The Ancient Genes

\'It really hurts.\'

He couldn\'t help but curse.

But he knew very well that he didn\'t have any time to waste. He needed to move quickly. It was already weird that the people inside the I.T. room didn\'t come out even after hearing the commotion.

Axle slowly pushed his body up and got up after picking his rifle.

"I couldn\'t believe it really worked. Who said formation masters couldn\'t fight and only support."

There were different types of runes on that gun. They were all basic low level runes. One was for increase in basic attack, one was for piercing power, one was for increasing agility and so on.

Axle at that moment didn\'t know that at his level, no one was able to perform such a difficult maneuver in the past.

Why?

They didn\'t have the skills to do it.

So basically, he was one of his kind.

…

Slowly, Axle finally reached the door to the I.T. room.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open and there was only a single terrified person inside the room, with the phone in his hand.

"He\'s... h..here.. please...send...hel-"

"Bang!"

There was a sound of gunshot as the guy stopped speaking and slowly fell on the ground with a thud.

"Huh.."

"How in hell is the phone working around here?"

Axle took out his phone and found that it was receiving network.

"What kind of formation is this? Did they intentionally create a hole in the formation here to be able to provide information to other places."

\'It was weird, on a second thought maybe not. I mean what use would the IT room have if they can\'t even provide information and report about the anomaly they observed through surveillance.\'

\'But, what level of terrifying strength one needed to have to make such a complex formation.\'

\'Forget it, It is good for me. I should contact that person first.\'

Axle dialed the Murcas\'s number on his phone and made the call.

"♪ who\'s the bessttt...♪"

"♪ I am the best ♪"

Hearing the ring tone, a line appeared on Axle\'s face.

\'Can this guy really help us?\'

His worry wasn\'t without a point.

Because usually strong people don\'t like to flaunt about their strength.

"Beep!..Beep!"

The phone disconnected.

\'why the hell is he not picking it up?\'

\'God Damnit!!!, Pick up the phone…\'

And Axle dialed his number again, as his eyes suddenly fell on the piece of paper stuck on the wall.

…

"Get ready we are about to leave this place." Max spoke while scanning all the girls around me.

Everyone of them had dark circles around their eyes and a fear in their eyes.

"Huff…"

Max couldn\'t help but let out a sigh.

"Look, you all don\'t need to be afraid of me. I am here to get you all out of here." Max tried to calm them down.

He couldn\'t blame them for panicking. He didn\'t even know what they have suffered mentally after being Captured there for such a long time.

..

Suddenly, his eyes caught the sight of a familiar face hiding beside Lisa.

It was Mia, the cute little girl. It had all started because of her.

Seeing her teary eyes, Max walked in front of her and kneeled on his right leg before wiping the tears in her eyes.

"Why are you crying, Mia?"

"Your Daddy said her daughter was very brave."

"Ah!... Daddy…." She looked at him before speaking.

"Yes, Mia\'s Daddy had hired me to bring you all out of here." Max spoke as he could feel several gazes on him.

"Yay! I knew my hero would come." The little girl jumped into his arms with a cheerful smile.

"Clang."

He hit the chain on her leg with the hilt of his dagger breaking it apart.

"Do you want to leave this place?" Max asked again.

And that time, there was not a fear but an anticipation in their eyes.

…

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

..

..

..

One by one, he started to break the chains and set them free.

As Max walked in front of Lisa, he could feel her intense gaze on him.

"Who has sent you?" That girl finally spoke.

"Didn\'t I already said about it.", Max replied while masking his voice.

"Do you think I am a fool? If you were here to rescue a girl, then why would you take all this extra luggage with you. Won\'t it be easy to just get out of here with the little girl?" She spoke while staring at him.

That girl was really getting on his nerves. And after knowing about Axle\'s brother, he already had second thoughts of leaving her behind.

"Fine then." His hands stopped just before the hilt of his dagger struck the chain on her legs.

"I will leave you behind Miss Extra Luggage." Max got up under her widened eyes and turned around.

"Y..You Stop!" She spoke with a stutter as her face got red.

"What now?"Max asked her in disdain.

"…." She could clearly see the disdainful look in my eyes. But she could only grit her teeths as her pride didn\'t let her beg for help.

\'No reply? Fine then. You want to play the hard way, I will make you beg in front of me.\'

"If you haven\'t got anything to say, I will be leaving then."

"Wait.. Do you know who I am?" She spoke with a smile.

Now, that really triggered him. How do you need to raise your child for her to have such a personality.

"Yes, I know you. You are just a duck waiting to be cooked." Max spoke with a smile and turned to leave.

"Don\'t... leave....me..", Finally Lisa muttered as her eyes started to water.

But Max had already planned to leave her behind if she couldn\'t raise her voice up.

All the girls in the room didn\'t even raise their voice to support her.

Who would support her?

She just said some harsh words like.

\'They were extra luggage.\'

\'They didn\'t know what her intentions were.\'

\'But on the first look, if it were me. I wouldn\'t take it in a good way.\' Max thought.

"Big brother Hero, Are we going to leave that sister behind?" Finally someone raised her voice.

It was the little girl, Mia.

"Yes, Mia. What did your father say to do when you need someone\'s help?" Max asked the little girl while patting her head.

"Um..I remember. I need to bow down my head and request him and if he agrees, I need to thank him." Mia replied in her cute little voice.

"You are a good girl. So tell me. Did you see that sister do that like your other sisters did to me?" Max asked again.

"No." She replied.

"Then doesn\'t this mean she doesn\'t need my help." Max spoke with a smile.

Even though Max didn\'t look behind. He could hear the clatter as she gritted her teeths.

He didn\'t know why, but suddenly, even in that terrible situation he felt good.

…

…

But, a storm had already started to brew .
