Dæmon-Warrior

Chapter 6

After his unexplainable experience the previous day. Vero decided that the only way to figure what was going on with him was to do a little hypothesis because he knew one thing. What was happening to him wasn’t’ ’Puberty’. Nevertheless, it was ridiculous to assume puberty had something to do with this. The amulet on the other hand…

Since it was Saturday, he was free to figure out ‘his’ problem. Right now, he was currently in an old boat warehouse in hell’s kitchen. He was dressed in a black denim jacket, a white Paris print t shirt, navy blue jeans and high top black skate sneakers sneakers.

“Hopefully I won’t attract any unwanted attention in here.” He casually said out loud to himself before opening his journal of superhero drawings he made to deal with his boredom and began flipping through the pages.

He kept flipping until he stopped on the pages he was looking for. On the left page was a black colored figure and the right page had drawings of different animals such as an elephant, a frog, a rhino, a lion, an eagle, a panther, a fox, a leopard, a cheetah, a shark, a fox, a crocodile, a spider etc.

“Let’s start with the simple one the spider.” He said before he began walking to a wall and slowly placed his right hand followed by his left hand and began climbing it.

After a few seconds passed, he began to wall crawl up with a faster pace before eventually, he began running around the walls of the warehouse. He eventually jumped of the wall and landed on the ground, rebounded and stuck to a wall on the opposite side.

Vero jumped back on the ground. “Ok, now we get to the predators, I mean I know that I have the speed of a cheetah or probably a leopard. But what else can I do besides having super hearing, super jumps, and super speed?” He asked himself thoughtfully  before a spotting a small stack of barrels. There was one at the top, two under it, and three at the bottom.

Making his way towards them, he jumped several feet in the air; he kicked the highest one several meters away with a 360-spin kick, followed by a roundhouse kick knocking two barrels away. Finally, Vero axe kicked the ground creating a strong air current that blew the remaining barrels away and the ground to crack under his feet.

“Guess we can add immense strength to the list.” Said Vero, casually. “But I’m gonna need something harder to hit.” He muttered before spotting an old damaged boat. “I guess that’ll do.” He thought before making his way towards it. He walked towards it and stopped right in front of it. He got in stance, which involved his right arm aiming at the boat, his left arm bent next to his left ribs, and his legs slightly bended while spread apart.

Thrusting his right arm, he punched the boat, which went flying and hit the double wooden doors, completely obliterating them. “Oops, maybe I didn't hold back my strength enough. Whatever. Let’s try some parkour.”

Launching himself forward outside, Vero grabbed hold of the edge, flipped himself outside to the top of the warehouse rooftop, and began sprinting across it. Vero reached the other side in less than three seconds before leaping very high and across a large distance towards the nearest skyscraper. Sticking to the wall, he began making his way up, but he lost patience and instead began sprinting up the building as if it was a flat surface. When he reached the edge, he front flipped onto the roof and sprinted across it before leaping very high then rebounded off a skyscraper window while twisting several stories in the air before landing lightly on a smaller building

“Whoo!” The teenager began sprinting on top of the rooftop and jumped of it again, over the street and onto the next rooftop. Vero leaped at a higher skyscraper and ran across the building windows. Reaching the edge of the building, he changed his path and started hopping upward, and eventually landed on the center of the rooftop. He stood up and punched the air in excitement. “Yeah! Now that was a thrill!”
