduction from wolves or their kind ]

"..."

David was impressed. No wonder he felt like the force of his hammer this time around, was more heavier and more powerful. It was because it was enhanced two fold.

The wolves were awakened with this small action of David, and immediately rose up to charge at him. While some that dealt in speed, chose to target Esther.

Meanwhile, Esther herself was in a pinch. Throughout the chase, she suddenly felt her movements stop. As if she froze through time, in the posture of running.

'...!!!'

She suddenly realized that she could not move, and felt her blood run cold. 'I am sorounded, and It's behind me!!' She thought, and indeed, the alpha wolf, that stood at almost twenty meters in height was behind her.

It's maw alone was capable of swallowing her whole in one bite. But such a scene did not occur. Instead, from out of the blue, a human sized fireball struck the wolf on its cheeks.

Boom!!

The fireball exploded, and misdirected the head of the alpha wolf to miss its target. Then another fireball, then another fireball, and another one. A series of shots that struck head on.

Boom!!

Boom!!

The effects on Esther's body also wore off, and she retreated as fast as she could. She was impressed and thankful, even though she felt like it was unnecessary.

At the same time, she looked up and saw Fiona raising up her hand that held a wand towards the sky, while her other hand was pointed towards the alpha wolf. Charging up yet another fireball.
