The Ancient Genes

Worker's District, Ocien.

The sky had slowly turned dark, and the streets were slowly getting crowded. A batch of people were leaving the factories at the end of their shift while another was getting ready for their night shifts.

Even though everything seemed normal, a certain part of the district definitely wasn't so.

A bloody battle was currently taking place in one of the factories to the east of the district. But, there weren't any signs of it. There were neither screams nor the smell of blood. It seemed that something had totally blocked all of it.

'A little more..' Rihanna muttered as her breathing turned heavy. Even if these people were no match for her, she was still getting tired by fighting so many of them. Not to mention, that injuries were piling up on her as well.

There was no way that she could dodge every move of them when there were so many of them. It was just that she had a thin layer of armour under her dress made from the hide of Mystic Beast which had been saving her life until now.

'I can see my way out..' Rihanna's hopes of escaping were at an all time high when she could finally see the sight of the main gates once again. This newfound hope made her even more ferocious, and the corpses piling around immediately began to increase frantically as she went all out.

"Goddamnit!!! Kill her!! Or we will be dead!!!" One of the people shouted in madness. They knew that if the girl escaped, the higher ups would silence them in a few seconds to erase all the evidence.

Hence, the girl had to die.

Rihanna suddenly began to feel a pressure when these people stopped caring for their lives and began to attack in a frenzy. Some even daring to trade blows for blows.

"Shnk!"

A person stabbed a sharp iron rod into Rihanna's arm while having his own head chopped off.

Blood gushed out of the hole in her hand as Rihanna pulled the rod out, and gritted her teeth while enduring the pain.

At this moment, Rihanna suddenly pulled out a disk from her storage device, and crazily poured all her energy into it.

The people's faces immediately turned pale on feeling the fluctuation from the Formation Disk.

"Run!!!" A person yelled.

"Crackle!"

But, it was too late.

The Disk suddenly let out a terrifying field of lighting and swept through entire place.

Screams rang out and people fell onto the ground one after another.

Rihanna's face was pale by now. The moment of rest allowed her time to use her transmitter once again, but the results were no different, it seemed that someone had activated some kind of formation to block any form of communications.

Rihanna looked at the people who had been zapped by lightning, she didn't know if these people were dead or not, but even if they weren't it was very likely that they weren't in a condition to move.

Hence, she made her way towards the main gate.

But, the next second she froze.

Suddenly, she felt several presence all around her.

"Show yourself.." She spoke with vigilance in her eyes.

"You certainly are not an ordinary lady.." A voice sounded, and the next instantly a dozen people appeared all around her.

Rihanna's eyes dilated when she felt that the man leading this group was actually a Grandmaster Tier Mage. This person was dressed in a long blue overcoat with black vest and trousers underneath.

There were four people behind this man and they were all Master Tier Mages.

This was definitely not an ordinary force.

They had to be a recognized group.

"Dark Society…" Rihanna muttered with a dark look on her face. They were the only people who were after them right now.

"Well, you certainly are quite smart," The man said with a smile, "So, are you going to willingly come with us or will put up a futile resistance?"

Rihanna looked at them, and then her shoulders dropped a little as she spoke, "I will follow.."

"Good.." The man nodded with a smile and the four people immediately surrounded Rihanna as she walked towards the man in blue robe.

"Hmmn?" At this moment, the Grandmaster Tier mage suddenly seemed to have a dangerous feeling and he immediately alerted his people, before backing away himself, "Carefull!!"

Rihanna's hand suddenly flashed, and the next instant, as a light blue mana crystal with a strange formation engraved in it appeared in her hands. She looked at the man who was retreating with a fearful look on his face, and smiled as she shattered the piece of crystal.

"Shatter!"

A chilling aura immediately swept around, and the mana around plunged into chaos as a power of a supreme broke out from the shattered crystal.

The four Master Tier mages who were all around mid to peak of the the Tier immediately exploded into a bloody mist while the Grandmaster Tier mage who was first to react spit out blood along with some damages parts of his organs as his body flew through the air and crashed into the main gates of the palace.

"I need to get away fast.." Rihanna only had a little energy left within her as she brought out another green colored mana crystal in her hand which seemed to contain wind energy. It was now made clear how terrifying people of the Ancient families could be.

Even if Max was stronger than Rihanna, the earlier attack would have certainly turned him into a bloody mist as well.

As Rihanna gathered her strength and tried to pour her remaining mana to activate the engraving on the crystal and shatter it, a hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her wrist.

"Crack!"

A snapping sound rang out and Rihanna's wrist bend in an unnatural angle.

"Aahh!!!" A painful scream came out of Rihanna's mouth, as the mana crystal in her hand fell down. She staggered and almost fell onto her knees. Yet, the brave girl still gritted her teeth and with a face full of sweat, turned her head to look at the person in front.

It was the guard who had been at the main gates earlier.

"You have caused too much trouble, it's time for it to end…" As the man spoke, the aura of a Supreme broke out from him and Rihanna immediately fell unconscious under it.
