CHAPTER 3

After Diana finished talking, her and the black haired girl started bombarding the black beetle with arrows, they mostly fired its eyes. The black armored beetle screeched and immediately rushed towards the red haired girl who was attacking it with her spear.

"Watch out" Diana screamed. She pointed her palm towards the beetle, a blue bolt of lightning shot out of her palm, it struck the beetle head with a loud cracking sound.

'Whoa, was that a gene skill?' Damian thought in amazement. After it was struck by the bolt of lightning, the beetle collapsed on the ground slightly twitching. The red haired girl quickly snapped out of her daze and rushed towards Diana to support her, she looked weak after using the skill.

"Let's end this" Damian said with a serious expression. He ran towards the beetle and struck its head with his sword. After being struck by lightning, there was a crack on the beetle's shell. Damian took advantage of the opening to repeatedly strike the beetle's flesh. Blood and other fluids sprayed around him as he twisted and stabbed the beetle.

After attacking for five minutes, the beetle finally stopped moving. "Phew, that was hard" Damian sighed in exhaustion. After he killed the beetle, its head glowed with white light as a marble sized orb flew out of it. It flew towards Damian and hung in the air as if waiting for him to pick it up. Damian held and observed it.

The orb was black, it glowed with a pale white light, on the orb was a white drawing of the Black armored beetle. "Hey Diana check this out" Damian tossed the orb towards her, a she was already healed.

She caught it and observed it for a second. "This is a Black armored beetle gene skill, it has the aura of a 2-star beast. If I'm guessing correctly the skill might be a strength type skill".she threw the orb towards Damian "You contributed the most, so you deserve it"

Damian caught the orb and stared at it for a while. "You can't give something so valuable, I was just trying to help the team" he said with a righteous look. "Then give it back" Diana said stretching her hand towards him.

"Actually I need the skill after all I need to improve my strength" Damian smiled. "How do I use it?"

"Just swallow it" Diana replied. Damian was surprised that the process would be so easy. He threw the orb into his mouth and swallowed it. Immediately after swallowing it, he felt a headache as a huge amount of information entered his head.

The gene skill provided by the black armored beetle was an unarmed fighting technique. Damian channelled all the energy in his body into his fist and released a punch. The punch travelled with speed and power, it even released a Shockwave.

"Diana was right it's a strength type skill" Damian said with a slight disappointment. He used swords to fight so he wouldn't be able to use the skill more often.

"Hey Diana how are beast ranked and how did you know this was a gene skill" Damian asked curiously. "Gene skills are shaped like orbs while Gene physiques look like crystals. And as for beast ranking, they are ranked from 1-star to 5 star. The higher the star the stronger they are" Diana replied.
