The Ancient Genes

"Kill?" Faryl looked at Arnold with a smile on his face. "Do you think you are capable of that?"

"It will be clear in a minute.." Arnold still maintained his calm as he stared at the guy.

Atrhur was standing in between the two of them, still unable to decide what stance to take. His face clearly showed the conflict that was going inside his mind.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the two people on his either side vanished.

The next second, Arnold appeared right in front of Arthur. It seemed that his first target wasn't Faryl.

Arnold's hand instantly turned into molten lava, and shot towards Arthur. This all happened in an extremely quick succession, and Arthur who was still stunned from all of this had no time to react.

As he felt the burning sensation on his face, Arthur finally began to react, but it was already too late for him to dodge. But, right at this moment, Arthur suddenly felt a tug from behind, and he was immediately pulled back while another figure overtook him.

Faryl had appeared at the right time to save the day, his fist immediately erupted with a tide of water and clashed head on with Arnold.

"Boom!"

The collision shook the place, and resulted into a huge cloud of steam.

When the steam finally disappeared, the results were made clear.

"You are still no match for me.." Fary let out a smile on his face as he looked at Arnold who forced a foot away after the collision.

Arnold's face was dark. He didn't expect that he would still fall a little short. He knew that he was weaker than this guy, but it was in a normal situation. Now that they had exhausted themselves after fighting amongst each other, he was confident to take them down. But, reality was a little different.

But, reality was also a little in his favour right now..

"You are truly arrogant.." Arnold shook his head as he looked at Faryl. He had no idea where this guy came from, and how he had known about Demons but for some reason, he felt a strange sensation from him. And, it reminded him of some people.

"But, I guess you can't help it. After all, people of the Ancient Family are born this way, don't they?" Arnold further asked with a smile, but Fary maintained his calm and didn't respond to him.

"That's an interesting claim…" Another voice rang out at this instant, and soon a figure appeared in front of everyone.

It was August.

He had woken up a while ago, and was trying to find a way out when he heard this commotion. And, just when he reached this place, he seemed to hear something interesting.

He couldn't help, but shift his gaze onto Faryl. This guy was definitely not normal. But, saying that he was from Ancient family might be an overstatement. After all, there were always people like him who would appear in the outer world, and would go on to be recruited by the Ancient Families.

"Guys can we just stop all of this for a second.." Arthur stepped up as he looked at everyone. His head was still a mess. He didn't have much idea about the situation but he knew one thing that this brother would definitely die if he allowed this fight to go on.

All he needed was one moment with Arnold, he was wishing to restrain this guy at all cost and talk some sense into him. Because that was the only way for him to control this situation.

"Bang!"

Out of nowhere, a figure appeared behind Arthur, and struck. The strike wasn't filled with any intention to kill. But, it was still strong enough to make Arthur unconscious.

This situation caught everyone by surprise, and they looked at this new figure who had arrived out of nowhere with vigilance in their eyes. After all, they couldn't recognize who this fellow with white hairs was.

This new guy was obviously Victor.

He knew that Arthur was going to be a nuisance. He had already arrived at the scene before August, and had seen everything. And, he couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Bahamut was right in the end about Arnold's character. This guy couldn't be saved.

Victor slowly turned his head, and looked towards August before giving him a nod. Both of them were the followers of one of the five, and the connection even though faint, still existed between them.

And, hence, they could easily identify each other, and there was no need for them to treat each other as a threat.

August obviously was surprised when he saw this person, he too didn't recognise this guy as Victor. After all, Victor had changed a lot from his earlier outward appearance.

"He is on our side.." August spoke to Faryl who still had his guard up against Victor.

Faryl frowned on hearing August, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did he get here?"

Victor suddenly took out a token from his storage device, and Faryl's expression immediately changed on seeing it. Because this was a token of his own family, and it could only be given by someone with the status of at least an elder.

"Who sent you here?" Faryl asked him in surprise.

"That's not important, it's important that you know that I am on your side.." Victor calmly stated as he looked at him. He wasn't going to say that the token was from Uncle Giant, and had been passed onto him by Bahamut.

Faryl's face turned a bit dark when he received that attitude. Just to let you know he was the Young Lord of the House.

"It's one after another. You guys truly are like pests.." Arnold, who had been silent until now, finally spoke as he looked at them. With three guys against them, he knew that the current him wouldn't be there match..

But..

An eerily aura suddenly erupted from Arnold, and began to engulf him into it.

If it was earlier, he wouldn't have used this form of his, afraid that it would be seen on the broadcast, but now he didn't need to be careful, he could finally go all out, and reveal his true strength.

The victory would be his today at any cost..
