The Ancient Genes

"What are they doing?!!!'' Levi held her head and fell to the ground. It was a good thing that she had watched from high above in the air in the distance or else, she might have been charmed too.

The act of charm varied depending on people and their will power. It was very easy to charm someone who liked you and hard for the ones who hated you. ​​

No wonder even Andriel herself being a succubus got charmed by Max.

After a while…..

Max seemed to snap out of his state and Andriel hurriedly covered his eyes.

It was literally a disaster…

Lisa couldn't even stand straight much less walk, Andriel was slightly better while Max was further depressed for what he had done.

….

A few minutes later...

"Do I need to do this, is it that bad?" Max asked with a smile as he looked at Andriel and slightly raised her chin with his finger.

"Yes, it might be dangerous….you can't control your powers...look at you losing yourself….try to control your own Incubus Arts and not let yourself become like this…" Andriel said as she slapped his hand away. It wasn't that she disliked it. It was just that she wanted Max to get used to it and control himself and not act like this.

"Uh...sorry...goddamnit! What's wrong with me?" Max frowned, he didn't know why he just felt like doing what he did. It seemed that his hand had moved on its own.

"He is acting weird? Do you think he will be fine?" Lisa asked as she looked at Andriel.

"Well, as long as he gets used to the power and has complete control over it…." Andriel replied.

Max on other hand was looking at the changes he had been through.

Max could see a few new abilities that had popped up.

Incubus Physique made him a bit worried though, ...was he going to be like Andriel one day?

Spirit Mark was probably the tattoo on his body which he got after forming the contract. He had to experiment it in order to find out what he could possibly do with it.

Life Clone was useful and so was Devour. Since he could regenerate his life force it was a very good way for him to use this art.

He didn't even need Andriel to look after his mother now, since he could do it himself…

Wait a second! Since he could transfer life force, didn't that mean he could have helped Andriel normally if they just formed a contract….

Max realised that he had been fooled here…

He pulled down the blindfold and looked at Andriel helping Lisa to walk towards the waterfall with a smile on her face as the two chatted.

Max could tell from Lisa's serious look, that they weren't up to any good…she was most likely being advised on some weird sh*t.

"Well, it doesn't matter anymore...I guess.." Max smiled, not caring about the trivial stuff anymore.

…..

A while earlier…

When Max was busy sorting out his troubles, chaos had erupted outside.

"What's going on?!!" Erina asked as she looked at her teammates.

None of them had any ideas as well. It had practically turned into a war. Attacks were flying all around and none were spared.

Axel who was observing the scene suddenly saw a message arriving from Wilson.

He frowned when he saw what it said but Wilson's next few words made his face serious.

«Axel: Fine, this is the last time….you better not die...»

….

Wilson closed the message and then turned around when he finally sensed that person's arrival.

Neo landed behind not hiding his murderous aura in the least bit.

"I will ask you one last time…Why? Does this have something to do with my mother?" Wilson asked as he looked at the strange dual sided spear in Neo's hand. The more he looked, the more weird he felt....it seemed a bit familiar...

Neo, didn't reply…

Lightning began to crackle around Wilson as he gazed at the guy.

"It doesn't matter I guess...I have people who could use their brain to figure it out. I only need to bash you up…"

Neo let out a smile, "Do you think you can?''

"Well, I have been waiting to test out my new true spell...I guess you will be my first trial subject…"

….

In another place…..

"What do we do now? It seems they have reversed the situation…" Norek said with a smile.

"They will definitely come after us…" Nathan said as he looked at the rest.

"True, but I doubt that we need to be worried…." Kain said as he went ahead and tapped the button on the device completing the mission for securing the area.

This group from Orca were standing in an Express Car station and the area was littered with corpses of beasts.

Alen looked at Norek and signalled him to leave.

"Let's start the final plan...since things have taken a turn...we might as well end it sooner than planned…."

"True, we already have found this location sooner than predicted. Not to mention, I don't like these Ancient Family goons taking advantage of the situation…." Kain replied as he nodded with a smile.
