The Ancient Genes

Grr...

With a slow rumbling sound, They saw the entrance appear on the wall.

But as Max took a step forward, a notification appeared in front of him along with the system's sweet and pleasant voice.

« !! Threat Detected !! »

« Host is advised to evacuate the Area, a powerful entity which could be hostile has appeared within a radius of 500m »

Seeing the notification, Max froze to his spot.

He clenched his hands into a fist so hard that his nails dug into his palm.

He could guess that was probably the person those two guys were talking about.

"Max, what's wrong, let's go." Seeing Max in a daze, Axle waved his hands in front of him while speaking.

"Huff...."

He let out a sigh.

His body refused to turn around.

There was a little girl waiting for him to help. If he couldn't even save the person whom he wanted to save, how could he claim to save the world.

Won't the Old God's words turn into truth.ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

Before knowing, He had already made his decision.

"I think you should leave." Max asked Axle to leave as he didn't want that guy to get in trouble. He had already been through so much.

"What are you saying all of a sudden?" Axle spoke with a smile failing to grasp the situation. But noticing the air of seriousness around Max, his smile faded.

"What is it?" He spoke with seriousness.

"I just sensed a frightening presence. We will surely die if we encounter him." Max replied.

Listening to him, Axle closed his eyes for a second before opening his eyes with an emotion Max couldn't comprehend.

"I am partly responsible for this trouble, it's my duty to help."

He paused for a while before speaking with a smile.

"Besides, I have already lost a brother and I don't want to lose another one."

Finishing his sentence, he turned and walked into the passage before speaking, "Let's go."

Max didn't know why, but he felt his eyes watering.

'Damn it!'

'Trying to act cool.'

Even though Max thought that. But still he felt a happiness blooming within him as he followed Axle with a smile.

....

Finally, the door of the entrance to leave the passage appeared.

Since Axle was walking in front of Max, he went ahead to pull the door knob.

But, suddenly Max's ear perked and he rushed towards him and grabbed his hand.

Seeing his actions, Axle turned his head toward Max.

"Keep quiet, they are behind the door." Max whispered into his ears.

"What!"

"I can hear them." Max spoke.

"So, what do we do? Do you have an idea? " He asked Max and he found his head empty and failed to reply to him.

"I have an idea, we need to change our plan. It's just that..... it will become riskier." Observing his silence, Axle replied.

...

...

...

Hearing him Max's face became dark.

It was dangerous.

But they were already in danger. If they didn't take any steps then, they would be no different than sitting ducks, waiting to be cooked.

"Are you sure?" Max asked Axle in concern.

"Yes I am, don't underestimate me." He spoke while thumping his chest with his fist.

"Fine then, I am sending Murcas's contact info to your phone."

"Ok, now stand here, don't move, I will draw a formation around you." Axle spoke and started drawing a formation around Max.

....

Within a minute, Max found his appearance totally changed.

It really felt odd seeing that bulge on his chest not to mention that fair and smooth looking skin.

"You look very sexy Max, anyone will have second thoughts after looking at you." he heard Axle whisper.

Max didn't know if he should take that as a compliment or not.

But that illusion formation was really drawn pretty well.

Axle really made Max into a heavenly beauty.

His appearance was that of beauty with a fair sparkling skin, blue hairs and a voluptuous devil like figure. It was the peek of a teenage beauty.

Seeing Axle's glistening eyes, a thought appeared in his mind.

'Don't tell me, is this his taste.'

He just hoped that their plan doesn't backfire.

"Are you ready Max? " Max heard Axle whisper.

"Yes, I am." He replied.

Shssh...

They both took a deep breath in, before looking at each other.

They didn't need to speak, it was very obvious. They both meant the same thing.

'Don't you dare to die'

With that, Axle grabbed his hairs and dragged him before kicking the door open as he struggled to break free of his grasp.𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
