Running ahead, he would occasionally look back at the lion to make sure he didn't get too close to him.
He continued running till he got to the new construction site in the university.
His purpose for running for so long was to be able to utilize all his abilities in order to defeat the lion and he definitely wouldn't expose himself in front of everyone.
The fact that he could punch the lion out of his mind was crazy enough and if they knew of his real abilities then he wouldn't be able to escape a round of thorough dissecting.
He looked back and saw the lion still sprinting madly towards him then took a stance and raised his right arm in the air for another punch.
He had discovered that the strange man that had attacked him was much more powerful than when he fought him and the most likely reason was that his movements were very rigid which caused him to be unable to gather his power.
'But since this body is mine now, I will make the best use of it!'
He thought then threw out a punch even heavier than before while the lion also swiped its claw towards him.
The moment their attacks collided, the dust in the area and everything close to them were blasted apart but this time the lion was still standing strong.
He hurriedly rolled to the side to dodge the lion's claws with a part of his clothes being scratched but he still remained unscathed.
'It seems like he is tough, much tougher than I thought and I would have to give my all if I want to win this fight.'
He thought then changed his form to Michael's. The result of an experiment he had conducted before and found out that if he transformed to another form while in the man's body then he would retain the power of the two sides.
The only repercussion was that he couldn't handle it for long but it would definitely serve its purpose.
He then stepped forward and threw another punch with all his strength and this time the lion was pushed back.
'What is going on? The punch earlier was not as strong as this one yet it seems to affect him less.' He thought then saw the sparks flickering across his body.
'It must be those, they definitely weren't there before' he thought then decided on the best plan for him.
'I am not a shape shifter or a fighter, my best specialty is devouring others and that is what I will do!' he thought then threw another punch watching it stagger backwards then he took a huge leap and jumped onto the lion's back.
He then hugged it tightly and thought of the word 'Devour'
All the cells in his body rushed into the lion's body then assimilated into it and then he fell to the ground in the same form he always found himself in.
The phantom like form, this time he knew what exactly to do and with that thought, he jumped up and brushed through the lion's body feeling the same suction force from before then a feeling of weightlessness.
The next thing he felt was the solid ground and when he looked up he found the lion to have vanished.
'It's just like last time, assimilating it then turning it into my normal body and also I have the cluster of the lion now, does that mean I can also turn into it if I like?'
'Then what would it look like if I combined the lion's form with the strange man's form.'
'That would definitely be over the top!'
He checked around the area ensuring that there were nobody in the area then he ran away at top speed heading for the gate.
After leaving the university, he hailed a cab to his hostel then checked his appearance to make sure nothing was wrong.
After getting to his hostel he decided to conduct a series of test and find out his new powers which he got from the lion.

In the unni
20 minutes after the fight between David and the lion two men appeared at the site then checked the area.
"It looks like a huge fight happened between the lion and the boy but there are no signs of them" the first man said.
"Also, judging from the scale of the fight it seems the boy is also a mutant and he knows about it well enough to defeat a lion with a power at that level."
The second man moved forward and examined the area more carefully then said "The boy is dead"
The other man shook his head and said "Such a pity, with a new addition with his powers, he would've been a good seedling but sigh. But if the boy is dead then where is the lion?"
"That's the problem, I can feel the lion's presence but it is like he vanished or-----." He suddenly stopped then smiled when he saw something.
"Well things are starting to get real interesting" the man said with a smile.
